Weeks 27 & 28 - The Championships, Wimbledon (grass) - singles

JonH · All-time great

All 4 of the semifinalists at Stuttgart are into the last 32 at Wimbledon, looks like the warm up tournament to be in.

Berrettini, FAA, Raonic and Struff.

That's Kyrgios now out of Dan's pathway.

Dan is two wins away from being GB number 1 as a certain poster on this forum predicted would happen by US Open....

Fognini with his win today gets into the Race top 8, above Zverev

Yes, you did, I believe after Dan won his recent two successive challenger titles.

Still got to happen of course but very good if he does get there. As for doing it at Wimbledon he needs 3 more wins, ie. needs to reach the SF.

I think youll find it was many months ago, the recent post to back it up.

Dan would probably have to beat Nadal though but imagine if he did. Triple whammy if beating Rafa, new CH and GB number 1 combined. Im kind of writing off Sousa here to be fair a good challenger player. In fact it was Sousa I saw at the French Open play against Murray. This was the same day Andrew Castle blocked me on twitter for incorrectly making comments about the empty seats without knowing he facts. Happy times

Ah OK, just you didn't mention in your Nottingham Challenger post that it was as you'ed previously said. I guess buried back in the forum then

I was aware that last year you had flagged that Cam would be ahead of Kyle by this time but not the previous Evo #1 post(s) other than suggestions of all 3 generally going to come much closer together.

Interesting times.

Presumably after December, though, when you had Mr Evans predicted to be number 4 (behind Messrs Murray, Norrie and Edmund)

Edit - removed stray s!

(4) Anderson falls to (26) Pella and (10) Khachanov to (23) Bautista Agut.

The next highest seeded and ranked player left in the top half after Djokovic is (11) Medvedev WR 13 ( one set all with (21) Goffin ).

Djokovic took the first set 7-5 vs Hurkacz.

Medvedev duly fell to Goffin. Djokovic through but now the next ranked left in the top half is (15) Raonic WR 17.

And now FAA (19) is out of the frame, beaten in straight sets (4, 5 & 3) by the French tyro, Ugo Humbert!
