[GameSetAndMath]

Stepanek vs. Goffin
Muller vs. Milos
Monfils vs. Dolgo

could be interesting. Other than that it is mostly a stale set of matches today.

 

[El Dude]

The young guns are dropping like flies. The entire first half is now in the 3rd round, and Jack Sock (age 23) is the youngest player still standing.

In the lower half, about to playing the 2nd round, we still have Alexander Zverev (19), Frances Tiafoe (almost 19), Yoshihito Nishioka (21), Ernesto Escobedo (20), Hyeon Chung (20), Kyle Edmund (21), as well as slightly older Jordan Thompson (22), Dominic Thiem (23) and Andrew Whittington (23).

One of Tiafoe or Zverev will make it to the third round, but then (probably) face Rafael Nadal. Chung faces Dimitrov, Nishioka faces Baustita Agut, Escobedo faces Ferrer, Whittington has to deal with Ivo, Edmund faces Carreno Busta, and Thiem and Thompson go at it, so a lot of these guys will clear out in the second round. My guess is that, of these players, only Zverev, Escobedo, and Thiem go on, although I could see Thompson upsetting Thiem.

You think Escobedo will beat Ferrer?

Jack is 24, same age as Bernie.

 

[El Dude]

I stand corrected. Again. herios, are you an accountant or something similar? You are the master of precision .

Yes, I was accountant at one point in my career

 

[Carol]

Dimitrov- Chung fighting in the third set after to win one set each one, interesting

 

[herios]

Easy wins in 3 sets today for Simon, Gasquet, Kohli, Carreno-Busta

 

[Carol]

Ferru 4-2 second set

 

[Carol]

Wow, it was an eternal first game Novak-Istomin

 

[Carol]

Istomin is far to have the good legs as Novak has :cover
And Raonic in on fire

 

[herios]

Wow, it was an eternal first game Novak-Istomin

16 minutes

 

[Fiero425]

Wow, it was an eternal first game Novak-Istomin

[herios]

Milos started the match later a few minutes than Novak and is already up 2 sets, while Novak is still not done with his first.

Well he is now; might be done period if he doesn't get his act together! Lost TB with a set point! :angel: :cover

[GameSetAndMath]

Istomin playing too good. Those two back to back forehand service return winners were a thing of beauty.

Also, Istomin's serve is very good.

Tomorrow after I get back from work, I plan to see the fifth set between them live.

 

[El Dude]

But Novak has an easy draw? Anyhow, a question for Novak fans: Even if he pulls out the win against Istomin, are you a bit worried? Tied two sets a piece with the #119 player in the world...and Novak has NEVER lost a Slam match to a player ranked outside the top 100.

El Dude, I talked about that after his 1st match. Novak seems edgy or missing a lot of routine shots. It might not matter if he wins but it seems rather interesting to see from him.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Wow! Istomin with a break of serve in the 5th set! What is happening to Djokovic?!
