Murray suffered the curse of non-top ten players losing first round after winning a tournament.

that hurts him.
If he won a couple of rounds, he would have gotten a seeding at Wimbledon.
Halle is one of my favourite tourments, I love the vibe and the roof. Strong field with a number of players who can win it. Not sure who is going to win. Funny if it was another final btw Mevedev and HurKacz. This is the torunament where Mevedev had his melt down and his coach left. Epic stuff.

This Sinner/Sonego match is great, 1 set all. They just closed the roof and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a roof close quicker, just wow.

Yeah, I've been there. It's an interesting venue. You'll almost feel like you are in the middle of nowhere and out pops this state of the art stadium. Roof shuts in the time of a changeover.

ADM into the semis of Queens, impressive.
Sinner retired injured in Halle, got to wonder about his physique and durability.
And now Rune with a MTO. This next gen.

The roof at halle I love watching it close and the shadows it creates across the court, I don't think the players would think it looks great though. Looking forward to the semis at both Halle and Queens, unfortunately there are not enough channels to cover all matches happy that bein is going with halle. Go Rublev, keep that fighting spirit going.
Rune and Alcaraz to win both their semis at Queens, although ADM has beaten Rune before.

Aussie Peter Mercado has being doing an ok job in commentating at Halle tournament.
I'm watching Queens as well.
Bublik has been playing some fantastic tennis this week, he is a break up on Zverev and has consoldiated by holding his serve. Last serve was 224km per hour. That is impressive.
bublik takes the first set against Zverev with his unorthodox play, big serves and net play.
