Hmmm - Could it be that everybody else did the right thing and got the jab (even though they didn't want to) while you decided to look for any loophole possible? Yeah, why would your fellow competitors take exception to that?

Okay, not exactly a cracker - RBA dispatches Andy 6-0 6-1

Sebi Korda is wearing the poo shorts in Delray Beach this week - This is the worst tennis thing that Adidas has done since they tried to get back into making rackets.

Still alive with Bopanna in doubles, but a tough loss today for Shapo in singles...

Felix picks up where he left off in Rotterdam with a 7-6 6-2 win over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Marseille. A little shaky in set 1, but he righted the ship nicely in set 2.

Edit: Shapo / Bopanna are into the doubles final in Doha. They will be looking for revenge against Koolhof / Skupski who they lost to in Rotterdam.

Disappointing result from Shapo to say the least with the peaks and valleys not seeming to be going anywhere with his game. Not making the finals in this field is just a bad outcome no matter what way you spin it, especially when losing to the player he just did.

At least with Felix it looks like he's figured out how to raise his floor, which is the key to being a consistent threat in the top 10 these days.

No kidding. It's like being obtuse is the sole pre-requisite for being an anti vaccine/anti mandate degenerate.

It wouldn't surprise me that in his mind everyone was supposed to line up and clap as he entered like a king among men, when in reality the average fan and players are disgusted that he's not only ignoring the rules, but actively trying to undermine the whole thing.

I always liked Tsonga, wished he won a Grand Slam. I will always remember his 2014 Rogers Cup where he beat Djokovic, Murray and Federer to take the title.

Yeah, always liked Jo-Willy, exciting player and one of the most liked and respected guys on tour. Nice embrace at the net between Felix and Tsonga today at the end of the match, almost felt like a passing of the torch from Jo-Willy to Felix (as in I'm almost done, you go get'em Felix).

another excellent column from Matt Willis, skill webs for the top 10 players (excluding Rafa and Novax because theirs would be OP/boring)

https://theracquet.substack.com/p/th...utm_source=url

a few samples

Medvedev (Big Serving Counterpuncher)

Spoiler!


Tsitsipas (Strength Specific, Serve/Forehand Offence)

Spoiler!


Auger-Aliassime (Big Serving All Rounder)

Spoiler!


edit: he does note that Felix's might already be out of date based on recent results, it's based on cumulative observations from the past year.

A good run to the Doha final for Shapo / Bopanna ends with a 7-6 6-1 loss to Koolhof / Skupski. Denis will next play in Dubai and Felix will be joining him, but FAA has some unfinished business in Marseille first.
