2021 ATP General News

Olympic games are all about unity of all competitors. They hang around, make friends, that's the spirit of the games. Now all this will be killed with strict protocols so I am for the cancellation of the games. It makes no sense to go like this, the only pity is all those sportmen competing beacuse it means so much for them in low pay sports like judo or something. I even think the results in general will be poor compared to previous games, things like records in athletics, swimming, etc..

Just watching Lyon SF Tsitsipas - Musetti (while I still can, soon no more live tennis for me next few months). Stadium is filled nicely, I wonder how many spectators will be allowed in Paris.

My TV is showing Coco Gauff. I was hoping to see more off Musetti - Tsitsipas than I have. It looks like Stefanos has turned it around. Kid running out of gas?

Tsitsipas raised his level, but Musetti at this age has very high peak when he plays good and that was situation in first set, but when he drops his level it can go very low as well. I am sure he will get better in balancing this, he has potential this kid. Btw I am watching the stream.

Ruud v. Shapo is a tight affair, but Shapo makes the odd sloppy mistake too many.

Reading news that Dennis Shapovalov has withdrawn from Roland Garos,trying to get more information as to why? maybe picked up an injury in the Geneva final.
Next player in: Uchiyama.

Even losing he looked well in the last match but I suppose he has some kind of injured.

Even a French tennis journalist I follow is stunned by the news,she also said he looked okay in the Geneva final,no word as yet on his Twitter page either.

It’s not really a surprise that Shapovalov has withdrawn since everyone knows that Nadal will win RG. I expect more players to withdraw and not waste their time.

We'll see because he looked happy playing on clay and also said that in Roma he played as the same level as Nadal which I think it sounds a little bit exaggerated but at least he took surprisingly the first set though Rafa wasn't played so great, he did much better the next matches

Yeah seeing he had Rafa on the ropes in Roma?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Denis Shapovalov's withdrawal mean Karatsev moves into 17-24 seeding range,avoiding Top 8 seeds in the 3RD.

Exactly and still couldn’t do it…

He did have Rafa on the ropes....Rafa did survive

Well, remember that even if they can't reach the second week or knowing that they are not going to win the tournament anyway they make a good money , ask to the crazy guy Paire, and I think Shapo has a lo more motivation and is more profesional than the french
