Raonic has fallen from sixth in to outside the top 8 seeded slots and draws #1 Jacques Chaussette 1R.
 
I'd like to see JMDP have a good Murcan run, this would be a good start.

I could get behind that. ¡Ve a Juan Martin!

As much as I'd like to find a 'Murcan to cheer for, I'm having trouble. I think the sport would benefit greatly from a dynamic surging American tennis star. Sadly, I just don't see it in the cards in the near term. :(
 
Isner facing Albot again?:p

Nice field.
This event is really loaded this year. Look at these matches:
Raonic favored slightly over Sock in first round
- the rest of that quarter has players all in nice form save Opelka perhaps

Kygrios vs Anderson QF:eek:

http://www.ultimatetennisstatistics.com/inProgressEventForecast?inProgressEventId=71
Shapovalov actually favored over Karlovic and in a nice quarter where Querrey might be ripe for the picking after a run to the final in NY tomorrow (Fritz lurking for his first match)

Tiafoe and then Chung may get cracks against Delpo in his 2nd and 3rd matches.:oops:

Some young talent may pop out of the quarter in with Chung (3 Q spots around him) in Delpo's quarter:
Cameron Norrie fresh of Davis Cup heroics against Spain
Thiem beater Ramanathan from India and @sureshs fave
Bublick from Russia and potential Milan entry this year

The other slot is with Donald Young in the Kyrgios quarter.
 
There's just something so entertaining about watching younger players or first time opponents play off against Ivo. I can't help but get excited for matches like these. Used to be similar for Simon as well. Generally a real good test is in store.

How many return points is Denis going to win? Make your predictions now lol...

You're not a mental beast until you've defeated Karlovic having been aced 40 times, and defeated Simon despite committing 100 unforced errors.

Both players make you play badly for different reasons. That's a true test of mental fortitude, winning those type of matches.

A Floridian tennis centre with no parking and no room for expansion. What a scandal!

On a more serious note, it looks like a rather charming and easily accessed location.

Rough for Aussie JP Smith. Came through qualifying really well but thanks to Kyrgios withdrawing which gives Raonic a seed it leaves a spot open for someone to play top seed Sock, and it goes to Smith.

Hope he can cause a big upset.

Give Korda some time. He will be good!
 
Youzhny - apparently only one of three top 100 players still around from when Federer won his first slam, or some such.
I suppose Lopez is the other. Feli debuted the same year, Youzhny in 99.

Actually, on second thought, that can't be right. Ivo, Gasquet, Benneteau, etc were around. It would be interesting to see some sort of chart...
 
Chung’s blister not healed up? That looked nasty. Was wondering about his timeframe for recovery.
 
Nice win for Tiafoe to avenge his Brisbane beatdown by Ebden. Probably has another beatdown rematch from January in Oz on his mind now...JMDP is next if the #2 seed wins vs Chardy. h2h is 0-2 but Acapulco'17 was close (6-7 in the third).
 
I’m only getting Rio and Marseilles so far on TennisTV (just had to renew £89.99 for the year).
Website states 12 matches promised so I guess they start at the QF stage.
