Cilic and Coric playing like a roller coaster

Istomin or Dimitrov?
By the way Dimi has said the he would have beaten Roger in the AO final

 

[Carol]

Interesting match between Istomin-Dimitrov, tiebreak first set 6-6......
Today I took the day off (flu) and I have planty time to rest and watching all the matches

 

[Carol]

Dimitrov winning the first set and in fire the second...
Today for the first time in ages I got the day off (flu) being able to watch all the matches live which usually I just can see the replays

 

[El Dude]

I would love to see this version of Dimitrov and Roger go at it - that would make for a great Wimbledon final.

^ He's far too inconsistent and was not great at all against Goffin in Sofia or against Janowicz who is rusty as hell after injury and still barely won that 7-5 in the 3rd.

I would like to see Rafa given another chance to be up 3-1 in the 5th set of Wimbledon or any slam vs Roger

Get well soon. . At least you had some tennis medicine.

Good battle today between Thiem and Zverev today. I was only able to watch parts of it, but saw a lot of great play from both. Thiem seemed able to find his way into Zverev's serve and game and stick to his game plan, which wasn't working in the first set. He was avoiding Sasha's bh, which made him uncomfortable. But he adjusted.

I'd like to see Thiem grab a title here. As much as I like Zverev and believe in the hype. Dominic's got a nice game to watch.

Hope you're feeling better, Carol, or at least that the tennis is keeping you entertained. Dimitrov had a break in the first set, but then Istomin started to play some great tennis. But once Grigor got the first set, Istomin faded. And Thiem started slow today, and Simon is always troublesome.

Rafa wouldn't make it to the 5th set vs Roger at Wimbledon .

Well, he seems to have a tendency to drop the first set, and/or play to the level of his opponent...that's not necessarily a bad thing. Rankings aside, right now he seems to be above everyone else except the Big Four and maybe Stan. He needs to win a big tournament, though, and this year. I could see him take IW or Miami.

Rafa wouldn't make it to the 5th set vs Roger at Wimbledon .

He has twice before and a fourth set in his freshman Wimbledon final vs the then 3 time Wimbledon champion

 

[Carol]

Thanks britbox and Moxie! I feel much better today doing nothing more than watching tennis, some movies, eating chicken soup and a lot of orange juice, tomorrow back to work
Yep, Dimi and Thiem advancing, I wouldn't be surprised if Dimi wins this tournament but we'll see

 

[El Dude]

I know, AP. I was mainly kidding, thus the wink.

That was the Rafa before he lost four times in a row to folks ranked at or above 100 at Wimby. The new Rafa will not really reach the 5th set against Roger on Grass.

Hmm. I will have to see it to believe that Rafa can still compete at Wimbledon against Roger.
