This guy "wild" got wild card into the tourney. Did his parents name him so that he can get easy wild card entries?

It was that or Luke “Lucky” Loser.

I see that Borna Coric is playing Thiago Seyboth Wild. @JesuslookslikeBorg must be beside himself as to who to root for.

giddy with such a choice i was..maybe.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

thiem is down a set and a break again, this time to a bloke rank 120s and at 25yrs he didnt win any atp matches until this tourney (i think.)

maybe the rain break can help thiem,

resurgent garin, and coric make merry and win.

And down goes the prince of clay........ on clay in straights. Against the mighty Mager.

Prince of Clay? lol! he was having knee trouble in his previous match.

Isn’t the title appropriate?

Did not know he had health trouble. Today I did not saw signs of injury. Probably he was too careful.

Now, after this surprising win, the Italian qualifier will play the Hungarian Lucky Loser. One of them will make the final.

That should be some jump up in rankings for both. Thiem, however, doesn't pass Roger yet. Injury? I wonder how bad and how that bodes for his clay season.

Clay season is long away. Even if he is injured, he can sure come back to full fitness in time for Clay season.

This tournament is being played on clay, so not so far away for Thiem.

As you fully well know, I am talking about the European Clay season (and not the clay season before the clay season or the clay season after the clay season).

I do. But I also know that, for a clay player, this is a bad time to get a knee issue.

Does he really have knee issues? Or just rumors?

When is a good time to get a knee issue?
