Their political manoeuvrings were an attempt to do something good. So they deserve only good in return. We definitely will learn something about the youngsters. We know enough about their opponents..
Instead of affecting a government, it penalized players. Russians who weren’t allowed to play and everyone else who played and got no points.

I didn’t say they were right to do it, but that it was an attempt to do something good. To a make a statement, no matter how futile. The ATP foolishly compounded this by removing points from the tournament, so the tyrant got to laugh at one of the revered western institutions in disarray. I have no problem with the west punishing high profile Russians to try to pressure Putin - as if he cares about anyone but himself - but the ATP were tone deaf..

Alcaraz consolidates his break in the 3rd set and leads 3-1
I feel this match is now getting away from Matteo, probably lacking the match play at this level
Alcaraz with a BP and a chance for a double break
Matteo survives and holds his service game

One thing I must say with Alcaraz this is the best returning on grass I have seen, considering Matteo's 1st serve bombs, bodes well
In saying that I cant take my eyes of my handsome Italian :)

Matteo said it is getting dark now, nice try it is just after 8pm and the roof can be closed with lights as Gerry Armstrong said earlier
Expect the roof to be closed after Matteo service game
There will be a short delay now the roof is being closed
2 games all 4th set

The Danish Angel prevails in 4 tough sets over Dimitrov. 2nd consecutive Slam quarterfinal for little Holger.

Don’t want to jinx but there is a matchup many of us want….
