I'm not too convinced by Lucas Pouille. Granted, the fella is young - but he seems to lack the gut for a real fight.

raise the level here NOLE!!

So far so good for No1e. No signs of that nervousness from China. Tennis wise he has been offering a mixed bag, but I hope he can beat Cilic and then whoever wins panamerican quarter.

I find funny that new No1e's new coaches Pepe and Marko look alike. Vajda and Becker will be back in London so No1e may have full box of coaches.

THIS IS why NOLE needs to sharpen up in this second set -- at ONCE.

Are you discussing possibility that Dimitrov is gay? Funny, but there is his countryman Valery Bozhinov who is a footballer in Partizan Belgrade who is also accused to be gay. Not only that they are countrymen and both sportsmen, they look alike a lot and Dimitrov also banged Bozhinov's ex wife Nikoleta Lozanova which is why Sharapova dumped him. They are both very good people and while they may be swinging both ways or not, they are both attracted to women for sure.

dimitrov can't be gay, imo. he's even more probably a real gigolo -

i mean with his looks - why wouldn't he?

[teddytennisfan]

Wow. First time he's ever beaten Novak.

is it? that's BIG TIME for Marin.
it was too much deficit in that tie break at 5-2 and nole just couldn't mount a come back at that point..

still some lingering dip - but hopefully NOLE raises it next week.
