Neither American giant had a good day.Opelka bloodbath! Won 2 games before quitting at 1-6 1-3.
And that should teach us to respect the new sibling names CERUNDOLO and FRUHVIRTOVA.Francisco Cerundolo has now escorted 18 of us to the funeral pyre with his three straight upsets of Griekspoor (1), Opelka (13) and now Monfils (4).
PAYOR: 4R Tiafoe
Williams, too, especially after last night. Bob Bryan a bit more than Mike in the singles.And that should teach us to respect the new sibling names CERUNDOLO and FRUHVIRTOVA.
We forgot to give honorable mention to some more sibs, but these have been around "forever" - the Ymers, the Pliskovas, the Radwanskas (Aga and Urszula) and the Kichenoks. All of these except Aga are stiil playing, although I haven't seen Krystina Pliskova in a while.Williams, too, especially after last night. Bob Bryan a bit more than Mike in the singles.
Not so much:
Thiem
Tsitsipas
Djokovic
Berrettini
Cerundolo deals the final blow, assisted by Phil Knight. Time for Sinner to ditch the Nikes after his second retirement in 18 months due to blisters.QF: Sinner

Hahaha.. damn it.Cerundolo deals the final blow, assisted by Phil Knight. Time for Sinner to ditch the Nikes after his second retirement in 18 months due to blisters.
Don’t feel lonely! Cerundolo took 18 others of us out. That comes up a bit short of the bloodbath when Herbert guillotined all but one player in 1R years ago at Paris-Bercy.
Different ailment. This time it’s blisters. The IW withdrawal due to illness happened before his match so it didn’t cause a SDL bloodbath.Hahaha.. damn it.
Seeing how others had gone out I was wary of betting against Cerundolo. Should have gone with someone else.
But what is it with sinners retirement? He withdrew at IW as well. He is proving to be a very unreliable pick.
