Ouch. You beat me to it. Was just about to mention Benneteau. Awful shame he never won a single title in his career.

Yeah, he's had some very good results on grass. Interested to see him at Wimbledon this year.

That's a darn Shame...I didn't get to see the match but I would assume that Felix still has a mental block with dealing with his nerves on championship Sunday..I hope he Gets a Sports psychologist to help him going further.

AP I have been saying that for sometime now,Felix is too good a player,he does need the help of a sports psychologist,many players on the tour have,,getting them over the line in matches.Losing his eight final,time to seek help in my opinion.

Good luck with that, Andy...

Hey Front, who knows. It starts with belief. If he doesn't believe it no one else will.

Not giving him grief for hope but it's just completely unrealistic after hip surgery. I want to win the lottery but I don't even do it anymore so...

But of course he'd like both but he knows it's only a day dream and the comment isn't to be taken seriously.

Has any player come back from hip surgery won anything substantial?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Hewitt recovered from hip surgery very well, although he did not win anything big after that.

 

[Front242]

Has any player come back from hip surgery won anything substantial?

To the best of my knowledge that's a resounding no. Hewitt and Kuerten were pale imitations of their former selves afterwards.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Stefanos Tsitsipas has withdrawn from singles and doubles at Halle ATP500 due to personal reasons.
In singles he will be replaced by LL Y.Hanfmann.In doubles Y.Hanfmann.D.Koepfor in doubles.

Poor Dominic doesn't even know which tournament to play anymore, his schedule seems non existent. Not that he has any chance on grass anyway.

Well maybe he can be Novak's doubles partner? Novak is going to play doubles only in Mallorca Championships next week.

Dominic is being stupid. Given that he lost in the first round of RG, he has no reason to wait until the week before Wimbledon to get match practice on grass. He should have entered in Queens (even if he did not enter originally, they would be happy to give him WC) which is a 500 event and at the same time field is very weak, not to mention he will already be in England.

I am not a fan of Dominic saying he is 'stupid' is a tad too harsh.Quite frankly I think he still has 'issues' not only in his game but focus as well,going out in the 1st RD of his fav surface clay at RG is a telling factor for him,to me he has not been the same player since the ATP finals last year.Playing in an ATP250 tournament, in Mallorca might be the correct decision for him at present.
BTW Mallorca is a short flight to London,a lot of Londoner's escape the horrid winter conditions to Mallorca for their holiday's or a weekend,my daughter is one.
