So is "bathroom break" the new excuse for Rafa losing?

:cool::p
No.. but his game was left in the locker room toilet today.

I might come off as an a$$hole but I would rather kill myself than let Coric beat me 6:1 6:0. You all get what I am trying to say, I mean BORNA CORIC, come on man...
Why didn't he retire after the first set? Is he that stupid?

I believe this is not the first time that Borna beats Rafa. According to you Rafa should have committed suicide two times at least. :laydownlaughing

Several surprises are happening here.
Firstly, yesterday Mahut def. Bautista-Agut
And Sugita beating Sasha Zverev,
today, Tomic beats Goffin and Coric also takes out Kyrgios.
Keep them coming...

They have listened ;)
Did they ever followed up nicely on even more upsets than before??

Coric beats Nadal
Tomic takes out Nishi
Johnson beats Tsonga
Cilic ousts Berdych
Dimitrov beats Wawrinka

So now, the bottom half of the draw is in shambles. One of the following:
Cilic, Johnson, Dimitrov, Coric will make their first ever Master final.
Very Nice guys!

Only 4 (of the top 16, not even top 8) seeds reach QF. ATP is slowly approaching WTA and will reach it once the big four leave the tour.

It was about time to see this type of shake up. Some of the old farts are REALLY BORING.

Boring..name the last absolutely great match that didn't include one of the big 4 or Stan..its been well documented you fancy the youngings of the ATP, that's good for you but I prefer a healthy big four, IMO

Nadal and K are obviously burnt out from Rio. They should not have played Cincy.

Am I the only one who thinks Coric is Baby Djoke?

I fear Murray is playing too much. Why try to win Cincy and risk falling early at USO?

The sport has to move forward. Enough of the big 4, and this is coming from a Djokovic fan.

agree with you, the ones who shined in Rio should have taken some rest before USO, now Nadal in injured again and Murray has a painful shoulder

Ditto! While I would love Novak to pick up a few more, I would rather a more dynamic tour.

The only injury Rafa has is his brain for managing his schedule

Since Rafa came to the picture I used to see their frustration but my father always has said "when you are too good you never are going to be ignorated, you will get many admiradors but also many enemies"
