Just some comments on the aready competed Eound 1 matches and the upcoming Round 1 matches:-

1. Surprisingly Jodar stfruggled badly in his match in Round 1.- but ended up winning. Be it as it may - the tennis gods were not kind to/ De Minaur - his second round match will be against Jodar and potentially if he survives that one agains the 37 see ded Jodar (at present already seeded at 37- his Round 3 opponent may be Fonseca - already the number 27 seeded player in the world,
2. I hope Trsitsipas - at present the number 84 player in he world - win his upcoming match, T he same applies to Casper Ruud, who dropped down from no 12 in the world top number 26 and needs wins to get back into the top 20 players in the world

2 Alexander Zverev vs 23 Jakub Mensik

It is amazing how the old guard top 32 players are biting the dust and a new generation of players are coming through, Th e top player in that category is Jodar followed by Fonseca, Blockx and even Budkov Kjaer, Prizmic and Vallejo.,
