Mallorca Championships: Stefanos Tsitsipas troubles, Farewell Feliciano Lopez, Wimbledon hints - Three takeaways

Rafael Nadal, Carlos Moya and Marc Lopez all made an appearance as Spanish veteran Feliciano Lopez bowed out of what was billed as his final ever competitive singles tournament at the Mallorca Championships. Paul Hassall went along to take in the pre-Wimbledon grass event in Santa Ponsa, Calvia that proved to be a competition of emotion and shocks.

Three takeaways from Mallorca Ad Tsitsipas has found a (romantic) spark off the court – but does he now need one on it? WimbledonAlcaraz 'one of the most talented players I have ever seen' — TsitsipasYESTERDAY AT 21:52 Stefanos Tsitsipas currently sits No.4 in the ATP race, reached this year’s Australian Open final and made the last eight at Roland Garros — so why is there a persistent, nagging feeling that the World No.5 is missing something crucial in his attempt to take the next big step forward in his career? A shock early exit has become a worryingly common occurrence in recent weeks for the Greek and his defeat in Mallorca means he heads to Wimbledon with plenty of question marks over whether he is a realistic contender for the title despite being fifth seed in SW19. If we rewind slightly, Tsitsipas followed up his impressive run Down Under with an underwhelming sunshine swing but regrouped courtesy of some solid results on clay – a surface many regard as his best shot at regular silverware — reaching the quarter finals in Monte Carlo, Madrid and the French Open as well as the final in Barcelona and the last four in Rome.
