I think he should be deserving of a fine ...

Let's hope Delpo doesn't play a good one or two weeks and then bows out with an injury. That would be sad to see.

Wishing him the best.

Front, what did you think of your boy Bernard's performance..
Is this really the guy you want to go to war with or share the same combat bunker :eyepop

Coric is a bit error-filled, and DF-ing. Roanic is proving the benefit of maturity in this match so far.

You could clearly see that he only finished the match out of respect for the opponent and was injured. He's injured a lot.

 

[Shivashish Sarkar]

Players like Tomic are a disgrace to the sport. I hope not many people look up to them.

 

[isabelle]

Delpo"ll play vs Querrey, wish him good luck

 

[isabelle]

hope Delpo can beat Querrey tonight

I can't understand why Rafa is going to play doubles with him because I don't think they will go too far, maybe just one match? which I wouldn't mind at all, I want that he is going to be more focused with the singles

Seems you're all a bit blind and unfair to Tomic who was clearly injured after set 1 ended. He was trying to win with his shot making and indeed his shot making skills are outstanding. He can bend angled shots past the best of them without even moving his body much. Thing is, he clearly couldn't move much, so before slagging him unjustly, I suggest watching more carefully to spot he was injured. He's been struggling with an adductor injury since the start of the year which seems to keep coming back. You'd think the fact that he wasn't attempting to move much would give it away but apparently not.

Ask yourself this...how many 21 year olds do you know who have had surgery on both their hips ? I know none. How about 21 year old professional tennis players who have to bend, stoop and move side to side and laterally practically all year long? He was 21 when he had it done in 2014. Now clearly hip issues put your whole body out of synch, especially lower body so maybe you could cut him some slack if he's having trouble moving. Clearly groin/adductor problems are gonna be frequent for a guy who's had both hips operated on. Some of the balls he didn't attempt to go after were right next to him and not even going fast. He's not such a d1ck that he wouldn't attempt to reach them.

He's comes across as cocky and annoying I'll be the first to admit, same as Kyrgios, but if he's not moving, it's 'cos he can't, not because he can't be bothered. If it was 38 (almost 39 now) year old Tommy Haas would you cut him some more slack 'cos he's ancient as tennis players go? Tomic has been unlucky with injuries at a young age.

Results from the Delray Beach International Men's Singles Quarterfinal matches on Friday

3-Jack Sock (U.S.) beat 5-Steve Johnson (U.S.) 6-4 7-6(4)
Donald Young (U.S.) beat Steve Darcis (Belgium) walkover

Querrey v Some Argentinian fella + Raonic v Edmond still to come.

 

[Moxie]

Raonic wins in the 3rd after losing the 1st to Edmund. I know there are folks who don't like Raonic's game, but, with his revolving raft of coaches and his high-flying ambitions, he's turned that big serve into a more than serviceable S&V game. Surely he is making the most of his skills and minimizing his deficiencies.

That's one thing you can't fault Raonic on... his continual commitment to maximise his game.

This is why it's a good place for Delpo to come back: he gets to play another big guy/big server, like Anderson, where the points won't be long. This should be a tight one. Querrey loves playing in the US, and he's still riding the confidence of beating Djokovic, I think, when it comes to serious players. It won't likely test Juan's wrist, but his mettle. Has anyone else noticed this hybrid sort of BH that he has now? It's not really a one-hander, but not pure slice, then he uses the 2-hander for more "kill" shots.

Milos / Delpo....wish Delpo good luck

 

[isabelle]

hope Delpo can beat Milos, vamos Juan !!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Some choke moments but Milos gets it in straights.
