This is what I meant about Chuck not being in the right frame of mind to keep the #2 ranking. If he's having this much trouble w/ Matteo. What happens when he plays Zed, Bean or Djoke later?

Matteo‘s no slouch. You’re right though, he needs to get through the early rounds expeditiously.

Definitely not a slouch. Finally digs deep and lets Chuck beat himself

I thought this could be a tricky first round match for Alcaraz, still a long way to go, Matteo does have a habit over 'over playing' when not needed at times

Truth be told, his whole draw is tricky. When I first looked at it, I was like, no way he defends this title. Likely won't even get to the SF w/ Bean

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is typical Matteo, he must have read my post on him at least try to avoid a bagel in the 2nd set
Better level from Alcaraz in the 2nd set, also his hair has grown back from that unfortunate hair cut he had earlier

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Matteo honestly a bagel?

 

[kskate2]

his slight knee muscles must have been screaming for carbs

 

[Fiero425]

Just proves Carlos allows players to keep him out there unnecessarily! Matteo obviously stole that set w/ all the UFE's given to him! Don't get me wrong, he deserved the set, but to drop the next at LUV; Ughh! I can't see the confidence to take it in 3!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sometimes it is not all about how your start in a match but the way you finish
Alcaraz handing out a bagel and a breadstick, to Matteo,
Well done ! into the 3rd round where he will play FAA

Raonic has withdrawn from his match against Rune ( calf strain he suffered in his first round match) Rune gets a walkover to round 3
Norrie - Sonego moved to stadium 2
Humbert - Kypson moved to stadium 4

Got distracted late in the 2nd set, and I see that Vukic took it 7-5. Interesting.

Novak got distracted too.

Novak got distracted too.

Yes he got distracted by the great return of Vukic, Aussie, who hails from Sydney, like Moi, Oi Oi Oi, okay he lost still it was a great return shot to win the 2nd set
Vukic can hold his head high didnt get wiped off the court lol!

Vukic is of Serbian/Montenegrin ancestry. He had excellent rallies and fantastic winners. He comported himself well

Also a big fan of Novak

Speaking of "not for the faint of heart," another slightly mad Russian up next.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Can someone explain to me how and why Monfils gave Hubi a bagel in the 1st set, I have just poured myself a strong drink after watching Saba and just looked at the SB , yes I have my glasses on
