2024 ATP General News

[Moxie]

I read that Moxie, that USO will be faster this year? what did they re surface all the courts? I think the only way we will really know when the players have played on it, or if someone at TF goes to the USO.Cinncy to me has always been faster than the USO

No idea, just what I heard on TC. But they do adjust the surfaces, year to year sometimes.

They also do the same at the AO from time to time, I guess they have to with the wear and tear over the years

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sono Cosi Orgoglioso Di Te Jannik!

 

[Moxie]

Great win for Jannick! Another MS1000 for his cabinet, and he goes into the USO with the momentum.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik Sinner becomes the first Italian man in history to win the Cincinnati Open defeating Tiafoe 76(4) 62
Janniks first Cincinnati title

Well done to Frances, he has shown in this tournament really good play getting to the final, I hope he continues with this form and be more consistent going forward in his career!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Darren Cahill still has his bucket hat on, though today I will give him a free pass after Sinner's win

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik has won his 15th career ATP title from 19 finals. Equalling Alcaraz and Hewiit (19) only Rafa Nadal (17) has won more from his first 19 ATP event finals in the Open Era
Jannik improves to 15-4 life time in finals and 5-0 in finals in 2024

Wow, that's a great stat for Sinner.

Wow, that's a great stat for Sinner.

Not bad I will take it he really stepped up today, he struggled earlier in the tournament, not playing his best tennis and found a way to win, when he plays his best tennis he makes tennis look easy when its not, not many players have that gift, it reminds me of Federer, watching him live I was soo jealous he just glided around the court and made tennis look soo easy, God didnt gvie me those gifts at all, I think I stood on the wrong line in Heaven before I came down to earth

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good news for Frances he will now move into the Top 20 when the new rankings come out, after making the final at Cincinnati

Richard Gasquet just lost in 2nd R qualifying at the USO to a 19-year-old Lithuanian named Gaubas.

I saw they gave Gasquet a plaque honoring him when he was a 2013 SF at the USO after his loss by Stacy McAllasrer
It appears that Gasquet will announce his retirement from tennis

Novak Djokovic will travel to Argentina to play Juan Martin Del Potro in an exhibition match in December
