Jannik just retired. Rublev moves on to the QF.

Oh No do you know why....I am switching back and forth with a womens match

It looks like his left knee just gave up on him. It is unfortunate, maybe at this point, he should just skip Grass altogether to rest his body.

Just read that, Bummer, I hope the knee injury is not too serious.

You know Medvedev has a really good chance of making the final, the bottom draw has opened up seeing one of the Clown Princes, aka The Young Greek has gone lol!

 

[Jelenafan]

Bummer how it happened, but...

The most beautiful flowing hair in all the ATP moves on, I do think Rublev needed this QTRS placement for his confidence. We could have an all Russian Quarterfinals....


Unfortunately, it looks like Sinner's body is giving him a lot of issues already for someone so young....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafanoy,

Well at least Ruud beat Hubi, I got that right and he will play the youngster Rune,who I hope he beats as I am still out on the youngster at this point in time

 

[rafanoy1992]

Here's my plan for Sinner: After the US Open, just take a break from Tennis for a month off to refresh his mind. Then, start a real training regime with his team to fully develop his body. In my opinion, most of these injuries from him are just lack of body conditioning. He needs to take a page from Murray (2007) and Alcaraz (2021) in which both of them started to put on some muscles to reduce these type of injuries.

I would even say ask for consultations from other fitness coaches ala Jez Green or Jamie Delgado on how to gain body muscles without compromising his game too much.

Good points, though Delgado is taking up a new position with Emma Radancu, I dont know what Jez Green is doing at present
I think you and I both discussed recently Sinner needs strength training and some muscle building at the gym

Rafanoy,

Just found out the Jez Green is the fitness trainer for Zverev....oh well there are other good fitness trainer's out there.

To be fair, Zverev is physically fit. So, Jez Green is a great fitness trainer. I am hoping he considers leaving Zverev for Sinner jajajaja

LOL!....well if Sasha loses his q/final match against Alcaraz, which I think he will, maybe Jez might consider a change.

Cilic is on a tear here.

Cilic is on a tear here.

Yep and he wins the 1st set 62 over Meddy, it is the first set Meddy has lost in the tournament so far

 

[rafanoy1992]

Marin Cilic will a VERY dangerous opponent to anyone at Wimbledon this year if he keeps this level. I think he will be seeded between 17 to 20 range meaning he will be a tough opponent in the 3rd round.

 

[don_fabio]

Cilic is playing 2014 USO level. His opponent is just participating on the court, but can't do nothing. I hope he doesn't brain fart mid 3rd set and loses this in 5.

 

[don_fabio]

Either Cilic wins this in 3 or loses in 5. Hint: Wimbledon.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Meddy looks done to me, Cilic just broke him in his first service game of the 3rd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Cilic consolidated the break leads 3 -0 3rd set
This is the best I have seen from Cilic in sometime

 

[don_fabio]

And now broken 2nd time. Cilic demolished him and Meddy was not up for a challenge. Revenge for a Wimbledon last year.
