It's a shame when a young ATP player CAN'T escape the legend of the WTA WORM.. that dude conquer my Miss Swiss Miss too. I'm still in therapy jajaja

Really! Colonel Hingus daughter?

Draper has a good all round game, though his body breaks down, he really needs to get a top trainer, as he wont go far withdrawing from tournaments
Jack has made the final at Sofia will play Mannarino, 2 lefties

Yep. Another favorite of mine Ugo Humbert will be playing the final of the Moselle Open - I guess it’s his hometown? He completely neutralized Fognini in the semifinal 6-0, 6-2. He may have had some nerves at the beginning, but he didn‘t show it. He’s another guy that’s oft injured. What is it with lefties??

No idea, I honestly feel it comes down to the body composite of a player, left or right handed, being left handed they do have an advantage of natural spin and can strategically serve wide to a right's bhand during crucial points, for example, clay and grass do add variables to the their game.( btw I am a proud lefty)

Adrian Mannarino continues his good 2023 season at 35 yo winning a 3rd title of the year in Sofia, defeating Jack Draper 76(6) 26 63
Draper is going to the DC Finals with very high levels of confidence.

Did you watch the match? Ugo totally had his game face on.. Went out there and played his match. Hoping he has a breakout year next year and remains injury free. (Wish the same for Jack Draper)

Meanwhile Ugo’s hometown had a band playing old songs in between changeovers. It was like whiplash between modern day tennis and a movie from the 1950’s!!

Yes I watched the match, 2 Frenchman winning titles, good to see Mannarino winning as well, he has had a steady year. Ugo has a good game, so hopefully 2024 he can continue, he caps off the year being in the Top 20 as from Monday and the No 1 Frenchman!

Not great news for GRB Davis Cup team, another player is out with injury, Andy Murray has suffered a minor shoulder injury in practice earlier this week and wont be fit in time for Thursday's QF match against Serbia.
News just in Liam Brody will replace Murray.
