A useful rule of thumb is- if you are one of the 3 best players in the draw, you can win..some random thing can always happen..
On the men's side, the 3 best players are Djokovic, Nadal and Berrettini
On the women's, it is Swiatek, Halep and Andreescu
How is the '3 best,' determined? Only by informed judgment, unfortunately.

You were asking about what Tsitsipas has ever done on grass, and you were right that his record on the surface was underwhelming.
But he is in the finals of Mallorca. I am not saying he will win (I think Novak has this) but don't count him out either.

This was taken at the Hurlingham exhibition on June 23.

It is not so much his record I don't think much of..it is his game- that heavy topspin doesn't really help, it seems a bit different from Nadal's, who is able to push people back with it...

Even though I did name Berrettini a contender, I can't imagine how he can beat someone like Djokovic with that really poor backhand.someone else will have to beat Djokovic on the way to the finals for B to win..

He got a set off Novak with it in the final last year.

I agree that the BH is his less stellar shot. But he can defend with it, albeit not as well as Novak, with the slice. It floats a bit too much but it can work on grass.
Anyway, I say that if you win two grass events prior to the big one, you have done more than most others to get a mention in the "possible winners" conversation.

I guess there is no possible way to argue the point.
