ATP Barcelona and Munich 2026

[Miss_Vee]

Carlos has rushed off from Monte Carlo, to defend another title in Barcelona.  At the bottom of the draw sits Musetti.  Decent field.  Carlos should not have a problem defending this title.  

Poor rich Sasha…lol.  He may win this title, because it’s in his homeland.  At the bottom of this draw is Shelton.  I may watch some of the matches from Barcelona.  Not sure if Munich is being televised here.

Sinner has taken this week off.  Not sure if he is scheduled for Madrid yet, which starts April 22.

Let’s see Missvee, Carlos needs to leave all the outside noises and played tennis, with the game he has he could be done with tennis at 35 and be the GOAT, and young enough to be a f…Boy/man. His lack of 100 percent commitment to tennis is a bit frustrating for us his fans. I know you love sinners tennis and respected his ice demeanor and how he approaches the game, but you know I’m like nadals, he will always have a question mark on his side . Well back to Carlos,I’m really hoping he just doesn’t get content by coming second to sinner in tournaments.thats not a best ever mentality.

Uhh....

[Miss_Vee]

Star…my eyes widened at that F*** boy comment from sugar also….😂😂😂

Where did that com’s from?!?   I’m 🤣 

[Miss_Vee]

sugar, don’t misunderstand me where Carlos is concerned.  I love Carlos’ explosive and exciting tennis.  I’m simply in awe of Sinner’s mostly unshakable mental control and stability.  It’s reminiscent of Bjorn Borg, of whom I was a very big fan back in the day.  I was devastated when he retired at age 26, at the height of his powers, and popularly.

[sugarplum876]

Carlos is a party boy you guys know it 🤩😂 and with that comes lots of F…

[sugarplum876]

Missvee, you are vintage 😂 love it!

[Miss_Vee]

Carlos won today, but is now carrying a small injury.

Shapo finally won a match. Let’s hope that he can win his second match.

[Miss_Vee]

Fils does it again, saves 2 match points to win the third set in Barcelona.

Munich has good matches for tomorrow. Amongst them Tsitsipas vs Maroszan.

Rinderknech vs Fonseca

Blockx vs Shelton

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

Tsitsipas falls again , SMH

Fonseca seems to be back in the groove.

[fedexpress06]

Shelton has the build to hit with such heavy topspin off the forehand.  Literally just needs to hit a big kick serve and huge topspin fh.  Instead, he likes to just flatten out every shot on the fh with such low net clearance.  Time to drop dear father or get outside help.  

I forgot Tsitsipas existed sek.  and miss vee, Carlos should pull out and save for Madrid and rome.  I know Barcelona is in Spain but it's too much tennis. he's not Rafa. 

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

Fedex, I am with you on Shelton. Dad should step aside. 

[fedexpress06]

Ostapenko loves this tournament.  she demolished sabalenka last year here and now has taken the first set vs Andreeva today with 20 winners in the first set.  

[Miss_Vee]

Fedex, I just read that Carlos who had picked up an injury in his first match yesterday, has now withdrawn from Barcelona.  No date of return to the tour.

[fedexpress06]

Smart decision Miss Vee.  Just hope it isn't more serious.  

[sugarplum876]

Needs to heal properly, those foot injuries can linger for a while.

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

Miss_Vee, not to jinx but Shapo is winning some matches.

[Miss_Vee]

Nooooo Sek!  Now you have jinxed him…..😢

I have been quietly holding my breath to see how far he will go.  He turned 27 years old yesterday…April 15th.  He is quietly aging in this sport.  Still has a few years left to pick up more titles.  As long as he is happy with his career.  But we know that he could have had a greater impact on the tour like Stan.

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

Fedex, if your boy loses to Shelton on clay, I am losing trust in him.

[fedexpress06]

The fact he even lost a set on clay to him makes me lose trust 

[sugarplum876]

Hey tennis experts, a question and information, I have a Spaniard friend who told me that in the magazine Mundo Deportivo , was an article about Carlos father, than he is the one behind the scenes making all of his decisions,and how some people fear how he can ruined Carlos career; that he is absolutely very controlling and to some extent is affecting Carlos on court and off court.Any of you has more information about this matter?

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

He probably is but I think that is part of their culture. 

[sugarplum876]

Well it wasn’t with Rafa, Tony knew to stay on his lane, 

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

Fedex, have you watched that young man Rafael Jodar, and if so what are your thoughts? He seems to be moving very well. The serve needs work.

[fedexpress06]

Nothing special.  JCF at best, Nicolas Lapentti more likely.  

[sugarplum876]

Nicolas lapentti? 😂😂😂 fedix 

[fedexpress06]

Sugar it could’ve been far worse.  I could’ve said Juan Ignacio Chela or Nicholas Escude 

[Miss_Vee]

Lol Feddy at Juan Ignacio Chela or Nicolas Escude!  

Sugar, I have been reading since JCF ouster, that it’s Alcaraz Sr, who had been making these major decisions on Carlitos career.  He is the one pushing for all of these exos, because the financial payout is substantial.  It helps tremendously with the cost of running the family’s academy.  It seems that Carlitos did not have the opportunity to sit with JCF, because his father took charge of that insane offer, with no time given to JCF to even consider everything in the contract.  

Carlos is almost 23 years old, and his father controls everything???  When will Carlos Jr, be given a chance to grow up.  This is totally absurd.

[Miss_Vee]

Zverev cannot even reach a final at home.  Wow!  

Shelton and Cobolli are into Munich final

Fils and Rublev play for Barcelona title.  Didn’t see that coming.  

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

Nicolas Escude 🤣🤣

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

Congratulations to Fils and Ben. 

Ben winning a clay title in Europe is not something I was expecting.

[Miss_Vee]

Wait until Ben gets to Roma….lol.  I’m sorry Sek, I used to like Ben.  What the hell happened to that sentiment…lol.  

However I must say that even though I like Fils, I’m not liking the manner in which these younger players are playing this form of brutal tennis.  Of course, the view is mind blowing at times.  However they are really wreaking havoc on their bodies.  The number of injuries on the tours are phenomenal.

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

Miss_Vee, I am with you on the brutal tennis, but it is the way to survive on today's tour. 

Sinner being the number one player and hitting the ball as hard as he does tells you where the tour is going. 

[sugarplum876]

Missvee, very true. Roger should opened a tennis academy and called it feet of clouds.his effortless smooth movement has not matched,but the issue with even Roger flawless technique, the body can’t only take so much damage.these guys are doing what, the technology is offering and some of them just  swing hard  brainless bashing  tenis. So many will have a short lived career 

[sugarplum876]

Missvee, we have heard many stories in tennis where parents ruined their kids future, many did not have the game Carlos possessed, hoping he just tells the dad, I have made you plenty of money, now let me forge my own future . But we foreigners or people of color respect our parents no matter what, we scared🤣

[fedexpress06]

Let go of the umbilical cord and be a man.
