All events are being played indoors, which is the case for most now until the seasons end. In Sofia, Humbert bagged a confidence boosting win. Two weeks ago he clinched a challenger, so he's creeping back to form. Ivashka is looking very consistent and has a game well matched to the surface. Rune could also have a strong week.
In Tel Aviv, Lestienne and Safuillin are making a seamless step up to Tour level. The awful post win run for Mannarino continues. Cressy remains very solid and will be hard to beat this week.
