re: 2023 non-grand slam tennis thread.

Looks like Khachanov is going to miss the entire grass season with a stress fracture in his back. Said he picked it up in the French Open, must have been during the Djokovic match.

Sucks for him. Missed most grass tournaments last year because of the Russian ban, then missing this year injured.

I had hopes for Fritz and Tiafoe on grass this year. But Fritz looks lost on what should be his best surface, and Tiafoe can't sustain his high level of play. Maybe Sebi Korda can be the great hope for US Men's Tennis this year? Shelton still looks a year or two out.

Djokovic currently around -150 to win Wimbledon, and it doesn't look like anybody can challenge him on grass this year. Berrettini, Tsitsipas, and FAA are spiraling. Kyrgios played 1 match, lost, and is "injured." Carlitos is way to raw on grass. Ruud, Zverev? Nah. Rune is an X-factor but is also young and inexperienced on grass. Maybe Sir Andy Murray can surprise us?

eta: Forgot about Sinner who seems to be made of glass. And Hurk who plays too many TBs and sets to really make a deep run.
