Dominic thiem is doing good so far in the monte carlo tournament he beat gasquet easily even thought his opponent is not at peak form but thiem really improved a lot since his comeback but unucky for him he is facing Rune one of the top players at the moment he is young and yet impressive i doubt thiem can do anything against him.
He have been considered among the top line of tennis players. If he continues to play he's gonna destroy his name that's been earned through hardwork. He's at his best and announcing his retirement is the right choice. Today's loss is really bad and he had earned enough to spend good with his family. Right now young players are dominant and to play against them and to take their positions or give competence with this form is really impossible.
I don't see it that way, everybody knows his career has been sidelined trough hip injury and every professional match he plays after the surgeries is a victory of sorts. It is obvious he likes the game since he doesn't need the money. In his current condition clay is probably worst surface for him but I am sure he will do better on his home grass. Looking forward to seeing him in Wimbledon, not many grass specialist in top positions so maybe he can do good there. 
The Monte Carlo Open was immediately shocked by the quick defeat of Borna Coric, just watching the first set and the the second set for a while it was very visible how Coric experienced difficulties on this surface so Jarry won in straight sets. The match to look forward to is De Minaur vs A. Murray, De Minaur is the favorite because he is the 14th seed in this tournament but he is not a special player, so even though he is the favorite Murray will probably beat him even though in some meetings Murray has never managed to win but Murray has often impressed in the early rounds of tournaments.
I have stopped expecting things from Čorić years ago. He was supposed to be our next big thing, a solid top 10 player, and he's basically done nothing in his 7 or 8 professional years.He did win in Cincinatti last year - which is a big achievement, don't get me wrong. But it's his only meaningful one - and he failed to build on it as well.
An average player with below average results. He's lucky to be in the top 20.
I will be honest here and say that I still think it takes a great deal of work to get into the top 20 of the list.
However, at the same time, I think it will not be too much to ask for more from someone who is in the top 20 if they can produce a better performance. And I also absolutely agree that as a player who is in the top 20, his achievements should look a little better compared to what it is right now. I am not sure if I agree with the statement that he is an average player. There is no doubt that his performance has been below average, however.
Speaking about Coric, I've heard he was affected by injuries at the early stages of his pro career. When I saw him play a couple of months ago he looked more muscular, probably been working on body mass. Hopefully, that will help him overcome his injury proneness. But all in all I agree - his career so far has been pretty much disappointing.

After a nice match against Halys, Ruud today has been able to win. Ruud vs Kecmanovic the final for Estoril Open...tomorrow it would be interesting place some bet, maybe live...
About Murray, probably yes he is too old, but bear in mind he has also a full titanium hip, so it's not an easy stuff.
Most of tennis players at high levels seems to suffer about bad injury like Alcaraz, even if he is 19 years old he is suffering a lot of issues...

Well Andy Murray has a tough first match at Monte Carlo, he plays Alex de Minaur!
and thats tomorrow.
I'm not sure which surface de Minaur favours but to me he poses a big hurdle for Murray,
and there was me thinking Murray could get to the final...
I dont think I will bet on that, maybe for Andy to win a set, but which one?
How long would Murry continue to play tennis at this level? I never found him athletic, not even before. But now he stumbles across the track, when you see him walking it looks like he could fall down at any moment. Last year he played some great games for himself. But players he used to beat without problems are already causing the biggest problems. It is now someone who plays tennis purely for pleasure it seems.
It is my theory that Murray's tennis since he had the hip replacement is based
on skill, whats lacking is the higher levels of mobility and speed, that is what is
his weakness. Also throw into the mix is his age.
Today he was easily beaten by de Minaur 6-1 & 6-3. I said it last year and I'll say it again -
I think its coming very close to retirement for Andy.

Ons Jabeur played solid throughout the Charlston Open and finished off Belinda Bencic who seemed to be back to her best but just not enough to get through the Arab-African Ons. Ons gets a win in a hard fought 2 sets. Monte-Carlo up next. Should be a good tournament. Who are your favorites to win Monte-Carlo?
Same as Ons Jabeur Bencic had a good experience in this tournament. Bencic played awesome from the beginning, she had an easy winning in the quarter final match against Alexandrova. In all other matches she played fighting against the players and in the semifinals she had a tough match against Pegula. Anyhow Charleston have come to an end with the title win for Ons Jabeur. For now we can't be sure about the Monte Carlo favourites, as the round of 64 have just begun and more to go. Also tennis being highly unpredictable makes it hard to predict the title winner.

