Hopefully Steve Simon from the WTA is taking notes on how to present a end of year final

Gigantic difference in prize money, too, almost $10m in total, and about $3m more potentially to the male winner…

There it is...the backwards overhead!

Boom boom out go the lights.

Nice power and accuracy from Taylor.

"Ciao Nadal!" It's not over, but isn't looking good for MR. Nadal again at the YEC! He has a chance to finish #1, but's made his job a lit'l harder!

 

[El Dude]

Holy crap, that was an 18-point game.

And you were saying Rafa has the easy group

 

[Tennis_Steve]

Short and not so sweet for Rafa.

Timing just not there, seemed out of ideas.

The court speed (altitude) seemed a difficulty, not an advantage.

Last player to win it from dropping the first match was 2009, Nikolay Davydenko!

Fritz was solid, didn't fluff it.

I can't believe Tignor got both matches right and also can't believe I trusted Nadal to win set 2. 6-1 ffs. Happy for Fritz. Not happy I bet on Nadal to win set 2.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well played Fritz deserved his win!

I thought he'd win alright but was expecting 2-1 and didn't place a bet till after he won set 1 but decided on Nadal to win set 2 instead. He could have had the decency to at least lose it 6-4, 7-5 or 7-6 instead of 6-1 ffs Only placed a last minute bet to earn a free €10 bet for tomorrow anyway. In the back of my mind I was thinking Nadal is in a hurry to go back changing nappies and he probably is. Last time backing him to win anything at this tournament. Just doesn't suit his game at all.

Not sure I said Nadal had the easier group! I'm surprised some idiot didn't say Novak had it! Been listening to that BS for yrs! Always an excuse!

I tell Rafa next time for your dear Front,.....I cant believe Steve Tignor got it right of all people lol!

The one thing I love about a round robin is that moment when people start scribbling hasty obituaries after the first match…

Well let me get my "Scib'l" out there! I had already predicted Rafa wouldn't do well regardless of his group! He sorta mentally shuts down after the FO; always has! He's had a few good Summers &'s taken 4 USO, but over all these yrs, his record's been dismal after Paris! It's like he doesn't care!

After the FO He has won plenty during the NA HC summer as well as Wimbledon a few times

Gonna be a tough one for both having both lost their first matches. A dogfight. Won't be betting on that.
