Funny Kokkinakis has kept playing doubles so hopefully not to bad.

He’s pulled out of the doubles now as well.

Ebden has reached the quarters at Busan.

 

[ozgamer]

De Minaur is granted a MDWC for the French Open.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Ebden through to the final in Busan where he will take on Johanna Griggs favourite, Pospisil.

Ebden wins.

This week he is back on the main tour in Lyon. H has drawn Taylor Fritz in round 1.

Millman has drawn Nicolas Kicker of Argentina in round 1.

Excellent, so we have had two winners two weeks in a row! Pity it wasn't clay but Lyon will give Matty some clay court practice. Millman was originally playing qualies here so good to see him in the main draw

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Millman has pulled out of Lyon, don't know why.

Kyrgios is playing doubles this week with sock. Using it to test out the elbow and decide whether to play in Paris next week. Highly unlikely he'll play.

I find that logic quite bizarre.

Official reason is 'Hip injury' but i have no idea how serious it is. Hopefully just a precauton before a Grand Slam.

Yes, hopefully. He's tweeted that he's 'working hard to sort out a couple of things with the body'.

Could be the hip, I know he wasn't rapt that he had to drive from Aix to Heilbronn due to train or plane strikes or something because sitting in a car for hours is not good for his hip.

 

[matt_897]

Have to hope that since he was in the draw till the day before it's only a precaution but I guess we will find out.

As for Nick, I've already written off the French for him.

 

[vaughany]

Hewitt and Kyrgios are apparently teaming up to play doubles together at Queens just before Wimbledon.
Most likely some extra tennis on grass for Nick if he doesn't play the French Open (very likely he will miss)

stosur beats gavrilova (dasha out injured at start of the 3rd set)

They go again in the 2nd round @ Strasbourg.

 

[pepsi]

Stosur beats gavrilova comfortably. Barty on court now.

 

[matt_897]

She then got beaten by Cibulkova comfortably, so bye bye ranking points. Barty through to the semis.

 

[matt_897]

Lleyton is playing a challenger doubles with alex bolt in the uk this coming week. Kyrgios is also playing doubled as well with an american i have never heard of.

Lots of Aussies in the singles too; Polmans, De Minaur, Bolt, Kokkinakis and Thompson. Ebden will be there too but only playing doubles as far as I can tell.

Edit: J P Smith also playing doubles.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Ebden and De Minaur will play each other in the semis of the Surbiton Challenger.

Thompson has retired from his qualification match at the ATP event at Hertogenbosch (J P Smith and Purcell won their first round of qualies)

 

[JackNah_8]

Tomic def D Brown in Qualifying Hertogenbosch (Netherlands)

 

[Redline]

Purcell and Bolt have qualified in Hertogenbosch. Tomic on court later.

 

[JackNah_8]

Tomic defeated Smyczek

 

[pepsi]

Tomic defeated Smyczek

He's setting himself up for a decent grass court season.

De Minaur lost in the final of the challenger just now, in 3 sets to chardy.

 

[Redline]

I am no Tomic fan but I have to admit he has already proved me wrong. I doubted he would ever make it back on tour. To qualify at the French and a main tour event is a fair effort.

 

[JackNah_8]

I am also surprised he actually qualified for the French Open (least favourite surface). I thought he would just skip it.

It's good to see him make the main draw in Hertogenbosch - interesting 1st round match coming up:

Tomic v Baghdatis.

By all accounts dad is back in the picture and helping to get bsck on track tennis wise. I would love to see him qualify for wimbledon this year. He is not an easy opponent for most players on grass.
