Good afternoon, good evening, good morning, whatever time it is in the world. Wherever you are tuning in. From, I'm coming at you from Bonn in Western Germany, where we have the fifth slam taking place. The t-shirts are out once again where it's got Melbourne, Paris, London, Bonn, New York. This year, they've changed the design. So last year, Bonn was fifth on the list, but they've either elevated it to fourth in terms of importance, or maybe they've just gone with the calendar on the t-shirts. Listen, Bonn aside, there'll be plenty more Bonn stuff to come throughout the weeks. I do make sure you tune in for that. Let's reflect first, first of all, Fergus, it's a bit of a mouthful, on Luca Van Assche winning in Estoril.
**Lloyd Harris** (3:12)
Big surprise? I mean, yes, definitely a big surprise.
Van Assche has been around for a couple years now, but he's kind of been lingering on that like 120, 90 mark between that. And this week, it's sort of just everything came together as it so often does. There came through a couple really, really close encounters. And Van Assche has always had the feels like he's had the ability from the ground and to kind of produce, not such a week like this, but to prod and poke players ranked 40, 50, 60 And, you know, that final versus Blocks was super. I'm surprised Blocks actually managed to compete for as long as he did, considering he had about 72 million hours on court this week. But just looking at that, looking at that win over Rublev, we can all talk about, we can always look at it from the Rublev perspective of things, you know, just like should never be losing to Luke Van Assche.
But, you know, you have to give Luke her credit where it's deserved. And for him, he's still a very young player. I think he's only 20 Is he 20?
**Jasmine Paolini** (4:39)
Something like that. Maybe 21 is going to check his age now. I mean, I saw the... We'll come into... I do want to elaborate a little bit on Rublev, but we'll do that in five minutes or so when we look at some of the other participants. Van Assche deserved that win.
In sets two and three, he had the intensity that Andre lacked in that particular encounter. It's arguably, from Luca's perspective, also a tournament-defining win in so many ways. But he had only one straight sets match all week, and even that was four and five against Gaston.
