Exactly. What were the chances?

Like they have some kind of side bet going

Nadal is through. What a Dream draw he has so far.

I’d say all of the Big Three have had an easy time thus far.

 

[Bonaca]

The Spaniard wasn’t that dominant or so far, this level he showed today is definitely beatable. I know he is capable of raising the level, and I’m afraid he will.

I agree, except one match Nads had to play Goffin (a former top 10).

The top guys can beat most of the field with their B-game. They don’t need to raise their levels until the QFs, at least, so they’re saving their energy, getting by with the minimum effort required.

Did Struff withdraw from the tournament?

Did Struff withdraw from the tournament?

I haven’t heard anything about it. Did you?

 

[kskate2]

No. It's just dumb Mike Tirico w/ diarrhea of the mouth. Twice in the last 3 minutes he stated the big 3 all made their way to the QF. I'm thinking Novak hasn't played his match yet, did I miss something?

 

[atttomole]

You think Thiem will beat Novak?

I think so, but Novak looks sharp.

 

[kskate2]

OK. He just corrected himself saying he made a mistake. Dumbazz!

My advice: watch the Tennis Channel.

He hasn't been tested yet. None of the big 3 have really. The rubber meets the road in QF's

 

[atttomole]

I like Novak’s chances more against nadal. But I’m not sure if he gets there. What can Thiem do after Delpo and Novak ?

Thiem is a physical specimen. I think he can handle a tough schedule,

 

[tented]

OK. He just corrected himself saying he made a mistake. Dumbazz!

Whew! It would have been really annoying if one of them got a WO at this point.

 

[kskate2]

My advice: watch the Tennis Channel.

TC usually goes off air when NBC comes on.

You’re right, but for whatever reason they’re still showing it today.

I agree. Even Nadal has looked shaky, but this is RG, and he can turn it on at the business end of the tournament.

 

[kskate2]

A bigger problem than woeful NBC is what are they going to do about Nishi/Paire?
