Shapo loses to Berrettini in straight sets in Stuttgart - I didn't see the entire match, but from what I did see Denis played okay. Matteo was having a excellent serving day and the forehand was working as well.

Rafa pulls out of Wimbledon and will likely never play it again. I've had such a love/hate relationship with Nadal on grass but I guess at the end of the day you win the greatest match of all time in the dark at Wimbledon it can't be all bad.

Shapo simply didn't make enough first serves - his numbers were woeful even for his standards.

All in all, he was right there with a terrific grass player so I am hopeful he will be able to give it a run at Wimbledon if he gets some luck with the draw.

Milos is looking okay physically against RBA but some of his returns and groundstrokes are just way off today.

Maybe it's rust but I don't like his body language and execution. He seems to be holding back and not really letting fly with his shots. The match is still there for the taking if he steps up and dictates.

And just like that Milos seems to have found some life to break RBA and looks poised to push this to a third set.

Milos breaks just before the 3rd set tie-break to send RBA packing. Great stuff from the big man!!

The turn-around in that match was something else. He looked tentative and off until halfway through the second set before putting the foot down and dictating the rest of the way.

He'll need to play like that to have a chance against DeMinaur in the QF.

Yeah, De Minaur is going to be very tough. Milos will need to have an excellent serving day and the Aussie will be tough to break, I could see two if not three tie-break sets in their match tomorrow.
