You arent answering my post about Novak and his easy draw,
You said you turned the Djokovic match off after the first set and that such matches are bad for tennis. I made no mention of draws and am asking how much of your boys drubbing of Baez did you watch. Of course you won’t answer that.

I’m talking about Baez, the 6-0, 6-1, 6-3 drubbing… how much of that one did you watch? You won’t answer because it was way more than one set.

Re Novak’s easy draw: He’s one of the greatest players of all time. A tough draw would be Zverev, Medvedev, Sinner and then Alcaraz in the final. Due to the other gents seeding, that won’t happen. So they are ALL easy draws that Novak gets.

Now, how much of Sinner Baez did you watch?

Sinner gets the late break to serve for the set at 6-5. Stunning FH winner to get the break.

That is enough okay dont respond to my post again thanks
I answered your question about Novak’s draws,, agreeing with your opinion that he has easy ones. Now are you willing to admit that you watched more than the first set of Sinner v. Baez and didn’t think the drubbing was at all bad for tennis? No.

Sinner saved 9/10 BPs
BP converted 3/3
But this is kind of what I mean. Not like you think of KK as the great return threat. I think Sinner was due for a scratchy day, but he should stick this shiv in Karen now and get out of this match.

BTW Lleyton Hewitt's youngster Cruz lost his junior singles match, though he was playing above his age and can still compete in future junior GS

KK has taken his share of big scalps and caused fits for many players. Today he is clearly outmatched in every facet of play, except maybe the tweener. Jannik is in every one of Karen’s service games and making him work for everything.

Mannarino doesn't have any weapons! I didn't have to see it to know Novak would crush him! Reminds me of Lendl destroyng someone like Miloslav Mecir back in the 80's!.They massage the ball around the court and are very entertaining, but usually over-powered by an elite player! :face-with-head-bandage:
Well Miloslav had a memorable straight sets win over Lendl one-time was 1985 or '87 Lipton final? I thought Mannarino with his unorthodox style and the fact he played a blinder vs Nadal two years ago, one of Djoko's great rivals, that he would have tested Novak but was sadly mistaken.
