Tsonga just won his first match in 16 months against Lopez who surprisingly has never beat him. Tsonga leads the h2h 6-0 now.

Thanks Front .darn it. I was too busy yesterday at work to see the match..I will go search for it on YouTube. This is a good win for JoWillieTs over Feliz..Feliz Still has the smoothest service delivery in the game today. Too bad he has NEVER made it too the last weekend of a GS. His service is on of the most difficult Ever to read.

Definitely. It brings the returner out so wide.

Nice one. Just gonna watch highlights now. Still think he'll lose his next match. If he wins it, he'll surprise me.

 

[Front242]

Nicely done by Roger. Looked like a good match. Great backhand down the line on match point. Fun fact, his first match back in 2017 after the first knee surgery was also against Dan Evans.

I always felt Feli was one of those "pretty picture" serve players. That BH was always a weakness, though, so 3 QTR final appearances at Wimbledon sounds just about right, though in a perfect storm he might have snuck in a SF. IIRC One year he played Safin very tight in a QF and that seemed to have been his best shot.

This comment was made before I saw his next oppoent is Basilashvili. Roger will likely win this easily. I thought he was due to play Coric next but he's not even playing here. Could've sworn I read some link saying he was playing here.

The year he won Queens was his peak grass performance I reckon and, yeah, his BH was never great and let him down and was a deciding factor in him not advancing further in the big events.

If someone can understand the language (lol) but she says that Nadal could play in Dubai with a wildcard. I'm not sure about it but I know he is doing a lot of bicycle in the mountain with his physio who says its the best exercise for the joints and the back

I don't watch these glorified exhibitions much, but I seem to recall Dubai has a very fast court! WHY would going there do him any good?

LOL! First time I have ever seen him riding a bike.

Federer lost today after having match point. I guess some things never change.
