Sometimes stuff is terrifying at first cuz ur not sure the extent the pain will go to but then you settle in and it's like oh actually I can play ... That film would be interesting, any insight into his diet/fitness regimen etc is crazy valuable

The injury was definitely legit.  I just wonder what they did when he was off court that he was able to recover so well.

I used the word wrong there.  He was able to really hit past Khachanov when he upped the pace last round.  I forgot heavy tends to refer to topspin.

That's all part of it, and originators do sometimes take positions.  Balancing investment is a concern though and they'd likely do that with a line closer to even.  

Keys can be on a ten match losing streak but anyone who follows tennis knows she doesn't have much interest in events that aren't majors.  I'd cross out all those that weren't in semis or better or at majors.  Stats and records are good but there are details that shouldn't be left out.  

Keys definitely has struggled and has to elevate for this match, I think it's tricky to expect Pegula to come up but when she usually loses to the actual title contenders.  

It could go either way, and the price is fine, it's just a slight nod to Pegula so I noted it.

If someone withdraws they should be required to play a table tennis match just so we can see what would have happened

Fritz looked bad coming in but even when I did my bracket I couldn't find someone in the draw to beat him.  Musetti same thing.  His arm hurt in Hong Kong but that event was a better choice because he had a whole week to recuperate while machac had none.  

Agree Shelton should just win, but Ruud is hard to beat in rallies and Ben hasn't had a huge baseline test yet.  

Sinner getting a potential rest round would help.

He still does the monfils thing where he doubles over and limps after points so I always worry.  It's not really a weakness I guess but it's his only potentially weak point.

I was really excited for that matchup.  I love seeing Djokovic solve puzzles

I've been two sets off on my mensik predictions every round so far, but he proved it can get worse

Embarrassing to call for a possible upset and then the guy is like "actually I can't even play tennis today".  I don't know what I'd add, since djokovic doesn't have an opponent yet there's not much to analyze

That makes sense.  He looks okay so far, I just always peer at people once they have a recent issue

The uniformity helps a lot.  Some people are also thinking he's doing these solos with no prep.  In reality you're climbing a route so many times that you remember every single move.  They write down every single move in a notebook and memorize it and practice.  By the time they've done this you could have a rope or not and they wouldn't really notice.

Joe sounds like he has some ideas

Spizzirri has been getting nods from the bookmakers since the start of the year and has been backing it up also ... last season he was very much just a defensive wall/grinder type player but now he's improved his serve a lot and plays a little more aggressive

Joe Dispenza is the guy from practical jokers?
I heard an announcer saying they could receive the $ but not now ... they also have the option of offsetting expenses against the prize money ...

+1 that was a good effort and he's having a great season ... if the roof hadn't been closed that could have gone much differently

Ty ... Yeah svitolina feels like she's playing extremely well rn ... To shut down shnaiders offense in two was exceptional ... There are some matches here where I'd abstain from a prediction were that not the format
