Yes Thiem, and Thiem played only one hour and fifty minutes today to beat Monfils! Rafa has now played for three hours, hopefully Rafa can use his guile and everything to beat Thiem ASAP.

Lucky for Rafa, he wins the third set TB, but as usual falters while serving for it with a SP. Luckily Kyrgios himself makes a DF too and then hit his shot into the net at SP to lose the TB and the third set. […]

Rafa has himself to blame for not taking his chances in the first service game of Kyrgios in the second set; in addition to that he throws in a poor service game to lose the set.

When Kyrgios is ahead in a set, […]

Stan is the perfect player to deal with a Djoko, and his ‘clone’ player that is Medvedev. His game is just the right game to deal effectively with theirs.

I actually think that when Delpo has his belief, he […]

It’s still Medvedev who may give Rafa a stern test in SF imo; Meddy plays like a Djoko except without the great ROS of Djoko and his consistency.

The worst kind of opponents for Rafa these days are those who d […]

Thiem struggled to get to R4; I really doubt he could trouble Rafa. Monfils may give Thiem a tough test and may even win it!

Do you see Fed’s improved BH in display now? I don’t!

The court is so slow and that favours Djoko, and I think the SF is always played in the evening, that makes things worse. For that reason, I think eve […]

Three sets. Sandrgen looks like he’s having injury issues, may even retire mid match!

Yeah unlikely, after nine losses in nine matches played, this won’t be an exception, judging from how well Djoko plays so far.

I think it will be the TOP four guys at the SFs. I expect Rafa to beat Meddy if both get there; as for Fed vs Djoko, I think Djoko will win even though I hope he won’t!

PS I expect Rafa to beat Kyrgios and t […]

It may be like AO2016 SF. Fed makes many errors and against a player like Djoko, that won’t do. Djoko will exploit all these errors or weaknesses.

True, after this he has Sandgren for the QF! Maybe that will be great in view of the impending SF vs Djoko.

Djoko has to beat Raonic first, may not be easy but he will come through; and Djoko is the best person […]

Why lol? It’s Fucsovics who loses the belief once Fed ups his aggression. It seems to me that Fucsovics was just contented to be able to win a set off Fed, as if that’s mission accomplished.

I thought the […]

Whoever of Fed or Fucsovics wins tonight, will have an easy opponent in the QF, as it looks like Sandgren has a thigh issue that may bother him in his next match.

Raonic may have a slim chance against Djoko, […]

From the scoreline, Raonic seems to be playing well at the moment, may be winning in straight sets against Cilic.

Rafa in three and Thiem in five.

Fucsovic in five and Raonic in four.

Strange that Rafa could come out of the gate playing aggressive tennis vs Kyrgios (as per their recent Wimbledon match), but once he sees Djoko across the net, he turns defensive and has to chase from behind oh so […]

A bit surprised that Khachanov has the energy to go five sets four and a half hours today, after his epic against M Ymer in five sets and also four and a half hours. Too bad for him, it’s not meant to be for him this time.

See, told you, Kyrgios wants to be like Fed! But now I doubt he has the energy to take out Rafa in the next round. If Rafa beats Kyrgios relatively comfortably, he’ll have Khachanov to thank for!

Vamos R […]
