re: The Unofficial 2018 Non-GS Tennis Thread

Super brief roundup:

Hertogenbosch:
-Bernie Tomic won a tennis match!!!!!!!!!
-Muller, normally solid on grass, got dropped in straights by Matty Ebden
-Verdasco routined Daniil Medvedev. This surprised me. I expected a bit more from the young Rooski.

Stutgart:
-El Shapo gets taken down in three by some Indian dude I've never heard of. I guess the jury is still out on how his game is going to translate to the cowfield surface.
-Felpez gave Troicki a scrumptious breadstick before Troicki called it a day. Felpez is a good grass court player historically, though his game as a whole has fallen off this year, so I'm not as bullish as i might have been when he was sub-35
-Rising start Max marterererer wins in three. Does he have grass court game? Too early to tell.
-Gizmo's boy Benny P is quietly putting together a decent little 2018. Takes out the dreamy Taylor Harry in three.
-The Canadian Servebot gets a "basic" straight set win.
-The mighty Istomin takes out the ugliest man on tour, Forian Mayer.
-Smug gets pushed to 3 by Mischa "check out my 4.0 level groundstrokes" zverev. Hey, last year he lost to a 40 year old, so this is arguably a better showing.
-Pwee routines some dude I've never heard of.
