Week 12 - ATP Masters(1000)- Miami Open Presented by ITAU- Miami, USA (hard)

I notice Mikael Ymer is doing well in Miami this week and plays Finn Ruusuvori. Elias is in Marbella partnering
Leo Borg I notice. Finland also has harri Heliovara doing well in doubles. And Casper Ruud from Norway.

Slim pickings still but possibly a small upturn in Nordic (and categorically not Scandinavian, whatever one

might think) tennis fortunes?biggrin

 

not quite like the Borg, Wilander, Edberg , Jarryd, Nystrom, Sundstrom days or even Enqvist, Johannson, Norman, Soderling. But still...

Wolf is correct:  Scandinavia can refer to Denmark, Norway and Sweden, sometimes more narrowly to the Scandinavian Peninsula, or more broadly, but less correctly, to include the Aland Islands, the Faroe Islands, Finland and Iceland.

Quote taken from Wiki, which is reasonanbly reliable on such matters.  I never use "Scandinavia" as an all-embracing term including Finland.  I suggest you stick to "Nordic" when you wish to do so.

Joe, Jamie and Neal have all defended their 90 points from Miami 2 years ago. Less important to Dan but it is all points profit for him.

Clearly at least either Jamie or Neal will also move into profit after the next round, either widening or narrowing the points difference between the two.

 First of all, a slight correction to my previous. Neal has actually been defending 0 Miami points.

So that is both him and Dan up 180 points so far. Jamie's points will be unchanged.

 Life is weird. The same but different. And very tough. But otherwise...ok, especially if it's the weekend! Thanks for asking
