Can't see Alcaraz on Sinner playing but great if Jack Draper is fit enough to play

[Stell]

Well done to Jack Draper, who qualified for it on Wednesday in his second round three set loss against Hubert Hurkacz in Antwerp.

Rune now has the option of being a reserve for the Turin contest now he has won Paris. Commies were wondering if he will play in Milan.

Rune now has the option of being a reserve for the Milan contest now he has won Paris. Commies were wondering if he will play in Turin.

Think it is the other way round. 2 Italians are in the next two positions in the Next Gen Race

[themass15]

As expected Rune has pulled out of Milan

[cazza99]

I wonder if they will reshuffle the groups or just add the first reserve into Rune's group. If the latter it would mean Jack Draper is in the hardest group.

[themass15]

As far as I am aware the reserve has been added to the Green Group

[cazza99]

Arnaldi, an Italian, is replacing Rune in the Green Group.

ATP (https://www.nextgenatpfinals.com/en/news/milan-2022-scouting-report) - Milan 2022 scouting report


1) Innovation Station: As it has done since the inaugural edition five years ago, the Intesa Sanpaolo Next Gen ATP Finals will once again introduce new innovations and rules for 2022. While the pioneering match format of best-of-five first-to-four-games sets remains, many of this year’s changes are designed to enhance the flow of the game.

They include a quicker shot clock, with the time in-between points shortened to 15 seconds (from the standard 25 seconds) if the server hits an ace, a double fault or if the returner misses the return through forced or unforced error. Other rule additions include a reduction to just one sit-down per set and three-minute warm-ups, while the TennisViz system, in partnership with Tennis Data Innovations, will provide match analysis information directly to coaches for them to use during a match.

[cazza99]

Well done to Jack Draper for beating Musetti in 3 sets. He now goes forward to the semis playing Nakashima.

[cazza99]

oop for Friday - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/intesa-sanpaolo-next-gen-atp-finals/7696/daily-schedule

Brandon Nakashima vs Jack Draper not before 8.00 pm

[suttontennis]

sort of gone under the radar this week with the BJK taking centre stage. But Jack's achievement in reaching the SF shouldn't be overlooked and he stands a good chance of making the finals, although Nakashima is unbeaten this week.

[cazza99]

Yes, Jack has done very well. He was in the hardest group by far after Rune dropped out the other one.

[cazza99]

Lehecka has beaten Stricker (who has been the star of the week so far) and will play the winner of Jack and Nakashima in the final.

Jack vs Nakashima up at 8.00 pm.

[cazza99]

oop for Saturday - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/intesa-sanpaolo-next-gen-atp-finals/7696/daily-schedule?day=5

final is at 8.00 pm

[exislander]

Jack played well although he lost to Nakashima. Both players have had a very good year.

[cazza99]

Really strange, that although Jack's group was a stronger group that the final is between two players from the other group.

[themass15]

I would liked to have seen Jack and Lorenzo Musetti in the final
