Agut is pasting the pusher, Coric. Let's see if this young gun has any fight-back in him at all. :s

Novak's speeding through his service games in a Federesque manner... makes you think he wants to get this one completed today. :snicker.

RBA is very solid, playing some inspired tennis this year. I would be shocked to see Coric coming through.

Coric is up a break in the second. This half of the draw is really falling apart, especially if some of these close matches turn into upsets.

Coric lost 5 games in a row and now RBA is up 2 sets to nil.

Coric just doesn't have the fortitude to be a top player. I fear, like Dimitrov, he may never find it.

Bedene is unraveling as Nole is battling the clock (more than his opponent) to finish before it gets dark.

There are some precocious teenagers who play beyond their age bracket, but then they stop developing and are swallowed by the wave.
I think he needs right coaching to work with him to take him to the next level.
It is very early to predict what will happen. I just know what will not happen. No big champion

Novak with the early break in the third. He's probably got a half hour to finish this before play is called.

I like how Bedene plays at times. He tries very hard, for sure.

Me too, but it must be demoralizing to realize your opponent is playing the clock and not you.

Novak is no dummy he knows his way to the final has been made significantly easier, and the only thing that could mar a lot of players chances here is the weather/match delays. He wanted that match done!

He probably won't be an elite but he could be in the next tier. I think he'll be more consistent than Dimitrov, at worst a stable in the top 20 for half a decade or more, with peaks into the top 10.
