I'll have to check it out. But there is such a thing as something being a conditioning issue and not medical. Perhaps that?

Some people says that when Haase is losing he always makes excuses, here you can see what happened in Basel and Delpo became furious

Translation?

 

[Carol]

Translation?

Delpo says : "He touches his leg, limping and later says "come on”...... (and he continues saying) "what piece of ghost you are...the c.....of your mother.....f*** you".
That' is a very bad word (about his mother) and it's not the first time that the Argentine likes to say it to others players, he said something similar to Murray

In the USA, where are matches shown? Just Tennis Channel? ESPN mobile used to carry all matches on every court, but it doesn’t seem that’s the case this year.

Looks like NBC have replaced ESPN.

NBC has owned the rights to RG SF and Finals coverage for years. On the weekends they will come on air for about 3 hours at 11am Central time and show the last 3 live hours of the day. ESPN lost the bid to carry RG exclusively to the TTC.

On the other hand, a few years ago NBC didn't renew it's Wimby contract and ESPN picked up coverage of that. After a long stint of carrying the USO, CBS stopped carrying it and ESPN owns the rights to the majority of the coverage including the final weekend. AO is a joint project covered by ESPN and TTC. You have to remember ABC owns the ESPN family of networks. So the Wimby and USO finals will usually be rerun on ABC in the afternoon of that day.

Magnus is back w/ Wawa on a day to day basis

Lucky Loser Marco Trungelliti drives all the way from Barcelona at short notice and ousts Bernard Tomic 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4

Djoker closes it out against Dutra Silva. That fella can grunt some.

He was the one I mentioned yesterday. TTC showed a pic he posted of his family driving him in the car. Too funny.

TTC is calling him "Truckstop Trungelliti." Jokes about beef jerky and Doritos. He looks the part, too. Kinda chubby and scruffy.

This is why pros from the 80's/90's era are completely out of touch with the game, and offer some horrendous analysis. I die inside every time someone actually thinks J-Mac knows what he's talking about, but today's dumbass award goes to Mats Wilander, whose commentary is hit-and-miss but I'm fine with, and usually has a good tactical eye... However, he often says some insane stuff, and this takes the cake:

Wilander told Eurosport: "I want to see Sascha Zverev in the final against Rafael Nadal - so he can serve and volley".


https://www.express.co.uk/sport/ten...l-French-Open-Alexander-Zverev-Mats-Wilanders

Yes, Serve and Volley against Nadal on clay. THAT is the answer. Not just that, but serve and volley when you're Sascha Zverev, whose parents' volleying genes all went to his brother. Volleying is by far Zverev's biggest weakness and it's laughable that this has been suggested by a supposed expert.

TTC has some nerve joking about food. All they do is eat.

Wilander said that? seriously...

I like Wilander's in-match commentary when he discusses strategy changes but he comes out with some bizarre stuff outside of it.

 

[Carol]

Nothing new by Wilander, he usually says awful comments

They say a lot of rubbish. Maybe they assume that the audience does not know much about tennis. Listening to some of the comments can be excruciating.

 

[herios]

As I said he would drop out of the top 200, live ranking has him now ranked
# 257. This could change by the time the next official ranking comes out, he may drop a few more.

Okay ..what's going on with Nadal..i dont have cable access at the beaches here in Santa Cruz.
