Denis drops the opening set in a tie-breaker (7-1 was the tie-breaker score). He had some break points opportunities in the opening set, but couldn't capitalize on any of them.

What’s going on with him. So inconsistent.

Struff did beat Denis earlier this year in Monte Carlo, so it really shouldn't be considered that much of an upset especially on clay. Thankfully, clay season is almost over and we can all move on to grass and hard court.

Bianca has forced a 3rd and deciding set against Marie Bouzkova - Bianca lost the first set 7-5, but bounced back to take set 2 6-4. Not watching unfortunately, but hearing that this has been a terrific match.

It was a pretty crazy 2nd set, as there was 9 straight breaks of serve until Bianca held to take the 2nd set. The match is suspended due to darkness will start again tomorrow (hopefully).

Millman gave Zverev all he could handle today, but Sascha survives in five sets.

Tomic is just such a wanker. On match point, his serve is called out and Fritz returns it for a clean winner. Tomic thinks his serve is in and that the match is over, the umpire tells him to continue. The post-match presser was bizarre as well.

Yes, Struff is just far more able to construct his points than Shapo. Especially on the clay. This would be an upset on grass, hardcourt though for sure. This clay swing is just too brutally long for players and fans. It would be nice if they would cut a few events in the future and have the grass season start this week.

I'm not a fan of clay, so I'd be in for that. But Shapo's struggles aren't just surface based. He just doesn't show up for some tourneys. I don't think it's a lack of work effort or preparation either, so I really don't get it.

The day him and fellow dbag Kyprios are booted off the tour, the better it is for tennis.

There's not enough clay events IMO. There are 9 Masters 1000 events and only 3 are on clay and only one out of the 4 Grand Slams are on clay. There is way too much hard court, take away some of those events and add more grass. Would also help players knees.

More clay is a great way to lose more fans. People want action, not grindfests and negative tennis.
