    Seriously impressed by Zverev. How he handled the hostile crowd, how he took away all of Humberts powers, how composed and focused he looked, and how humble he was in victory. Great speech too.
    Had written of the season end because of his health struggles but wow, he showed us what he can do when he is feeling well and confident.

    Gill, the difference between that Draper incident is that he was genuinely apologetic, on court at the time of the incident, and after, where Humbert looked like he didn't understand what he did wrong. I have always been Humbert 's fan, but his behavior towards Khachanov put such a sour taste in my mouth. Hopefully he does better next time.
    Big congrats to Zverev, played pretty much perfect match, under pressure of being a favorite, with 99.9 crowd against him. He found his best tennis towards the end of the tournament and silenced the French crowd!😁

    I enjoyed the Paris Masters Final, because it gave me 2019 Tampa Bay Lightning vibes where the Tampa fans were completely silenced as their historically great team got swept by the Columbus Blue Jackets. I've been to Humbert's hometown and that part of France is actually my favorite part of France even though one of my relatives was killed there at the end of WWI in the Battle of the Meuse-Argonne. I'm curious to see how well Alex Michelsen does in the Moselle Open in Humbert's hometown this week.

    Arthur Fils has the game to be a top 5 and certainly top 10 next year. He's up there with Shelton and Rune for me and is perhaps ahead of them in terms of consistency . I thought he was a clay court specialist, but he has done well in hard courts and even indoor courts recently and that suggests he can have success all year long. Arthur Fils was the toughest opponent Zverev faced in Paris last week.

      Yes, I wanted to ask the same. I've never played on any of these courts, obviously, never played on grass in my life and I understand there obviously must be the difference between Bercy and Wimbledon. But there are 2 main similarities right now: quickness of the court and low bounce. Maybe Alcaraz wasn't at his best in Bercy like he wasn't at Queens this year when Draper beaten him? Also Humbert gave him a challenge at Wimbledon. So maybe it's similar and just few details decided that Alcaraz lost this time? (slightly off form, Humbert so pumped) But - interestingly - Alcaraz never complained that Queens or Wimbledon are too fast. Like he did in Turin last year and at Bery this year. Why?

    I hope Ruud and De Minaur make it, along with Djokovic. I hope we don't have to be subjected to Andre Rublev.🩸 Tennis Channel needs to have a "Viewer Discretion" warning before his matches. Really. Why won't they? They know what he's going to do.
