Zverev vs Rublev ..Rublev has already qualified for Turin, maybe he won't be so motivated .otherwise an intriguing match-up ..Zverev is normally the better player by far but maybe not this year ..?

I'm surprised that Vienna and Basel attract so little attention on this forum. The match-ups are quite juicy and high quality.

Everyone,including the players, have tuned out... Except the couple of players who can still qualify for Turin..

For me it's a time zone thing. Tournament play happens during the day in North America, and is over by the time I get home from work. Hopefully will get the chance to watch this weekend.

I'm on a boat floating off the coast of S. America. Can barely get to the forum (and pulling 14 hours' days ).
So, can't watch anything.
But you are correct. These may be 500 tournaments, but they do have a lot of tradition going on.

"tuned out"? I do not agree. Vienna semis most likely (if Sinners wins) will sport #3 vs #6 and #4 vs #5 of ATP ranking. I think this is pretty impressive for any tournament.
