Simon through 7/5 6/7 6/2. Scrappy win, though Medvedev didn't offer that much resistance in the final set, after quickly going down a break. Had chances to break back right away, but failed. It all went downhill from there.

A nice win for the Nice native versus the Russian emigre to the Côte d'Azur in the not-so-Nice new tournament locale.

Somehow "Have a Lyon day!" doesn't sound so nice.

looking forward chung-berdych match up.

chung improved service return so much since they met last time.
chung's biggest problem was returning ATP level serves.
Now he is much more comfortable with them.

I was just going to ask you for a better one. This one is lagging - http://tinyurl.com/jvbuqjt
Eternally frustrated by this link. Trying to catch Edmund match and no batmanstream. Initially clicked Russian ok box and got to list of tennis matches, but didn't work. Now when I use this link in chrome I never get the list, just a dead video page. In Edge I get the list, but the links don't work. Updated flashplayer from Adobe site. It still wants me to update from this site and I'm just not doing it.;) Any ideas? What OS are you using?

Sorry, I have no idea. Others have had trouble with the link also, unsure whether it's a location thing or something else.
 
Delpo put on a consummate preformance against a tricky opponent.


Halys can only rise up the ranks he was impressive. 12 aces on slow clay in 2 sets.

Kyrgios has lost the plot on the Kicker serve. Kicker 5-4 in 2nd on love hold. Kyrgios rifled one shot back and nearly hit Kicker. No big deal so far.:confused:

Little ball kid delay and Tricky DFs the third set to Kicker.:eek: Kicker really had the range on Kyrgios's serve on return that last game.;)

You're only a real fan if you own the t-shirt.

That reminds me the Australian open is over.

Who will win this pre-RG warm-up tournament?


One thing I'm very surprised by is why Edmund (#50) and Chung (#66) have to play qualifiers while Monteiro(#98), Dzumhur (#93), Albot (#86), Istomin (#82), Seppi (#76) and Berlocq (#68) have been directly accepted without a wildcard or whatever. Can anyone explain this for me because I totally do not understand this. Seeing someone like Edmund play qualies in an ATP 250 is absolutely ridiculous
Because seeding on clay makes no sense.

Just saw the Kyrgios highlights. What a freaking joke this guy is. Doing senseless between the legs shots on crucial moments of the match and tanking certain points. Hard to root for.
Don't think that he's bad on clay per se. There's no reason for that, except maybe his flat bh (but it's not like everyone put loads of topspin on their backhand anyway). His movement is just not top notch which is clearly because he doesn't practice enough.

Pretty pathetic to be this grown up and far in the game and still say pathetic things like "yeah I'm not sure how much work I want to put into this. I was thinking about taking a couple of months of after the AO". "I like talking to Murray because he doesn't need to talk about tennis"
Dude just quit if you hate it so much. This is becoming an embarrassing display, just painful to watch at times.

Edmund vs Simon tonight. They've met twice before, both encounters on the grass. Hmm, looking at Kyle's results for 2017, I thought he had posted better results than that. Should be an interesting match, we'll see how aggressive Kyle is off the Simon 2nd serve. At least Simon does a good job of finding the backhand wing on serve even though it's weak...

Won't be able to watch the Simon vs Edmund match, but I don't know how I would watch a replay? Anyone? They're not streaming on tennis tv. Asked on the torrent site as well, if someone could cap it. Where else could I catch a replay?

Speaking tennis wise, Kyrgios is miles ahead of Zverev. The only two things that are holding Nick back are his attitude and being very prone to injuries. Agree, Sasha has a very good mental game, but physically, and technically Kyrgios is ahead of him.
