2018 ATP General News

Lol AP. His left bicep is still big (for a tennis player) but his shoulders (front and side delts) have lost a ton of size. He's probably hoping to lure Roger into a sense of bad memories. Gotta try something new I guess.

lmaoo

It's astonishing how you keep that all catalogued. One might almost think you were obsessed.

Rafa mostly trains in sleeveless shirts. Do we know for sure he's providing the gun show at the AO? (Can't pretend I don't hope so.)

Rafa lost to Gasquet in straights in Kooyong Classic. Apparently, knee is fine, but he is rusty due to lack of good practice.

There’s a link that you can post that speaks to this..we all know Fronty is smitten by Rafa’s biceps size

It looks like Nishikori is playing the Newport Challenger.

 

[Front242]

Was disappointed seeing Gulbis and Robredo playing challengers while the AO was on too. Both missed.

He did and lost on the opening round to an American, Denis Novikov.

Did anyone else notice that there is a new 250, the New York Open? Indoor HC. On Long Island.

OH no, I totally missed it. It is replacing what? I never saw any announcement of this before.

Good news for Rafa and Nadalites. I don't know the details. But, the injury is fairly minor and it should be cured within three weeks.
Rafa will be ready for action in Acapulco which is the next tournament he was planning to play anyway independent of injury.

Yep, good on Rafa. Let's moan about the hardcourts causing injury and then return for a meaningless non-mandatory in Acapulco on hardcourts.

I guess Manacor's bull will be more and more injured because his body has been damaged for a long time with his stakhanovist's style and pace....not a good manner to protect his body to play Barcelona for ex...incle Toni tried several times to tell him to slow down but he refused, now his body pays the price for that. hard courts have nothing to do with that imo, he played the essential of his career on clay

I found this article. They've moved the Memphis Open to Long Island.

Nishikori won Dallas's challenger, congrats to him

injured Krygios out of Acapulco
Zverev fired Ferrero wonder who'll be his next coach

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Rafa starts against Deliciano in Acapulco and possibly might exit right there. If not, he meets SQ in 3rd round (to whom he lost there in finals last year).

I guess it's time to start the threads for this week.

 

[Andy22]

Nadal well at least make the final this week, can not see him losing any of these players, Nadal most likely wins the event.

 

[isabelle]

Stan, Tsonga, Gasquet pulled out of IW

 

[GameSetAndMath]

March 19th was the deadline to register for Monte-Carlo. All but 7 of the top 20 players have registered. The missing ones are
Federer, Del Potro, Anderson, Nick and (not surprisingly) the Americans Jack Sock, Sam Querry and John Isner.
