And Kyrgios wins but the good news for his next opponent is that he won't serve so well in the next match B-)
I think if you're counting on that formula, it may not last too long.

Funnily enough, Murray extends his lead over Novak to over 3000 points, despite losing in the first round here. :)

11 aces and 3 or was it 4 DFs wasn't anything too amazing actually. He had 21 last time they played I believe. It was his overall game that won it for him, not his serving.

They're showing Roger and Rafa being transported to court on the same golf cart. They're back to back and not chatting. LOL. Fun fact: this is the earliest they've met in a regular tournament since their first match in 2004.

Agreed, there's no reason he can't serve just as well especially when you consider Roger and Rafa don't return anywhere near as well as Novak

Wouldn't it be funny if Kyrgios was the one to come out of the "quarter of death"? We'd have SFs without any of the Big 4!

More likely, though, the winner of Federer-Nadal becomes favourite for the title ...

My 'formula' is because if I remember well after to beat the top players Kyrgios has lost the next match with a good serve or not :confused:

Ugh.

Well, I forgot to add his overall game too because if I remember well when he has beaten the top players he has lost the next one, with a good serve or not

Ugh.

Fair play to Kyrgios though - he served huge throughout, kept his head and played a great match. Novak's not the same player he was a year ago though - far less precise.

Jim Courier talking about Roger's mono. He said, "We should all feel so lucky to feel like Roger did when he had mono." LOL.

Nick is 21 and talented. If he can hold onto his head, and can start playing more consistently.

when you said Rafa fans have no bias against Fed, did you expect people to believe it? keep digging Moxie. Facts don't mean anything to you, neither does doctor's diagnosis, so well done.

I didn't say it, Courier did. And he's so far up Roger's ass. I just thought it was funny.
