I think some people are too harsh on Shelton. He didn’t turn pro until he was almost 20. And now a year and a half later he’s won a 500 and been in a slam QF and SF. He’s made immense progress and it’s acknowledged here by Mannarino.

I’m going to be attending the Davis Cup qualifier between Korea 🇰🇷 and Belgium 🇧🇪 in Seoul this weekend. With Kwon starting the year strong with his title win in Adelaide and Goffin having just won a Challenger title in Belgium, I think we could be in for an exciting tie.

No. 175 Wu Tung-Lin 🇹🇼 defeats no. 46 Alexander Bublik 🇰🇿 6-4 6-4 to progress to the second round in Indian Wells and achieve surely the biggest win of his career. This is not only Wu's first ATP Masters 1000 victory but also his first win at an ATP Tour event!

Kwon told me today that he intends to use his protected ranking to try to play the Olympics, a last chance at avoiding the army, even if a small chance. He also said upon returning from his year and a half in the army he’d like to keep playing tennis for another 10 years!

More bad news for Kwon Soonwoo. He just posted on IG that he suffered an ankle injury so won't be able to compete at the Olympics.

NADAL is out of AO but India’s finest Sumit NAGAL 🇮🇳 makes it through to the main draw, defeating Molcan 6-4 6-4! Struggling physically at the end, it was a great effort from him to see it out. What a qualifying campaign for him. He’s into his first slam since 2020 US Open

So some good news. It seems the Korea Open will go ahead. Unfortunately the tournament will not be open to spectators. This will be the first WTA tournament held in East Asia since the start of the pandemic.

🇯🇵 Moyuka Uchijima qualifies for her first French Open and doesn't she deserve it? She's just won her 18th consecutive match, defeating Raluca Georgiana Serban 7-5, 6-4
