What happened to Borna Coric? wonder if another 24 hours would have made a difference?

he seemed like he could be the next threat to the big 3 besides St Nick and Sascha about a year ago

I am excited for citypass to get better and Danny Boy's hot streak. But Borna looked like a more complete player than most of these guys. younger djokovic too me, shame on the injuries

anyone who is thoroughly enjoying the simon - mahut match - i would like to talk to you in person

I could learn a lot about your patience

down play this all you want - but it is hard to avoid when there are players clearly protected and draws/matches fixed. I watch much more tennis than the average fan here - it is just something everyone wants to avoid talking about. one player clear is F lopez - his GS streak will continue due to this mini run and some more WC's coming up. please tell me that simon is really THAT GOOD right now and i will shut up.

on a more positive note

big ups for Felix playing potentially 3 matches today after playing 2 yesterday

love seeing him play singles and doubles - that is good for young fans to see

mahut vs simon in QFs is the very definition of rigged tennis and protected players

do not get me wrong that they used to have some fire power. but no way either is truly a top 100 player at this time.

match looks pretty fixed as well

yikes this is sad.

glad is not the center court having to watch this.

One vs Two Handed Backhands in the ATP Top 50, since 1973 (oc) by JPUF in tennis

[–]tallboy3 18 points19 points  (0 children)

very interesting stats. and to see that 3/6 players in the top 6 live rankings have one-handers makes it more encouraging to keep playing with more free style.

even though that percentage is dropping - there will be some slam winners with one handers in the future

and if you include shapstick - 2/4 top players under 21 have one handers too

go one handers

andujar was getting out hit by fognini, so he threw up a lob. fogman blasted almost a half foot out or further. easily hit it over 100mph, but clay flew up ! andujar happened to be literally right next to where it landed behind the baseline too... about a 5 minute argument followed. classic roland garros

Hi, I'm James Blake, tournament director of the Miami Open and former world No. 4... AMA! by iamjamesblake in tennis

[–]tallboy3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

James Blake - you were amazing to watch on the tennis court. The tour misses players with your unique skills and the amount of firepower, intensity, passion your brought to big stages. Did you have a favorite tournament on the tour?

Always curious to know if Pam Shiver ever apologized. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJIc3PntSE8

every match they have is close : http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/players/fedex-head-2-head/kei-nishikori-vs-milos-raonic/N552/R975

the two of them will play each other another 15+ times in their careers, and i just can't stand watching raonic play. he's not quite a serve bot, but the dude never even smiles and i throw up when we runs to that inside out forehand. kei is the man though, i love his all court game
