Rune wins 3rd set 6-4.

Only people w/ an ulterior motive (don't care about tennis as a sport, aka fanboys) whine and complain about the draw. If your player is all that w/ a bag of Cheetos and a grape soda, the draw is no issue as he/she should defeat every person put in front of them.

Don't worry, I won't call anyone out by name, you know who you are.

Yes and No.

The Draw matters, but its part of the game, so of course unfair or not you deal with it.

There was a football game back in the 80’s where the Chargers beat the Dolphins in triple(?) overtime in the hot sweltering humid Miami weather.

The next week they played the Bengals in what seemed like snow blizzard subzero temp and lost, and yes the weather was a factor.

Pete Sampras played the last 3 defending champs of the USO in 2001 ( Rafter, Agassi, Safin) before losing to Lleyton Hewitt in the final. Hewitt deserved the win, but the draw mattered. So I get not saying the Draw should be the end all and be all of tennis discission but it is part of the fabric of the game. The Draw is an issue.

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.

This is a competition, you fight the officials for yourselves, not for your opponent.

and Rune is a little prick who doesn't say anything, it was a clear double bounce.

Gonzo did this back during the Olympics one year. He took alot of heat from the commies and other players because he didn't call it on himself.

The Dangerous broke serve, Rune over playing the drop shots
Cerundolo consolidates his break 2-0

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Cerundolo breaks again to love, double break up leads 3-0

[PhiEaglesfan712]

Rune tired again after 2:30 hours. Saving energy for the 5th set.

He's doing the Nick Kyrgios "if you're down so far in a set, why bother" strategy.

 

[don_fabio]

Cerundolo is all over the place.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just wonderful play from Cedrundolo here wins the 4th set 6-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Cerundolo is all over the place.

Of coure he isnt getting the credit for what he has done lol! as Rune is saving energy for the last set

 

[Kieran]

Getting that break at the end of the set is the cherry on the cake. Serving first in the fifth, let’s see how Cerundolo leads from the front..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done Cerundolo holds his service game in the 5th set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Holger wastes too much emotional energy at times, something he needs to learn going forward in longer matches
