2023 ATP General News

[Moxie]

No idea but for a British player he can play on clay that is certain, though I cant stand his service motion lol!

I mentioned to someone the other day...he has his highest win pct. on clay. Surprising, but there it is.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Guaranteed he won't. Nor probably that exhibition in Las Vegas.

They will find another player like they had to do when Rafa withdrew no worries there

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

News just in, Alcaraz will still decide on Acapulco with his team, confirms it is the same problem ( injury) that made him miss the AO, which is not ideal.

This is always a concern with nascent talent. Along with all the promise, determination and early success comes the questions as to whether they will have a relatively healthy career or one prone to injury. Hopefully this is just a blip on the radar.

Just read he will travel to Acapulco, still pretends to play? he had the trainer out in the final and also in the s/final regarding his leg, I hope he is making the right decision

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Injury news updates,

Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn from IW/Miami he has not recovered from knee surgery, still intends to play on the clay this year? I will believe that when he does

Andy Murray withdrawn from Dubai....after a tough week in Doha

Alcaraz will travel to Acapulo, still pretends to play.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Seb Korda, David Goffin, Benjamin Bonzi have all withdrawn from IW, Seb's injury a concern, his wrist problems from the AO appear not to be healed
IN: Monteiro, Kubler, Otte.

 

[kskate2]

There will be no slam champs competing in Aca when Carlito withdraws. Why did they all go to Dubai?

Young people tend to think they’re invincible. I imagine his team is on top of this and doing their best to make sure he keeps his eyes on the long game.

For duty free shopping it is great I can testify

It’s a far better tournament.

Yes they are, I mean some of his shots he was doing in the final yesterday were on 'one leg' in the 3rd set

 

[nehmeth]

Zverev beat Lehecka in three. ‍ Neither of them should have had to face the other in the first round.

Watched a bit of that match, Berdych was in the stands watching Lehecka, Sasha won in 3, though played well in patches

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alcaraz said his first rd match is against McDonald on Tuesday, and will do everything to recover and wants to play.But it's something he'll have to evaluate with his physio and doctor.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Seb Korda is targeting Miami for return.Korda has been able to do a 'very solid fitness block' in his time sidelined, his team says.

Awww. What's wrong w/ Aca?

I must be missing something! What? Dubai has Novak and Medvedev, but the stronger draw/seeds is definitely in Acapulco! Aca also got the HOTTIES in Rune, Shapo, Ruud, & Shelton!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just starting to watch my rising youngster Ben Shelton against Rune in Acapulco
