Winston-Salem Open, ATP 250

Paire beat Umbert

teefs has taken the djokovic2016usopen route to winning..his opponent retires for a 2nd consecutive match.

Looks like they’re playing twice (QF and SF) today

Paire vs Steve Johnson in one SF

Shapovalov vs Tiafoe or Hurkacz in the other

It pisses me off even more that Shapo is finding some sort of form and him or FAA has to lose in the first round of the Open...Darn...

Blame it on Denis, he played poorly for a big chunk of the season, thus fell out of the top 32. By being unseeded, he could have been drawn anywhere. Anyway, I hope at least he makes his first final of an event, tonight.
He will play Hurkacz, who just beat Tiafoe.

100% ! Both should have been seeded. Shapo had a horrible year.

Goodness me, Paire defeated Johnson with 1-6, 6-0, 6-0

Goodness me, Paire defeated Johnson with 1-6, 6-0, 6-0

………...and somebody wanted to ban him from being seeded #1 in this tourney.

 

[isabelle]

will the hipster win that ?

Hurkacz defeated yesterday two fellow next. gen players, Tiafoe and Shapo to make his first final.
He did not arrive on the scene as early as them, bit now he looks to have as much poise and perspective. The title is up for grabs. Could go either way IMO

Who’s watching? Never paid much attention to any Hurkacz matches until today

I saw him play Djoke earlier this year. He's coming on. He's got alot of variety. He just has to force himself to be aggressive and not get lulled into pushing. Pretty good serve and topspin on his groundies so he can stay relevant in the rallies. I'm happy for him. He gets his first title, but a quick turnaround as he has to play Chardy on Mon.

Very good result for Hurkacz. He put himself on the map.