And Gijs Brouwer, who comes from the Netherlands, just made it to the semi-finals out of the blue, also a great achievement. Tournament in Houston.
Gijs Brouwer is currently playing a match against Francis Tiafoe. First set won by Tiafoe and also in the 2nd set Tiafoe is quickly ahead and it seems to be over. Tiafoe is a player that we will hear a lot from in the future, I think. We see that the clay court season has opened, but many players still have the tournament in Paris in mind. The world's top in particular is preparing to shine there. We hear very little from Nadal at the moment.

This will be an intresting match up between Ruud and Kecmanovic. Even tho im cheering for Kecmanovic because he is from Serbia i think he is no match for Ruud especially on clay. So this means that Ruud is a clear favorite but hopefully he can surprise Ruud in the final.
With Ruud I never really get the idea that we see the future best or one of the best tennis players in the world at work here. Perhaps it has to do with his charisma or perhaps also because of his inconsistent results that occasionally cost him his head. Anyway, it's been a long time since we've seen a good player from Norway, only Denmark's Wozniacki in the women's was the last near SCandinavia I can remember. Ruud is also still young. Still, I think he is of a much lower level than Alcaraz. Alcaraz also progressed absurdly fast.
There are quite a lot GOOD players in Scandinavian countries but very few GREAT players. I mean really iconic like Borg or Wozniacki. Ruud is 24 so he's approaching the middle stage of his career. He's been on tour for 8 years already. Frankly, I don't see how he can improve from here considerably. His main drawback is his small body frame. If he'd be something like +10cm tall that would help greatly.
Meanwhile, in Charleston the play had been suspended due to rain. Kasatkina is leading Jabeur 5:3 first set.
The match between Kasatkina and Jabeur have come to an end with the win from Jabeur 7-5 7-5

Expecting some great things from him in this tournament. After all, he is participating in this one after a very long time.
I don’t think he will be able to win the tournament. Because after all, he is already 35 years of age. Certainly not the best physical condition for any athlete.
But expect to see a decent performance from him
.
I think that a lot will depend on the matches he has to play because in the last few outings he hasn't been as decisive as one might expect. I don’t think he will be able to win the tournament. Because after all, he is already 35 years of age. Certainly not the best physical condition for any athlete.
But expect to see a decent performance from him
.in the last few matches/tournaments he has almost always lost in the first round... ok the final at the Qatar open in February but I don't think he's able to repeat such an exploit...
The fact of the matter is that he is simply too old. However, even if he does have a very good game plan, I find it difficult to believe that he will be able to implement the plan in a successful manner. Due to his age, we all have to understand that he does have some certain restrictions that he needs to follow. Based on what I've seen and what I've heard, I believe he has a good chance of winning against players who are less skilled than him. Nevertheless, he will not be able to perform as well as he would if he was competing against players who, in general, are better and quite young in comparison to him.
Charleston WTA 500 quarterfinals today and we're getting ready for some exciting matches:
Kalinskaya v Jabeur Jabeur is determined to get back to top 10, today she'll be unstoppable.
Keys v Kasatkina Kasatkina is a clay player, more chances for her against the American.
Bencic v Alexandrova The two have met recently in Miami and Alexandrova won that one. h2h is tied 3:3 but bookies think Bencic will win. Despite this, I'm betting on the opposite.
Pegula v Badosa Match of the day in my opinion. Badosa is back in her top form, whereas Pegula has shown hell of a tennis in previous rounds, coming back from 0:3 etc several times. My bet is on Badosa, she's good on clay.
The matches have already started, don't miss the action!
Few of the predictions have won. Kalinskaya v Jabeur - Jabeur have won the match and reached the semifinals as the match ended during the second innings with the walkover of Kalinskaya.Kalinskaya v Jabeur Jabeur is determined to get back to top 10, today she'll be unstoppable.

The matches have already started, don't miss the action!
Bencic vs Alexandrova - As the bookies predicted it is direct set win for Bencic 6-3 6-3
Keys vs Kasatkina - The pick have won, but this seems to be fighting in the first set and later Kasatkina won it easily 77-65 4-6 2-6.
Pegula vs Badosa - Match just begun. Lets wait for the result.
