    I know Cirstea's been in good form lately, but that's one of the upsets of the year so far for me.

    One guy I am excited to see if he can qualify this week in Estoril is Fabian Marozsan. Been making money on him in Challengers on Clay. Hes got a nice Clay game just curious to see it transform to the ATP level

    Happy for Petra. Sad for Elena. Hopefully she has this week off because she's played a shitload of matches lately.

    Portugal players showing out in qualies there. Rocha, Pedro Sousa and Ferreira SIlva all won yesterday. Rocha winning today, Ferreira Silva winning the 1st set against Ofner right now.

    Would be cool to see Pedro Sousa win today. Been around forever. Morgado said he was very emotional yesterday after he won

    Rocha will get 1 of the following once qualifiers are placed: Thiem, Fognini, Van Assche, Zapata Miralles

    No idea what to expect from his game on the clay. I think the forehand should still play but whether the serve still plays up is a question.

    Honestly thrilled for her. She looked miserable on court, glad she’s found some happiness in life away from tennis.

    Agree. Im happy she is finding peace and happiness. It was rough watching her.

    I wish Diego would go get a break now because it kills me just betting against him every match and winning

    Alcaraz hurt again and out for Monte Carlo. Becoming a pretty concerning trend.
