I agree Rublev is a pusher dosen't really had any tools Zverev and Tsitsipas are decent but still lack mental strengt. Medvedev probably the better but is appalling on Clay. I like Berrettini but again not sure he has the mental strength.

Then the even younger ones Auger-Aliassime, Korda and Sinner are still too way inconsistent.

Shapovalov and Ruud will likely be top 10 but have too many lapses.

The contrast of serve and volley coupled with the difference in temprement made jp v Borg fantastic

I agree that JP v Borg were brilliant matches, but seeing his antics against other players wasn't so....

Apparently the guy that replaced Kyrgios after he withdrew 10 mins before the start of his match didnt get payed due to the archaic rules. Imagine agreeing to help the tournament not lose its center court match on 10 mins notice and not getting a penny in compensation.
