Congrats to Federer on another Halle title. He really surprised me with the ease he dispatched his opponents. If he keeps this level and he should he has a nice chance of winning another Wimbledon title. According to the bookies he is second favorite, first being Djokovic.

~ snip ~

Yes this is a good sign with Murray and maybe Wimbledon will be he's last Grand Slam which he said he would try very hard to be fit and ready for Wimbledon. I just hope he can at least make the fourth round and maybe even the finals as it would be a shame if he is knocked out in the first round.

Ash Barty is now world number #1 as they awarded her the world number #1 trophy yesterday. For me its good to see an Australian ranked world number #1 again as the last person to do this for Australia was Lleyton Hewitt. Barty has had a set back and will miss the lead up tournament to get fit for Wimbledon which she won as a junior.

Yeah thanks mate, its good to see an Australian ranked number 1 again. Barty really does deserve this as she has been climbing up through the ranks since she came back to tennis after playing cricket for a while. I agree with Osaka as she just sin't the same now since switching coaches and maybe we'll see her back to her best in the next couple of months in time for the US Open. She is still a chance for Wimbledon but there are some very good grass court players on the Women's side so we shall see.

Don't know that she is into cricket, however, she has became one of my favorites in the women's side. This year was break out run for her. As far as Osaka goes, just like we have seen to those young players who have rank up pretty quickly, they did fall after reaching number 1. But let's hope for the best for her, she is still young though, maybe what is has gone through will make her strong mentally.

The first set was closed though, maybe Goffin gave it all, however, Federer was too much in the second set as he steamroll and never gave him the chance to recoup. Yes, I wasn't able to bet on his one so this is a good win for bettors out there.

@babygun - correct, this match as I have said will be a good leverage for Federer. He says he feels good and we have seen the result as he won his 10th title. He will be one of the top favorites going into the Wimbledon now.

Edit: Andy Murray win's the double titles in the Queen's tournament with Lopez. Good sign that he has regain not just his physical but on the mind as well. So let's see if he is going to enter in a singles tournament now.

Ashleigh Barty will soon to be the women's number 1 rank after winning the Birmingham title.

Yes this is a good sign with Murray and maybe Wimbledon will be he's last Grand Slam which he said he would try very hard to be fit and ready for Wimbledon. I just hope he can at least make the fourth round and maybe even the finals as it would be a shame if he is knocked out in the first round.

Yeah, I think this is a positive news for all Andy Murray fans. But I wouldn't rush though, probably another doubles tournament to really gain his confident before any major singles tournaments for him. If he decided to enter Wimbledon so be it, but I wouldn't expect he going past 4th round as well.

Oh I totally forget it, congrats mate, you have another number 1 player. Who would forgot about Lleyton Hewitt or even Patrick Rafter? Grin

. I think Osaka changing her coach really affected her performance this year. That's why she can't carry the momentum she has last year.

If Federer keeps this form, I think he should be top favorite to win Wimbledon. In Roland Garros he played very well and grass is his favorite.
I am also curious about Kyrgios, such a cool player to see Grin

. Extremely talented but can't keep his focus/motivatino and is really free playing most of the time.

Yeah I think that's normal with him, and he traited his career not as serious as other players did. Being cool player could give him a good health and physical strength during the game which I believed an important factor for every sport active person to handle stress.

Federer winning his 10th Halle title. He did face Goffin in the finals but Federer was superb in winning the two set match. Kudos to Roger, and he is sending message now, specially that Wimbledon is coming up.

Federer going into the semi-finals after a hard fought win against Bautista-Agut. He will now face P. H. who fortunately win after Coric was force to retire in the first set after a back injury (too bad).

As I have mentioned earlier, I smell some upset on Berrettini vs Khachanov, as Berrettini won in straight sets. Also Goffin produce one of the biggest upset so far, beating Zverev in three sets.

