Hubi outlasts Aussie Kokkinkas again..in 3 sets 76(2) 36 76(1) defeated him in 3 TB sets in Miami this year.

Dont understand why Foki would want to play doubles with Tsitsipas, tonight, already played a singles match earlier, seeing he is to play Novak tomorrow, you would think he would have withdrawn...........Hmmm.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Matches suspended rain again? who knew

Doubles is more interesting than a glorified practicing. .Foki is young and it's not that hot

I understand that about doubles, then he should leave doubles to the main stream doubles player that play on the circuit, full time, he is probably feeling sorry for Tits and wants to help him out seeing his form has gone backwards

Hair dude in trouble again. Down MP's

 

[the AntiPusher]

The young Greek should be happy he isn't playing Eubanks. He will defeat young Ben

Rublev is out to Ruusovouri. (Did I get all of those vowels in the right order?)

So it continues w/ Ginger being "King of the 250's!" Out again early where the big boys play! WOW! He did win MC, but top players upset early!

Before I left for my run, Hair Dude wasnt a happy camper at all
BTW the Vowel Dude had 71 UFE and still won the match lol!

Charly really doesn't need to play everything like a highlight reel. This is early rounds, and Thompson isn't really a threat. Paciencia, hijo!

Agree, he was doing the same thing in Toronto and came unstuck

 

[Moxie]

Gets the break back, and I see that Felix has, too, in the 2nd, but still a set down v. Mannarino.

He's not playing his best tennis since getting back on the HCs, but he could do with a bit of patience and strategy. Try getting the ball over the net, for a start.

Patience is the key I agree, he has the shots, though in Toronto to me his fhand was way off. Yes it does help getting the ball over the net.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I knew this would be a tricky 2nd round match for FAA against Mannarino,
Mannarino won in straight sets 64 64

I've been saying this all year. Too much flash and not enough vanilla (especially when his timing is off). Vanilla wins points too. He needs a good healthy mix and it will be up to JCF to help him balance it.

Exactly. People can get mad at waiting for an error, but that's part of the strategy, too. He's capable of keeping the ball in play...let the other guy make the UFE. Save the no-margin play for the big boys.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Lets this be a Ugly Win Charly now having to go to 3 sets with Thompson

I'll give Red a little credit, he's the King of 500's while Casper is the King of 250's. LOL
