Raonic is one of those players, i cant put my finger on it, but he just leaves me feeling cold ….
A good day for the Spaniards; if I’m not wrong, all but one of them (Robredo) get through to R3 – Rafa, GGL, PCB, ARV, RBA.
Tomorrow, there’ll be at least one more who will get to R3 – either Ferrer or Feli.
I saw the last of RBA’s match with Kuku. He really had to battle it out for that one!
But it’s nice to know that the Spanish players have done well.
Nny!…Me and u got a No1 and No2 respectively on TDL…but from the bottom that is!!!…Hehehehe..kpuppy and rc awesome at the top….
MA,
I know that I am doing poorly in the bracket challenge. I wish now that I had gone back and revised some of my picks for the men. I expect to do poorly with the WTA bracket. But I usually do pretty well with the ATP. Not this time!
All I want is for Rafa to win! Then I won’t care about anything else!
Same for me NNY. Worst first round slam picks I think I’ve ever had. After probably my best ever in Melbourne. For crying out loud I was literally like top 5 in the world after Melbourne round one and now I’m a solid millionth or so lol. I blame the clay. I hate playing on it so I hate picking on it??
Benny,
I just saw your reply! At least I am not the only one! You know your tennis, too! As I think I do! But I guess it’s just the law of averages catching up!
?
Nny!…Ohh!!..That’s okay!..don’t be too upset k?Remember,we join this just to have fun and not just testing our tennis skills..even though it’s feeling really great if we’re end up at the top,but if not…we can always try another time,right Nny?..There’s plenty of chance at the front…Okay?
Besides,i doubt we would pick another name other than what we’re already choose…We submitted our Bracket when we felt that we’re satisfied with our picked,right?Nny..if we look at our Bracket,some of the picked that we lose was out of our control..such as Sascha,Tsonga,Delbonis,Sock,Simon,Mahut,Mischa,Medvedev,Almagro…Next time,we can discuss what we should pick and what’s not okay?
MA,
Thanks! I will be fine! It’s just for fun! Can’t win ’em all!
Those players who lost make up quite a list! Even though I did not think Zverev would go really deep, I did not think he would go out in the first round either. So that was a pick that I did intend to correct. I have gone back and changed a few after thinking about it. Not many, but sometimes I did think better of it. But most of my picks I have to stand by. If I am wrong, then that’s the way it goes.
Heaven help me if I ever start taking myself or my picks in the bracket too seriously!
?
Nny!!…Yay!!That’s the spirit!!
I like clay court tennis when there’s mixture of defense and attacks, both shorter points and long rallies; not when there’s only long rallies after long rallies like it’s being played in the past traditionally.
I think the clay courts are playing quicker these days, and so there are shorter rallies > longer rallies these days (looking at the stats).
I don’t like clay court tennis to become like HC or even grass court tennis; neither do I want to see long rallies after long rallies when neither player knows how to end the points sooner. A balance of defense and attacks, and a balance of long and short points is the best going forward, on clay.
Completely agree with you. I love modern variable claycourt tennis. I can still remember how boring it often was a few decades ago with endless rallyes and moon balls. But so was Wimbledon! Nothing against the individual players, but some of the worst tennis at Wimby was produced by Sampras and Ivanisevic and players with a similar style. I like that nowadays players with very different styles have chances on all surfaces. Guga Kürten was one of the pioneers in that respect. While he never made it beyond the quarters in other slams, he was nevertheless quite successful beyond the red dirt. He even managed to go toe to toe with the likes of Sampras, Agassi and Safin on hardcourt, and won the Year End Championship (at the time in Lissabon) beating them all and snatching away the year-end No 1 position from Safin. Unfortunately his tall, thin and lanky frame gave in far too soon and ended his career when he was still quite young 🙁
I didn’t want to imply that Sampras, Ivanisevic, Becker and others played bad tennis. They were brilliant players, but especially on grass their brand of tennis often was as unwatchable as the tennis of the dirtball specialists of previous areas.
Murray is out of sorts again as Klizan is up a break in the fourth set.
He was complaining to the chair umpire about a bad call. But Klizan took a page out of Fog’s book by drop shorting him a few times.
Andy needs to calm down and get it together.
I agree with you that as great as those players were, it got boring watching two of them playing each other. However, watching someone like Agassi play against those big serving grass guys was awesome because of the contrast in styles.

MA,
Okay, I found it! Nice to read thoughts from Tim Herman on Rafa’s quest for La Decima!
I agree with him!
Thanks again!
??

congratulations to me
