2023 ATP General News

[MargaretMcAleer]

Explain to me why this inspires a laughing emoji? You're such a hypocrite. You wanted new blood, but when it actually threatens Djokovic, you're all giggles, if man is injured?

I posted that news yesterday as usual that poster ignores my posts typical ! Charly has 2 physical issues, gluteal muscle problem and inflammation of sole of his left foot, if that poster read my posts he might be able to keep up with the recent news, Any poster that posts 'giggles' regarding a player that is injured is just 'ignorant' as far as I am concerned, that poster just does that to get a reaction? regardless if you are a fan or not, though we all know he dosent want Charly to threaten Novak!.
In regards to Charly I hope he can heal these injuries before Paris Masters and the ATP finals in Turin.

I posted that news yesterday try to read my posts and you will keep up with the recent news lol!
He has 2 physical issues are he has a gluteal problem and also inflammation of sole of his left foot now you are up to date with yesterdays news

He doesn't care that you already posted it, and frankly it doesn't matter. People miss posts, and there's no sin in posting news that has already been posted. He didn't intend to break news, he only wanted to gloat over a player's injury who was threatening his Precious for the YE #1.

Well he does that on a regular basis with my on posts both on the ATP and WTA btw, so it is not a 'one off', as I said in my post to you he wanted a reaction and he got one, to gloat over a players injury who is threatening his Novak is 'ignorant' as far as I am concerned and not a tennis fan at all.

[MargaretMcAleer]

Watching the QF match between Monfils v Mannarino, in Stockholm, Gael was down a break in the 1st set, broke back to win 75, playing well against a 'in form player in Mannarino, Gael up a break in the 2nd set leads 4-2, oh spoke too soon Gael DFs and hands the break back to Mannarino back on serve in the 2nd set.
Well done to Gael Monfils he hasnt been able to play a full tour this year and he is into his first SF defeating Mannarino 75 76(3) showing some Monfils 'magic' in this match

MM have you noticed Gael has been able to play in front of a large audience over the past 4 months.. I think most fans has him in their top 5 of players to watch these days on the ATP tour

I agree Gael does get bums on seats when he is playing, some of his shots are just 'sic' at times, also he is a very affable person, a real entertainer, shame he has suffered some injuries that have seen him having to take time off the tour for long periods., he said this could be his last year of playing, I guess we shall see if that happens.

Amazing how Japan & Stockholm have lost all their seeded players by the SFs! The European's held onto Tsitsipas & 2 others, but the SF's & finals of the other 2 events might have lame conclusions w/ no stars since Qualifiers, WC's, and "no-names" have made it thru so far!

First SF about to start soon Carlos Bernades is the umpire and has arrived on court in Tokyo
Ben Shelton vs Marcos Giron

 

[Fiero425]

Shelton got cocky early getting up a Brk. & serving for the 1st set! He allowed Garin to get back in it who stole the set in the TB quite easily!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ben Shelton takes the 2nd set 76(5) against Marcos Giron, he was down 2-5, 2 points from going home, he was also 2-4 down in the TB, great come back going 3 sets

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done to my rising star and phone expert Ben Shelton, into his first ATP final! defeating Marcos Giron 67(2) 76(5) 64
Ben came back from 2-5 in set No 2 was 2 points from losing
But he shifted the reality of the match
Ben has won 12 of his last 14 matches
Well done Ben!
