At the same time, if he doesn’t reach the SF here with this draw, then there will be some soul searching that needs to happen for him and his team.

Can’t have too many great opportunities and not take advantage of it
I dunno, maybe he’s nursing an injury. ;-):

Paula Badosa looks like she just got out of bed, you would think she could have put a comb through her hair for starters
Good idea this match is on CC, Papa is high up in his box and cant carry on like a 'Maniac' towards his son

I think she’ll be a better influence on the butterfly than his daddy. She’ll inspire him, but daddy will just drive him nuts..

Leave Paula alone, I'm quite sure 80 percent of real heterosexual men would be happy wit lolh her appearance especially if she just climbed out of their bedroom. Jajaja

Anybody still panicking over the scheduling?

:popcorn
It's not a panic. It was a call out of poor response and planning. I still don't agree w/ their decision and they aren't caught up yet. There's a slew of R2 matches slated tomorrow that should've have been played today. THE END!

Out of a total of 254 singles matches - men and women - for the whole tournament, they’ve already finished 170, with 2 to still finish tonight.

In other words, they’ve gone through more than 2/3 of all matches, and it’s still only Thursday. They’ll have only 82 matches still to play, they’ll finish second rounds tomorrow (only 20 matches), and they’ll be playing third rounds tomoro, Saturday and Sunday.

They’ve done well, but it was only one day badly affected..

I don't like the fact that the scale is unbalanced. Some players (even top seeds) will have to go back-to-back-to-back. It's not a huge concern for the women because they are used to BO3 everyday during reg tour events. It's not good to ask the men to do the same in a BO5 format. At some point during the fortnight it will create an unfair advantage for an opponent who is well rested while his competition is weary and gassed.

I don’t think they’ll go back-to-back-to-back. They may play 2 days in a row, but that’s nothing. But look at Carlos, plays 2nd round tomoro, 3rd round on Saturday or Sunday, 4th round on Monday. That’s potentially 3 matches in 4 days - only 1 against a highly ranked player - but it’s not so unusual in slams that this happens…

Murray has to go stronger in to Stefs fhand to open up his bhand, anything short Stef is just putting it away with ease
Stef's fhand is at present dictating this match

As long as there isn’t a 2007 redux, things will be fine.
