Alcaraz with that mustache lol. He played well though. Seems to be in fine form tbh. What about Sinner?

Sinner had to close down his 2026 season, due to an ongoing knee injury, after meeting with a top knee doctor in Lyon, he has to continue his rehab and rest and no surgery is needed, Sinner said " he and his team have to look at his long term career and he is expected back for the 2027 season

Frenchman Arthur Gea , 21, records the biggest win of his career so far, defeating 3rd seed Ben Shelton in 2 TB sets 76(6) 76(3) and his fist win over a Top Ten player
Shelton looked lackluster and got outplayed, Gea completely neutralized Sheltons service, very aggressive in the match, rarely made mistake, he builds and varies., serves very well.
Gea has made the 4th round, this is his first Masters 1000 debut and will face either Francisco Cerundolo or Jakub Mensik
This has been a break through season for Gea, winning his first ATP title 250 in Los Cabos in July, then reached the 4th round at the USO, as a LL,losing in a 5 set battle to Zandschulp. The Frenchman has won 20 of his last 24 matches and enters the Top 50 at 21 yo.

IMO, it just proves my pt. that tennis has gotten entirely too physical! The elites are literally breaking down! The Big 3 were the only exceptions!
