Well, that's one way to look at it. The other is to notice that he took out Mannarino and Ruud, and that he only got one walk-over. I guess we'll see what level he brings. There are some quality wins there.
So, Alca-"glass"? That could become reality. He has been injured quite a bit. People harping on Nishikori probably didn't actually pay attention to his career. He nearly always followed up a big win with a withdrawal. The guy was literally made out of glass. It wasn't really that his game...
Simple: hideous strokes, no aesthetic value whatsoever to his game. I can't think of a player I enjoy watching less in that regard. Love that he can win so ugly, but much more interested in the beautiful game. He'll never really be on my radar.
Story of Korda's life. Why, oh, why do I root for the guys who have trouble between the ears? Love Sebi's game. Don't love the walkabouts he goes on in soooo many matches. Still, I spent all those years rooting for Kohli...
Should be obvious. Lovely strokes. Sometimes kept his head on straight. Never quite good enough to get past players ranked higher, especially the big three, but I think it was mostly his German mind. Still, I don't see anyone like him around at the moment. Maybe the Moose will fill the void...
Just watched the highlights. Yes!!! Struff was easily the best player around without a title to his name. Now he has that particular monkey off his back. Way to bull through the tournament!
