• Alexei Popyrin's good form just ended

    From Kalevi Kolttonen@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 14 20:32:57 2024
    Hello!

    Yeah, well, Alexei Popyrin surprised everybody
    by winning Montreal ATP1000 tournament. His
    good form did not last for long: He just lost
    to Gael Monfils in straight sets in Cincinnati
    ATP1000. First round.

    I did not see the match, but the loss seems to
    be pretty pathetic. Monfils is old as hell,
    after all, and should not have won.

    Did anyone watch this match? Was Monfils in
    great form or did Popyrin blow it? Or something
    else?

    I didn't see it but I would assume he is gassed from Montreal. He played
    a lot there in a very short time span.
