With a healthy Murray it's a close call.

Otherwise, Group 1.

Keep wanting to say group 1 but gotta go 2

Fed finding his feet against a vet like that expected. Grass king always finds a way. Can't wait for Wimby.

I say group 1. All those dudes in group 2 are too old, too injured. I would say Novak and Wawrinka did almost tempt me to their group though. I could see Wawrinka having an Agassi-like comeback for one last title.

But that being said, I choose the Youngs.

I hope its the youngs. I hope they step up. As much as I love Fed/Nadal/Djok, I want to look forward to tennis, and they just keep disappointing

Yea like, Cilic and DelPo are the youngest current slam winners, and both turn 30 in September. That's ridiculous (and surely completely unprecedented?)

Kyrgios vs Fed at 5-5 in the first now. Stuttgart grass tourney.

Nice matchup for a 250 level tourney.

Kyrgios takes the tiebreak. That surprised me.

The kid is playing well today. Let's see if he can avoid the level drop in play and mental toughness he usually succumbs to.

At 1-1 in the second, Krygios double faults twice in a row to get broke.

2-1 Fed, Fed about to serve.

Murray / Kyrgios right now somewhere. Krygios mid-tank in the second.

The announcers are actively calling him out.

...and now he's up after a series of breaks back and forth...

...but then he was serving at 4-3, 40-15 and ended up getting broke.

4-4 Murray serving now.

lol men's tennis.
