2015 ATP Miami Open -- MS1000 (Official) Thread

[Daized]

Del Potro cannot beat any player who plays well enough to exploit that backhand. He looks absolutely awful and not match fit. A shame really, and it's hard to watch.

 

[speedysteve]

He's moving bit better... fingers crossed!

 

[underground]

30 winners for Pospisil and only 3 for Delpo?!

 

[counterloop]

Lol @ Delpo avoiding the two handed backhand by any means necessary. I don't blame him at all......he has been tortured by injuries and now just wants to be able to remain on tour for a full season.

True that.

 

[bjsnider]

Is Delpo playing with a blacked out prototype frame? Looks like it from here.

 

[JJGUY]

TB, Delpo looks a litte dejected

 

[speedysteve]

I feel delpo is flagging a bit. Understandable
Tie break time

 

[Algo]

Nice point to get the mini-break

 

[speedysteve]

Pospisil bit brittle

 

[speedysteve]

More mega fh's from the big man

 

[La Grande]

Bags of power from Delpo! He seems to have aged 20 years since USO 09

 

[Daized]

The sad thing is that Pospsil is showcasing how bad of a player from the ground he is that he can't make Del Potro pay for basically having no backhand.

Yes seems odd. Maybe he's being nice?

 

[FudgeMyn]

It's like im watching junior tennis again

 

[JJGUY]

shoot, DF on SP!

 

[speedysteve]

Don't think Delpo wants this set really

 

[Shangri La]

Did Pospsil model his serve motion after Sampras?

 

[Emiliano55]

Delpo came back to play without backhand ? Seriously ? I mean, this is tragicomic. Can't believe the man is not using his backhand at all at this comeback. He should have been prepared for this, not to play and "see what's going on"

 

[Shangri La]

The stadium is very full for an early round match.

 

[FudgeMyn]

JESUS christ delpo

 

[speedysteve]

Erratic serving from Delpo. Near the end now

 

[heftylefty]

Yes seems odd. Maybe he's being nice?

Good Point. He is Canadian. They are know to have the market cornered on "Nice".

 

[Emiliano55]

Good bye Delpo. Come back when you are prepared to hit a single top backhand.

 

[La Grande]

Haha crowd was completely pulling for Delpo

 

[romeo8880]

Very poor performance from del Potro. Still pushed awful Popsicle with one hand hahah.

 

[speedysteve]

Good Point. He is Canadian. They are know to have the market cornered on "Nice".

10 char

 

[Shangri La]

Delpotro was only pushing the ball back on the MP.

 

[Wendigo]

Df-ace-df.

 

[Daized]

Glad that Del Potro loses here. He has no business playing in this condition. It hurts to see him like this, but he really has to be able to hit some topspin backhands if he wants to come back in any capacity. Even his serve was letting him down.

 

[counterloop]

Delpo is tired of sitting and waiting for his wrist to fully heal or maybe he thinks it will never be back to "normal" again and just wants to try to change his style a bit in order to get back on tour and make some money. He can't win with just a backhand slice.

 

[Ripster]

Del Potro can't play like this. He's got to be able to go back to his normal aggressive game and that means hitting over the ball on his backhand.

 

[JJGUY]

Delpo is not ready yet, better stay off the court! That was a really sad match to watch.

 

[PeteD]

at what point do we face the "F" word . . .

 

[marc45]

got caught up in the big news story, so only saw a little...tough reviewers here...was he hitting sliced one-handed backhands?...hate missing a long, key tiebreaker

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Well if he is fit he should keep playing matches. Otherwise he is not coming back without match practice.

 

[The Green Mile]

Dolgopolov takes the first set 6/4 against Berankis.

 

[marc45]

Delpo said after the match that he wants to play tennis and will learn a new backhand if he has to

 

[The Green Mile]

Dolgo has the early break. Leads 2-0.

 

[m2nk2]

I didn't see Delpo match. How was it? Did he play alright? Or more like AO?

 

[Pocalypse]

Why is Djokovic playing doubles...this is like the third time already and the season isn't even 20% done yet. What's the point?

 

[President]

Like a one hander?

Canadians are very polite . If someone bumps into us we say 'Sorry'

 

[Cortana]

I'm so sad because of Delpo :/

I want the Wimbledon 2013 SF Delpo back!

 

[Djokovic2011]

Lol, we Brits are just like that too.

 

[marc45]

I'm assuming, yes...didn't see the match, it sounds like he was doing it today, judging from some here

 

[JumpSmash]

Lol, we Brits are just like that too.

Can't say the same for Americans. If we bump someone, we curse them for being in our way! :mrgreen:

 

[pound cat]

Lol, we Brits are just like that too.

I think we got it from the Brits Huge numbers of Canadians have a British background.


But we don't drink much tea at all.

 

[merwy]

Wow Zverev and Coric both won! When I looked at the score I saw they were both struggling, especially Coric. These young guys seem very strong mentally.
