What is Kasatkina doing? She’s been completely unserious for months now. I get she’s fallen off a ton but it legitimately looks like she’s showing up to cash a check more often than not

I wonder if Mensik switched from playing Basel to Vienna due to his Red Bull partnership and their event in Vienna. Would have thought he’d prefer the altitude and quicker conditions in Basel (also a weaker field) Learner is also a surprise to not play Basel for similar reasons

If the same LVA shows up that played Musetti + Vacherot this match could be 4.5 hours

Easy to see why Novak would rather play Basel rather than Vienna

Was Musetti on adderall today? Barely a lapse in focus all match

Musetti wasn’t too far away from a chance to go up double break in the second. Of all people, definitely a guy who needs an insurance break

Much needed quick opening set for the Italian. Fritz doesn’t look sharp at all today, with Musetti dominating in almost all facets

Lincoln Riley looks totally unprepared after a bye. People will blame the time zone but should be irrelevant given kick time.

I don’t know where Griekspoor’s head will be after Brussels but it’s a lot of trust in Nakashima who has historically faded late in the year and showing similar signs this year

Doesn’t get any easier for Fils in Basel.

Fils chokes serving it out again. If I’m his agent I’m getting him to switch to a different flag in the offseason. Highest bidder gets him for Davis cup and Fils gets less French. Win-win

Fritz -225 is too short vs. Musetti, but can see with the court time adding up for the Italian + recent final history why there’s a tax to back Fritz in this spot. Will be a tough loss for whoever loses as both have tough R1 draws

Should LVA be +250 vs Learner?

On a serious note - is it possible to win by 4 games in a less convincing manner than Musetti?

If you don’t break you get broken. Musetti’s class edges out Cobolli’s character. Will face Fritz in the final.

Musetti a hold away from his biggest win since AO and his best win by ranking in ‘26

Huge comeback for Griekspoor as Dolo chokes yet another match from a dominant position

Moosebolli turning into a bot match in the third set was not on my bingo card

Books are pricing 1S totals very conservatively in Basel (main draw)

Flavio looks like he’s nervous for a presentation the way he’s sweat through his polo
