Magician wants another mark lol. Cuevas given the point by Thiem on wrong mark. Magician does it.

Wrong mark lol. How can they get is so wrong?

 

[Meles]

[2HBH-DTL]

wow what a shot by thiem

 

[Meles]

Magician Cuevas saves 4 BPs so far.

 

[rainingaces]

Good hold

 

[Meles]

Cuevas holds for 2-1.

 

[Charleneriva]

Smart play there from Cuveas to save 0-40 and 4BPs. I was worrying he might DF or couldn't put his 1st serve in again.

 

[Meles]

Wrong mark lol. How can they get is so wrong?

Thiem just didn't want Cuevas to get going before his serve game. It was 40-15. The Magician is a professional cheater/illusionist.

 

[Zebrev]

Roberto Bautista Agut wins the point on the 1st serve of Pablo Carreno Busta. Set point. Set point #1 for Roberto Bautista Agut.

Roberto Bautista Agut wins the point on the 1st serve of Pablo Carreno Busta. The serve of Pablo Carreno Busta gets broken. Roberto Bautista Agut wins the 2nd set 6-1.

Just entering the playground after some two heavy days at the lawyer's office. Wasn't able to watch any match, did have a peek at the SB though now-and-then.
Another hard fought victory for Goffin, glad to see JMDP come through, and... WTF happened to Murray???

Watching Wawa-Paire now. Wonder if Wawa will tank yet once again, as it's not yet RG.

Cute outfit for Wawa. He looks like a parrakeet once again.

PCB V RBA 76 16 RBA serve,,PCB eats a breadstick with no butter.

I've noticed that Thiem and Zverev Jr's opponents are ofter cheaters, coincidence?

Zverev playing well, though.

Fabio happened. There is a thread by rainingaces.

no matter who wins, expect some racquet breakage!

Cuevas did MTOs to ice opponents serves in final of Rio and next event. Won both tournaments last year. Just watch the master in progress and enjoy.

 

[Zebrev]

They should rename the Stan match: Parakeet vs pear, the eternal struggle.

 

[TheMusicLover]

Yo. Don't know if I'll find time to read it... darn, looks like Murray's going down the sewers even faster than Djok.

 

[Meles]

Magician with failed skyball dropper that Thiem paddles away. 3 all

 

[TheMusicLover]

Can't help but love Wawa's outfit. Gorgeous colours.

 

[Zebrev]

He could win best in show!

 

[SeeingDusk]

How is Benwah Paire so good against Stan the Man?

 

[Zebrev]

Dominic Thiem wins the point on the 2nd serve of Pablo Cuevas. Dominic Thiem breaks the serve of Pablo Cuevas. Dominic Thiem leads 4-3.

 

[Meles]

Cuevas may pay for another DF...

 

[rainingaces]

5 doubles is inexcusable seeing how far back Thiem is.

 

[Meles]

Dominic Thiem wins the point on the 2nd serve of Pablo Cuevas. Dominic Thiem breaks the serve of Pablo Cuevas. Dominic Thiem leads 4-3.

Crushing backhand seals the deal.

 

[Charleneriva]

LOL. Thiem tricks Cueves with a moon ball, only to set up the BHDTL to win the BP. The match is pretty much over. Little resistance from Cuevas and his DF might even stack up more.

 

[TheMusicLover]

5 doubles is inexcusable seeing how far back Thiem is.

Well, yeah. Looks like Thiem is suffering from the Nadal-disease, standing way to far behind the baseline.
Problem is that Nadal is a lot better than Thiem, even now...

Not that it truly matters, though.

 

[Meles]

Magician covers out 0-15 with dropper.

 

[Zebrev]

Well Played Thiem!!

 

[TheMusicLover]

Wawa breaks because of an overcooked UE by Paire.

Must be due to the outfit.

 

[Meles]

Magician's magical return angle turned into Thiem BH winner.... return long and Thiem is through 7-6, 6-4

 

[Meles]

Wawa trolling Paire with Spumoni

 

[Gary Duane]

Wawa trolling Paire with Spumoni

Yikes, always hated stuff like that. You have to choke down several horrible kinds of ice cream to get to the chocolate.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Missing Rafas prescise 1HBH already

 

[SeeingDusk]

It must be a nightmare to play against Paire. If things aren't going his way, he begins to destroy his racquets and the property on the tennis court.

 

[Charleneriva]

Well, yeah. Looks like Thiem is suffering from the Nadal-disease, standing way to far behind the baseline.

Lol. At least that "Nadal-disease" might very well have saved him the 1st set today and probably the match as well.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Paires beard is just too much!

 

[Meles]

PCB passes for BP

Yonex must have just hired a 6 year old fashion designer.

 

[TheMusicLover]

It won't ever help him get past Nadal though.

Thiem is a disease for most of the field on clay.

 

[TheMusicLover]

Yonex must have just hired a 6 year old fashion designer.

It worked out pretty well in previous cases.

 

[TheMusicLover]

Paires beard is just too much!

Yes, it's awful.

I have no bloody idea where that current 'fashion' in male hairdo derives from.

 

[Raindogs]

Bennyballs "smooth and easy" service motion really letting him down.

Maybe take a little more time?

Even Dolgopolov be like you're kind of rushing it man.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Yes, it's awful.

Paire is a handsome guy, destroying his face like that Unfortunately he is not the only one doing so.

 

[TheMusicLover]

Paire is a handsome guy, destroying his face like that Unfortunately he is not the only one doing so.

Nope, it's a silly 'fashion' over here in Europe nowadays.

In my country, it's called a 'pratende kut'.
I'm so NOT going to translate that.

 

[Charleneriva]

It won't ever help him get past Nadal though.

Hard to say "ever". At least when Rafa gets older or his form takes a dip, Thiem might very well beat him on his own game.
