Excellent :lightning:
Messed with my draw challenge, I also expected him to do well enough to get a few rounds in. First and last time I'm betting on that guy doing anything surprising.

Isner broke serve at least 4 times in 4 sets. Pretty crappy stuff to allow that to happen

I won't lose any sleep over it either but Ferrer had been having a reasonable run so expected a bit more.

Likewise. Kukushkin is decent when healthy. He's had a fair deal of knee problems that have hampered him.

Can't you see the obvious? Murray withdraw is part of a much larger picture. Murray is huge tennis talent but his results are compromised by his not-so-secret political activities, and the time lost going to meetings and rallies made him pay a heavy price on his career, but a price that he is willing to pay gladly. His family is known to be part of the Scottish/Feminist/Homesexualist league. His father was known as the one who famously tried bomb BBC after a news piece that explained Scotland's results in tennis, which was later discovered to part of a planned series of leaks. His mother is known for her tries to objectify male tennis players,
while supporting the idea that tennis doubles should be played only by homo afective couples.

Given that background, it is obvious that Murray, a long time supporter of the equal pay cause, also a known communist who once tried to force all ATP players to work on the tennis tournaments facilities, would try everything in his reach to prevent a block-buster final between the two role models of the Neo-Con world, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal (a.k.a "the Nike Dolls"). Such a final could boost man tennis ratings to unprecedented levels, and calculations by the Scottish/Feminist/Homesexualist league indicate that even in the case of one the players giving birth on court while the other dopes herself while sitting on the chair during the WTA final wouldn't be enough to even put the two events in the same scale of ratings. Hence their only option was to wait for the draw to come out, thanking the fact that they were able to spook Federer out of the Cincinnati tournament by the use of fake terrorist threats, thus guaranteeing Murray's #2 seed.

This is one of the weirdest, most random posts I've ever read on a tennis forum - so much so that I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Well done, I guess?

Wow, Khachanov is out, to Lu. That messes with my draw.

The new kid in the block, Shapo, has won in straight sets over the coin thrower :clap:. Next up Tsonga. I expect, hope and wish that new kid shows the door for slumping Tsonga. It should be feasible considering Tsonga is in a huge slump currently.

I am already very pleased with Shapo. Even if he loses to JWT, he made a positive debut at a Slam. That counts a lot.
Most likely the best player coming up behind Zverev in the new generation.

Really? I am laughing but kind of offended at the same time....

But I guess you haven't checked all the links. There's no way you would be in doubt if you had...
