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.
