    Struff has to be the clubhouse leader in randomly watching him and wondering how the hell he isn’t a better player week to week.

    Based on what I’ve read that sounds right but it was potential for Alcaraz Murray and Djokovic on Sunday or Nadal on Monday. Either way will be my first high level pro tennis match and going for the cultural experience as much as anything.

    I will be more invested in this years early tournament as build up to my day there.

    Is Wimbledon the only major with line judges?

    He has a pretty easy walk through. Fognini next, but he's not been playing well at all.

    Van Rijthoven had a tight first set, I look again and he's absolutely obliterating Delbonis! Love it.

    Also, for our major visiting friends, read this on Van Rijthoven. Guy never won a ATP Tour match, becomes a wild card in grass tournament for lead up to Wimbledon, and he wins the fucking thing. SC Wendel and I caught him a few times through the run, just absolutely unreal.

    https://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_...medvedev-straight-sets-wins-libema-open-title

    Long story short, if you are looking for something to watch this week, if he is on, watch him.

    Yeah he started very slow. Delbonis I dont think has ever won a match on grass according to my stats lookup.

    But Van Riji has maybe the best dream draw for him possible.

    Opelka/Taberer and then Halys/Basiliashvili to face Djokovic.

    Wendel Clark, considering the fact that the Brits are dumb, I know we spoke about this before but if Van Rijthoven makes a run, does it even matter?

    Points wise?

    OH YEAH

    Mladenovic lost the first set to Kerber 0-6 in 17 minutes. Believe that’s called a Tomic.

    Bencic should have just lost the 2nd set instead of coming back the next day to play that final set like that.
