Nice to see Tabilo back up his big win with another win today over Khachanov (two tie-break sets go the way of the Chilean-Canadian).

20 years ago it was Gaston Gaudio coming back to defeat a cramping Guillermo Coria in five sets in a battle between two guys from Argentina. The Argentines are back with several good young players in the mix (Etcheverry, Navone, Cerundolo to name three).

The tourney is wide open, but I might have to put my money on Casper Ruud.

I didn't see that one coming as Paul's clay court win% is .400 which is by far the worst on any surface for him.

I also didn't see Tsitsipas losing only three games versus De Minaur. I didn't see the match, but I have to assume that 3 hour match versus Felix must have done a number on his legs.

Thiem doesn't get a wild card into the French Open this year, should have given him a chance he's a 2 time finalist.

I really hope Tabilo wins Rome now. He will play the winner of Zverev vs. Fritz in one of the semi-finals.

Edit: Now that Tabilo will be playing Zverev, he really needs to at least make the Rome final.

Iga into the Rome final defeating Coco Gauff 6-4 6-3 - They have played 11 times and Iga has won 10 of the 11 matches.

Two guys from Chile in the final four in Rome as Jarry sends Oikos packing.

[dash_pinched]

Tabilo just bread-sticked Zverev in 30 minutes - Keep it going Alejandro!!

Edit: Rats, Tabilo lost set 2 in a tie-break and then hit the wall. Too passive late in set 2 and losing the tie-break seemed to drain him both emotionally and physically.

Bah, Zverev wins Rome. Oh well, as long as he doesn't win at RG.

Plenty of Canadian content this week - Leylah won her opening match at the Strasbourg tourney over Potapova yesterday and is seeded #32 for the French Open. Rebecca Marino and Marina Stakusic are also attempting to qualify for the French Open.

Gabriel Diallo won his first qualifying match for the French Open earlier today. Alexis Galarneau is also entered into French Open qualifying.
