So sad for Brandon, he's not had the best year but I hope he can get a decent draw for Wimbledon and go far there.
Snack Draper did it again. I'm hopeful for his chances against Musetti-Matteo
This. Winning, at any level, is great in building the next step.
When you when so much, you not only climb the ranks, get into draws directly, get favorable draws and seeding - you also cushion out the 52-week rolling and eventual point drop.
It’s the opposite if a big run which catapults you up without proper foundation before being removed underneath you the next year, see Eubanks.
If anything, it build the mentality that top50-100 range is already in his skillset, and that he can challenge upwards even higher, instead of having to fight for legitimacy as an elite tennis player.
Another full season like this and he can ‘bet’ on building a bigger team and scheduling a lighter calendars knowing he makes it into all 4 slams and most masters with confidence.
Well said. Brandon has the game to be a solid top 20 player but I think he needed a year like last year and a return to the challenger circuit to remind him of that.
He has been much better recently. Getting into main draws automatically is great for Brandon considering once you fall out its much tougher to get back in
Hmm, first title incoming for Jack??? Honestly, when he fell during Brandon’s serve in 2-5, my heart skipped a beat, glad it’s nothing 🥹
No idea who I'm rooting for between Jack and Berrettini (if that's the final). Here's to hoping both men get some balanced draws in Wimbledon.
Potential to be the most handsome final ever?
If dimitrov isn’t in it then no
I'm rooting for Berrettini, but you absolutely can't go wrong with Draper winning this
Great match from big D, looking forward to the final.
I had big expectation for Draper this year about potentially making it in the top 10. Hopefully this is a good omen
he looked good.

Nakashima is literally top 50 in the ATP Race (and had 40 wins 17 losses), what are you talking about? Especially compared to the last year...

I dunno if he has that in him. But he can live inside the top50.
He was touted as the next big thing for years. He's got the game but he needs to improve the mental side
Considering he started the year outside the top 100 and is now in the top 65, I'd say his year is going pretty well
Not too hopeful about his chances vs Berrettini
