Hamburg European Open Final 2020: The 34-year-old needs one more Slam to equal Roger Federer’s record of 20, but the great Spaniard’s mood was as dark as the Paris skies as he addressed the media two days out from the start of the season’s concluding major.”The conditions here are probably the most difficult conditions for me ever at Roland Garros for so many different facts,” said the world number two.”The ball is completely different. It is super slow, heavy. It’s also very cold, slow conditions.”And of course, the preparation has been less than usual.”

Accidentally hitting a ballgirl is never good. How Alexander Bublik reacted to doing so on Tuesday showed a touch of class.The Kazakh turned a tough situation into the nicest moment of the match after hitting his 17th ace on match point in his 6-2, 7-6(5) first-round victory against Albert Ramos-Vinolas at the Hamburg European Open. The 23-year-old rushed to the other side of the court to check on the ballgirl. Upon learning she was not seriously hurt, Bublik spoke to her for a moment and offered a match ball and a fist bump as a token of gratitude for her efforts.

Bublik will continue his run in Germany on Wednesday when he plays #NextGenATP Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime. This will be their second ATP Head2Head meeting. Felix won their first battle at last year’s Rolex Shanghai Masters.The ATP Tour heads to Germany this week for the Hamburg European Open, an ATP 500 event.

Three former singles champions are in the draw, which includes four of the Top 10 players in the FedEx ATP Rankings. ATPTour.com looks at 10 things to watch at the clay-court tournament.Fifth seed Andrey Rublev brought his ‘A’ game to the table in the quarterfinal match against fourth seed Roberto Bautista Agut on Friday, registering an impressive 6-2, 7-5 win. He will now take on Casper Ruud of Norway for a place in the final.

Rublev had also performed very well against Tennys Sandgren earlier in the week, although he did have to dig deep to beat Tommy Paul in the pre-quarterfinals. The Russian has been on the money for most of 2020, with a win-loss record of 23-6.Rublev had made it to the US Open quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows last month, but couldn’t get past his compatriot Daniil Medvedev. Before the COVID-19 break the 22-year-old had won the Adelaide International, and during the suspension he had triumphed at the ‘Thiem’s 7’ event in Kitzbuhel.

Rublev’s next opponent in Hamburg, the unseeded Norwegian Casper Ruud, has performed exceptionally well in the claycourt season so far. He upset Karen Khachanov and Matteo Berrettini on his way to the Italian Open semifinals last week, where he gave World No. 1 Novak Djokovic all he could handle.At the ongoing Hamburg Open, Ruud has put up strong showings against Benoit Paire, sixth seed Fabio Fognini and Ugo Humbert. The 2020 Argentina Open winner will be keen to make it to the final in Germany and secure his second title of the season.

It goes without saying though that Ruud will have to play his absolute best tennis to down the in-form Rublev.Although Casper Ruud has a ton of momentum by his side, he will have a hard time overcoming the challenge of Andrey Rublev on Saturday. The Russian looked in magnificent touch against Bautista Agut; his forehand and ground game overall were absolutely on fire as he hammered 30 winners to just 18 unforced errors.

Ruud plays a heavy topspin-oriented game from behind the baseline, which is particularly suited to slow surfaces. The Norwegian has a powerful forehand too, but that wing might be put under pressure by Rublev’s even pacier version of the shot.

The match might come down to who takes more risks and uses his strengths better, and right now Rublev is looking slightly ahead in both those aspects.French third seed Gael Monfils suffered a first-round defeat in straight sets on Tuesday to German wildcard Yannick Hanfmann at the ATP tournament in Hamburg.Monfils, ranked ninth in the world, lost 6-4, 6-3 to World No 103 Hanfmann, who had never beaten a top-10 player before.The 28-year-old German will face Chile’s Cristian Garin in the next round.

Russia’s Daniil Medvedev, the top seed in Hamburg who reached the semi-finals of this month’s US Open, faces Ugo Humbert of France in the first round later on Tuesday.Andreescu, who beat Serena Williams at Flushing Meadows 12 months ago to become Canada’s first Grand Slam singles champion, has not played a match since hurting her knee last October at the WTA Finals in Shenzhen.Barty proved she has what it takes on a course designed by Greg Norman, claiming the Brookwater Golf Club women’s title near Brisbane with a commanding 7 and 5 triumph in the matchplay final.

