Bad luck draw for Lloyd no chance of beating a world class player like that.

 But Petros has a main draw wild card, surely hes also a great player in his own right. 

mmm. Dont get me started . Perhaps Petros and Marko Djokovic should play Novak and Stefanos in an exhibition?

Petros Tsitsipas WR 967 and has never won an MD match even at Challenger level, has only reached 1 QF in Futures in 40 attempts.

It's who you know, not what you can do, it seems.

Looking at his ATP profile this is the 3rd year that Petros has played with his brother in Marseille.

There's been a lot of backlash about the wildcard for Tsitsipas the Younger (the singles one, in particular)

(Not that, I guess, the brothers will be that surprised, or care)

But lots of little articles, tweets, news sites, with headlines of nepotism etc.

As one tennis site said, it's obviously Marseille's way of making sure that Stef doesn't change his mind about turning up and add to their forfeit list - they can keep Stef on all the publicity stuff, confident he'll be there.....

Lots also mention how it really didn't work for Djoko's brother - lots of nasty stuff aimed at him.

And also Naomi Osaka's sister with her controversial main draw wildcard in the Miami Open

 I'll be interested to see the betting odds for this match in which I believe they have partners. I'll update on any apparent big opportunity for anyone regarding it as a no contest.

 Bet 365 have it strongly in Lloyd and Harri favour. 11/4 for the Brothers and 1/4 for Lloyd and Harri.
