Never seen the guy before, changing my mind, think it will be 5 games for kuznetsov.

Sock and Coric battling it out to determine who gets to knock Nadal out of the French Open in the 4th round! ;)

I like Jack Sock. I hope he wins.

I like Sock (even though I always think "Jack Sock could eat no fat ...") and Coric, so it's a good thing/bad thing no matter who wins.

Jeu Sock. Would be ironic if the umpire was crap and uttered "Jeu Sock." The crowd would be nodding, yes you do indeed suck :snicker

Coric grunts way too much for my liking.

I agree, I mentioned that in his previous match. Small things like this can separate them when it comes to enjoying to watch a player or not.

Sock is coasting now. 6-2, 4-1! If he wins, it will be the first time for him to ever make a Grand Slam 4th round and his ranking will move up to around #30. Seeding range for Wimbledon!

Wow! That might be one to watch then. I'd slightly preferred Coric to play Rafa, but if Sock can do this..

Will Christmas come early this year? I doubt it, but who knows we might get lucky.

One area of improvement for Sock would be the 2nd serve. He appears to be going for it pretty heavily and it creates a number of DF. He needs to address that and not give away 2 games worth of points each match.
