–

This is a challenging week. Because with a major a week away, most of the top players don’t play.

And some who do, the minute they feel a little niggle, they pull the plug.

So it’s a good opportunity for others, lower-ranked but still in the AO main draw, to make some noise.

Well, probably not Benoit Paire. But you get the gist.
