Hip/thigh area clearly very bothersome for Djokovic (perhaps the fall against Cobolli?) today. After longing for a Grand Slam final between Alcaraz and Sinner for a while, we now get two in a row. It almost surely won't be as good as RG and we have to be ready for that.

Hsieh/Ostapenko lost to Siniaková/Townsend in AO & Dubai finals, but get the win here. Couldn't be any more different in how they strike the ball, yet both do it so cleanly. Either Hsieh or Siniaková has won every doubles Wimbledon since 2018, Su-Wei could maintain it on Sunday.

Holt pulling out of Los Cabos after the loss to Svajda today in Newport. I didn't see enough of the match to spot what was bothering him, but he was terribly off with just 3 points won in the entire second set. I think the last two sets went by in like 40 minutes.

Using the adjective 'best' might be questionable, but I don't think anyone will have a problem with 'most powerful' or thereabouts. What a clash in Iași SF tomorrow between the most deadly one-hander in the game (Stan Wawrinka) and its two-handed BH counterpart (Elmer Møller).

It was two rounds for most players in Newport today, but the R2/QF day is slowly coming to an end. University of Kentucky's Ghibaudo reached 1st CH SF, while two of the best performers of the European grass swing are continuing that form across the ocean with Mannarino and Svajda

Cash/Glasspool's grass swing 's-Hertogenbosch🥈 Queen's Club🏆 Eastbourne🏆 Wimbledon🏆 Pel had the roughest experience of the 3 GS final debutants, especially with his serve not being the stronghold he and Hijikata had hoped for. Rinky tried to carry and hit some magical stuff

Pinnington Jones made his first CH final in Ilkley last month, follows that up with a Wimbledon MD win and now another final in Nottingham. Beats Crawford 6-4 6-4. Oliver led 4-1 in the opener but was too clumsy on his FH approaches when trying to convert advantageous positions.

After a rather disappointing season so far, 19yo Matej Dodig comes out of hibernation to reach 1st Challenger final in Trieste. Frankly didn't need his best game today with Nagal throwing in a very erratic showing. Will face an established name tomorrow with Diaz Acosta/Tirante.

Paldanius/Ważny are the first pair since Harris/Kyrgios in 2012 to win boys' doubles Channel Slam. Today was the toughest match of the run with a 5-7 7-6(6) 10-5 win vs Bonding/Leach, saving 2 MPs. Alan did most of the work in the 2nd set TB with a return winner on one of the MPs

John McEnroe revealing his agent is dating Anisimova’s mother might be the first genuine insight from him the entire fortnight

AO junior champ Henry Bernet only recently came back from a rib injury that he picked up during that Melbourne run, but he's dangerous on the quick clay in Gstaad. Defeated Popko today and will face Trungelliti tomorrow. 2nd ATP Tour Q attempt after Basel last year (lost in Q2).

It's taking Anisimova a long time to settle the understandable early nerves and Świątek isn't allowing her much space either. Having five prior Slam finals (and all won) to her name has been huge for Iga so far. Even that exchange at the net 2 points ago went wrong for Amanda.

Mariano Navone wins his 7th Challenger title, beating Juan Manuel Cerúndolo 6-3 7-5 in Braunschweig Ranking this year hasn't reflected his strong level. Exquisite clay skillset despite tough draw. Pretty comfortable today, forced Juanma to look for outside-the-comfort-zone plays

It's not like Świątek had previously been ignoring Wimbledon and the grass season. But after dominating the clay, she often just didn't have much left to give mentally/physically. This time she was able to play a warm-up event and dedicate herself fully to the cause. Results? 🏆

'Two hands are better than one' says Møller to Wawrinka (maybe) as he wins the battle of hammer BHs 6-2 7-6(4) in Iași. Not as many BH exchanges as you think, Stan was erratic off the ground as Elmer used his variety and angles to keep him on his toes, despite issues closing out.

Draxl makes 6th Challenger final of '25 1-6 3-6 vs Medjedovic in Oeiras-1 5-7 1-6 vs Blockx in Oeiras-3 2-6 6-7 vs Nava in Sarasota 6-2 2-6 6-7 vs Mejia in Savannah 1-6 4-6 vs Sakamoto in Cary (last week) 0-5 in 2025 finals, 1-6 overall. Could face Blockx again (or Shimabukuro)
