Tours around the world are still in full swing. In August, the year's final Grand Slam will be the U.S. Open.
The top 20 players in the world are undoubtedly the strongest contenders for Grand Slam titles. So what are THE 250 men's SINGLES finals that have taken place between the top 20 so far this season? The answer is six. And look:
Buenos Aires: No.8 Rood Def No.15 Schwartzman
At the Buenos Aires tournament earlier this year, the two clay masters faced each other. In the end, it was Rood of Norway, the king of the modern 250, who outmanoeuvred the shorty Schwarzman of his native land.
Marseille: No.7 Lublev Def No.9 Ariachim
Marseille has traditionally been a place where players gather for the tour, thanks to its location and stunning scenery.
In history, Medvedev, Tisippas and so on have won here. In this year's event, Lublev defeated Aliassim, who still suffered a bitter defeat in the final
De La Beach: No.13 Nori Def No.20 Opelka
Norrie's form fluctuated slightly after winning the Indian Wells Masters last year, until this tournament, the revival of style.
In the face of the American little giant Opelka, Norrie played better, laughing the winner.
Belgrade: No.8 Lublev Def No.1 Djokovic
It was only the second 250 final to happen in the world's top 10, and Lublev even sent an egg to the native king.
Fortunately, Djokovic did not mind, in the post-match interview directly invited Lublev to play again next year.
Mallorca: No.6 Tisippas Def No.20 Bautista Agut
Agut, who reached the last four at Wimbledon three years ago, is arguably better on grass than Sisypath. But the Greek came into the tournament in fine form, winning his first career title on grass.
Gastard: No.5 Rood DEF No.15 Beretini
Rood fought his way back from a deficit to defend his reputation as the king of the 250.
Overall, five of the six matches were won by the higher-ranked team, with the exception of Djokovic versus Lublev.
It seems that each actively training for the United States Open, or ranking and seed pick higher, is more secure!
