Marcus Willis #775 to beat Berankis

You called it and he delivered in straight sets. The potential prize for him is to face Fed in R2.

He was just interviewed by the round table in the clubhouse! His ranking will jump to maybe #420 in the world and have a huge payday; esp. if he can beat Roger in a couple days! :angel: :dodgy: :lolz:

What an opportunity, Fed in the 2nd round on Centre Court, well done to him hopefully he can put up a bit of a fight on wednesday!

Don't they give the trophy if you win seven matches in a row. This guy Willis has already won seven matches as part of this year's Wimby. Give him the trophy. :clap

Today we had five upsets.

1. J. Chardy d. G. Monfils
2. D. Istomin d. K. Anderson
3. P. Herbert d. P. Kohlschrbrier
4. A. Kuznetsov d. P. Cuevas
5. #775 M. Willis d. R. Berankis

I called for 5 upsets and there were 5 upsets. :clap

Monfils and Anderson were physically not fit enough to play, coming back from injuries.

How many upsets for tomorrow?

I think Stepanek could maybe upset Kyrgios?

Maybe Bedene will upset Gasquet.

Baghdatis could beat Isner

Dodig beats Berdych

Not very confident on any of them being upsets though tbh :s But you never know.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I don't support any of your projected upsets. But, I do expect Verdasco to oust Tomic. I am fairly confident of this one.

Me neither :-/ Should have stopped after I got the Willis one right

I did think about Verdasco winning that but Tomic had a good tournament at Queen's and seems to be playing well.

Man, in the history of tennis, nobody has ever been confident about Verdasco winning a match, like ever :snicker. The most inconsistent guy in the business. He can win in straights, he can lose in straights with a couple of bagels and every other score in between.

Yep, he took out Rafa in the 1st round at AO and went out meekly to Dudi Sela in 2nd round like a newbie.

But, he did take out Stan at Queens this year and so I am giving him a thumbs up.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Thanks to the rain, there were no upsets in day 2.

Not getting any predictions right (so far), has not stopped me from offering more.

Here are two potential upsets on the menu for Day 3.

1. Nicolas Mahut to show the door for David Ferrer
2. Marcos Baghdatis to send Big John back home (Big John is a big server who has never been to the QF at Wimbledon, go figure. Even his buddies Milos and Dr. Evil had been there).

Also, Verdasco and Tomic are tied at 2 sets a piece and are scheduled to play the last set tomorrow. I stand by my prediction of Verdasco ousting Tomic.

Verdasco screwed me. He could not even get rid of Tomic. I picked him to make it to the SF actually in my draw. :cry

 

[isabelle]

the Dog beaten by Evans

 

[GameSetAndMath]

David Ferrer taken out by Grass specialist Nicolas Mahut. (my first success)

Dr. Ivo taken out by L. Lacko.

Finally, upsets start coming.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

What happened to Dimitrov?

He has won his second round, eliminating seeded Gilles Simon.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

8 of 32 seeds have already gone home.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Two more seeds Benoit Paire and Victor Troiki gone.

Another mild upset in the loss of unseeded Gilles Muller.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Alert: Thiem is in possible trouble. Vesely takes the first set in a tie-breaker.

But, both are playing well. Hard to say what will happen.

Vesely is no stranger to creating upsets (he took out Novak this year).

Did Nole even try? He took on an invitation to go to Madrid and won it! He didn't need that match; looking for rest I'm sure! Mon Dieu, Vesely lost 1 & 2 to Monfils the next day in that Monte Carlo match! :angel: :dodgy: :cover

Big TB coming up for Thiem to stay in
