Lexis presents tennis on Sky Sports. Starting on Sunday. Yesterday at lunchtime we saw the results of the draw. Is there anyone you think can challenge Carlos Alcaraz? I mean, when he plays like he does in Paris in the hall, I think he's almost unbeatable. At the same time, I think Sasha Zverev will try to end the season on a high note. He is the world's number one. He has already won this tournament, so he knows how to play well indoors; when his serve is working he is hard to beat, but Carlos' game in Paris just gave me the biggest smile. I thought, "Yes, he's playing his best tennis again." I really liked it.
Why don't we take a look at the grid, because, apart from the top two seeds, absolutely everyone has a chance of reaching the semifinals. So, John McEnroe's group includes the top seed Alexander Zverev, followed by Ben Shelton, Arthur Fiss, and the last qualified player-Rafa Nadal. Oh, great chances for any of them, maybe Ben Shelton in the room, but let's look at Lendl's group, where Carlos Alcaraz is the second seed, there's also Daniil Medvedev, Korda and Tiafoe. I almost wanted to say I think another group. Yeah, thanks, Case. It just seems to me that you have Carlos, who obviously just won Paris.
You have Ben, who was just in the final in Paris. And the US Open final. I mean, it seems to me that when you have Zverev, the world number one, there's a finalist, and then there's Korda, who was ranked 100th and. Yeah. Somewhere around 60 at the beginning of the year, and already in the finals. He's having an incredible year. It just seems to me that. And Arthur Fees can always be dangerous too. The Fis, I mean, won Cincinnati in incredible style. So it seems to me that the difference between all these players is much smaller, compared to the other group, where Carlos looks a little more dominant.
I think the fight for second place will be close, but in the other group, first and second places will be more open to competition. So, you don't see any chance of a surprise from Cobolli or your favorite Francis Tiafoe? Look, I'm rooting for Francis to create a sensation, of course, always. But Ben is also my boyfriend, and he plays amazing tennis. So, I really think it's going to be.I mean, again, we're talking about the final tournament of the year. We're talking about the top eight. Everyone will play incredible tennis. I hope Francis can make some big noises so that I get some very interesting voice messages and video calls. But I.I think both groups are pretty strong, but I agree with
Marion. I think the first group is a little stronger. Oh, and we'll also see a page as we can all get us a part you can get us a part. I thought she was my friend and would agree with me, but apparently not. And we'll also see Juan Carlos Ferrero with Ben Shelton. This will be an interesting dynamic. Yes, very fun
