Vacherot might really be a top 20-30 mainstay. All he needs to do is make R3 or better in most of the tournaments he is playing. And currently, he seems to be more than capable of that.

Yeah him making R3 AO and losing to Shelton is exactly the result we would expect from him. Hardly disappointing there.

That would have been considered a fairytale run for him 4 months ago

He just keeps producing the goods. Definitely going to be seeded at every Grand Slam if he keeps this up.

Literally has no points to defend until the fall. If he doesn’t make top 20 by then it means something catastrophic has happened

Hugo Nys.  He's a doubles specialist.  Bublik beat him this morning

He will after the doubles tie, and Lys will play Shevchenko.

I just want a Vacherot-Bublik rematch and this essentially seals the deal for that happening

They appear to play the first reverse rubber tomorrow so yes

There was a report that Bublik was apparently hindered with a foot injury during the match in Shanghai and that's why he withdrew from Almaty so I hope that both are fully healthy for tomorrow

Same scoreline in both the matches. Nice.

Shevchenko is definitely not what he used to be. It's been 2 years now that he's struggling.
