Hubi-dubi looks good!

 

[sortof]

Thx Hubi

 

[Humble Crumble]

I expect Hurkacz to beat Sinner tomorrow.

Lol.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Thx Hubi

I think Sinner beats him easily in the final. But I'm glad Hubi took out the trash today. #ABZ

Poles must be doubly overjoyed. They beat the Germans and the Russians in one shot.

Had a good laugh there, at least tennis delivers when football fails. Hubert von Breslau will still get attacked as quite German by certain members of the PIS propaganda. Has happened to many a good Pole.

Stunning serving, great to watch classic grass tennis for a change.

 

[James P]

Hubie up to a new career high #7 in the world. Could pass Rublev by the end of Wimbledon for #6.

That´s right, every tournament the Zedmug participates in needs someone to take the trash out. #ABZ

It will be interesting to see how much has changed since that Miami M1000 final. I actually think beating Hubie in current form on his favorite surface by far would be quite an achievement for Sinner and a way to announce himself as a top contender for Wimbledon. But it is far from given. Hurkacz has this confidence now that makes him look unrattled even when breakpoint down, and at times, dare I say it, a hint of swagger in his step. His forehand is passable on grass, his flat backhand is effective, and his net game is better than Sinner's. His first and second serves are effortless and second to none.

Sinner yet to face a seeded player

Fair assessment, but you're omitting Hubi's choking tendencies. Sinner wins the mental battle between these two and he's simply the superior player. Sinner was returning Struff's massive serves quite well and hitting his ground strokes a ton yesterday. He'll be the favorite tomorrow. No disrespect to Zhang, but he's not winning the semi.

Sinner is already a top contender for Wimbledon. Not to mention he's been better at Wimbledon than Hurkacz has in their short careers.

At least Runes loss to Thompson looks less embarrassing

 

[Mainad]

2nd Halle final for Hurkacz (champion in 2022) and 1st for Sinner (2nd Italian finalist after Seppi in 2015). It is Sinner's 1st ATP final on grass.

With Musetti's win over Thompson there will be Italian players fighting for the title in both Halle and Queen's tomorrow.

German media is reporting that Mouratoglou's days may be numbered with Rune, they had an "altercation" at the gym in Monaco after Holger lost at Queen's. Yelling was heard.

Hope that means Holger's dumping that snake.

Lol your player has not improved in the last 12-18 months. He’s hovering around the 12-16 ranking hopelessly. No signs of improvement

Why is that funny?

In Monaco? Did they really go back to Monaco between Queen and Wimbledon? That doesn't make sense. Is there grass there?

Rune lives in Monaco, PM lives in Nice. It's only a 2 hour flight from London. Yes, they really went back to Monaco, as multiple photos prove. Why this is even questioned is bizarre. Djokovic just flew from London to Munich, does that make sense? These are wealthy people with private jets making short flights.

You really think my question is bizarre? When every other ATP player that enters Queens immediately heads over to Wimbledon (or some similar English venue) to practice, as soon as they are eliminated at Queens, why is it bizarre to question someone going back to Monaco? Yes, know where it is, and I know how long it takes to fly there, but that still doesn't help it make any sense.

Are there grass courts to train on in Monaco? Yes or no?
