I don't have a good feeling about Jo-Wil being long for the tour, for sure. I noticed that Stan withdrew from Dubai and Miami citing "fatigue." Since he's only played 6 matches since, what, November? it's hard to imagine that he's that tired. Also true that Anderson hasn't played much in a while now. Well-spotted.

Fernando Verdasco last played in October and the man is now 37, wonder how long he's gong to continue.

Rafa announced on Twitter that he will not be playing Miami he wants to fully recover and prepare for the clay season.

I like the coy little "so far." Fair percentage of clay players in there. Plus, with no IW, it's not a shock that some would skip the US this winter.

There is still some talk of having IW scheduled for later this year? quite frankly I cannot see that happening.

October seems a good time of the year, weather is ideal for that area. As we speak, a lot of California counties ( including mine) are reclassifying into red category ( From purple) . Vaccinations are picking up speed around here, fingers crossed.

Good news.....IW is also on my bucket list of tennis tournaments,I have friends that have gone and say it is a great tournament to attend.

I am glad Thiem is not playing Miami he looked flat as a tack in his match against Harris No 81 who defeated him 63 64 in Dubai
Thiem is now 5-4 in 2021.or I could blame his new GF who is a German dancer/circus performer....

Sinner is now ranked #32 and obviously on the rise; the nice thing is now he gets in on all the top ATP tournament draws , no more Shapavolov's in the 1st rounds of Majors.

Yes,though I am looking at his schedule,I hope he does not over play,he did have a back problem a few weeks back.

The good news is he's only 19. The bad news is he's only 19.

IOW, being that young "overplaying" is probably a foreign concept to Sinner, reserved for the creaking senior citizens of the tour.

oh yeah..old vernando fiasco..(or mr horseface)..reminds me of old players like federer..but also feli lopez is still benefitting from his queens2019 winners points haul of 500pts.
