Which one? if you are referring to Felix, I read after the match he lost, he said the onus is on him, not his coaches, which I agree with. To me a lot of it has to do with a 'lack of confidence and he has looked tense to me on court in his last 2 matches, of course going out in first rd matches dosent help your confidence at all, his serve has been lacking when it counts, lets see how he fares in Cinncy,

Holger?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Holger?

Well he self destructed, in the match, also he didnt appear that he wanted to be on the court? too many UFE, though credit to Giron he played a good match served well and deserved his win
Dont worry you still have your other fav player Alcaraz in the tournament I wont mentioned Stef lol!

Here's the deal..when you're struggling with your confidence in your game and you have big "serve" Energy like FAA.. shorten the points and come forward towards the net to "feel" the ball better and to put your opponents on the defensive which should produce more UFEs from the opposition. "Remember all good things happened when you take control and the initiative of the point by coming forward." Just my two cents worth

I agree with you, let see how he fares In Cinncy, though his serve has been missing? winning breeds confidence!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Another seed bites the dust!
Ruud (3) was serving for the match 5-3, 30-0 to 5 all in the 3rd set , went to a TB where Foki played well, Ruud's fhand collapsed, and won the 3rd set 76(4)
Foki d Ruud 76(4) 46 76(4)

 

[kskate2]

Foki is straight ballin. Taking no prisoners. He's plays the Mack next. That's a winnable match as long as he keeps that underarm serve in his back pocket

Tell it to DeMinaur! He was up a break, then lost his own serve twice w/ double faults! What an idiot! Fritz is pressuring him, but it's inexcusable!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW with Casper Ruud' loss in the 3rd round at Toronto, Rune will be the new world No 5, new career high ( when the new rankings come out Monday 12th August)

 

[Jelenafan]

I am so thrilled folks, lets ignore the backhanded way he got in, but our little Holger is now a career high # 5 in the world !!

The # 4 seed for the USO depends now how Tsitsipas and the 3 RU’s do in Cincy.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

At least the HC specialist Medvedev (2) reaches the last 8 with a 64 64 win over Musetti

Alex must've heard you @Fiero425 he is coming forward and playing his AZZ off! Doesn't look good for Taylor's chances to advance

 

[kskate2]

Taylor is as dense as the rock Gibraltar

I told you it didn't look good for Casper. He had finalist points that he didn't defend here. That's why Holger moved up. Nothing wrong w/ liking how he got it. He can move up even more when Ruud ghosts those 1200 pts at the Open.

I thought Fritz a responsible guy marrying his GF & had a kid, but I'm finding him to be a blockhead and not very bright; esp. on the tennis court!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Taylor is as dense as the rock Gibraltar

I left the match when Fritz was up 2 breaks in the 1st set and did a 'choke fest" and lost the 1st set in a TB, I am not surprised he is losing the match

It's not even so much the choking. It's the consistently executing plays that will not work against this guy as evidenced by the fact that you keep going there and you keep losing the point. How many points will it take before he gets a clue of what to do? Somebody said blockhead, and that's quite the appropriate assessment. Charlie Brown was a blockhead too... Everybody on the entire flipping cartoon was smarter than him, even the dude w/ that dust cloud and/or blanket.
