re: 2023 non-grand slam tennis thread.

Yep. Berrettini got killed by Karate Kid Sonego and left the court in tears (allegedly). He's a couple of bad performances away from dropping out of the Top 50.

Sir Andy must have decided that he'd rather keep playing local challengers instead of travelling to Germany or the Netherlands. Next up is Nottingham.

If I had found a futures market, I think I would have to take Kokkinakis winning the Nottington Challenger. He's got the game for grass. Maybe that's just me seeing him as Dollar Store Kyrgios.

Speaking of... Kyrgios is finally back in action tomorrow!

Final note. It's not going to happen. But Tiafoe has a chance to jump Khachanov and into the Top 10 if he can win Stuttgart. Would be the first time the US has a pair of Top 10 players since 2012 (Fish/Isner). Tiafoe has been toying with that Top 10 ranking for months now but hasn't been able to pull it off.

eta: Couple of young 19-year old French players that I'm interested in watching in Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Arthur Fils. Especially the 6'7" GiMP with his raw talent and serve.
