Hoping for Berettini v Tsitsipas, expecting Nadal v Medvedev.
Berrettini in majors in 2021:
Aussie Open - withdrew 4th round French Open - lost to Djokovic QF Wimbledon - lost to Djokovic F US Open - lost to Djokovic QF
2019:
Aussie Open - lost to Tsitsipas 1st round French Open - lost to Ruud 2nd round Wimbledon - lost to Federer 4th round US Open - lost to Nadal SF
He doesn't tend to go down against bad players... with the exception of 2020 (weird year all round) where he lost to Sandgren (AUS), Altmaier (FR) and Rublev (US).
The amount of money to be earned in tennis in prize money alone is baffling Perennial under achiever Heather Watson who has won just over half her pro matches in 11 years on the tour has won over $4M in prize money https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Watson before appearance money, sponsorship, endorsements etc etc etc on average that's making it to the 2nd round of tournaments (of all levels) only one in two

I doubt she's seen much change out of that prize money once you factor in the various costs of being on the tour/paying support staff/tax etc.

Incredible second set in the Women's final, Collins going 5-1 up and serving for the set, then Barty pulling back to level it up and win a tie break to win the title.
Have to wonder if nerves got to Collins, touch of the Novotnas.

Doesn’t seem much to me when you consider she has often been ranked in the top 50 in the world. In the world of football I would say there are very few, if any, players who have played in the second level of UK football during this period who have earned less. Plenty would have earned that in a year! And none of those players would ever have ranked in the world top 1000.
And they don't have to pay travel, staff etc out of their wages either.

Berrettini hasn’t even managed a break point yet, let alone an actual break of serve.

Some funny accusations flying around re: Tsitsipas being coached from his box mid match. It’s not the first time either
If you're bothered take up tennis

Nadal 5-3 up in the final set.
