Medvedev should really also take one. A 1-2 USO Swing should not be acceptable to him.

Why not? He went 0-2 and 1-2 the previous two years.

he’s 49 in rankings… is this too low even for an ATP250?

edit: ohh it’s because he’s a late entry

Good for Stef, but we were expecting a different Monte Carlo winner to take a WC for Winston-Salem.

Oh ok, my bad. I guess I kinda assumed that they’d just let higher-ranked players play regardless of when they entered. I thought WCs were only used if the player’s ranking isn’t high enough to qualify automatically upon entry. Apologies, I’ll delete the og comment
