Alcaraz will serve for the match again at 6-5
Alcaraz wins 60 62 75, a little blip when first serving for the match, though Cobilli played the game of his life to break the serve of Alcaraz

Huh? Did someone actually pick Fils to win the FO?
Anyhow, I don't see him as over hyped, though I don't watch the tennis channel so don't know what they're saying. But he's definitely a talented young player with a lot of potential, and there are inklings of him starting to make a move. I see him as at least a future 2nd tier type. Hard to predict beyond that until we see him reach peak form.
His main problem is that he's French.
Why there you have it why your guy Felix AA can’t push through, he’s FRENCH Canadian, just a variety of the Gallic Genus. ; )

Don Fabio,
I see my selection of Struff winning his section was wrong lol! Struff got Stuffed by Lehecka in 5 sets
I should have stayed with Jarry

Fils reached a career high when he won the tournament the other day he is now ranked No 63 not bad for the youngster
Also the youngest French ATP champion since Gael Monfils who won a tournament back in 2005

Speaking of young French studs, Van Assche tore Cecchinato a new one. 6-1, 6-1, 6-3.

FAA truly is wasting his time going to Paris! It's a ridiculous exercise for him to even think he could get thru 2 matches there much less 7!

FAA is going to take a couple week break, heal up, and then win Wimbledon.
Mark my words.

It was a tricky 1st round match and smelled like trouble for Struff. He plays better as an underdog.

Agree, I picked Struff going on his good form of late and his best results in a major have come at RG,

He is playing well and probably likes his chances in a part of the draw without Alcaraz and Djokovic. He lost against Rafa I think 2 times in RG, so he doesn't need to worry about that either this year.

Well I expect him to win this match he is now up 4-0 in the 3rd set, he has been having physical problems of late, that is why at RG I dont think he will go deep, though he could surprise me lol!

I did see him lurking there, but I figured he was too young too go through. Good for him! Allez les Bleus!

The French deserve the razzing that they get, but I do think Fils could be a bit of the real deal. He doesn't play like a Frenchman, if you know what I mean? Pretty willing to be aggressive, from what I've seen.
On top of that, he's Canadian...too nice. Gonna be hard to unearth a killer instinct from under all of that French ennui and Canadian cordiality.

I want to know who hacked my draw and picked Fills over Davidovich Fokina. I swear it wasn't me, and I demand a recount!

But yeah, I have a good feeling about Fils.
Have you seen Van Assche play? I haven't, but am curious what sort of game he has and if he should be considered in the same category as Fils.
