Let me think about it lol!

Dutch language is torturing my ears.

Alex so far always the bridesmaid at Rotterdam, keep plugging away Alex, maybe next year
Good to see your new ranking of No 6!

My problem was that the jacket is a half-size too small. Face it, Richard...you're not at your playing weight.

I haven't seen hi-water or floods (as we used to call em) since school.. You could always tell the kids who got new clothes on the first day of school and the ones who had to wear stuff from last year. They had outgrown those pants and would always be floods.

Now young folks pay money to buy and wear that kind of pants.

Alcaraz has now won ATP500 events on indoor hard, outdoor hard, clay and grass!
Making him the youngest man to win a title on every type of court!

 

[kskate2]

so the 500 box set. That's nice. Now he needs to knuckle down and do the sunshine doub.

His new service action is still evolving, he is also working on his return game, he has the ability to do the Sunshine double.

It requires immense focus and not extending matches unnecessarily w/a blitz mentality. I hope he does it. He has alot of points to defend the first half of the season. He needs to get the kinks in his game worked out before then.

Agree, lets see how he fares in Doha, where the competition will be harder

Daniil Medvedev has taken a wild card into ATP250 Marseille Open, which begins on Monday

Lucas Pouille confirms that he suffered a complete rupture of his Achilles tendon today in the Lille final.
Going in for surgery in the next few days and will do everything to come back ( via Lucas IG)

Sorry, but those aren't really high. They're in. But a bad look with the slightly too-small jacket.

So...who do we like, Shapo or Ruud?

Ruud I am not a fan of Shapo

I may be superficial enough to go with style over substance, (or, at least reliability, and the far nicer guy.) Shapovalov sure is more fun to watch, at least when he plays like this. And it's only been about 5 years since he has.

Shapo is his own worst enemy, drama queen, carries on like a 2 year old, fiery temper,, also has a sense of entitlement
Point being it has been 5 years when he has played like he has in the Dallas tournament,
Question is can he keep this playing level up for the rest of the year?

 

[El Dude]

Well, a revived Shapo makes things interesting. Looks like FAA is getting back on track, as well.

2025: Canada Strikes Back.

Early days with Shapo, can he keep this playing level up? remains to be seen for the rest of the year

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Shapo wins his biggest title to date winning ATP500 in Dallas defeating 3 Top Ten players along the way
Shapo will be ranked #32 tomorrow when the new rankings are out, this time last year he was ranked #127
