Its the closet thing we'll have the rest of the year. Thiem has never been past QF in Vienna until barely winning it last year with a bunch of three set matches and PCB retiring in one match.

Vienna features the top 4 players from the US Open. Unlike the last hardcourt "Slam". I contend that whoever wins here is the real Champion and 2020 GOAT. I have a feeling it won't be the guy with the inelegant ball flicks.
Nadal has arguably been the best USO player in the past decade so how can the Vienna Open be the Real USO without him playing?

Medvedev to turn around his luck and win it all.
Djokovic to get blasted of the court by Tim as a punishment for vulturing.

This tournament will be very interesting, but I heard that indoor is not tennis from someone.

Tsitsi is in the entry list, but he said on Wedesday that he's still recovering from his injury:

Dziokovic and Fluke can only meet in the final, so Medvedev is automatically out.

Is Tsits your second favorite player?

Oh wait, I thought it was Nadal "vulturing" at the Paris Masters.
(Geez, a whole lot of vulturing going on.)

No. For some reason, the team.tsitsipas message I posted was in #rafanadalacademy IG.

Well then he's out it appears as Paris a far more sensible choice given the incredible competition at the real US Open.

Vienna is not the real USO with both Nadal and Tsitsipas out. I am the USO so I know what I'm talking about. The real USO will be Paris Masters even without Djokovic because he hasn't passed the 4th round of the USO in years.

The Paris Masters is a mandatory tournament for Tsitsi (because he has been a pro for fewer than 12 years).

Qualifiers very strong. With Sinner wildcard only two weak spots are the Austrian's Rodionov and Novak (who has played quite well at times this year.) Stongest Round 32 in history of the game, no?

Well with the hard court specialist in residence its hard to say what they will do this year.
Cologne is slow. The fanless conditions probably make air temperature quite a bit cooler.Djokers quarter looking the easiest

I think she's monosatanist
Judging by her poasts she does not look like a Fed fanI think she's monosatanist
BTW I am really curious. Do you have a second favourite player or you plan to leave following tennis after Nadal retires. It looks like you are up to date with every Nadal news.

Krajinovic fresh poking and healthy out of the gates; hard to imagine worse. If these courts are dirt slow like Cologne, Scwartzman will be no joke. Coric with a recent final might be troublesome.

Tim vs Wawa possible in R2. ME WANTS IT.
Rarely do we see fellow countrymen of Big3 winning or having a good record against them. As far as I know Schwartzman can be threat but on hards he is no threat. I still think Wawrinka could have given Djoker a run for his money. Anyway if Tstsi is fit the sf's can be a blast.

But why the interest in Vienna. Wants Nole and Tim dead, no?I think she's monosatanist

What about Jannik vs Jannik R2?

So,potential round of 16:
Nole v Coric
Hurckacz v Schwartzman
Tsitsipas v Dimitrov
Shapo v evans
Monfils v Anderson
FAA v Med (or Demon)
Jannik Rublev v Jannik Sinner
Thiem v Stan "I Can Beat Anyone" Wawrinka
A ton of watchable matches first round. Thiem's quarter is insane on paper.

On a side note, poor Tsitsipas. If he is his (Octo's) next target then there is a serious chance that Tsitsi will lose a substantial fanbase.

I don't have a second favourite player and I'm not making plans for the future. I live in the present.
It's not difficult to find news about Rafa, the Spanish media and social media write about him all the time.

So what interests you in Vienna so much? A secret fear that Tim might pass Rafa in the rankings if he goats even more this Fall? Or simply scouting the field for Paris?
The djokovic fans are in hiding so maybe you sense what they fear here? The beginning of the end.

Of course, otherwise they will be ruined the moment Nadsy decides something else that goes against them.
Biggest loss for the tournament @tennis_pro?No Nadal.
No Federer.
No Zverev.
No Berrettini.
No Raonic.
Djokovic trying to gain easy points in this tournament.

The Vienna tournament does not interest me more than tournaments being held this week.So what interests you in Vienna so much? A secret fear that Tim might pass Rafa in the rankings if he goats even more this Fall? Or simply scouting the field for Paris?

Edit.
It means that I know who is playing (has played) and results in Antwerp and Cologne this week.
