I smell an upset in those night matches! The ball should travel faster and give Nadal and Murray less time to defend IMO! One or both are vulnerable; esp. Nadal with Kei who's playing well! ;-)

nadal vs nish and murray v Tsonga look like the picks for me.

although djoko vs gerbilis could be a bit zany.

I hope tonight Isner kicks that punk's junk in the dirt( hard court) .

He will probably have most of the stadium cheering him on (maybe even a few Aussies). One problem; Isner's knee is bothering him, and I think his shoulder might also be a bit gimp.

Thanks Nehmeth, I glad his knee was able to hold up and send that asinine jerk out of the tournament.Can't wait to someone put his love interest dirty laundry out on the social network

Has Pavlik stopped posting highlights? They used to be so helpful.

I've been wondering that too. I'll post what I found.

I don't normally like Mary Carillo's commentary, but she just said the funniest thing: Nadal is a fussy little man!

Oh Boy, what a heresy? Wait until Broken and Kieran post hundreds of messages attacking both you and Carillo and may be even her grandmother. :snicker

Wait, isn't it against the rules to call people out? What a "low blow" GSM...

 

[kskate2]

It definitely is. Stop goading and calling people out. The next infraction will result in an official warning.

Ice Cream Hair created a crap storm of trouble for himself, "getting lippy" as he calls it, the night before. There is no way he could have been fully focused to take on Big John's bombing.

I like Chardy's game (when he's playing well), so will try to watch when he and Isner play today.

Rafa's first serve % is in the 70's again. Any speed gun numbers on it?

No, but you can look up any WTA player's speed gun numbers and they wouldn't be too dissimilar. Nothing to be excited about, trust me.

I agree, his serve is still bad, I'd like to know why uzzled

 

[the AntiPusher]

Rafa seems to prefer spins and placement instead of pace. Who knows he may began to start cranking some higher pace serves today and in the next few weeks. Today's match vs Nishi should be a good indicator if he is getting close to being able to be a legitimate threat to make it to the 2nd week of USO.

No, but you can look up any WTA player's speed gun numbers and they wouldn't be too dissimilar. Nothing to be excited about, trust me.

It's that bad, is it? He should rummage around his luggage for the 2010 serve, it has to be somewhere. Or even 2013 - remember that fluked ace against Novak in the final that year? Pure luck!

Hi everyone,

Decided to return to posting. Also because I have a pressing problem: none of my regular streams are working: fromhot, sportslemon, drakula stream. And I really want to see Djokovic play Sock.

Can anyone help out?

Thanks!

Hey Denis, hope you're well. My usual go-to is Fromhot (aka Fromsport) but it seems to be getting blocked. Unable to help, unfortunately...

I can't connect with that site these days either.

See if this works for you:

OMG, I'm ready to turn off this match and the tour altogether! They're getting ridiculous now talking about Kyrgios as if he killed their cat! Don't these people realize he's a kid and they're acting like bullies trying to punish him? The fines and reprimand should have been enough; now talking about an investigation! An investigation into and about what? Are they all complete morons? Do they want him to jump off a freakin' building? They need to calm the "F" down! ;-(

 

[nehmeth]

Chardy and Isner on serve in the tiebreak... shocking. Chardy has an excellent forehand when he's playing well. Double fault give Isner the chance to serve for the set. And Chardy saves the point.
