With the start of grass season tommorrow in Surbiton I figured we would start a discussion about all the weekly tourneys as they seem to not get alot of love here at SBR.
Not sure how much I will be able to post with real life getting in the way but I will post the tourneys starting for the upcoming week on Sunday from the ATP site and a few bullet points about each and then we go from there.Sound good?So feel free to let er rip.Lots of value in challys IMO if you know players outside top 100.
Week of June 3rd-9th
Surbiton..Grass...127000
First one of year! Saw hewitt and Krygios playing doubles.Usual band of grass court specialists.My boy brown tyring to save his seaon.Lots of injuries.
Lacko usually is good on grass as well as Stakhovsky
Poznan..Clay 64000
Lot of stiffs from FO qualies and main draw trying to claim points.Motivation might be hard here for them.Wouldnt touch Klizan,Anderozzi or Granollers.
Balazas kid could go far
look to qualifiers,Wild cards, unseeded to do well.Only a 64000 purse so skinny points and money
Protesjov Clay 127000
Bigger tourney so I think motivation will be better
Munar had a good FO..could do damage
Maybe Pella..but the seeds look to be far better
Skyment..50k Clay
What a shit purse..Doubt many folks will travel for this.lots of local ukraines,russians,kazaks
Hugo Dellien arguably is the hottest player on the whole ATP tour..he is 15-1 on clay with 3 clay chally titles.Still hard to travel from Italy to Kazakstan.
Lot of lower ranked guys.Hell I wouldnt travel to Kazak to play tennis for a friggin 50k purse.
Want a guy who may surprise..Munoz De la nava..
