It's the end of another week. Montpellier decided the finalists as the withdrawal of top seed Rune saw Croatian Čurić advance to the final without a fight, making him his return to the final of the Tour after the previous year's Cincinnati Masters. However, the opponents in the final should not be underestimated, and Kazakhstan's "happy comedian" Bublik, who won two tour titles last year, is very good at winning the final in terms of conversion rate.
The Marseille race to be held next week has also been announced. New Australian Open champion Sinner withdrew, leaving Hurkacz as the top seed in the Australian Open quarter-finals.
Sinner's withdrawal was still in a uproar before, and the Marseille organizing committee, which sent its blessings as soon as possible after winning the Australian Open, officially announced "see you at the event", but the Italian had to withdraw from the tournament because of a series of meetings after returning home.
The loss of the highest box office guarantee made the organizing committee quite annoyed, so it also sneered and ridiculed in the promotional photos, but then it was criticized by the fans and had to change the words.
Former champion Hurkacz will receive a first-round bye, while the second-round opponent will be between French veteran Bunch and Shevchenko. The other seeded player in the zone is Italy's Musetti, who will face Hungarian Marosanne, who knocked out Acre at last year's Rome Masters, in the first round.
Former world first. Murray, the first- and three-time Grand Slam champion, also appeared in this area, and I wonder if he can stop the decline since the beginning of the year?
The quarter-finals are led by France's second brother Ember, who is expected to face Shapovalov in the second round. The newly announced marriage of the Spanish blonde Fokina will be seeded as the fifth seed in the first round against homegrown player Baena. The focus of the first round was Finnish brother Rusuvori and teenager Van Ashe.
The three-quarters zone is led by the Russian Thor Khachanov, who will face the winner between the two veterans in the second round. Frenchman Gasquet and Spaniard Agut will put on a "sunset ball".
China's Zhang Zhizhen will rush to the competition after finishing the Davis Cup match, and will face local player Muller in the first round. If they make it through, they will be expected to face seventh seed Aliassime in the second round.
The final zone is led by Bulgarian handsome Dimitrov, who could face Koda, who has fallen in the second round; Last year's other Australian Open quarter-finalist, Czech No. 1 Lechka, is also eyeing this area.
Marseille is the largest port in Europe, and it has always been a tourist destination due to its beautiful scenery. With so many masters pressing the formation this time, there is naturally no shortage of highlights. Let's look forward to the "March of Marseille"! (*Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye).