Victoria Azarenka is welcoming the challenge of trying to back up her run to the US Open final with another strong showing at Roland Garros despite just three wins in Paris over the past seven years.The Belarusian’s career had nosedived after injury and then a custody battle of her son, but the former world number one showed in New York she was far from finished at Grand Slam level.

Her loss to Naomi Osaka was her third US Open final defeat, but also marked her first appearance in a Grand Slam championship match since the second of back-to-back losses to Serena Williams at Flushing Meadows in 2013.Azarenka, a two-time Australian Open champion, credited increased maturity for her resurgence and sounded enthusiastic about her French Open prospects.

“I feel like especially from last year, I felt that I finally start to kind of finding my rhythm, actually enjoying myself playing on clay, sliding, instead of cussing the clay out every single time I play on it,” Azarenka, 31, told reporters on Friday.”I feel like I enjoy better, I adjust better. I think it’s going to be a lot about adaptation from day-to-day.”I’m actually excited to kind of build up my game on clay. The second year I enjoy it after 16 years on tour. I’m looking forward to it.”Azarenka’s best performance in the French capital came when she reached the last four in 2013, losing in three sets to Maria Sharapova.

In four appearances since, she has not advanced beyond the third round and twice lost her opening match.Of Azarenka’s 21 career titles, just the one — at the short-lived Andalucia Tennis Experience in 2011 — has come on clay.”I hated clay. I hated everything about it. The shitty bounces, the sliding that I can’t stop. The ball bounce here and everything,” said a grinning Azarenka.”Ask me what I could not complain about when I used to play, so…I guess (that’s) growth.”The world number 14 opens against Montenegro’s Danka Kovinic, and could meet 40-year-old Venus Williams in round two.

Azarenka, seeded 10th, is also on course to meet old rival and close friend Serena Williams in the last 16, just weeks after she beat the 23-time Grand Slam winner in their US Open semi-final.”I think the focus is what can I do best to perform here. It’s going to be a lot about adjustment,” said Azarenka, with gusting winds and overcast conditions expected to start the tournament.”I played today for the first time on the courts here after it rained. It’s very different. The court feels really, really heavy.

“It’s not going to be like a normal Roland Garros where the ball bounces high and the court gets faster. I feel like it’s going to be something different. I feel like it’s going to be day-to-day adjustment. I think more than ever it’s going to be about day to day.”Rafael Nadal admitted Friday that he faces his “most difficult ever Roland Garros” as he prepares for an assault on a 13th French Open title.

Nadal, who won his first French Open 15 years ago and has been beaten just twice in 95 matches at the tournament, arrives in a chilly and damp Paris worryingly under-cooked.He skipped the defence of his US Open title for fears over the coronavirus and played just three matches on clay in Rome last week where he exited in the quarter-finals.That was his first tournament since February and he now faces the prospect of playing a French Open pushed back four months from its traditional May-June slot.

The early summer heat and quick conditions, in which he thrives, have been replaced by rain, wind, autumn chill and even a brief deluge of hailstones on Friday.Nadal is seeded to face world number one Novak Djokovic in the final.The Serb is one of only two men to have beaten the Spaniard in Paris in 15 years.However, Nadal still holds a 6-1 advantage over the 2016 champion, and 17-time major winner, at Roland Garros.

Djokovic arrives in Paris with a 31-1 record in 2020 — his only ‘loss’ coming via default at the US Open.He also claimed the Italian Open title at the weekend for a record 36th Masters crown, passing Nadal on the all-time list.Djokovic hinted that this year chttp://www.nwsaalumni.net/event/ppvufc-253-live-stream-watch-full-fight-free-onlineould see Nadal dethroned as champion at Roland Garros.”Yeah, 100 percent true,” admitted Nadal. “I always have been beatable on clay. He beat me a lot of times.

“But at the same time it is true that I had a lot of success on this surface.”Nadal will begin his 2020 French Open campaign on Monday against Egor Gerasimov, the 83rd-ranked Belarusian.Should he make it as far as the semi-finals, he is seeded to face Austria’s Dominic Thiem who he has beaten in the last two Roland Garros finals.However, Thiem arrives in the French capital buoyed by capturing his maiden Grand Slam title at the US Open.
