So Dimitrov diminished Theim 6-4, 6-4, 6-0

It's not so much that Dominic lost but HOW he lost, he looked beaten from the first game. The body language was horrible from the getgo and the UFE's were splayed throughout and strategically he seemed adrift. No fight whatsoever.

Kudos to Dimitrov for smartly played match.

I know that Djokovic will play tonight. My question is what was his original diagnosis of his injury? Is it a tear or just a strain?

According to the ATP physio who treated Novak off court it was an 'abdominal tear' Novak said speaking to Eurosport, he will have scans to determine it it is a tear or just a strain.,then have the right treatment

So, as of right now, we do not know if how severe is the injury then. I am curious to see if he will re-aggravate the injury.

Physios coudnt distinguish between strain or tear.
Only ultrasound or MRI could.

Let’s hope it’s just a strain!

I saw it but I DON'T BELIEVE IT !!! Not at all what i was expecting from this match-up. Not to take anything away from the Bulgarian but could Thiem have been weary and affected by his long five set win against KYRIGOS?

^ Just read Theim's press conference he said he had a few physical issues but did not want to elaborate.Grigor just played too well.He also said he is not a machine but sometimes would like to be one

The fake German won the 1st set, without glamour. Ordinary working style.
He is flying under the radar so far.
Let’s see if Dušan can annoy him a bit more!

Alexander Zverev into to his second straight AO Quarterfinals with a mature win over Dusan Lajovic. He has look calm and efficient throughout the whole week. Let’s see what he can bring on Tuesday night.

Looks like Raonic had a good off season training. Man v Food and Man won.

Unfortunately Novak is handicapped. If Milos plays smart he can squeeze out his first win. Only due to injury.
For Novak its crucial to win in straights.
