Do you mean Cliff Drysdale? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Drysdale

He's South African. I haven't been able to watch TC lately, so there maybe be someone new...there is actually a new guy who is hispanic, I think. But I don't know who'd be the old guy but Cliffie. Maybe they have that lovely Italian fellow: Ubaldo Scanagatta?

It definitely not Uncle Cliffy ..maybe it's the latter, the Italian Ubaldo

That old Fk should've been retired yrs ago! Never been a fan of Drysdale & have had to listen to his pomposity for well over 30-35 yrs!

He was good with Fred Scolle..Cliff was one of my favorite until he teamed with Pat McEnroe

I enjoy watching the single handed BH fuel between Dan Evans and Stefanos

 

[herios]

Strong performance by Stefsnos, defeats Evans in straight sets.

Gael defense is astounding

 

[herios]

Very entertaining and high level match

Gael defense is astounding

Hehe he seems to make some kind of Nadal... with better serve. Strong 3 games of Gael. Let’s see if he could do this over a whole match.

Monfils is on Though to beat the same guy 17 times in a row

Very good tactic by Gael too... Staying in the point plus lifting a ball up a bit... Works very well for now. On the other side Novak seems little inflated, looks like today he didn't want to play tennis at all!

Gael looks like fighting for his life! Novak not in the mood for working hard today.
I think GSM wrote after securing no 1, there could be a dip in level. Smart prediction.

 

[Bonaca]

214kmh second serve ace from Gael! Insane.

 

[don_fabio]

Novas is not bad just Gael playing amazing. Very entertaining and the crowd is loving it.

 

[Bonaca]

If Gael keeps his level high he will win. Novak not willing to put too much in it.
Hope he will show up like this in the F, to stop the tsitsipussy.

 

[Bonaca]

Gael is really fighting. He deserves the win.

 

[Bonaca]

This is for Gael like a 5h five setter for Nadal.
Even if he wins, there will be nothing left for the fake hero.

 

[dante1976]

If Monfils somehow blows this... I'll start thinking that Novak is not a human
I mean with a build like that he looks like he did "ultra iron man marathon" 10 minutes before this match!? Guy with a physique like that should be able to play at same pace until tomorrow!?
Maybe Svitolina have something to say

Crazy ball bashing by Gael

Monfils just blew 3 MPs in the 2nd set tiebreak.

EDIT: Novak’s wins the set, with Monfils double faulting on SP.

 

[don_fabio]

WTA tie break. But the show is great. Monfils usually dying after evry point. Novak a bit shaky and struggling to convert on many setpoints. Monfils scrambled a few matchpoints.

Poor Gael. This was all by himself. Novak didn’t make anything special, mediocre play since the start.
Now I don’t give him much of a chance.
