Garin had a break lead early but now he must hold at 4-5 to stay in the set, Escobedo is no slouch and Garin is no HC wonder.
Would be well deserved!Hurkacz with the opportunity to leapfrog both FAA and Federer with a win over Tiafoe tomorrow. Would be live ranked #10 for the first time while knocking Federer out of the top 10, perhaps for the last time.
Don't look now but this summer Jenson Brooksby has beaten FAA and taken sets off of Djokovic and Zverev - with a WTA serve and two-handed drop shots.
Not bad.
You lost me at beating FAA, especially after his fiasco today. And losing to Purcell in Tokyo or getting cut up by Lajovic at his nation’s biggest tournament. Felix is truly the boy with the big curl right in the middle of his forehead. His nadirs are very deep.Don't look now but this summer Jenson Brooksby has beaten FAA and taken sets off of Djokovic and Zverev - with a WTA serve and two-handed drop shots.

I saw him at the USO 4R vs. Djokovic in person. Despite the fact that the crowd clearly wanted to get behind him his antics the entire tournament left me with a questionable feeling. Part of it could just be the name 'Jenson Brooksby' and his general face.I'm just not a fan of "Biff". He has the same kind of smirk on his face as Zverev used to.
Anyone in top 100 can produce highlight reel shots. The depth in men’s pro tennis may not have ever matched current era, which probably will be deeper as we go along once the economics within the pandemic stabilize and Challengers get funded properly. The days of losing money to make the cut and get to ATP level are numbered.Have to be the only one in the planet watching this but Martinez just came up with one of the craziest passing shots I’ve ever seen.
running BH on a dime from like 10 feet behind the baseline, and in a small window as well. Just a reminder how ridiculously talented even a no name like Martinez is
Serve - volley - Isner in action. Boring match to be honest.
P.S. It is weird to be talking with myself here... Nobody else seems to be watching this...
Isner must be the luckiest SB alive with this height and the serve. I mean 99% of his service points end within 20 sec. Nice way to earn a living - handsomely too.
Yes, absurd, but true...The guy with the shortest service games played the longest match.
I will be ok with him losing to the likes of huby, zverev or even tsitsipas(slow court) . But losing to filip will be bad , hopefully he gets it done .Meddle gets a chance for revenge served very cold and late: his last loss at IW in 2019 was delivered by his 3R opponent Krajinovic. Conditions for their OoP coda matchup will be cool and windy. That fact may lead to a fairly low margin of victory but I still think Meddle gets it done, in two. Meddle is a very different critter than March 2019.
IMO, which may be flawed according to many a hard core armchair analyst here, too much is being made of a Meddle disadvantage based on court speed. The guy is a machine during summer/fall HC and Indoor HC tournaments (17-1 this year, 20-4 in 2020, 32-7 in 2019) on the ATP/slams schedule. The move to October is right up his alley. The only disadvantage I see is that the weather is very changeable this week and I hope he adapts to the cool weather (15 F degrees cooler than Sunday’s high) on Tuesday. Meddle is very definitely a creature of habit and would probably prefer he had a warmer day similar to Sunday to play his second match. He will get that from 4R on as it gradually warms each day.I will be ok with him losing to the likes of huby, zverev or even tsitsipas(slow court) . But losing to filip will be bad , hopefully he gets it done .
