So presumably one or both of Tiafoe and Jodar are playing Stockholm? Tiafoe's up by +156 points, so he qualifies if he makes the semifinal (100 points).

Meddy has already qualified for Turin, though that was a surprise defeat, he also got a unsportsmanlike warning from the umpire when he carried on and smashed his racquet and didnt skake the umpires hand ..........Meddy being Meddy

Let's see if they actually do something.

It has to be "anything" as Republicans haven't done $#!t in months! Our people are such idiots w/ bad memories electing these a-#oles! Dems brings them helpful programs, they pay for them, & try to bring the country together! Repuklicans alienate, posture, & do absoutely nothing while complaining that little gets done! :angry-face::astonished-face::fearful-face::yawningface:

Everything is breaking right for Jodar
With Novak and de Minaur losing, only a SF finish from Fritz or a final from Paul would leave him out
I am not sure what Tiafoes next tournament is

Van Assche was to Fils what Vesely was to Thiem, or Khachanov to Medvedev: a lesser player who shows up on the radar (or at least mine) at the same time, paces for awhile, then falls way back while the other guy becomes really good.

Tiafoe is not playing Stockholm, he was playing then withdrew, due to the fact he was competing in Paris Masters

I'm surrounded by folks who think "Democrats are good guys, Republicans are bad guys." I see it more as bad and worse. The main difference is that where Republicans will "raw dog" you violently, Dems will take you out to a (cheap) meal and then slip you a mickie. But Trump et al have been so bad, that the lesser of evils is significantly less evil: but not on their own merits, more on how bad the Trump regime has been.

Wow, that's a lot of upsets early! It's only going to get worse as elite players are absolutely knackaered by this time of the season! :astonished-face: :fearful-face: :yawningface:

There are different levels of evil & "the right" have shown their collective arses too often to ignore! Does a house have to fall on U to see that? :fearful-face:

Read what I wrote, which was pretty much that there are levels of evil. I just don't see Dems in the same rosie way you evidently do.

BTW Zverev annoyed by the criticism over his No 1 spot

" I feel like I'm the only no 1 in history who has to explain why its normal for me to be No 1. I deserve to be here.Noone has had to justify themselves as much as I have".......................
Cry me a River Zed...............:)
