Opelka makes (a bit of) history on its comeback!

What a comeback!

After not having played a single round on the main circuit for two years, Reilly Opelka is making a crazy return to competition.

Registered with Newport, the American has become the lowest-ranked player in history to reach the semi-finals of an ATP tournament.

Ranked 1188th this week, he dislodges Juan Martin Del Potro, who reached the semi-finals at Delray Beach (2016) when he was ranked 1042nd.

The American giant's impressive string of victories includes wins over Lestienne (6-1, 2-6, 7-6), Mannarino (6-4, 3-6, 6-4) and McDonald (4-6, 6-3, 6-4).

For a place in the final, he faces Alex Michelsen, ranked 61st in the world, this Saturday.

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
