6 of the top 10 in their first match in Rome with just the top 3 and Rhodes going on. The top 3 made the semis where Perez sneaked an undeserved win this time over Meiklejohn. Then he faced,Perez. His cousin who started outside the top 32 this year and beat him in Monte Carlo. Second year in a row he has faced on unseeded player in the Rome finals. Lucas beat Hart in the semi finals, the first competition this year Hart has not made the finals.
Lucas Perez was very tired from his unexpected success recently and Nicolas Perez was able to grab his 3rdmasters shield! Lucas Perez now has a masters semi final and final on clay(and skipped Madrid due to tiredness and starting the year outside the top 30. Impressive haul.
With Meiklejohn making the semi final he is still 3rd but only by 50 points so it could change in the French. And if not Meiklejohn has a lot of points to defend in Wimbledon.
So going into the French, Hart is the defending champ, Perez has two clay masters this year, Meiklejohn as 1and there are plenty of players playing spoiler so it should be fun.
Molyneaux seems to be on a dip. All the mandatory competitions have been terrible for him (though Monte Carlo was effectively a mandatory this year and he did fine there). Still his ranking may start to drop soon.
