I highlighted the players I think would win today. So lets see whether I am correct in my assessments.

In Round 1 Rublev 12 aces - today he made 16 double faults and lost 5 games as a result - he started cursing h himself in the first set and from there on he was totally useless - he let himself down by a nervous collapse,

TOURNAMENT WINNERS

Halle - Alexander Bublik

London - Carlos Alcaraz

Congrats to both winners. Bublik was very poor earlier this year and struggling aroud in the rankin category betwen 40 and 60 rankings and is now back at ranked 30 in the worlld and a certain seed at Wimbledon. Alcaraz now hold the record of the highest percentage of wins on Grass - Alcaraz 92% - Djokovic 89%. I can remember Mozart calling Alcaraz a new version of Michael Chang - I wonder whether he is still of that opinion?
