Clay will embrace ELC starting in 2025 thus we can hopefully eliminate the terrible officiating (at least as far as line calls are concerned).

			Novak just double-faulted on match point to lose to Casper Ruud.  What a day in Monte Carlo.

If Rafa isn't going to be playing the French, seeing Ruud win it would be sweet

Set 2 was better quality - Oikos wins Monte Carlo for the 3rd time in his career.

			Suddenly, two 1HBH's are back in the top 10.  Come on Shapo, you can do it    |

That's crazy - You win the same Masters 1000 title three times and that's incredible...and then you see what Rafa has done lol

			No Canadians playing in Barcelona either, but Felix is playing at a 250 event in Munich while Shapo took a wildcard into a 250 event in Bucharest.

Well at least there's the chance of them getting more matches in.

			Shapo lost to Moutet in straight sets and Felix just forced a third set in Munich versus Marterer.

			Felix comes back from 2-5 down in set 3 to win 6-7 7-6 7-6 in a 3 hour 30 minute marathon.  I'd like to tell you that he played some good tennis today, but it was a struggle for both guys out there in some tough conditions.  He gets Taro Daniel next.
