Yep; TOMIC just plain gutless! I can't imagine his being backed with his attitude on the court at times like "I don't give a %#@#!" :nono

Truth to be told, they will have very tough competition next round: Fratangelo will play Berdych and Fritz will play Cilic. So normally they would lose those.

From what little I've seen of Tomic, he's a big, strong guy that probably should make it past players like Cilic and Berdych who've been around forever! So many have the game; just not the heart to care! :nono :cover

I saw the replay this morning! He had to be PO'd since "he blew it!" That missed high BH volley was so reminiscent of Roddick in his last Wimbledon loss to Roger in '09! The 1st racket went, then after dropping MP, he took care of the rest in his bag! I think he's going to another model! :angel: :dodgy: :cover

Hey fiero.. that wasn't impressive stuff by Harrison..I like to see him crack something like a baseball back over his knee or crack a bat over his back like Bo Jackson did..now that was impressive :clap

He's only "eye-candy," just taking the place of my childhood crushes of Vincent Van Patton and later Jan Michael Gambill! His game won't take him any further! Like most "also-rans," Ryan doesn't have a real weapon! UFE's just makes him look even worse than an "also-ran;" more like a "never-was!" :angel:

Speaking of bad actors..Vince van patten greatest acting job was he was able to take Farrah from the 6 million dollars man, Lee Majors :snicker..I think Vince is a spokesman for some casinos..

That and he still commentates on Hold 'em Poker tournaments; final tables! He's a gambler at heart! I still remember he played a TV event a few years ago with father/sons and Vince's dad went "all in" on the 1st hand; lost and he never got to play! I would have spit on the old man's grave! I go back to the 70's with Vince in "Apple's Way!" :angel:

Coric eliminated by swiss qualifier Laksonen

Coric eliminated by swiss qualifier Laksonen

Coric made the same splash as current stars like Zverev & Thiem, but has really dropped off the map! What in the world happened? He has a decent game & I like watching him play! I thought he had a future, but it's still early!

Coric does not have WMD. I wrote him off long ago.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Novak to face Kyle Edmund in R2, which is Novak's first match. Kyle is ranked #46 and is an up and coming player and will be good enough to trouble Novak, even if he can't finish the job.

On the other hand, Fed gets Stephane Robert currently ranked #88. He won his match against Dudi Sela which also incidentally is his first match win in 2017 after a string of six losses.

Rafa is likely to play GGL who is currently on court with a set lead over G. Pella.

You have forgot to say that GGL is ranked #31 which means Rafa has in his first match the toughest opponent

No he does not. GGL is ranked 89.

1. Ranking wise Rafa has the easiest opponent in R2 among Fedalovic.

2. If GGL were ranked #31, he would be a seeded player and would have a bye in the first round.
You should have realized you are on a wrong track at least using that.

Sometime ago, you mentioned that Rafa's case is over when it is actually scheduled in future, sometime in July 2017 or so. You seem to have a way of not letting facts interfere in your narrative.

p.s. In case you did not realize, I was not artificially trying to project that Roger's opponent is tough. In fact, I said he is weak having lost six matches in a row in 2017.

No he does not. GGL is ranked 89.

It is even worse. GGL lost in three sets. Rafa will play against G. Pella who is currently ranked #145 and got entry through PR.

I noticed Rafa plays the right way when he plays doubles..meaning he serves better and goes for his shots...Who knows Tomic may fool us (sane tennis players)..

 

[the AntiPusher]

Question who wins this doubles match ..

Federer/Nadal vs Djokovic/Murray

Question who wins this doubles match ..

Federer/Nadal vs Djokovic/Murray

Federer and Nadal easily...

Djokovic is a horrible doubles player which is ironic because he is technically sound but he does not have the "feel" in doubles like the other three players.
