Leylah looks fine but overall I think the Canadian Olympic Team needs to go back to Roots, not a fan of some of the outfits I saw.

By the way, Bianca is using a protected ranking to enter the French Open this year.

Felix just defeated Taro Daniel 6-3 6-2 on a cold, wet dreary day in Munich.

Felix gets Struff on Friday and has a positive H2H against the German - Always seems to bring it though and played well today against BVDZ, Felix will have to play well to advance to the semi-finals.

Germany has some pretty good white wine, but it's no match to Zverev in Munich today. My goodness, what a petulant baby.

I thought Felix played a pretty good 1st set, Struff just stepped up with a brilliant return game at the end of the opening set. However, Felix had a terrible opening service game to start set 2 and is down a set and a break as a result.

Felix unable to recover from that early break in set 2 as Struff wins 7-5 6-4. I see some positive signs from Felix however the lingering problems (i.e. too many double faults) remain.

Struff then follows up the Felix win by destroying Holger Rune 6-2 6-0 in 45 minutes. Wowza.

Jan-Lennard Struff wins his first ATP title at the age of 33 (turns 34 in 4 days) defeating Taylor Fritz 7-5 6-3. Good for Struffy.

Elena Rybakina eliminated Iga Swiatek yesterday and today won the Stuttgart title over Marta Kostyuk. Of course, you also win a Porsche when you win Stuttgart, the only issue is that Rybakina doesn't have a driver's license.

Oikos v Jaaaa much more competitive this time. It’s still weird to me how the 1hbh guy hulks out on clay of all surfaces. Must be the extra time available to run around to the forehand.

Oikos would be a ton more likable if he would drop his dad as coach. Or just put grip tape over his mouth to muffle him during matches.

Ruud now up a set and a break looking for that elusive first ATP 500 title (has a bunch of 250s already).

Lest we forget, Ruud has appeared in three grand slam finals. The guy gets a lot of undeserved derision directed his way, he's a heck of a player.
