This should be a match vs Mahut Rafa should take a lot of risks in all parts of his game..The lefty advantage should be applied to the max as always.

Imagine it'll be extremely hard for Mahut as a serve and volley player if the court is slow as f**k. Haven't be able to watch any of this tournament so far so not sure what speed the courts are this year but they're normally some of slowest hard courts on tour. On grass or a fast hard court he'd have a much better chance and I might even pick him as a not so shock winner on grass in best of 3 on a fast court like Halle.

Seems like everyone else victories gets mentions but his..that's all I am saying..but Isner doesn't get too much love either

There was quite a bit of hype about Dyjr when he transitioned to the tour from juniors. Got lots of wildcards into tournaments, but never really did anything. I think people are not that excited anymore because it's been a long time without any real breakthrough.

I agree somewhat..but its always been that way about DYjr..he defeated Murray at IW about 3years ago not a lot of mention..i will let it go

Just for the record, DYj win over Murray was 6 years ago and not 3. And for long time afterwards he had achieved nothing. Back then he was 21y old, now he is 27. Even if he will peak late in his career, I cannot foresee more than a rise into the 20-30 range somewhere.

Damn! Stan v Zverev that'll be fun. Too late for me though

Donald Young shows against Fognini why people don't pay too much attention ...

Well.. I was hoping that incident went unnoticed :snicker..

Yeah,.Donald was a bit cranky today..I seen all players , especially Murray be a bit sully to the umpire...just a bad day at the office..all players have em..this shouldn't take away from the fact he has played some inspired tennis and people should pay attention

DYJR continues to win..but as always no love from this board..

The Donald usually plays well at the US based tourneys. He doesn't fair so well on the road. That being said, he's a little like the boy who cried wolf. He'll make a little run here or there and then drop off the planet for the rest of the season. I think people are a little tired of his false starts. And to address another point of contention, it was talked about heavily at the time when he beat Muzz, but then he didn't really do much after that so it was another false start.

He had another false start. :cover

3 or 6 years ago..who cares.. DYJr doesn't have top 20 type of talent..mid 40s will be his peak..a few surprises here and there but is a real journey man..he is very talented but not as discipline to advance higher in his career

Lame TB from Mahut. Shame after how well he played all set.

 

[Federberg]

I can't remember the last time I saw Mahut play at that level. Impressive, but it was never really in doubt. Rafa continues to play well this year. His fans shouldn't be too disheartened, his season really starts after this match. Let's face it, based on results so far this year this could be 2006!

 

[Federberg]

Watching the tennis on Sky here in the UK, it's clear they're promoting Kyrgios as the new big thing. Hope they're right. Not too many guys I can watch all the way through, he's one of them

 

[Puppet Master]

Nadal played so well. He was just pummeling the forehand. He was thriving in the daily conditons today. 26 winners and 11 unforced errors. Those are some Federer-esque numbers. Hope he can maintain this level for the whole week and beyond, so that we get Fedal #37 come Sunday, because this performance surely raised some eyebrows today.

 

[Federberg]

I do wish these commentators would stop saying Federer is playing the best tennis of his career! I mean... seriously!

They just keep trotting that line out over and over.

 

[Moxie]

Rafa hit deeper today and served much better. Good Mahut, though. I always forget how tall he is. Must be all of those photos of him standing next to Isner.

 

[shawnbm]

I think I can live with him playing tennis at the age of 35 not seen since the Pancho-Rosewall-Laver days, as what Roger is doing is clearly superior to what Connors did in the late Eighties. He is winning and playing at a high level like those old legends.

 

[Federberg]

Amazing.. they just made the point that if Roger wins today, he'll match his best start to a year ever. Surprised me.. thought there would have been at least one year where he was unbeaten at this point

 

[Front242]

To be fair, Mahut net rushed a bit blindly like Roddick a lot of time which made for some easy passing shots which count as winners and Mahut played great all set 2 but a stinker of a TB which again made things look better than they were. Still, they did for the most part both play well. Just not so sure I'd assess it as eyebrow raising personally.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

RBA not going away easily. uzzled

 

[Federberg]

Lol! This would be just like Roger to lay an egg against the one guy who shouldn't be a threat
