Miami Open, FL, USA, ATP Masters 1000

In last 10 months or so, Ferrer is not what he used to be. He definitely got old.

He is not the only one, look Tsonga....

Sadly, watching Dimitrov anymore, I don't see him having even a chance of winning against the top guys.

In a tiebreak, Dimitrov is about as mentally tough as Jo Tsonga.

Always a chance, but agree that his mental side definitely puts a ceiling on where he can go career-wise.

Lol... Murray goes up a break in the third, only to lose the match. Moments of brilliance from both guys with a whole lot of ugly

 

[Carol]

This is too much for my eyes, Muzz, Tsonga, Ferru out, who will next?

I was really pleasantly surprised by the Frenchman. Some easy power coming from him. The crowd was cheering for him at the end. I bet @isabelle can tell us more about him.

I didn't see any but the last 3 games. Murray was his own enemy as sometimes he is, but kudos to Grigor for going for his shots.

RBA is in some really nice form this season, I am not surprised at that result at all.

 

[Moxie]

Surprised about Murray. Just watched some of Monfils, who is such a joy to watch when he's on.

 

[Billie]

Come on Kukushkin, make me some money. Oh and Carlos is here as well, already threatening with time violations.

 

[Moxie]

PS: Is anyone as bored as I am by what seems to be the one Nike look of late? The red with the tiny stripes, or the green version? If they're going to contract so many players, can't they design a few more styles?

Yeah, he's having a really good year. Wouldn't surprise me if crept upto the fringes of the Top 10.

Our Canadian TV switched to Raonic match so I can see only the scores and Dzumhur is leading 5:1 in the 2nd set after Kukushkin took the first one 6:4. Doesn't bode well for one of my horses tonight.

 

[britbox]

Raonic takes the first set breaker.

I'll be honest, he's surprised me. He's crept in slowly, but he's another Spaniard that does well on HCs. Big win for him.

 

[Billie]

And Joom-hur (to help with pronunciation) is through. Good for him, this is the best result in his career.
