Musetti is so BAD on hard courts that he will have struggle to get into top 10.
The guy is really really bad.

50% career win on HC and 64% on clay career
But even in last 52 he is 14 wins and 18 losses (under 50% on HC )
If you ever play him in hard courts odds are you win no matter who.

Bu really announced himself last week prior to losing to ZZZ.
Shang winning a title then falling to Bu likely shows how that run and elation can take it out of you for the next week but this run for Bu standing alone with ZZZ and Shang already out is a nice payoff. He was basically the 3rd most successful Chinese player last week and this week he's the only male home play left in the draw and up to a new career high of 83.
ZZZ at 41 and Shang at 51 so in theory Shang could leapfrog before year's end pending results in Shanghai and beyond.

I remember when Peng beat Sharapova back in 2009 I think it was. You're right, sometimes they do just find that extra gear and their game flourishes. Her groundies were always pretty heavy when at her best, but taking Sharapova out in straights was impressive. I'm eager to see how the guys play at the Shanghai Masters next week.

Man, Carlitos in the zone, sight to behold. The kid was unplayable, winning 61.62. Tallon neutralised. Points to note for Carlitos: excellent serving / excellent returning/ excellent shotmaking & related winners. Things to watch include unforced errors and converting to win the game.
With this win, Carlitos adds to his already illustrious resume, winning his 200th tour level match, 2nd quickest to do so after McEnroe.

Bu enjoying his run here, outplaying Musetti. KK also through, and will play Carlitos next in the qf. Anticipating that Rublev will get through, let's see.
Heh,heh, yah, man. The level that will hopefully remain consistent for the remaining year.

Carlos Alcaraz reaches 200 wins quicker than all World No. 1s but one... | ATP Tour | Tennis
When Carlos Alcaraz earned his 200th tour-level win in the China Open second round Saturday, he had just 52 losses. Among the 29 players to reach World No. 1, Alcaraz is the second fastest to record his 200th match win.

Very impressive record indeed for Carlos!
Musetti is a different player on natural surfaces even if his talent shines also there....
I just watched the highlights and I had Fed mid 2000s flashbacks.

Finally over the Olympic hangover. He's had a lot of time to recharge the batteries after the early USO exit.
I usually take a couple month tennis break after the USO but with most of the top guys in this tournament it has my attention.

Beijing is actually outdoor. I always think of it as indoor, too, for some reason.

Alcaraz is wide awake now, attacking Khachanov's serves and shots and he breaks in set 2.
Up the set and break.
