Pretty interesting field with 3 of the nextgen starlets heading it up. Will be interested to see how Tsitsipas bounces back after the shellacking he got from Nadal in Melbourne.

I agree, so Stan is playing.

 

[herios]

where is Grigor ??

He stated back in December, that he decided not to play in Sofia.

I agree, so Stan is playing.

Stan's gone already.

1st Round ..
Matteo Berrettini (ITA) beat Denis Istomin (UZB) 6-4 7-6(7)
Yannick Maden (GER) beat Adrian Mannarino (FRA) 6-4 7-6(4)
Daniel Brands (GER) beat 5-Nikoloz Basilashvili 7-6(7) 7-5
Robin Haase (NED) beat Dimitar Kuzmanov (BUL) 6-2 6-4
7-Gael Monfils (FRA) beat Viktor Troicki (SRB) 6-3 6-4
Jan-Lennard Struff (GER) beat Stefano Travaglia (ITA) 6-4 6-3

Basilashvili being a minor casualty. The top four seeds in action today I believe.

 

[herios]

Top seed, Khachanov was beaten by Berrettini. The Italian is an interesting case, you g like Khachanov and also tall as him.

Curious result. It looked very close, by the scores. History says Berrettini is better on clay, but this is HC, and KK should have won. Funny. Anyone see?

 

[isabelle]

bad result for Karen

 

[Andy22]

S.TIPSATIPIS will win this event no doubt about it definitely wins a slam in 2021, he far better than A.Zverev.

He will not. He lost today in the QF to Monfils. RBA withdrew and did not play the QF.
Now Medvedev is the highest seed left.

wot no tsits ?. gurufils gaveth a lesson, it is known.

 

[Andy22]

He will not. He lost today in the QF to Monfils. RBA withdrew and did not play the QF.

Yes I was dead wrong about this one monfils is still a good player at times, glad he won so good to watch he's matches.

 

[mrzz]

Medvedev will end the year in the top 6 at least.

 

[herios]

Medvedev will end the year in the top 6 at least.

We shall see. That would be very interesting if he would leap over
Khachanov, Tsitsipas and Coric.

 

[herios]

Fucsovics makes his second career final, by beating Berrettini

 

[herios]

Medvedev beat Monfils in 2 sets.
It will be a good final between him and Fucsovics

 

[Carol]

Tsitsipas has to learn to have more control of himself
