This thread will cover the upcoming two weeks.
ATP has Estoril and Munich this week, then will start Madrid I believe on Sunday or Monday (main draw).
For the ladies, WTA Madrid is an almost two week event. Qualies will start on Tuesday, main draw on Thursday.
Bianca Andreescu won't be there (covid), neither will Serena Williams (Tiriac said mean things about her), but other than that all the top players will be there, yes even Naomi Osaka!
Blue clay will not return this year either :(

· 1h An interview with ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi: - A Masters event on grass has been proposed - ATP has lost half its revenues because of Covid-19 - On the PTPA: "There has to be good faith from both sides" - More collaboration between ATP & WTA is planned WOAH |

Juan Ignacio Londero 2.98
Richard Gasquet 1.48 I see value for a trade on Londero a 2.98. they played 3x, Gasquet won once on HC, Londero won twice, both on clay. Gasquet has played 2x on clay in the last 2 years, lost'em both. |

A grass-court Masters would be a first since the series started in 1990. Gaudenzi: “I personally like the concept of having an ATP Masters 1000 on grass the week of Queen’s and Halle. It is something I have proposed to the stakeholders and to the board."

ATP Masters 1000 on grass is a good idea, but why clash it with Queens?
|
|
By:
sounds to he means the slot (week 2 of the 3 week build-up to Wimbledon), and then Queens will have to either move up or back a week.
|
|
By:
ATP chariman Andrea Gaudenzi has confirmed that he is looking at bumping up either the Halle or Queen's Club tournaments
from the introduction of the article https://www.eurosport.co.uk/tennis/wimbledon/2021/atp-chief-andre-gaudenzi-looking-at-holding-masters-1000-event-on-grass-as-build-up-to-wimbledon_sto8292235/story.shtml but then in the actual article, this isn't addressed. |
|
By:
so could be that too. but wouldn't clash with Queens in either scenario. Unless they make Halle the 1000 event, but if so Queens can always move.
|
|
By:
not sure Queens can host a 1000 event or be upgraded to fit enough courts.
|
|
By:
WTA loves to copy ATP so wonder if they'll do the same.

Stop ruining my day.

you won't say that when Sabine lifts the trophy at Eastbourne 1000!

By:
oh he's gonna make Queens an ATP Masters 1000? makes sense.
|
|
By:
You mean Berlin 1000.

Germans do love grass court, so wouldn't be that surprising. You love grass court too, right?
|
|
By:
no
|
|
By:
well I have to question whether you are really German then?
|
|
By:
Germans don't like lawn tennis.
|
|
By:
tell that to Angie, Sabine and Struffi
|
|
By:
There just happened to be some players who performed well on it even though they had never set foot on a grass court during their upbringing (because Germans don't like grass courts)
|
|
By:
So why you do you guys love putting on grass court tournaments then? Germans LOVE the premium surface, grass.
|
|
By:
So why do you gys*
|
|
By:
guys* ffs.

edy is not representative of all Germans. Would be like asking me why Swedes love surströmming.

By:
grass, beer and schnitzel!

Chardy looked like he was ready to throw in the towel after that last game. Munar mugging a bit in following game.

But I think he will.

I thought Germans loved grass. They always chose grass against Sweden in DC back in the 80's.
