Safuillan on one of those sneaky runs coinciding with a super hot day where his confidence and firepower are going to be trouble for Ruud

Add in the average age of top 100 (~28 in the men) and it looks like one of the hardest and longest sports mountains to climb.

Sinner's avg backhand contact point:
vs. Medvedev: 2 feet, 9 inches
vs. Ruud: 5 feet, 10 inches
Terrific hawk-eye info on @TennisChannel Live.

Brutal timing of these persistent leg issues for Lorenzo considering how strong his 2025/start of 2026 was.
One of the few guys on clay who had the topspin altitude/variation/defense to disrupt and push Sincaraz/Djokovic on clay

The Rome Masters starts today and will conclude next Sunday -- 11 days from now.
No seeds play today or tomorrow.
Day's 1 and 2 are essentially a challenger schedule.
Go to Day's 3 and 4 and you get to watch the seeds play a non-seed.
Reminder that Day 4 of the 2012 Rome Masters was this:

This has never happened before ever in tennis… and may never again… the youngest ATP ranked singles player (Teodor Davidov, age 15, on the left) playing against the oldest ATP ranked singles player (Ryan Haviland, age 45, on the right) in our @verofutures 15K qualifying final

@mattracquet As in that more break points happen on the ad-side, and there is an edge there that matters

Lefty servers really do seem to have a special something on slice wide serves. Returners on avg make contact 33cm wider on a lefty wide serve on AD side than a righty wide serve on Deuce side. Some of this is down to return positioning, forehand vs backhand return mechanics etc

Avg forehand rally contact point for top 10. FAA is closer to middle because of how eager he is to play forehands vs backhand. Compared to happy-to-play-backhands Zverev, Medvedev, Djokovic. De Minaur takes it early, Musetti late. Most of this is strategy downstream of technique

Great analysis by @Threadorder on yesterday match between Rafael Jodar and João Fonseca : as always, meticulous, technically excellent and very well explained.
Really interesting, thank you!🙏

@andrelc_8 @AdamAddicott I figured football was on 24/7 in Brazil
English
@ThreadOrder @AdamAddicott He will share TV time with football in Brazil. Not the greatest strategy.

What’s the logic in scheduling Fonseca-Jodar to play at around 10pm (probably later) on a Sunday evening?

How does Brazil have so many tennis fans everywhere??

The amount of Brazilians shirts that I already saw on the ground today... Expecting a Davis Cup-like atmosphere for Fonseca vs. Jodar tonight.

@snack_attacck Yeah I tweeted about Moller in Madrid last year

Moller's backhand is a sledgehammer. Unsurprising when you see the depth of his slot position and how far that left elbow breaks the plane; kid has a looooong runway. Forehand I'm getting Robin soderling vibes.
English
Elmer Moller averaged 83 MPH on the *backhand* in that first set.
That's 2 MPH faster than Fonseca's average forehand speed.

@Gill_Gross He’s also tailor-made for Madrid in a lot of ways. Takes big cuts and big risks. Lehecka/Karatsev model