Federer said in post interview that he is feeling good as his body is reaching nicely to the surface and still up for this 10th Halle trophy.

So Federer vs P. H. Herbert and the winner goes up against Berrettini vs Goffin winner for the Finals.

Yes, Federer looks good during his first round match and beat John Millman. He will be chasing his 10th Halle Open title so obviously he is the favorite in this tournament. He will be facing Tsonga next, so it will be an entertaining match. Zverev is ranked second behind Federer and so far also going into the next round as well and will be facing S. Johnson.

Halle Open for Federer is favourite grass tournament (except Wimbledon) so he will definitely try to win it. and now there is no any equal player on grass to beat Rodger.

^^ I forgot to mentioned that the defending champion is Coric. He is still in the contention after winning a hard fought match against Portugal's Joao Sousa 7-6(4), 5-7, 7-6(4) in a almost 3 hours match. I initially thought that he will be upset here, however, he was able to rise into the occasion. Yes, this tournament will be a good gauge as who will be the performing well before heading into Wimbledon. It can carry their momentum there, if they prove to be good at this surface now.

@Kemarit I did not see this match but after reading about it I feel Coric got very lucky, and he has admitted that this match was not easy. Coric is now going to be up against Herbert it’ll be another interesting match and I feel Coric may win this match too. Though this tournament is not as big as Wimbledon you’re right, winning on grass before heading to Wimbledon will indeed help in building momentum.

Indeed it was really a difficult win for Coric, probably there's some element of luck in there too. I'n about two hours from now, Coric vs Herbert will start so let's see how Coric will do to defend his title. Currently, its Berrettini vs (3) Khachanov and it looks like we might have a upset here, as Berrettini has won the first set 6-2 and will be serving in the second set at 3-3.

Federer is also thru to the next round, winning 7-6(5) 4-6 7-5 against Tsonga in a two hour long marathon match as well. I thought it was going to be an easy win for him, but Tsonga break him in the second set. But he was able to prevail in the last set so his hunt for his 10th title here continues.

I totally agree with both of you, the sad part is we all can see the potential he has to be a top player but he just isn't mentally right. I'm worried that it could be too late once he gets his mind straight and focused on tennis as there are other young guys coming through the ranks which look good. Kyrgios still has time on he's side to get himself sorted out before its too late, it must be within the next year though or he's chance could be gone like Tomic.

I read some articles saying that Nick's favorite sports is actually not Tennis but Basketball. And I have this hunch that is the reason why he didn't f***ing care whether winning or losing in the court. He didn't have that passion, and it looks like he is was going to the motions and just playing for the sake of making money that's why he disregarded everything related to tennis, the umpire, the audience and specially his opponent on the opposite side of the court. I'm glad you mentioned Tomic, they have this similar "bad boy" image and now it seems that Tomic can't recover from that stigma and seems to be on the downward spiral as opposed to be playing his best tennis at his peak age of 25 or 26.

“All I do is count my millions – you try doing what I do!” - LOL, he totally snapped once he was question by the media.

Yeah its a shame because as we all can see Kyrgios has so much potential to be one of the greats. If he only had the passion to play tennis and not the passion for the money he could easily be the next Federer/Nadal and win multiple Grand Slam titles but I'm not sure if we'll ever see this. Yeah I remember when Tomic said this statement as it was all over the news here in Australia, Tomic should just give up the sport and retire if he has so much money.

Anyone been keeping an eye on the grass court tournaments so far? I have been watching the Halle Open as there are some top players playing like Federer, Zverev and a few more. Federer is looking good back on his favourite surface and will be hard to beat in this tournament. Monfils has been the only big name to lose so far.

Yeah the Federer and Tsonga match will be interesting to see what kind of form Tsonga is in as we haven't seen the best of him this year and the same can be said about Zverev who also hasn't been in good form this year. I'm just watching to see who is performing well heading into Wimbledon and that's when I'll put a couple of bets on.
