Denis and Karen having fun. Good to see.
Bopanna likes to help many players. He helped the young Ramkumar to win Pune title and get the top 100 ranking at that time for Ramkumar.So odd that Shapo drew his frequent dubs partner Bopanna in 1R.
I thought it was kind of awkward for them, but then again they're pros so...So odd that Shapo drew his frequent dubs partner Bopanna in 1R.
Bopanna doesn’t limit his impact to the tennis court. The Indo-Pak Express team that he formed with Quereshi used the phrase, “Stop War, Start Tennis” to help reduce conflict between their two countries. I have tremendous respect for his efforts in growing Indian talent on the courts but that pales when compared to his impact off-court.Bopanna likes to help many players.

Ramanathan? I guess you’re referring to dubs and he and Bopanna did win both Adelaide and Pune just this past January. RamRam is up to career high #64 from those titles and managed to gain entry in his first slams at RG and Wimby this year. 2R/1R out with two different partners, neither of them Bopanna.Bopanna likes to help many players.

Tbh, it doesn't feel like it at the moment.Murray vs Wawrinka is an ATG match. 6 Slams between them.
He must've done some serious curls.

Fritz v Sinner final. Book it.Who's gonna win it this year? Defending champion Zverev is out as well as Novak Djokovic. Fortunately, Rafa will greet us with his presence.
Rafa wont win Cinci. Nothing to gain. Once he feels he is timing the ball well ithink he will get beat and put in a sub par performance. That way reduces expectation on him.Nadal likes fast hardcourts, because it gets him free points on serve.
The courts he doesn't like are low-bouncing
And he probably would have won Cincy more often, if he played it more often.
Rafa wont want the expectation levels though and he wont want to risk injury from a potential tough match or two. Think he will lose r16 or Qf. This is not the event he is aiming forIf Nadal wins he can be no1 before the us open and top seed. That’s added incentive for Rafa to do well next week as well as fund form for us open.
Why has Berr not been able to adjust to hards after a godly grass season and a decent post Wimby clay season?
Tiafoe acting like he just won the Super Bowl there
Berretini May have a 3.0 backhand.Francis pulls out a close set/match instead of finding a way to blow it. Kudos.

Last week was bad, losing 2R from ahead in the way he did vs Fritz. The week before he made QFs but crumbled in the clutch to the eventual champion. That’s not a bad week when you earn big money and points and should be feeling good about his game from pressuring high flying Nick.he's had a brutal two weeks
