Good on Casper for his first 1000 title. I’m glad he had something positive come his way after disclosing his issues with his mental health.

I always thought Casper’s issues on tour probably stemmed from his scheduling. He stretches himself everywhere, so he was bound to hit a wall.

I am glad to see him pull himself up and get a much needed win before the French Open. I don’t know that I see him winning in Rome as his results are usually all over the place, but he did reinsert himself in the conversation. It was a good time too as Alcaraz and Djokovic are hit and miss. Sinner and his form are a question mark. Tsitsipas and Zverev are also all over the place.

If I was Casper, since he liked to compare his health to a stock market, I would invest now in adding to the team someone to help him with his backhand and fight mode.

Musetti will win in Rome is my bold prediction as long as he doesn’t stop to think.

ETA: since hating can be fun I join Mrzz in declaring Draper an eternal “cheater”, it’s very cathartic. ; )

I always knew there was hope for you. Always!!!

BTW,
Nicolas Jarry last years runner up to Zverev has not withdrawn, in Rome, after I did further research, I was suspicious, when his replacement was named Juanito Jarry, and could not find any information on him, also Mrzz who follows a lot of smaller clay tournaments also confirmed he didnt know of a player Juanito Jarry
Whoever put up the format of withdrawals and who is in and out was a joke, for people ( like myself and also tennis journalists) who use the format for this usually correct format for tournaments
The withdrawals are as I posted before,
Monfils, Nishikori and Djokovic

Rome draw is out
Sinner and Alcaraz are on opposite halves
Alcaraz is in Zverev half.
I am hoping we have a separate post for Rome Masters instead of using the General News
Anyway for the time being I have done the projected QFs
Sinner (1) vs Ruud (6)
Zverev (2) vs Musetti (8)
Alcaraz (3) vs Draper (5)
Fritz (4) vs de Minaur (7)

Mrrz,
We do have a potential Fonseca v Rublev in round 2
Watching a practice video of Fonseca practicing with Dimitrov in Rome, he seemed to be in good spirits smiling a lot.
