2022 Grass season preview

[Moxie]

Wawrinka got the break back, and this one is super-close. Stan's serve has been amazing today.

And of course after the Foe collapse, they show Shapo dropping the first set to Tommy Paul. Wondering if they'll get this match completed. It's looking awfully dark there.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Match between Paul v Shapo has been suspended due to darkness
1 set all, will play the decider tomorrow. Paul 1st set 64 Shapo 2nd set 62

I cannot see The Red Baron in either tournament unless he was granted a WC like before lol! again you have no faith in him?
Anyway I am off to work, maybe I can get Moxie to help me with the draw challenge next time,last time I did the draw challenge I won by the way, just giving you notice, though it was years ago.

You won the draw challenge previously.. that's great at the challenger, 250, 500 level.. Let's see how you fare at the master series and GS level.. jajajaja . BTW I doubt that I was in that draw challenge.. You don't want any of my smoke Miss Margaret!

I beg to differ, I think Nick K is a better grass court player than the Young Greek, if Nick K can keep it together, I know that is a big question mark, I feel Nick K can win

Good points and this is true.. the young Greek isnt to hot on grass.. the question is how long will his meds last

What a collapse by Frances serving for the match at 5-4

I'm not high on Frances who is a very raw talent. my peeps tell me I am too critical because his strokes are too unconventional.. My reply is that because he isnt fundamentally sound, his style of play will catch up with him in a long math especially late in a tournament against a top ranked player. Sometimes Tiafoe makes a big splash and claims a high ranked scalp.

Who knows with Nick when the next melt down will occur, it is a day to day basis,at present the meds appear to be working

I was sad he couldn't close it out. But great victory for Wawrinka. I'll be interested to see what he makes of it. His knees may be crap, but if he can serve like this, there may be life yet in the old Swiss. Let's see if he sets a trend.

I have zero expectations for Wawa on grass. There's just no data to support him doing anything significant. I'll hold out hope that he's gearing his serve up for a run at the NA HC.

Ok, see this is to me a typical grasscourt warmup tourney result:

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina defeats Alex De Minaur 4-6 6-4 7-5 .

Translation: No clue how to call this match on the cow pasture. Last year Alex made the SF’s here and actually won Eastbourne on grass but then crashed out on the first round of Wimbledon. But you would think his grasscourt experience would pull him past Fokina.
