"The ATP could have non stupid rules," one wrote.Another commented: "At what point will someone in 2022 go through the rule book and scratch out all the rules that are obviously stupid."It’s very simple, update the damn thing."Opelka broke into the top 20 for the first time in his career with the victory in Dallas, where he did not drop a set.His imperious serve ensured he didn’t even face a break point against Brooksby, whose wait for a first ATP title continues.“I thought I played very well under pressure, especially against a great player like Jenson.
