I believe that is Ruud first final on a HC.

I believe that is Ruud first final on a HC.

I think with all of his spin, he's been considered a clay man. So...Ruud v Norrie for the final. That's rather unexpected.

Ruud has most of his ATP points on clay,good to see he can also play on a HC

I hope that's true. Del Potro dragged it out for ages saying he didn't need wrist surgery, until he did.

I don't think Dominic's injured wrist is at the level of JMDP but you're correct..error on the side of caution

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I think Dominic has been exercising caution which is why he has sat out most of the year. I’m hoping he can find good form by the French. I definitely want to see him holding up that slam trophy again.

Question. What is the criteria for being eligible for the tennis Hall of Fame?

I believe first ballot inductees have won at least 3 slams and had a stint at #1. Others have to wait awhile, but will likely get in at some point.

EDIT: I went back and looked it up here . It's quite detailed
