Taylor out to the Wild Child, who's only claim to fame was taking out Meddy at RG last year

Just watched the replay of Tommy rolling his ankle indeed it dosent look good, he has been playing good tennis of late on the HC
Good news from Tommy Paul's team that his injury isnt too bad, 2.-2.5 weeks to recover, 'basic ankle sprain

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Shapo d Tsitsipas 62 64 to get his first top 20 win since 2022, Tsitsipas poor form continues, Shapo extends his H2H 4-2
Murray d Etcheverry (29) 76(0) 63

 

[kskate2]

The Greek lost to Shapo who has been on life support for 12 months. I'm thinking, he can kiss this top 20 ranking goodbye unless he can find some form on the clay quickly.

Time for the Carlos & Charlie show. This is a popular restaurant and bar in Cozumel where they sing along and dance on the tables. If you haven't been before, I suggest adding it to your bucket list

Another player on life support is FAA, just watching his match against Zverev., I will switch to Charly's match
Zverev d FAA 62 64

Alcaraz ' inside in fhand' has to be one of the most impressive shot's in tennis!
Charly who had most of his family in his box, with a 62 61 win in his first round match!

Carballes Baena had no answers for Charly. He's too predictable, and with nothing like the fire-power.

Maybe he is best suited to clay than a HC

Alcaraz is in another league! He has flawless talent where he doesn't miss when others would feel pressure! Any shot's ready t/b tested & utilized! Very impressive play these days by him, but like everyone on tour, the "fist-clenching" & fawning for his team in the stands is too much!

 

[Fiero425]

Eubanks just stole his match against Evans! The Brit had a couple match points in the 3rd set TB, but blew it w/ a helping double fault to boot!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Miracle Finish according to my commie, for Chris Eubanks, saves 2 MPs to defeat Dan Evans 76(3) 36 76(7)

Wow, you almost gave him a compliment! But then it fell apart. I'm pretty sure a "fist clench" is a mild celebration. And he doesn't "fawn for his team," he plays to the crowd. Remind you of anyone? How about your favorite. Why look for negatives in a young player with so much upside?

Well you say I look for negatives, when it was obvious I did compliment the Boy! When I did mention something I didn't care for I posted "everyone!"

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Gael Monfils continues his winning ways defeats Jordan Thompson 67(3) 61 62, which sets up a match against Alcaraz next match!

This was about as clinical as it gets Marozsan d Rune 61 61. Marozsan has notched up wins over Alcaraz, Ruud and now Rune at Masters 1000 events in the last 10 months, now 12-3 lifetime in his 4 M1000 appearances.

When I've seen Rune will play the young Hungarian, I knew he could be in trouble. Maroszan is trending up and the kid got game. I didn't expect this kind of demolition to be honest.

Currently watching Sinner who lost 1st set, but Rune Maroszan might be worth to see what happened there. Rune has a mountain to climb. He thinks he is a top 5 player already, at least he acts that way, but in fact he has a lot to work on and ranking doesn't reflect truly where his game is right now. He must do much better than this on upcoming clay swing, because his start to the season is far from promising.

Quite frankly I was waiting for a response from Rune in the 2nd set, not to be
Tallon deserved to win the 1st set, Jannik had chances to break, though Tallon upped his level and serve and played first strike tennis, not allowing Jannik to use his return also Jannik's serve dipped when he needed it
