https://twitter.com/bgtennisnation/status/1190656533656260608 All laughing aside, this sucks for the tournament, and the sport in general. I had pricey tickets to the 2019 Indian Wells SFs, where I would have seen Federer v Nadal. Nadal pulled-out of that. Some don't count these retirements in the H2H numbers; I'm sure Rafa is one such statistician/historian. It's a loss. …

Paris Quarter Finals
The two top seeds will be tested today. Djokovic v Tsitsipas and Nadal v Tsonga. I'm rooting for the two one-handers in the other two QF matches, hoping to see Dimitrov and Shapovalov advance.

Andy Murray v Novak Djokovic
Murray made the finals in Paris (and is in the process of beating John Isner), putting himself into position to claim his 3rd Masters of the year, seventh ATP title overall. Djokovic lost to Cilic in the QF, so he's no longer #1 in the world (Novak had to make the finals to maintain his #1 ranking). Novak …
