2023 ATP General News

Looks as if after Murray's serve broken, they've decided to go over and show Coco's match in Berlin! Vera Zvonareva still chugging along, but defeated by Sabalenka! Sascha eliminated Thiem in straight setrs! Jabeur upset!

I have already posted that Jabeur defending champion has been defeated, Niemeier is quite dangerous on grass BTW? which belongs on the WTA post BTW, as if Vera would upset Sabalenka, you really need to watch the womens game lol!

Murray looks tired to me, there goes his chance of a seeding at Wimbledon

 

[lomaha]

Little Holger won his first ever main tour grasscourt match over the always dangerous on grass Maxime “I will volley” Cressy 7-6(4) 76(3) in London.

The Danish Angel had to hit about a thousand passing shots which is par for the course when playing Cressy on grass. Maxime won Newport on grass last year and lost to Frtitz at the Eastbourne finals in a 3rd set TB so not the best first round opponent to face. Cressy is definitely one of those dangerous S-V floaters the first week of Wimbledon nobody wants on their part of the draw.

The Danish Angel apparently have been suffering some backpain, so he has had to change his serve a bit. So he can't get as much kick in it going forwards.

But he hope's it will benefit him in the long run.
And first win on grass as a senior!

Alex De Minaur ends Muray 10 match winning streak on grass ( challenger level) 63 61, Murray probably played too much in the last 14 days, wont be seeded for Wimbledon.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kei Nishikori will play challenger Bloomfield ( July 3) and Chicago ( July 10). Kei has also requested WCs to ATP Alanta and ATP Washington

FAA has taken a WC for the Mallorca Open next week before Wimbledon, the week after, ( his left knee still seems to be bugging him the reason he withdrew from Halle), strange he took the WC if he's still not 100%

I think one of the most impressive things about Novak's record breaking 23rd slam is the cheerleading reactions of both Rafa and Roger. True sportsmanship and appreciation for a fellow member of the Big 3 who's achieving things that they both understand so well:

Halle Tourney:
Jarry wins the tiebreak 9-7. Some scintillating stuff. Nice to see Stefanos not losing because of his own misadventures. Jarry took it.

Halle Tourney…
Jarry is having a rather easy go in his service games. At the same time he’s making some incredible returns that have put Stef in some deficits on his serve.

There was some mess in that TB, but Jarry pulled it out. Commentators yesterday suggested that this could be a tough match for Steph, and so it is proving to be. He may not come through.

I’m picking Jarry to win actually. He’s had an excellent clay season and his game translates well to turf. I really hope Stefanos will part ways with his father and get a real coach.

Good luck with that thought I cant see Stef parts ways with his dad, they are joined at the hip lol!, I just tuned into this game, agree Jarry had a good clay season and his game translates well on grass

Well your prediction of Jarry to win came true, won in SS over Stef 76 (7) 75 well done!

 

[nehmeth]

Nice performance for Jarry.

Makes the QFs in Halle!

It's Roger Federer Day in Halle. He was there and got some sort of award, it seems.

Fabio Fognini is at risk of a ban due to missing doping test. For a test in May, Fabio provided screen shots showing that there were issues with WADA's website, but WADA rejected his evidence. He will miss Wimbledon unless this is resolved. ( source The Tennis Letter)

Queens Club:

Tsitsi has Badosa's minge on his mind lately, he ain't going to win much until he cools off a bit.
