That'll help Zverev in the next round! A dream draw so far! Monfils and Sinner should wear each other out for his following round match!

Yeah I think mostly because of serve and fh (I think you also meant fh but wrote bh), but also their weakness the bh. Matteos movement also not the best, he is too heavy and big in my opinion. The tall guys with good movement are mostly skinny like Daniil or Alex for example.
I like Berrettini a lot and I hope he will not remind me of Juan looking at injuries.

Funny, I don't think of Berrettini as one of the taller guys, just more about his strong build.

Ivashka is on a tear. Won the warmup in WS and is rolling over opponents this week.

There's still the ball kids...he could hit one of 'em.

Zverev and Medvedev are currently the best players out there, both better than the ones you named (really Fed?), Novak must beat both to reach dreamland.
I would say Novak haters can still be relaxed.

I want to see a Tsitsipas vs Novak match, who will go to the bathroom first and witch one will take longer ?

Do you fear for Babycakes? Mateo won easily both matches played against Ivashka, recent one in Wimbledon. Ivashka could make things more difficult this time due to recent form.

I am watching 2 matches at present....good to see my young Aussie Alexi who was down to Evan 2-4,won 4 games in a row,taking the 1st set 64!....keep going Alexi!

Of course. I always fear he will not be at his best and runup against a red hot player. Dude won a title last week and has loads of confidence. He'll be looking to claim a big 10 scalp.

Medvedev will win this I reckon.

Dan Evans wins the 3rd set 63....Alexi P leads 2 sets to 1.

...as Tsitsipas goes down in the 1st set to some kid from Spain I never heard of; Carlos Alcaraz! A real cutie if I do say so myself!
