That's just gonna be a quick money grab for attendance fee. Nick isn't in any type of ATP conditioning..I guarantee he will loose his first match..

ATP 1000 tourneys are not allowed to give participation fee for any player. Only ATP 500 and ATP 250 are allowed to dole out participation fee.

That rule didn't stop some "under the table" moneys changing hands! It just about ruined G. Vilas who was suspended! Graf was even caught up in some mess thru her father who went to jail! Hard to believe the elites would even be involved with this sort of thing with all they have! What's $250,000 to a MILLION $$ to them really?

Saw the last game! Kei's going to have a sleepless night being up 30-L on serve and didn't get to that TB and put the pressure on McDonald!

I thought Kei would win the match,Mckenzie held tough and deserved to win and make the final

Just home from a weekend away, and cable messed up, but I saw by scores Sinner was serving for the title in DC, 5-4, then he got broken. Now it's 6-5 Sinner...heading for TB? Anyone see any of this final?

 

[Moxie]

I managed to watch the last game, and Sinner broke to win 7-5, 4-6, 7-5. Commies said that he's the first teenager ever to win a 500. is this a technicality? Rafa won Barcelona for the first time in 2005, at 18. Possibly it was "Gold Series" at the time?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I watched the 2nd set before I had to go out,McKenzie really pushed Jannik,apparently McKenzie was down 2-5 in the final set before Jannik broke and won the third set 75

First teenager to win ATP500 since Del Potro in 2008.Sinner will rise to No 15 in the rankings with this win.

ATP 500 series began in 2009......2000-2009.....under a different name....Gold Series I will have to check later,I am watching a womens final

So, in any case, they are wrong that he's the first teenager to win an ATP500. Still, terrific title for the young Sinner. His 3rd, they said.

Still can't believe how FAA got completely ambushed and out played by Brooksby. SMH2...that guy serves 79 mph 2nd serves

Stan Wawrinka has withdrawn from the USO,I would not be surprised if he retires this year,he has had numerous injury problems.,retirement is just around the corner I feel.
Andy Murray has moved into the main draw of the USO with Wawrinka's withdrawal.
