Jo will get his turn. PHM has been retired longer.

That's the biggest regret I have as a tennis fan that Jo WillieTs didn't win a grand slam..he had one grand slam final against you know who SMH2. I hope he makes it to the HOF but I doubt it

Some of these adjusted rules for this competition are confusing, I need to go and read them all lol!
Also why cant these players, play full sets? they are not kiddies and are used to playing full sets on the ATP tour and there are no warm ups either

I think the warm up thing is new this year. They went to a shorter scoring format because while this is similar to the ATP Finals, it should not be confused w/. I believe the ATP wanted some clear distinctive separation

I think players would want a warm up, just my thoughts, change ends after each set as well, also there arent many fans in the stadium at all

Agreed. Not sure why they went away from the warmup. Apparently they can warmup on a practice court right before, just not on the main court. Arthur was saying he warmed up w/ his coach and that when he arrived on court he was warm and ready to go.

I'd rather see 6-game no-AD format, instead of this 4-game format.

Cobolli a mystery player to me defeated Stricker (3) , said the courts were very fast, Stricker to me looks unfit, (chubby) needs to address this for 2024.

he's been like this all year. It's why he pulls the trigger so quickly. He has no confidence in his rally tolerance.

This was a fun match and probably my favorite of today's matches, though there is one match left currently in play,
L.Van Assche (2) vs WC A.Shelbayh who has been at Rafa Nadal's tennis academy in Spain, he is a lefty, fast around the court a lot of variety in his game, though his down fall in this match was his UFE count and he only converted 2/17 BPs, Van Assche defeated him in 4 sets.

Last match of the day Hamad Medjedovic getting an incredible tough 5 set win over Alex Michelsen 42 43 34 34 43
