Indian Wells, BNP Paribas Open, CA, USA, ATP Masters 2017

Well I think for Milos's fan (herios), the hope is that he's going to have his chances in Slams and Masters over the next few years and even at the WTF. Eventually it is going to pay off...I would be very surprised if he doesn't win at least a Masters.

Similarly with Nishikori, who seems to be the new David Ferrer: the gatekeeper between the elite and second tier. Of course Kei is 27 already, but maybe if he's lucky he'll mirror David's late 20s/early 30s peak.

Agreed El Dude..you are on fire dude..good stuff :clap

 

[El Dude]

Haha, I don't know about that*, but thanks.

*Although I do have a terrible sunburn on my back from laying out too long yesterday.

 

[kskate2]

Finally this wta mess is over. How long will it take to clean up the streamers?

 

[britbox]

A couple of minutes and we're underway.

 

[DarthFed]

Awesome quality so far.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

fast tennis..

 

[atttomole]

Wawrinka should have challenged.

 

[kskate2]

yeah. he got hosed on that call. the ref shouldn't intervene there unless he's 100% sure. He will be told about it later by Magnus

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

set point was class. woka woka woka.

 

[DarthFed]

Excellent first set and game, both playing pretty damn well. Stan earned that break.

My Lord how can you folks suffer Patrick McEnroe,,his :basiate of Roger is unnatural

 

[Federberg]

Roger not serving well

 

[DarthFed]

Hasn't served well most of the year and it hasn't mattered. That's one of the things that's most incredible about what he's doing

 

[kskate2]

I know AP. He is insufferable. But I don't have any other choice unless I stream on the computer. I do enough streaming at work. It's nice to watch a match on tv for a change

 

[DarthFed]

Usually with these guys you don't see them playing great at the same time but that's been the case so far here

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Stan is holding on his own. The margins are less.

The only area of weakness for Stan seem to be his inability to protect his second serve well.

 

[DarthFed]

1st really loose game from Stan, hope Fed gets one of these BP's

 

[GameSetAndMath]

TMF breaks back. Even Steven.

 

[DarthFed]

And he got it! Hell of a point there

 

[Federberg]

Missed the first set, has the level dropped a bit?
