ATP ATP 2023

Geez. Arnaldi has clear talent, but he’s so loose out there. Really not sure about his fighting qualities, doesn’t seem like he really wants to knuckle down. Seems really immature out there, a lot of developing on the mental side.

Next minute, saves 6 MP lol. Lost on his 7th though.

I respect Arnaldi’s ability to hit cleanly on pressure points. Musetti though, who knows if he would’ve won if Arnaldi didn’t dump an easy overhead into the net.

Li Tu got his first ever ATP win as well, might be his last but good on him.

The only one that concerns is Purcell, should be doing better than that.

Ruud vs Shevchenko just started, this match could be really good. Let’s hope the youngster brings his best tennis because we could be in for a beauty.

 

[danstar]

Hope Shevchenko wipes the floor with him, Ruud is so boring to watch and is only good on clay. The quicker he drops outside the top 50 in rankings the better

Doubt that’ll happen for a long, long time. I don’t exactly love the bloke but 3 GS finals by 24 is pretty good. I respect him and his game, especially on clay which is definitely top 5.

 

[danstar]

True it could be worse, ramos vinolas springs to mind, he's an eternal quarter finalist in 250,/500 events but always takes 3.5 hours for every single match

 

[Drummond]

Tighter than the scoreline suggest this match. Shevchenko has clear talent but just hits too many erratic shots. He can hang during rallies, just needs to execute better when pulling the trigger.

 

[danstar]

What's happening with Sonego, guy looks like he's injured about 3 times this match

 

[danstar]

Sonego completely seized up with cramp might still win his service game lol

 

[danstar]

Ramos vinolas has to be one of the luckiest guys on tour I'm sure I've seen him luck his way to victory before like this

 

[danstar]

I must say this would be one of my fav weeks of the 250 tour, 2 picturesque locations at Gstaad and Bastad

 

[JamisonRun40]

Pity I can't watch love the Bastad tournament. So far so good with not having any tennis to watch.

 

[JamisonRun40]

I have seen a couple of matches. I'd say he is toooooo far away from winning Wimbledon. Couple of years is too optimistic

This comment is so funny now man how wrong we all were.

The other big news on the ATP Ymer being suspended for 18 months due to not turning up for regulated dope testing. He didn't return any positive results just didn't turn up for three of them.

Doesn't surprise me, something didn't sit right with me about him

Pointy end matches looking very good in Bastad. With their wins early this evening, Ruud and Musetti set up a great SF clash. So good for a 250. And right now it’s Zverev vs Rublev for a SF spot, to meet either Coria or Cerundolo. Very good tournament.

 

[Drummond]

Some Masters 1000 events have worse SF line-ups…



Meanwhile in Gstaad, which has just got underway.

 

[Drummond]

Good first set between Ruud and Musetti. Ultimately I think Musetti‘s BH is going to hold him back from ever being elite.

 

[Drummond]

Rublev/Cerundolo is fantastic so far, quality aggressive tennis by both. We’re 6-6 in the TB.

 

[Drummond]

Rublev is on FIRE wow, up a set and 3-0 and generally just smoking the ball and hitting winners galore.

He was extremely lucky to win it, he was 4-0 down in that 3rd set tb.

Vukic and Popryin in semis in Atlanta and Umag respectively. Both solidifying their positions in the top 100

Popyrin isn’t half bad on the clay is he? Great result for both. ADM was disappointing this afternoon.
