ATP ATP 2021

[Drummond]

J P Smith being a professional tennis player is a shocker.

As is Matt Ebden still playing singles, he just took the first set off Millman. What is this?

Millman has had a poor summer. For a limited player like Millman I don't think having the bye R1 helps him much. Ebden gets a sighter in the conditions. Given the score line you'd have to think he is carrying an injury.

That's a concerning scoreline for Johnny

Good win over Cilic by Popyrin. Unseeded and into Singapore final, I'd take that for a week's work.

 

[Hamingja]

Cilic on struggle street the last 12 months but still a good win. Plays the winner of Bublik and Albot. Good chance to win an ATP tournament against either of those.

Great week. Played 5 tiebreaks so far and won them all as well.

 

[matt_897]

Gets in to the top 100 again by making the final. About time he's winning matches outside slams.

Millman and De Minaur will be playing each other in the 1st round of Rotterdam this week. Fun draw there

 

[Hamingja]

Something you don't see everyday in Argentina. Tiafoe is in the Buenos Aires draw. Not often you see someone from an English speaking country play dirt ball in South America.

[Firestarter]

2-1 and Popyrin wins Singapore.

 

[JackNah_8]

Well done Popyrin.

Won ATP tournament in Singapore

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Just saw the end, Congrats to Popyrin

 

[The Grover]

Great win Popyrin, Bublik is a bit of a head case

 

[Hamingja]

Bublik is the Kazakh Tomic. Popyrin winning without a tiebreak in sight, who'd have thought.

 

[Redline]

Good win for Popyrin, obviously not the strongest field but he still has to win the five matches.

Outside Kyrgios who is to hard to predict, I think Popyrin is out best chance long term. I think he has the potential to have a bigger game than De Minaur.

 

[FreoRicci]

Nice win for Popyrin. World number 82 currently. He’d be keen to crack the top 50 end of season, definitely got the talent for it

Bigger game than De Minaur, yeah. But not better, even in the long run.

Great week for him.

So, Millman and Popyrin win their first titles in pop up tournaments which happened during COVID times - Yet, too many any in the Aussie media 'bang on' like the Oz Open was the first tournament since the onset of COVID - There has already between 25+ tournaments this year on both tours if you include the challenger and future events - Congrats to Popyrin.

19 year old Argentine Juan Manuel Cerundolo won his first title in Cordoba as well. Ranked 335 and went through qualies to do it.

The Singapore tournanment was a bit poor but gee Popyrin played so well over the week. His serve was fantastic, he kept his composure all week which was brillant. Really happy that he won his first tournament. I think he has had a few injuries over the past couple of years, which makes sense as he is probably still growing into his body, he is 6ft 5".
Did JP Smith and Ebden win the doubles?
Looking forward to watching the tournaments this week on both sides.

They lost 2 and 4 in the final.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Djokovic has now equaled Federer's 310 weeks at no 1, He'll overtake him when the rankings are released next monday.

Nice to see Popyrin have a breakthrough tournament victory, hopefully something to build on for him.

 

[matt_897]

Winning with a service speed which struggled to reach 135km.

Haha, that gives me hope in winning an ATP title.

Millman/De Minaur is on at 9pm tonight.

 

[Hamingja]

Winning with a service speed which struggled to reach 135km.

Won't be winning too many hard court matches with that.
