LOL.... just catching up on Vienna result though and Tiafo's run there make's their marathon look an even more impressive win for Sir Andy

GBJ · Club Coach

I know others will probably do a much better job than me with the details of this but I think Im right in saying that Cam would need at least a QF here to catch those occupying spots for the tour finals. He seems to have a decent draw for a chance at that....then could face arguably the best ever in the Quarters

It's not Andy's first round opponenent he is worried about. He struggles in rnd 2....

Auger-Aliasime and Hurkacz potentially in Rounds 2 and 3. With the speed of the Paris courts, both will likely be a bit too much for Andy.

Brooksby is very much on the up though. He might prove rather tough.

Cam, Andy both on court central tomorrow and Dan Is also playing. Cam a victim of the increase to 56 draw size, meaning as 10th seed there was of course no bye for him.

He is on the up. But he's one of those strange players - I saw a match of his a couple of months ago and thought 'how on earth is this guy so well ranked? He's got nothing special, in fact some stuff is really mediocre'. I guess it's me - I'm just missing it.
