The Grass is always Greener - 2021

Or, could be an Italian/Aussie final!

Well I think my Italian has a great chance,though living in Aussie it is good to see 2 Aussies in a s/final Oi,Oi,Oi,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Not surprising. Sorry if Gomez-Herrera really has an injury, but they played a few long matches, so I'm pretty sure Novak has all the prep he wants ahead of Wimbledon.

When I first read the withdrawal is said Novak had a foot injury? then I waited awhile until it was corrected

Oh well my dream of an all Aussie final is just a dream at Eastbourne,

Alex de Minaur will play L.Songeo.

Medvedev vs Querrey.

This should be huge; sorta like Djokovic vs Deliciamo in the past, but it isn't! I know Medvedev has all the talent in the world. is #2 in the world, but it hasn't helped his reputation of early round losses and temper tantrums! I've seen him serve Djokovic off the court a few times! His game seems to be effortless in some respect, but taxing AF on others due to his court positioning! He runs much too much with that tall, boney body of his! He needs to quicken some of these points!

I've seen him serve Djokoovic off the court a couple years ago! His game seems to be effortless in some respect, but taxing AF on others due to his court positioning!

To me he hasn't the game for grass.,I think this surface is too complex in ways for Medvedev,to me he is till best suited to HC until he proves me wrong.

I don't expect Medvedev to make it past Struff in round 1 of Wimbledon but if he does it's gonna be a very tricky first round. He got a nasty first round opponent. Facing a big server here is good practice anyway.

Yep a tough first rd opponent indeed.
Also Nick K getting Humbert.,didnt they play a tough match against each other at the AO this year?

Nick won that match and that was the last match Nick won.

I agree that Struff is a tough opponent. But, since he just now beat Med at Halle, the surprise element will not be there. Med will be careful right from the beginning. Also, Med could potentially face Marin Cilic in the third round and that is also a potential land mine for him.

Yeah I was impressed that Nick won that one tbh. Not sure what Humbert is like on grass though.

I guess we shall see what Humbert is like,I am a bit disappointed Nick did not play a pre grass tournament,seeing it is his fav surface

Tbh, with his serve, if the early rounds play fast there's not much Nick needs to do except serve well. Not saying he's an ace machine but that's how he mostly wins on grass let's be honest. That and fitness which has been his main problem. I don't mean cardio fitness but staying injury free has been his biggest problem up to now and I'd like to see him healthy for a prolonged period for once 'cos it rarely happens unfortunately.

I will never understand when you pull for Aussies, and when you pull for Italians. Sonego has had a good run of late, though I'm rooting for DeMiñaur, as I think he has more up-side for the future.
