Command Analysis
Berankis made his way to the main draw of the Halle Open through qualification: Ricardas confidently won both matches. First, the representative of Lithuania passed Cedric Stebe, who withdrew from the competition, and then Berankis beat the Austrian Dennis Novak in two sets (6-4, 6-3). On grass, Berankis feels much better than on clay, so his stats will surely improve in the near future.
Nishikori is now in optimal form. Kei played well at Roland Garros, where he managed to reach the fourth round of the competition.
