Some nice tennis on at the moment.

Very interesting match earlier with Davidovich Fokina and Cobolli. Both hitting the daylights outta the ball. Ridiculously fit, strong and very athletic around the court. Davidovich has some issues ... looks totally without a plan, which really hurt him in the tiebreaker. If you ca, go and have a look at the highlights on Youtube. Cobolli hits a Djokovic like backhand at a critical stage which is off the planet good.

I'm expecting some upsets. Courts look super quick, and will favor the guys with some serving power.

Mensik v Popyrin . Which Alexi Popyrin shows up? He can really play, but I think it is tricky at this stage of the season for players from South America and Australia. Just been away from home too long, and the batteries are drained.

Mpetshi Perricard v James Duckworth. Duckworth in with a decent chance here. Both players slighly inconsistent and underperforming.

Monfils v Halys . Age catches up with everyone and Monfils is no youngster. Hayls has some game. 

Shapovalov v Shang. A match I am looking forward to.  Shang has been on a terrific run, winning 11 of his last 14 . I think Shapovalov has real problems here.

A player I really don't think much of is Anna Bondar. Totally overrated, not very good in my opinion. Parks to beat her.

One favorite I think is a reasonable bet is Harriet Dart to beat Caroline Dolehide. Dolehide just so inconsistent, with some recent trainsmash matches. 6-2  6-0 from Putintseva, 6-4  6-0 from Wang, 6-3  6-2 from Trevisian. These are proper beatings, where the players game just disintegrates. Dolehide has lost 8 of her last 11 matches.

I was looking at the matches in the Tampico 125, and that just looks like a lottery. It is such low level stuff that anything can happen. Definitely worth avoiding.

Good luck everyone.
