Pity about his new haircut

Fonseca wins his first match in the Qualy 6x4 6x0 against Gomez, #136. Lost only five service points all match.

11th straight win.

Regarding the above, I did not watch the match, but I got some highlights. Gomez is not a bad player, he was going for it at the beginning. Fonseca new defensive skill set nullified that, his forehand did the rest, not only winners but some middle of the court torpedos that simply could not be handled.

I noticed a weak second serve here or there, but then I checked the serve stats again ...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I found Medvedev, a picture of Medvedev today on social media, he has become a dad for the second time, reason for his delay coming to the AO.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nick Kyrgios has a Grade 1 abdomianl strain, will be resting and doing everything to be okay by the AO, Nick is also playing doubles with Thanasi Kokkinakis

 

[El Dude]

I found a surprising stat: In 17 match-ups between Ferrer and Federer (all won by Fed), they never met in Grand Slam tournament. Weird.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Joao Fonseca is one win away from his first career Grand Slam main draw. Defeats Coleman Wang 60 63 in 53 minutes
12 consecutive wins, 14 consecutive sets.
Great stuff!
