Of course rain appears, that might give Jannik a chance to think about his game

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Match has now resumed on Stadium between Griekspoor v Sinner just a passing shower

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Phew Jannik finally breaks the serve of Griekspoor wins the 2nd set 75, going 3, quite a battle between these 2, both serving well now

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sinner comes back to defeat Griekspoor 57 75 61 and reach the last 16 in Miami 39W 17UFE

He can thank the tennis gods for that bout of rain, that completely halted The Grieks belief and momentum. Poor kid had just enough time to talk himself out of the win.

Rain has saved many a champion; men & women! Murray's trying to hang on vs Machac down a brk. in the 3rd! "Please finish him off Tomas!"

Amen for the tennis gods and the rain, still a good learning lesson for Griekspoor going forward, he had the chance for the upset and could not go on with., regardless of the stop in play due to rain.He played well for the first 2 sets

Rune said he wasnt feeling 100% and his energy was low, in his match against Marozsan."Looking back I should have pulled out.But its always difficult because I had been preparing and wanting to play for a week"
Hollger that is a weird way of saying 'I've been over played"

 

[Fiero425]

Gawd, what an idiot! Murray persists in playing his usual, defensive game just hanging in there & waiting for an UFE for the most part!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bad luck Murray you fell and had to take a MTO for your ankle, which I thought you were going to retire, you battled back in your match against Machac and forced a TB in the 3rd set , losing the TB 76(5)

Anyone watching that match could see, that something was wrong with Holger.

If he wasnt well he should have withdrawn,though credit to his opponent he played lights out tennis and deserved his win.

 

[Moxie]

Monfils having a problem with his ankle early in his match v. Alcaraz. Hopefully nothing serious and he can keep playing, and that it won't affect play. I think Carlos had already gotten the break when it happened.

 

[kskate2]

Chuck is zoning. This looks like it will be over quickly

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The new dad Musetti playing well against Shelton up 5-3 1st set
Edit
Musetti 64 1st set over Shelton

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Really Charly? serving for the match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay lets see you serve out the match for a 2nd time Charly 5-4
Alcaraz wins 62 64
I hope Monfils ankle is okay

 

[Fiero425]

Well it looks as of the tourn.'s caught up; the men's side of the draw! Alcaraz finished off Monfils! Just waiting for Musetti & Shelton to wrap it up!

Some sad news for Andy Murray, he rolled his ankle yesterday in his match, had a MTO and battled on to a 3rd set in a TB and lost,

Andy ankle injury is serious, he ruptured his ATFL and near full thickness rupture of his CFL
Andy will see an ankle specialist on his return home., to determine the next steps.
Andy will be out for a long period of time.Still hopes to return, Wimbledon would be the best scenario possible in terms of recovery time
