Upset Corner - AO 2017 Edition

[GameSetAndMath]

Here is your one-stop thread for discussing upsets (before, during and after) they happen.
Most importantly, do some public service by posting about potential upsets brewing so that other
folks can put down their important tasks and go to the correct court to see the action live.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

For the opening day, there are two in my radar.

1. Belluci might take out Tomic
2. Schwartzman might take out Pabloc Cuevas.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Almagro retires down 4-0 in the first set; Chardy is the beneficiary, causing first upset.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Samurai drops the opener, but up a break on Kuznetsov in 2nd set.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Nishi rights the ship now 2-1 up in sets.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Ryan Harrison upsets Nicolas Mahut in straight sets. They are separated by about 50 spots in the rankings. Don't know what is the reason; did not watch the match.

Nishikori finds himself in the 5th set, despite the opponent being close to getting cramps. :cover

It is true that Almagro is 30 spots ahead, but... I would not call it an upset, specially given the surface. In fact, I even put Chardy on the bracket I filled...

Kei is at his best when playing a 5 setter. He has the best winning % of all the players in the open era when going the distance

1. Belluci might take out Tomic
2. Schwartzman might take out Pabloc Cuevas.

Tonic wins in 3 sets avoiding any doubt and Kei wins the fifth easily

Now a true upset:

The baby of the tournement 17y Alex Deminaur wins in 5 over Gerald Melzer

 

[Shivashish Sarkar]

Now a true upset:

The baby of the tournement 17y Alex Deminaur wins in 5 over Gerald Melzer

Is he a promising teen?

That does not mean he should go into 5th set in the first round against a cramping opponent. :cover

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Cilic drops two sets and then gets one. Against, the one slam SF wonder JJ.

 

[El Dude]

19-year old Alexander Bublik just beat Lucas Pouille. Both disappointing for Pouille, who might have a rough year, and exciting for Bublik, who could be promising.

Nice catch with Cuevas.

Stan smashes a bomb right into Klizan's knee at 4 all in the fifth set

Stan avoids the upset, winning the marathon, Klizan's played him very tough.

Ramos was eliminated by a qualifier Lacko

19-year old Alexander Bublik just beat Lucas Pouille. Both disappointing for Pouille, who might have a rough year, and exciting for Bublik, who could be promising.

Pouille was still injured, he should have W/O instead of doing this mess
