Citi Open (DC) 500

[Luxilon Borg]

While Dolgo is talented, he is also one of the most inconsistent players out there so the result is not utterly surprising.

Harrison got it really tough. First Hewitt and now Delpo. And then Tomic next. Geez. Still, he can definitely give Delpo a challenge if he keeps his head together and his goal should be just that.

If Harrison can jump all over Delpo early, he has a chance..lack of play.

All things being equal, DelPo is in a different class.

anyone finding a stream?

Isner is playing in second tie break in the very first match.
What a surpise.

Mardy wins!

Mardy wins!

So, his comeback is succeeding. He went out in the first match
in Atlanta. But, he has now won back to back matches, not to
mention taking out a seed in Bennetau.

Good win.

It's interesting that Citi Open is a 500 pointer for the guys but only 280 points for the gals....

 

[Riotbeard]

Mardy wins and Simon is down a set? The world is bending to my will

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Yes, we do have a rematch of 2007 NCAA Single's finals tomorrow
in DC. It is interesting that these two have never played each other
in any venue since then (including GS, ATP events, Davis Cup,
Challengers, Futures and Qualifying).

Querrey vs Dimitrov - first time meeting. Tough task ahead for Dimirov. Querrey is also playing doubles after his single.

I know Del Potro is in a different league but Harrison really needs to start believing himself more and take his game to the next gear. Problem is, Delpo is not only a smart player, but he's also very powerful and has a lot of control both on his game and mind, so he'll be really tough to beat. But still, one can always hope.

I am picking Gregorova.

Harrison has too many technical flaws. As I said, the intangibles are there. Since DelPo has been on ice for over a month, he has a chance.

Ryan couldn't serve himself into a 2nd set tiebreak uzzled Lost it 1-6, 5-7!!

 

[Emma]

It almost always takes Harrison 1 set just to figure out his opponent's game on that day. By the time he realizes, he's already a set down. And now it's too tight and he chokes. This is his biggest obstacle - the mental part of his game.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

del potro only took 1hr 1omins to waste frat boy face Harrison..

next stop is sir Bernard of tomic.

 

[Emma]

Tomic definitely has a better game than Harrison so should be a great match; that is, if Tomic is feeling good.

No, his biggest obstacle is technical. His movement is anything but efficient. He runs around the court like a chicken without a head.

He gets no extension on his forehand. His dad was a tennis pro...can't figure out how he has such a flawed stroke.

Weekend at Bernie's plays such an odd game that DelPo may get irritated..but DelPo is so savvy that I think he will take care of business. Definitely an intriguing match up.

Another bad loss for Milos. I have not been able to watch him recently and I am just curious if he is trying to change some things with the new coach and suffering during the transition period, or just plain sucking.

Same story. Monster serve, but huge technical flaws.

Slappy forehand, horrible court positioning, and confused strategy.
