    Hard not to say Roger. If that’s too easy Delpo.

    woman, again easy just because of her level and what it would bring to their side. Barty.

    Boring but that would be best viewing for me personally.

    Non-Roger and Delpo, it’s Monfils.

    Non-Barty, probably Cibulkova.

    Just a masterful tournament from Krejcikova. Beating 5 Top 15 players in a Row. Kastkina, Kvitova, Sabalenka, Pegula, Swiatek

    Unreal

    Great win for Daniil, and a good performance in a loss for Andy.

    I honestly turned it off when Norrie got broken and Carlos consolidated in the 2nd to go up 3-0. Norrie was complaining to the ump about the clay. Thought he might get bageled

    Damn Brandon Holt couldn't get out of his own head.

    Was up 6-4 4-3 with Taro Daniel serving. He missed 2 break points for Daniel to hold Serve and than Daniel won 8 straight games to win 4-6 6-4 6-0

    Shelton and Rune are pairing up for doubles at IW, so them playing in singles should be interesting

    I think Lehecka has arrive fully. He absolutely destroys the ball as well. Think he can make a run to the Top 20 by the end of the year

    He is seemingly dealing with some mental issues after the demoralizer vs Murray.

    the talent is there to be top 20, no doubt. But the consistency which was behind his rise early in the year seems to be shaky at best now.

    Jiri needs to hit up the sports psychologist asap. These last two losses would be haunting.


    But good for Zverev. Wouldn’t mind seeing him make a run in Dubai

    And I don’t know what to do with my hands with all these men’s matches.

    Rune/Shelton
    Eubanks/Grandpa Feliciano
