That being said El Dude..Do you see a little of Holger Rune abilities in Ben? Trust me Ben's game is no where as mature as Holger game but he reminds me of him somewhat.
To be honest, I haven't really watched much of Shelton, only a clip or too. My only real impression is that he might have a bit of the x-factor -- a quality of...non-tentativeness? Like he thinks he can win, which is a huge part of the puzzle.

It would appear that he could be a guy who could battle Carlos as the years go by, like Sinner and perhaps Rune. Novak likely only has a year or two--family life will be tugging and he already owns all of the major records by quite a ways now. If he wins one or two more he will move on into retirement me thinks. He is a warrior. This young man does feel like someone who has the will to fight and that is key.

Oh in fairness I think there’s only one real Frances fan here, the rest of us like him but don’t rate him so highly. I think he’s very honest in his effort, more than a lot of players, but limited too, which isn’t due to laziness or anything. He’s a great example for kids..
I think he has a great personality, he seems like a nice chap, I was only pointing out what I feel about him as a tennis player and his ability on court that is all

Hair Dude has come out firing especially on serve
I feel Meddy even at this stage of the tournament hasnt played well, being a HC specialist

I'm telling you good folks..to watch Meddy operate on the court is a thing of beauty..a real pure striker of the ball...if he can harness his mental emotions during the match..he can get back to The competitive level with Carlos and Novak IMO

Without me having to trawl through the whole world to find out, is it true that the fan thrown out of the Zverev match sang Deutchland Uber Alles?

The night matches Meddy played he really lost his focus, lets see if he can maintain it in the day time, I like him and I love his sense of humor
