Late news but Andujar takes the Marrakech 250 title, first beating Sousa in rather routine fashion in the semis 6-4, 6-4, then destroying Edmund 6-2, 6-2.

With this title, Andujar will move up 201 ranking spots to #154 in the world.

Highlights can be seen here:

Donaldson is hardly anyone to advocate for but i do agree with him in this case. The archaic clay system needs a massive overhaul. The ball was clearly out to the naked eye on the replay and the 'hawkeye' even proved it. The fact the umpire was so off base should make this reviewable by the off court team.

Tough to swallow when that terrible call essentially ends your tournament.

Solid win by Raonic after a tough start to the match 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. Ended up dominating the stat lines when it was all over.

Looks like El Shapo is on court now as well against the Greek Adonis Stefanos.

Donaldson is regarded as one of the nicest guys on tour as well (very sportsmanlike etc.) Looking at the video, he had every right to be steamed.

Tsitsipas takes out Denis in straight sets 6-3 6-4 - Tough to beat anyone with these kind of numbers, let alone a fine young player like Stefanos.

Also reading today that Milos pulled out of playing doubles with an apparent eye injury. No word if that injury will also make him withdraw from singles competition as well as of yet.

How about some positive news about Genie for a change?

Where are Auger and Pospisil at this week? Weird to see Pospisil taking like 3 weeks off mid season, would think if he wasn't going to Monte Carlo he would have at least hit one of the 250s last week.

Auger was in Monte Carlo and lost in the first round.

Pospisil has no interest in playing in Europe on clay. He's in China next week and Korea the week after to play clay challengers.

Milos is currently in action today in Monte Carlo facing Marco Cecchinto of Italy - Milos just won the opening set in a tie-breaker.

Wow, that second set just flew by as Milos takes the match winning 7-6(5) 6-2. He'll take on the winner of Verdasco and Cilic in round 3.

Looks like a dominating win by Milos as he is now off to the third round to likely face Cilic. Starting to think this Goran partnership is paying off in spades for the big man.

Djoker has played a lot better this tournament than recently. His match with Thiem tomorrow will be a very interesting one to watch.
