ATP/WTA 250s: GSTAAD, BASTAD, NEWPORT, BUDAPEST & PALERMO
This week is tournament heavy and top-player light. There's four clay tournaments and then the only grass tournament in the USA in Newport, Rhode Island. Both tour's clay tourneys are in Europe - Gstaad, Switzerland, Bastad, Sweden, Budapest, Hungary and Palermo, Italy.
The only two Top 10 players contending this week are Casper Ruud, who chose to compete in Bastad instead of defending his title in Gstaad, where Andrey Rublev is also contending. Then there's only four Top 20 players among all of the ATP 250s this weeks.
On the women's side in both WTA 250s, the highest ranked is Daria Kasatkina (11) contending in Palermo, as is #26 Qinwen Zheng. The rest of the two WTA field this week gives the lower-ranked players a chance to gain some points.
And a begrudging congratulations to the new men's Wimbledon men's champ Carlos Alcaraz. I hope all of your dreams came true and know your jinxes worked😕 Hopefully, Novak Djokovic will still be in some form for the USO and maybe Wimbledon next year. Also congratulations to Marketa Vondrousova. Sadly Ons Jabeur is once again only a bridesmaid but had a helluva tournament, and Marketa is a welcome and worthy champ!
Besides the number of tourneys this week, this is the longest I've worked for a very long time in one day since I had to start from nothing, not having our right-hand woman content provider available. Which just proves to me and I hope all of you how critical Shirley Hartt is to the success of this Blog. So this may not be perfect, and the WTA info on Palermo totally stinks (the only way I knew of the few players I mentioned here competing in Palermo is from the Live Ranking site).
Enjoy👇
