Carreño Busta lost a match today v Delbonis that he was in control of. That's gonna sting.

Is there any need for his 16ft ball toss ....

Is there any need for his 16ft ball toss ....

Not in high winds, there isn't. Ask Tomas Berdych. It seems like a liability to me. No idea why some adopt that.

 

[Moxie]

The match to watch tomorrow has to be Fognini v. Berrettini. Fognini is on his last nerve, and Matteo is trending. All Italy on the edge of its seat.

I'm really surprised

Berretini played very good against his country fellow Fabio.
Also Thiem looks better than I thought after his break.

Interesting draw for Rafa: Alcatraz-Sinner-Zverev-Thiem-Tsitsipas. Wow!

That is on paper,only if the projected seeds win their matches....Rafa projected to meet No2 seed Medvedev in the final if they both make the final.

In regards to Thiem's opponent Giron ranked 91 he has had marathon 3 set matches back to back and had no energy in his match at all.

Thiem and Rafa are the last creatures on earth that you would not want to have on the opposite side of the net if you have road weary legs..Poor guy Giron but he did put up a great fight with what he had left in the tank.

Thiem not soo much,agree 100% with Rafa.

Shock of the year so far. Paire won a match.

His world might come crumbling down as he plays the Young Greek next

Nah Medi will not reach the F, at least there will be some real tests, but it will help him to roll into form for the main event of the Nadal-year.

Apparently The King of the Bad Boys of the current ATP was put on notice.

...and the alcaraz v nadal clash is ON.

i say clash but it prob will not be, but fun for the kid on his 18th burfdayy (wed).

Margaret, Thiem does wear out his opponents..check the stats of his opponents survive an encounter against Dominic ..they usually loose the next match.. unless that opponent is named Nadal
