Rune and Meddy out, Fritz and Draper in

I'm assuming Zverev will decline the invitation, considering how often he expresses frustration about the demanding tournament schedule.

Knowing Zverev he's probably playing both a 500 a week before the event & one directly after...

Saved me the comment, cheers. Alcaraz also cries about the schedule often

 

[Mathiass]

Rune fuming right now

 

[Fairplay]

Holger dethroned at 22. It was a short and forgettable reign 😭🤣

 

[finishingmove]

Looking forward to the trailer to be honest.

 

[Pedigree]

Is it too late to add Dimitrov?

 

[textenfan]

What did Alison Van Uytvanck say about Novak never winning a slam again?

 

[Fairplay]

Looking forward to the trailer to be honest.

Yep. I'm intrigued to see who will be the construction worker, who will be the biker and who will be the American Indian...

If they are just taking the top 6 ranked players, how is it much different than the ATP finals.

I really think exhibition matches only work with big name retired players.

If you got Federer, Roddick, Nadal to play…I think this is an event that would get attention

 

[Heroic Atreides]

Jack Draper as the posh (English) Lord of endless stamina?

What attention?geriatric slow motion walking on court?
They paying 1,5 million for single match,so they bringing the best possible players available.

[FilipoSVK]

Where are Fonseca and De Minaur?

 

[RUNECARAZ ERA]

Does anyone remember the Abu Dhabi exho that used to be in the pre season? I remember Big 4 playing it pre 2010 and it was quite serious

 

[Never A Question]

Looking forward to Alcaraz whining about the schedule as he plays Laver Cup and the Six Kings Slam exho for the 2nd year in a row.

To be fair because of huge appearance fee they played seriously last time.
Winner got something like 6 million.
Your point about Abu Dhabi correct.players like Novak and others used that exho for AO preparation(skipping real warm ups).thats why it was serious

He is not playing Basel(not sure about Beijing) this time.
I dont expect whinning.
