France's grand slam slump will come to an end when Fils beats everybody and wins the title
He is a cutie. I’m happy for him, but compared to Geneva this event is at challenger level.
Yup, default and walkover, only beat Zhang and Nakashima who is not good on clay. But it's often the case in these pre-GS 250 tournaments, good for him.One of the easiest runs to a final ever, but suspect it's the first of many
And yet the other finalist, Francisco Cerundolo is better higher ranked than both Geneva finalists.He is a cutie. I’m happy for him, but compared to Geneva this event is at challenger level.
By 2 spots, indeed. With all those WO the tournament looked pointless though. Easy win for Cerundolo I predict.And yet the other finalist, Francisco Cerundolo is better higher ranked than both Geneva finalists.
Crazy ending to the match, with Fils cramping at 4-4, thinking he won the match at 5-4 with a huge celebration, only to have to overcome so many obstacles to finally get the W where the only minibreak of the TB happened at the very end at 5-5 and thankfully he capitalized on it
I like this guy, he’s got a big game. The final will be interesting, Cerundolo should take it given his experience edge
If Cerundolo retires or withdraws, Fils will be confirmed to have superpowers.
I enjoyed front row seats to that lower body in Madrid.He is a cutie. I’m happy for him, but compared to Geneva this event is at challenger level.
Impressive, still picking Cerundolo in the final. Good for Fils however, I wish him the best.
Very well done from the new youngest Top 100. If he beats Cerundolo too, he wins the title at about the same age as Monfils or Gasquet when they won their first title.
Frenchmen who won titles before turning 19: Tulasne, Noah (3), Monfils, Gasquet, that's it.

Let's not go overboard haha. The last 2 prodigies France had didn't get even close. But maybe Fils will be a better Fils than MonFils.France's grand slam slump will come to an end when Fils beats everybody and wins the title
It is never the own son who succeeds.Let's not go overboard haha. The last 2 prodigies France had didn't get even close. But maybe Fils will be a better Fils than MonFils.
Cerundolo will roll over him in the final anyway.
He seems like a crybaby. Complained about too much in this match for my liking.
A lot of drama at the end. Cramps, overrule on match point.
Quite well-rounded bottoms on Veljovic.A lot of drama at the end. Cramps, overrule on match point.
Doesn't Veljovic been part of a lot of controversial matches with her calls...it felt after the 1st Fils MP that it was more Fils vs. Veljovic than vs. Nakashima.
