2022 ATP General News

I missed this afternoon's tennis, but so happy for Coric. Hurkacz another challenge, but we'll see. It would be great to see Coric back in the real mix. Thiem went down to Medvedev today, which is not a great surprise, but he does seem to be gaining back his form and confidence. Another one on the comeback trail is Stan, who won in Basel today. I don't expect him to threaten for Majors anymore, but he's a dangerous player, if he finds something like his old form.

Well, you can’t really use this tournament as a gauge, since neither Nadal nor Djokovic are there, but it is refreshing to look forward to another Medvedev/Sinner encounter. Evans/Shapo could be good too. And I can’t wait to see if Coric can keep this form up. He’s looking like the guy who won the Cincinnati Masters. I hope @don_fabio has been watching.

I've been stuck in a floating cage for the past 3 months, but I'm flying home tomorrow and hope to watch some tennis for what remains of this season. I need to change my cable provider ASAP, because I ended up without tennis channels at all. Tired a bit of free internet streams for the past 2 years.

Happy to see Coric win. He seems to really up his level when he plays top players. His problem is to get pass the ''easy'' opponents.

We'll be glad to have you back on solid ground and posting, Don Fabio.

That complaint about Coric is the one for Kyrgios, not Borna. I think his problem has been much more injury than motivation.

 

[tossip]

You're in luck! He went out to Dimitrov. And Murray went out to RBA. Did Andy shave his head? He looks like he lost a bet.

Did he cry?

 

[Moxie]

Did he cry?

Nobody cried today that I saw.

In Vienna, Dimitrov beat Giron, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4
In Basel, FAA beat Bublik, 6-2, 6-3.

Hurkacz serving at 4-5 in the 3rd. I’m hoping Coric can pull out this win.

I like both players, but Hurkacz needs it more than Borna to qualify for the YEC! Coric's out of the running! Hubert's a bit stronger IMO!

2-2 in the TB.

EDIT: Coric up 4-3. This is a nail biter!

I don't believe that half-volley and Hubert running into the net! OMG!

 

[tossip]

Borna is ahead at the moment.

Borna is ahead at the moment.

And he’s won! Another 3rd set TB.

 

[Fiero425]

Borna is ahead at the moment.

I thought Hubert had this TB well in hand! Now he's scrabbling just to stay in it! WTF? It's over! Borna takes it in 3!

 

[tented]

I don't believe that half-volley and Hubert running into the net! OMG!

Yeah, that was crazy. It looked as if he was trying to give himself the Heimlich maneuver.

RBA takes out Wawrinka in straights, 7-5, 7-6(5). I was hoping Stan the Man would get the win, but I like RBA too.

Stan put up a great lob over RBA, but butchered the easiest volley known to man! It happens I guess! Wow!

Yep, I was almost embarrassed for Stan on MP.

@Sundaymorningguy — are you watching Shapo?

@Sundaymorningguy — are you watching Shapo?

I am. He is playing some of his best tennis these past few weeks. It’s a shame it has taken him and Felix this long to pull it together after they wasted most of the year playing like crap.
