I just realized this but the 12th, 13th 14th, and 15th ranked players in the world (live rankings) are all in the Quarterfinals. And they could potentially all advance in the semifinals.

I have never seen it before especially in a M1000 tournament.

The 13th ranked player in trouble. Taylor Harry Fritz down a break in the decider 5-3 to the fiery one.

Fritz just Djokovic’ed an overhead to give Davidovich Fokina 2 match points.

ADF beats Fritz, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, in a nearly 2.5 hour battle.

Yep Tay needed to buckle down in that 2nd set when ADF was still in the wilderness.

I'm sorry I was too lazy to get up for even the end of that. The young Spaniard really coming into his own. (No, not that one.)

Meantime, I'm watching Dimitrov lose control of his match v Hubie.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I turn my TV on to watch Dimitrov lose the 2nd set ....how unusual
Hubi looks like he has worn his PJ's pants on court.
Hurry up I want to watch the next match

Vamos to ADF, the youngster from Spain,what a tournament he is having.,making the s/finals in MC,..well done!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Fun Fact,
Today in Monte Carlo,
Six of the quarter finalists are 25 and under.The last time that occurred in Monte Carlo was 2009.

 

[Moxie]

Last second rebreak, and suddenly Hubie is serving for it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hell Hubi was broken serving for the match
Sorry Hubi and clay dont mix

 

[kskate2]

Hubi has turned into an UE machine the last 10 minutes. MP for Dimi

Right?! Totally lost his nerve. Now maybe comes the TB?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hubi is more suited to the grass than clay

 

[Moxie]

HH has some great drop shots, but Dimi has thrown a bunch short, like that one.

 

[Moxie]

Hubi is more suited to the grass than clay

Yeah...hits pretty flat, too.

 

[kskate2]

He's got a big serve, but not consistent enough to be considered a servebot. 4 more MP's for Dimi

 

[Moxie]

Harsh loss for Hubie.

 

[kskate2]

Up next 2 string beans. One will be wearing a cap, that's probably the only way I can tell them apart.




Oh, and then there's Zed sleeveless shirt.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There should be rules who can wear 'sleeveless' in tennis!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Brain Fail from Sinner with the drop shot?
Broken to love
