Monster indeed



Apparently a serve ace from Johnson broke the court side TV screen. So the umpire is having to radio the Hawkeye results and announce them

Lol that's hilarious. Probably not so funny for the tournament organizers though.

 

[romeo8880]

He lost 6-2 in the third. Atrocious player.

 

[Marty Cintron]

Today is the day of Dolgopolov. He will play against Berankis.

 

[jdubbs]

Yeah I saw him playing a challenger a long time ago. Was watching because I bet on the match and remember thinking: "God this guy is so so bad. He looks like he'd be better off playing college football". Now he's suddenly top 100. Must be because of his serve mainly.

See: Isner, John

 

[djones]

What happened to Bolleli?
Wasn't he the guy who barely won any matches on hard court the past couple of years?
All of a sudden he looks like quite a capable player on the surface.

They got it working again towards the end of the match... Loose connection I guess got rattled.

Now on to Bolelli / Bagdatis. Bolelli is playing really nice winning tennis.
Bag is serving to stay in it!

Old guard being shown the way here - I get similar sense when watching Hewitt...

To be fair Bag is having a bit of a mare, not serving well at all and just not on it enough today.

They are the same age.

Del boy (affectionate use - was much loved UK comedy character) just walked out on court. V Pospisil!
Nice to see Juan Martin back! Missed him.
Could be a nice match up - praying Del's wrist is ok or he's learnt a good one hand backhand with some nice top and slice
He's been saying his wrist feels fine in training... Dropped to 616!

Should be an entertaining match, not sure who I want to win!

Yeah, I like Pospis but am rooting for Del P today, cos...

 

[speedysteve]

Nice BH slice from the big man... Gets an error from VP

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

i'm wondering what happened with marcos... 62 62, what a horrible loss !

i hope delpo does well, at least...

 

[speedysteve]

yay Del P's on the board!

yeah, he normally gives a good account of himself...
Delpo

Nice BH slice from the big man... Gets an error from VP

I can't watch the match. Please can someone tell me how Delpo is playing?

Does he look okay hitting the backhand?

Thanks

 

[speedysteve]

Del P is mixing up one handed and two handed - can't remember if that was his usual style?

 

[speedysteve]

Thanks

Early days. Looks ok so far...

 

[speedysteve]

Delpo to serve... lets see

 

[Pagoo]

Okay, thanks.

 

[speedysteve]

Nice first serve and good FH's. 15-0

He tried a one handed BH drop shot and missed 15-15

Another big serve VP nets. 30-15

Rips a FH and VP can't return it 40-15

2nd serve, VP outs the BH Game Delpo

 

[speedysteve]

Pospis can't live with Delpo power at the moment...
VP 0-30 down

 

[Pagoo]

He seem to be doing okay.

Thanks for the updates.

 

[speedysteve]

Delpo's grunt on FH is scaring VP I think

3 break points come and go Pospisil holds...

 

[speedysteve]

He seem to be doing okay.

Thanks for the updates.

yeah - 3 all on serve so far.
Delpo should have taken that last game but is a bit rusty I guess.

 

[romeo8880]

Shame if Coric is getting involved with match fixing this early in his career. Odds dropped dramatically just before the match.

 

[speedysteve]

Delpo holds.
His kino tape comes loose and is removed!

 

[speedysteve]

I'm being pressured off tennis by family now - will watch the rest on catch up later...
come on Delpo!

 

[InvisibleSoul]

Interesting.

Down 3-1 in the third set now!

 

[widmerpool]

Shame if Coric is getting involved with match fixing this early in his career. Odds dropped dramatically just before the match.

So he throws away tens of milliions of dollars in future earnings for what? $20k? $50k? Plus the risk of his career ending in his teens?

 

[JJGUY]

oh lord, what an awful service game from Delpo! Pospisil took the 1st 6:4

 

[InvisibleSoul]

Making a show of it if that was the case. Back on serve now.

Any details of the betting patterns and/or odds changing for the Coric match?

 

[romeo8880]

Delpo the choker.

 

[romeo8880]

I'm not saying it's the case just saying how strange it was for coric to go from -330ish all the way to only -250 just before the match.

 

[romeo8880]

Delpo pressure free now that he lost the first set. Definitely not expected to come back and win in 3.

 

[InvisibleSoul]

Delpo pressure free now that he lost the first set. Definitely not expected to come back and win in 3.

And... he breaks to start the second set.

 

[sabala]

DelPo definitely has the manliest grunt on the tour.

 

[romeo8880]

Delpo slicing the backhand way more than he used to because of the wrist.

 

[JJGUY]

Coric won the TB!

and some people are really just that stupid and unreasonable. :evil:

 

[AnotherTennisProdigy]

Wait what, Coric match fixing? Did we watch the same match?

 

[JJGUY]

some people should be banned here for spreading rumors!

[speedysteve]

Managed to stay with the match on tablet, while family watched Indian Summers drama!

Nice work in the 2nd set so far Delpo!

 

[speedysteve]

Yeah Delpo has a big grunt!

 

[romeo8880]

Hopefully coric is able to be fit for his next match against goffin. Also, all you "rookie" posters on here are so full of drama and always looking to start internet fights like little girls. You wonder why you get banned. Grow up.

 

[La Grande]

Not a fan of his game, but Coric is a winner for sure.

 

[JJGUY]

LOL, look who's talking? a known cheater in the WTA IW SDL, nice try tho! :twisted:

[romeo8880]

Delpo is playing very well but will be exposed by top players at the moment bc he's camping in that backhand corner.

 

[speedysteve]

Delpo's slice not working that time.
Pospisil breaks back

 

[underground]

Oh no Delpo....this guy is too fragile...

 

[speedysteve]

Delpo holds ankle... pulled up mid swing. looks to have tweaked it

 

[counterloop]

Uh oh.....Delpo injured again? This guy cant catch a break....the Derrick Rose of tennis.
