A good field at Montreal despite the absence of Fed and Djoko (and Delpo, Anderson due to injuries).

There are so many good matches even at R3 stage, esp Thiem vs Cilic, Khachanov vs FAA, Sasha vs Basil, even […]

It’s not only against Kyrgios’s serve but against others’ too. He’s just not good with his ROS, just slightly better than Shapo though. FAA is better than them at his ROS, imo FAA has a more complete game (t […]

Er.. Tsitsipas has already played 53 matches so far before coming to Montreal, that’s crazy! So it’s not just Wimbledon or after, but the whole year so far! It’s cumulative effect I believe; this is his secon […]

I think Tsitsipas has overplayed so is feeling the physical strain now. His level is so up and down from match to match (he’s more like Cilic these days, just don’t know what to expect from him in any match!). […]

Rafa in two; Tsitsipas in three.

Hi Kevin, I agree with you about Rafa and his ability to generate pace and power but the general perception by most people, of Rafa and his tennis, is that he’s a counterpuncher.

I think it’s because Rafa […]

Littlefoot, even before the Acapulco match, Kyrgios already had a dislike for Rafa. He said it himself, once he saw Rafa’s name in the draw, he would do his best to beat whoever so that he could meet Rafa. To m […]

I think you’re mistaken about Rafa, Rafa wasn’t saying that Kyrgios’s underarm serve was disrespectful, in fact he said it’s perfectly within the rules. What was disrespectful was Kyrgios’s behaviour towards t […]

Littlefoot, I just don’t understand why Kyrgios dislike Rafa (and Djoko) so much and tries to intimidate them all the time, whilst he’s so friendly towards Tsitsipas (and Fed).

Well, I think perhaps Fed is […]

Kyrgios is helped very much by his big serve. In terms of talent, I doubt he’s better than any of the big four.

Tsitsipas and Medvedev are no big four, and Kyrgios barely beat them. Granted, Kyrgios is having […]

The FO match vs Stan was even more painful when he had 27 BP chances but let 22 of them slipped away; and he won one more point than Stan – 195 vs Stan’s 194! What a way to lose a winnable match! Tsitsipas is s […]

Tsitsipas really needs to go improve his ROS! His ROS is poor for a top ten player.

He’s developing a bad habit of losing tight matches where he has/had chances of winning – like the Miami match vs Shapo, F […]

Thiem wins it in the end, congrats to him. Well done!

All three of them (De Minaur, Opelka and Goffin) were knocked out already in R1 or R2.

Rafa confirmed for Montreal, not sure about Cincy. Fed and Djoko skip Montreal, mostly probably playing Cincy.

Kyrgios having a hard time putting away a qualifier I believe. I’m more impressed with his opponent, making Kyrgios worked hard for the win!

Oh, there’s De Minaur and Opelka too; Goffin as well! Gosh, who will win the title?

No write up from Ricky about Washington Citi Open?

It’s such a strong field there not unlike Hamburg this year. We have Tsitsipas, Khachanov (already lost to Tsonga), Medvedev from the TOP ten, and then C […]

So the comeback kid fails this time but what a match! Only two points separates the two, but the match is full of errors from both. Basil almost loses this one, lucky for him to survive as the defending champion. […]

Looks like another come from behind win for AZ; this Basilash guy looks rather one dimensional to me, only hitting hard CC most of the times, hardly any DTL shots, so predictable.

AZ has turned into a comeback […]
