RG - Djokovic always has a chance, best of 5 sets and all.. I would say Alcaraz 50%, Sinner 30%, Djokovic 20%

A "back to normal" week. Alcaraz and Zverev in the final, against seeded opponents.
I give Rune a chance, Shelton much less.

Feels a bit of a fluke for Ben on clay. Zverev has been less than his ranking suggests, so who knows.

Alcaraz losing at home on clay a bit of a surprise.

I have always thought Rune was the most talented player among the outsiders. He just has to get out of his own way mentally, which he did here, crushing Ruud and Kchachanov on his way to the final.

If he keeps it together--a huge if--he has the game to challenge anyone on any surface, no matter how well they are playing.

The way Rune disguises the direction on his FH is quite outstanding.

We will have to keep in mind that Alcaraz took that MTO, and after that, his movement was not the same. But this was a case of not being able to keep up the pace with Carlos.
The ATP needs the third great, young player, and Rune can be the villain in the group. If he can start winning more consistently, we may have a new top group.
