A swiss is seeded #1 again in Basel. :snicker

 

[Kieran]

That's a strong field! Top two seeds for the final...

 

[masterclass]

Wawrinka is the favorite, but worth a shout is the second favorite, unseeded WC, Juan Martin Del Potro, fresh off his Stockholm title win this past Sunday.

Raonic is third favorite and Nishikori fourth along with Cilic.

At this time of year, I tend to go with the in-form player that might be a little fresher.

Respectfully,
masterclass

Why can't Milos beat Berankis? Anyone watched?

 

[10isfan]

Hoping Potro wins this tournament but doubt he has the energy to win back to back.

Love the way M Zverev plays. So refreshingly different from the baseliners.

 

[Carol]

Good played Pablo! :clap this guy is improving a lot on HC

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Why can't Milos beat Berankis? Anyone watched?

I did not watch it. But, I think he is going through the curse of beating Roger. Since, then he has not done anything of value. :laydownlaughing :nono

 

[isabelle]

another injury for Richie, I wish he can play Bercy

 

[delPoFearhand]

M Zverev through to the QF, will face Wawrinka there. Can he repeat the feat his brother accomplished in St. Petersburg?

Probably not.

hope so too, it's his last tourney of the season, he always plays well in Basel so why not a 3rd victory ??

Gentle Giant in trouble. Drops the opening set to Samurai 7-5

 

[delPoFearhand]

M Zverev beats Stan Wawrinka! I did not think that was going to really happen. Granted it is non-Slam Stan, but still.

Probably not.

:cover :angel: :laydownlaughing - Congrats Zverev Bros! :clap

Has anyone seen MZ play? He is impeccable at the net. A serve and volleyer. If he is on, it is not easy to beat him. I wonder what improvement he made to suddenly surge like this. I know he was injured for long stretches throughout his career. I really enjoy watching the short points. The endless rallies of the modern game gets tiresome.

Before Sasha and looking up his BIO, I didn't know anything about his brother! All of a sudden he's tearing it up; upsetting the top seed after being a perpetual qualifier! How does this happen to Stan? He handles the best Nole can offer in 3 major wins & then forgets how to play in a 500 vs an "also-ran!" No wonder he's owned by Roger! :nono

Makes you wonder how good that best is that No2e has to offer. :laydownlaughing

I am happy to see Juan make a comeback. Here's wishing him the best.

 

[tossip]

Igor Karlovic always looks angry after losing to Tsonga and Monfils...I guess they give each other tips on felling this biggy small giant..lol

 

[Front242]

Cos he was ahead and lost his break. With his serve it's gotta suck alright
