What a Story!

33 year old Matija Pecotic, who has a full time job as the Director of Capitol Markets for a real estate investment company, beats former top 10 Jack Sock 46 62 62 for his first career ATP win. ( Delray Beach Open ) Already had a couple of great wins in qualifying.
Story of the week! The guy is just playing tennis as a hobby now. He was close to top 200 at the age of 25, but then injuries started...I've never heard of him to be honest. Let's see how he does against Giron.

Quite frankly Don I cant see him getting past Giron? though I might be wrong, anyway he does have a full time job to go back to if this run at Delray Beach ends, yes I was reading his story maybe injuries did get in his way, and decided that tennis wasnt go to be his full time career.It is kind of a fairy tale for him at present.

In Rottadam Jannik Sinner had a 'walkabout' in the 2nd set against Bonzi 62 36 61, he can't afford to do that in his next match against top seed Tsitsipas.

Please that is a minor thing to give way to whites? are you serious lol! I never thought I would see the day when coaching from the stands is allowed both the WTA and now the ATP, it is a sad day for tennis quite frankly.at all the GS slams, what is next changing the best of 5 to the best of 3 at GS? there are many people trying to push that argument by the way.
Probably men who like to identify as women allowed play WTA the way the world is going..

As I thought Marcos Giron has ended the 'fairy tale' run of Q Matija Pecotic in straight sets 63 63 at the Delray Beach tournament

Full crowed in Buenos Aires to watch the return of Carlos Alcaraz , Carlos won the 1st set 62, though his level dropped in the 2nd set, especially his serve, paid the price, Djere wins 64, going onto a 3rd set now.

After almost 4 months off the tour Carlos Alcaraz defeated Laslo Djere 62 46 62, looked good, despite the good challenge from the Serb is into the QFs at Buenos Aires., where he will play Dusan Lojovic next.
