Alcaraz won...29 winners, 7 UFEs, I think they said. WOW.

He is also 10-1 this season...playing like a veteren

 

[Moxie]

The look from Monfils when he hit that winner to break again...he is adorable.

 

[Moxie]

Allez, Gael! On to the 3rd we go.

Thanks Monfils I can now go for a run before Rafa's match,going into 3rd set.

Thanks Monfils I can now go for a run before Rafa's match,going into 3rd set.

OMG, 2nd set ended on an underhand serve! Cheesy, tacky, & unethical doing against the elites of the game!

 

[tented]

Surprise, surprise! I bet no one thought Monfils would be up a double break in the third. Crazy stuff.

 

[Moxie]

They just said Medvedev will lose his #1 ranking if he loses this match. He's playing like he's aware of that. Credit to Monfils for playing well, though, no matter what some might say about that underhand serve.

 

[tented]

I wonder if Medvedev will have been No. 1 the shortest amount of time should he lose today?

 

[tented]

Tennis Channel just pointed out Monfils is 1-18 against No. 1 players.

 

[tented]

Daniil serving at 1-5 to stay in the match. Incredible match for Monfils.

 

[tented]

Medvedev Djokovic’ed an overheard to give Monfils triple MP.

 

[tented]

He did it! Congrats to Monfils. He played extremely well today to get this win.

 

[Moxie]

He did it!

He did it! Congrats to Monfils. He played extremely well today to get this win.

Great to see Gael playing so well.

 

[tented]

It’s official, then: Djokovic will become No. 1 again next week.

 

[Moxie]

Only other time he beat a #1 player was Rafa in Doha in '09, I think they said.

It’s official, then: Djokovic will become No. 1 again next week.

Wow, I had no idea! i had changed my BLOG thinking Novak couldn't get back to #1 this season with a limited schedule! Forgot how Medvedev can be moody and not GAF at times! That was one ragged match from him! Monfils' a real enigma! All that ability & it just doesn't pay off!

 

[rafanoy1992]

We might see a potential Nadal-Alcaraz match afterall..

I probably just jinx both Alcaraz and Nadal...

 

[Moxie]

There was a small earthquake during that match...omen, I guess? lol
