…truly devastating for Holger Rune and his team. 💔 Wishing him a steady recovery! No one ever wants to witness any athlete suffer such a severe injury.
Musetti's vile gesture was a deliberate performance of his ignorant superiority. To dismiss this as a "mistake" is an insult to every victim of racism—it infantilizes a grown man who knowingly displayed his prejudice before the entire world.2/

What a battle! Tommy Paul proved once again he's an absolute warrior. The heart from both players was just, WOW!!! 👏
Up next in the Round of 16: a blockbuster matchup as Alexander Bublik takes on the ultimate test-top seed and defending champ Jannik Sinner. This is going to be good!
Ruud: Well, it's kind of like a rat race when it comes to the rankings, as well. You feel you're obligated to play with certain rules that the ATP have set up with the mandatory events.
