And super-charged 38 year-old Gael Monfils just keeps coming up with the goods

Put out Taylor Fritz, 5th seed today, with seemingly no major problem

 Im expecting Netflix or someone to announce the 2025 Love Cup - 

a 3 way Davis Cup style event comprising mens and womens singles, and a mixed doubles decider:

 

Monfils/Svitolina

Tsitsipas/ Badosa

De Minaur/Boulter

anyone else? Draper/Raducanu (TIC!)

Daria and Luke Saville? Madison Keys and Bjorn Fratangelo - although he coaches, doesnt compete, I think.

Not sure if this is the right place but a short documentary on Joanna Garland.

Not quite remarkable yet, but in the Rosario CH125 event, we are at the semis stage. In one semi is Bolivian Hugo Dellien, and in the other is his younger brother, Merkel Dellien. Both have higher ranked Argentinian opponents to play so an all brothers final is a long shot. But it is close to happening.

Putting aside the Williams sisters, when would be the last mens final between two brothers in tour? The McEnroe brothers played a final in Chicago. Not sure if the Ymer brothers ever played? Probably not. Anyone else at ATP Tour or challenger level ?

 The Tsistipas brothers presumably won't have

Nor the Berrettini brothers

From what I can research, the Blanch brothers played ITF match against each other in an early round; the Zverev brothers did in Washington in early round; and the Cerundolo brothers played a challenger QF against each other in 2021, also in Argentina.

No evidence of any others that have played singles against each other, including Tim and Tom Gullikson, Tsitsipas or Berretinis , or the Bryans as another example.

The last final seems to have been John and Patrick in that Chicago final in 1991.

Of course, the Delliens may not get to the final and thus make this all redundant!

My first thought was the Rochus brothers but they haven't either. Maybe the McEnroe brothers are right?

I thought maybe the Griekspoor twins in futures, but they didn't play a final.
