Zverev has a lot going on in his personal life at present I am certain this has affected him on the court as well.

I'm sure he made a commitment to play before he won Wimby and didn't want to disappoint by withdrawing

 

[tented]

I can’t wait for Isner to retire.

There. I said it.

Tell us what you really think, brother? Are we to take it you’ll miss him?

No! I just finished watching him play Tommy Paul at the Newport tournament, and was reminded how much I can’t stand him.

BTW Isner does have a shot at getting back inside the Top 100, I knew this news could make your day

I feel like we should start a thread: "Players I'd completely forgotten about."

Rublev just won a really tight match v. Dangerous Cerundolo, 7-6(6), 6-7(7), 6-3. Good match, what I saw. That's in Sweden, to play Ruud in the final. Ruud beat Musetti in the other semi.

Marin Cilic is in the draw ATP250 Umag tournament, his first start since January this year
Holger Rune has withdrawn citing a lower back injury.

18-year-old Alex Michelsen (US) beat Isner yesterday and will play Mannarino in the final today. I don't even think he's turned pro yet?

Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from Toronto Masters due to fatique
Chris Eubanks will now receive automatic entry to the main draw

 

[Moxie]

Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from Toronto Masters due to fatique

That's wise. He never needs much tune-up before a Major, anyway.

Chris Eubanks will now receive automatic entry to the main draw

I hope Chris has a good run in the N. Am. HC season.

I didnt expect Novak to play 2 Masters before USO, yes Chris has a good game for HC's
