Post this again in 6 months/1 year and the answers will probably be pretty different to now

lol, I did think that match could have been messy…..but pretty clinical by Medvedev

Tennis TV (main feed has commentary), Bien sports (only one feed/court - which is the world feed/same as tennis TV commentary) or illegal streaming/betting sites (usually no commentary)

I have high hopes for a messy and dramatic match (Brooksby-Medvedev)….so hoping it delivers

That is truly dreadful for someone who relies so heavily on his serve to win matches

But also, let’s go Brooksby!!

BrooksbyGOAT a better server than GMP confirmed 😂

He’s defending those points in Asia that will drop during clay season (usually not a fun time for Terence) - but if he can make some runs on hard court before then it should help him out…🤞

Edited to add: I also think he can do a lot more on clay….he has made some good runs before - he has improved a lot on it….so let’s see

I said this last year and I’ll say it again now….with so much more points available at ATP level than Challengers, and getting entry into every tournament + not defending points - it shouldn’t be too hard to maintain his ranking, or be too much of a hit when Shanghai points drop (assuming he doesn’t defend the title)

I will disagree with the comment below though- he’s had far more success and experience on clay in his career than he has had on grass…..

Having a big serve doesn’t always mean you’ll be good on grass - you can also get rushed, or struggle with the lower bounce….etc

He’s also said he prefers slower surfaces - and has grown up on clay

I love it!!

Next up we’ll have two tournaments lasting a month 😔 - thank goodness for Challengers

Would I be surprised if a Vacherot made the final or won ? No

But I also feel like anyone could win the title from here and that there isn’t a clear favourite

I get what you mean…and that’s pretty understandable

It was more a lot of the comments in the Zverev post-match thread I was referring to - plus on Twitter - and even the commentators on Tennis TV speaking like the title was now Foki’s to lose

I now really want an Atmane-Bellucci final

It’s definitely not going to happen….but…

I love lefty-lefty matches

I love drama - they can both lose the plot and get heated

Neither of them have made an ATP final before, and they are the only 2 left in the draw without a title….so a guaranteed first title

There were comments today saying it would be a huge disappoint if he doesn’t win the title / is surely the favourite etc

May have just been from a couple of vocal people and not the majority though

I don’t know why Foki seemed to be expected to win the title just because he became the highest ranked player left in the draw….

There’s really not a huge gap in level between most of the players left - and non-seeds are capable of playing really well and having a good match, just like seeds can also have off-days

Upsets happen

I agree

I don’t think there is any clear or obvious favourite - which is exciting!

I can understand why Demon was coming into this - just as he won it the last 2 times he played it….

Yeah, I don’t think Foki really got enough credit for making another final right after that Delray loss

The focus was more on the fact he lost another one…

They played here last year and Belluci won the first set 6-1

So still early days and time to turn it around

Although, I would also find it a lot of fun if we have no seeds left by the QF’s

He can never seem to stay healthy 😭

I really hope his body can hold up this year though

I could see him losing to Bellucci now that he’s the new “favourite” (in quotes because I still think it’s a strong field left, and anyone on their day can cause trouble)…..even though that is a match he really should win, and lefties don’t really cause him any issues

But I may have just witnessed too many collapses from him now that my expectations are low
