About Rotterdam:

Rotterdam is a city and municipality in the Netherlands. It is the second-largest Dutch city after the capital Amsterdam, and is located in the province of South Holland, at the mouth of the Nieuwe Maas channel leading into the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta at the North Sea. Its history goes back to 1270, when a dam was constructed in the Rotte, after which people settled around it for safety. In 1340, Rotterdam was granted city rights by the Count of Holland. The Rotterdam–The Hague metropolitan area, with a population of approximately 2.7 million, is the 13th-largest in the European Union and the most populous in the country. Located in the west of the Netherlands, Rotterdam is in the centre of the Rijnmond conurbation and lies at the southwest corner of the larger Randstad conurbation.

Nice field here. Only Sasha and Thiem are missing from notable non-big-3 members.

Grigor beat Shapo

 

[Bonaca]

Hurkacz set and break up against tsitsipussy.

 

[Bonaca]

Aljaz won against Paire in straights, good play from him.

 

[Bonaca]

Steffi turned the match completely. Hope we see him in the F against Daniil.

 

[Moxie]

FAA beat Struff in 3; RBA beat Fucsovic in 3; KK and Rublev won handily (KK over the Fog.)

Hurkacz set and break up against tsitsipussy.

And yet, the Greek hero won!

 

[Bonaca]

Pablo beats Roberto in 3. didn’t see that coming. He starts playing better and more consistent.

Greek yes, but definitely no hero

OMG, here we go; the decline! Medvedev's struggling to get past one of those Canadian hotties; Pospisil! He's down a set & a break; Vasek to serve for it! - Edit: It's over! #1 seed Daniil is out in the first round! He'll remain #5 in the world!

Wow did you see the match? Daniil crap or was Vašek that good?

 

[Moxie]

I watched some. Pospisil played really well, returning past 6 mos. from back surgery, apparently. Medvedev made a lot of errors. (PS: How Canadian is this? Pospisil sips maple syrup from the bottle on changeovers. )

 

[Bonaca]

Also Karen lost to Evans.

 

[Moxie]

Commies said a bit of both. I only saw 2nd set. One especially poor service game from Daniil, but Pospisil was really sharp. Plus all the doubles he plays, he's good at the net. And serving great. Only lost 5 points on serve in the second set, I think they said.

Do you know if it’s a fast HC in Rotterdam?

That sounds good. Has a good run the last weeks.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Popsicle played the perfect match. Right amount of agression, mixing it up from the baseline and never giving Medvedev any rhythm. Good job, good career revival.

 

[Fiero425]

Nice field here. Only Sasha and Thiem are missing from notable non-big-3 members.

This is "some" field and w/b a test from day one; hence Russians getting kicked to the curb and out early! Very impressive draw w/o Big 3!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

FAA was solid today too. Way to go Canada !
