Hard to see Cerundolo win here, even though it is a close match so far. Cerundolo's best shot is to try to keep Rune on the court as long as possible.

Just as I said it Rune donates a break. Horrible game. He seems a bit deflated after the 1st set.

I haven´t seen that much of Jarry lately, but I have seen him play in person twice, his forehand is huge. If you are saying this, I reckon it must be pretty inconsistent. Normal, as he goes for his shots when he gets half a chance.
I feel Jarrys Back hand is his better shot, Jarry was making too many UFE on his fhand in the match today

This is the test for Holger. A routine match becomes interesting, and how he handles it, and the pressure of expectation, will tell us something.

and Rune is a little prick who doesn't say anything, it was a clear double bounce.
The standard legal reply there is that he’s not paid to officiate - especially not against himself..

I know. He was that kid who was calling out on the baseline when ball was in, but there was no umpire around or if you forgot to count the score he would add a little bit to himself.

He might! But he’s gonna piss some people off and make enemies for himself, and I think it’s about time we had a player like that again, if only for a while…

Cerundolo, to be fair to him, is clinging on. He’s more than a meme!

With that I agree, it's fun, because no one cares much to watch Ruud or Khachanov.
