His new ranking is 84 so will he need a WC for a Masters if he keeps that ranking or improves it from now on?
The tournament draws are smaller than 84, except in IW and Miami:

He'll need WCs for IW/Miami too.

  1. Will we see a new champion in Miami or IW? - Yes to both.
  2. How does Medvedev handle the pressure of no. 1? He'll be fine, though that doesn't mean he'll win either tournament. I'll bet he's in at least the SF in one of them.
  3. Can either defending champion (Norrie, Hurkacz) repeat? No, and probably not.
  4. What's a good result for Tsitsipas, Berrettini, and Rublev? SF, but I'd say they really should get to the QF as a minimum.
  5. Jannik Sinner is defending a lot of points in both, can he break even? Unlikely.
  6. Has Jenson Brooksby lost his mojo or can he wreck havoc on home soil? Eh - I think he's more of a one tournament wonder. Maybe 3R - he fits in with the rest of the US men's players.
  7. Will Zverev learn from his mistakes or will #ABZ score again? Zverev makes mistakes? Hmm... I'll say no to the original question.
  8. Does Carlos Alcaraz reach his first M1000 final? I don't think so here, but he'll get to one this year.
  9. Which Gen 2000+ goes further: FAA, Sinner, Alcaraz, Korda or Nakashima? I'll go with Felix.
  10. Which American goes further: Fritz, Paul, Opelka or Brooksby? Fritz or Opelka, even though I'm not high on either.

Thanks for that. More WCs in the future then.

Let's recap, shall we:
  1. Will we see a new champion in Miami or IW? ???
  2. How does Medvedev handle the pressure of no. 1? Not so well
  3. Can either defending champion (Norrie, Hurkacz) repeat? Norrie is still in the running
  4. What's a good result for Tsitsipas, Berrettini, and Rublev? Tsitsipas is out, Berrettini and Rublev are still in
  5. Jannik Sinner is defending a lot of points in both, can he break even? He has matched his R4 run in IW
  6. Has Jenson Brooksby lost his mojo or can he wreck havoc on home soil? This kid loves the home crowd
  7. Will Zverev learn from his mistakes or will #ABZ score again? Lead by Tommy "TP" Paul ABZ scores again! Unbelievable!
  8. Does Carlos Alcaraz reach his first M1000 final? Well?!
  9. Which Gen 2000+ goes further: FAA, Sinner, Alcaraz, Korda or Nakashima? Sinner and Alcaraz are still battling it out.
  10. Which American goes further: Fritz, Paul, Opelka or Brooksby? They all remain

How comes Murray keep receiving WCs after so many failures?
I guess because he attracts an audience in the way low ranked players don’t. How long that will continue for, I’ve no idea. It will definitely happen again at Wimbledon and Queens Club I think.

1. Maybe - Fritzl will play Nadal today in the final
2. Not so well, although credit to an inspired Monfils
3. Norrie reached another QF, but lost a tough one to Alcaraz
4. Rublev reached a SF, but Tsitsipas and Berrettini fell before the quarters
5. Sinner could not beat his R4 run after withdrawing. No word on Miami.
6. Jenson Brooksby managed to snag a QF spot, proving he's still got his mojo.
7. Thanks to Tommy Paul, Alexander Zverev also falls early
8. So close, but Rafa is ruthless, slamming the door in his young compatriot's face
9. Alcaraz is the last Gen 2000 player standing. And what a run it was...
10. Fritzl is in the final.


Were these questions hot enough?

They were good questions, even if I didn’t reply to them. Thanks for posting the thread (y)
