2022 ATP General News

This WTL doesn't seem to have a lot of crowds.. Events like this shows that if Rafa, Federer or the Williams Sisters show, it may be sold out. Too bad because the tennis has been good.

Thiem looks like he has regained that massive FH again. Praise God and Good for him... FAA was at the very top of his game..the AO 2023 will be maybe as up for grabs as Ever but Novak and Rafa should be slightly favorites.

I wasn't even aware these kinds of events still went on; last ones in Asia League! It confuses me when top players complain about a long tennis season, then go for money grabs to play all kinds of exhibitions grinning from ear to ear on how much fun they're having!

Well some of the players such as Sacha Z, Thiem , Pas and a few others needs the practice before AO..

Now that is the start of the Thiem I remember. He really led that deciding mixed doubles match.
