We predicted Bublik and Ostapenko to take titles, and we got it right! But we did not see Shnaider winning in Thailand. This Week in Tennis 6, we talk about Bublik, Ostapenko, and Shnaider winning titles in our latest YouTube video. For this one, let’s have a look at the upcoming tournaments for week 6 in 2024.

Dallas ATP 250
Prize money: $756,020
Prominent players: Tommy Paul, Ben Shelton, Frances Tiafoe, Adrian Mannarino, Christoher Eubanks
Prediction to win: Ben Shelton
We believe Shelton can win the ATP Dallas tournament based on the fast courts, which should benefit his power serve.
Marseille Open 13 ATP 250
Prize money: €724,015
Prominent players: Hubert Hurkacz (defending champ), Grigor Dimitrov, Andy Murray, Karen Khachanov, Ugo Humbert
Prediction: Dimitrov to win
A strong event, the Open 13 Provence, but we think Dimitrov has started this year really well and will keep that momentum going with another ATP 250 title.
Cordoba Open ATP 250
Prize money: $562,345
Prominent players: Francisco Cerundolo, Sebastian Baez, Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Sebastian Ofner
Prediction: Baez to defend last year’s title
We are going on the clay a little early here (the clay season usually starts in April) and home players should rule the tierra batida here. Baez, Cerundolo or Etcheverry? Tough call. We think Baez is the one most at home at Cordoba Open.
Transylvania Open WTA 250
Prize money: $267,082
Prominent players: Arantxa Rus, Tatjana Maria, Anna Blinkova, Elisabetta Cocciaretto, Elina Avanesyan
Prediction: Clara Tauson to win her first WTA title.
This field feels ready and open for a new winner on the tour. Why not Danish talent Clara Tauson?
Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open WTA 500
Prize money: $267,082
Prominent players: Elena Rybakina, Ons Jabeur, Maria Sakkari, Naomi Osaka, Jelena Ostapenko
Prediction: Jelena Ostapenko to keep dominating the WTA tour
This is a STRONG tournament. We are missing Sabalenka and Swiatek; otherwise, it is a star-studded event. Can Rybakina or Jabeur get revenge for their disappointing Australian Opens? Possibly. But we are on the Ostapenko hype train for now.
