​@ponchogp7870 Yes, many tourneys have gone back to pre-covid. It's honestly helping match pacing and in my opinion this small change has improved match quality on both WTA and ATP.

that's a pretty standard point by a Top 30, or even Top 100 player. Maybe it's just the fact that he did it while almost cramped up, makes the shot a little more amazing.

They played each other in Halle in one of the outdoor courts this year. I think Machac went up four love in the first set and then Fils reverse bageled him and won the match in straight sets. It would definitely be a good match given that Machac will want revenge.

[@coreyburney2331]

This was such high quality tennis! You can just feel that Fils and Shelton are going to be top ten (they play better than Tsitsipas and Rudd IMO). There games have improved so much this year alone. Next season they are going to be dominant forces in most tournaments. Kei is back! I’m sad he couldn’t close out the match when he had match point but this has to be encouraging for him coming back from injury and being able to play at this level. I can’t wait to see what his 2025 season will look like. Wishing a speedy recovery for Draper. Him and Berretini can’t seem to catch a break on injuries.

[@shangclockmania6168]

Dominant forces seems a little too much, especially when having Sinner, Alcaraz, Zverev, Medvedev and a still very dangerous Novak around, while other young guns emerging much faster and more often than 10 or 20 years ago, the level/quality has become insane. My prediction would be rather 2026 for them to be constant top 10 players. Somehow it feels as if the level of play in the last 2 years has become too physical for Ruud and Tsitsipas, besides clay court they are permanently outhit by their opponents. Nishikori played exceptional. Throughout the whole week. Am very surprised by his level of play.

What a stupid thing to say! The British - I presume you mean Wimbledon - are the most absurdly civilised in the world. Sure, they get over-excited and happy when home players are playing but they would never boo the opposition like the French (or US) crowds do. And will always applaud good play by the opponents.

Shelton needs a good coach so little results considering the fire power and speed he has

[@al1976-v7m]

He has firepower on serve & forehand, but not that much speed and average footwork. But he is a work in progress, you have to consider that he started tennis quite late. I think coaching is not the issue here, his dad is a good coach and they have a good working relationship.

@@al1976-v7m Shelton IS fast. Both guys are. Different players prefer either lateral or N/S movement. Shelton is better with N/S, like Serena. Both got to the drop shots just fine.

Best match of 2024, to me: Fils - Shelton

[@got2bjosh]

So many uninformed comments here hating on Shelton, per usual, without having seen it all go down. It was a great, super competitive, 3 hour QF match 7-5 6-7 7-6. Shelton was too casual during the first set & realized way too late Fils was out for Laver Cup revenge. The 17 MIN opening game of the 2nd set saw Shelton get injured via his hamstring courtesy of Fils (who also injured Fritz). Both required medical timeouts. Dramatic ending of the 2nd set tiebreak saw them both fall & Fils got injured via his knee & a cramp in his calf muscle. Fils used the physio 3 times while Shelton used him once. 3rd set became a serving fest as both guys had compromised movement. Shelton's recent losses to Zverev, Tiafoe, Alcaraz, & Fils were tight, hard fought battles. He doesn't go down easy.
