Up next is Sam I Am The Destroyer.

Read closer...all eight matches are listed in the order they are being played. I listed the start time of the first matches on each court, not each match start time.You left out the night and late afternoon matches, LOL. Shapo v. Kecmanovic (should be a cracker)
Gauff beat Barty 10-8 in a superTB after splitting sets 6-4 2-6.So Gauff and Barty are playing their Exho right now on center, but very hard to find a score. So, so irritated with Sling TV in US since online interface seems to have lost the sports extra package with Tennis Channel. Already to plunk down even $10 just to catch this match, but Sling's interface won't allow it.
Anyone have a feed or a score for this match? Its supposed to be broadcast on tennis channel.
Thank you. Heard it was a friendly and fun match. I've got this feeling the stadium was only half full. Somebody pulled out the check book for that match? Its quite hot the last few days so may be a hard sell.Gauff beat Barty 10-8 in a superTB after splitting sets 6-4 2-6.
Due to persisting rain and power outages, doubles will be moved to 11:00 am on Fri Aug 23.What are the chances we get any more play today?
1-6 6-0 6-0 Paire over Johnson...unless he was injured, Steve was thinking about 1R USO vs Kyrgiosity.That's ridiculous. Tanking for what; the possibility you might win a first round at the USO? I find the entire concept to be strange. The past is gone. The future is not yet created. All we have is the here and now. This isn't some philosophical exploration. This is the physical reality of our lives. For example, let's say you have a wonderful job that you enjoy very much. At some point, you'd like to move on, but not yet. Then, someone offers you an interview for a great job. Would you quit your job for the possibility of a great interview? Highly doubtful. No athlete, no matter how talented can predict how they'll perform in an upcoming tournament. A thousand things could happen between now and then - the universe presents us with many possibilities, but if we choose to refuse to live in the present just for the hope of what might be in the future, then we rob ourselves of life in its entirety. If a player wishes to "tank" a tournament for the hope of performing better in an upcoming tournament, then they have lost before they have begun.
He dropped a couple of deuces in those last two sets...2 points won on second serves in #2 and 2 points won on first serves to close. Paire taught him well in the first set, winning again just two points on second serves.What the heck happened to Stevie Johnson? Pulls a breadstick and then lets himself get double bagelled???
Truly a match worthy of the WTA!!
He should be finedHe dropped a couple of deuces in those last two sets...2 points won on second serves in #2 and 2 points won on first serves to close. Paire taught him well in the first set, winning again just two points on second serves.
Paire is not that good a returner so I think the ATP will be reviewing tape of this debacle.
Let’s see if they see the recorded play. I can’t watch so I’ll let them judge.He should be fined
Pretty suspicious. Let the powers determine cause.ST, are you suggesting Johnson tanked?
Not sure.hurkacz should win easily right?
Tanks a lot!ST=Strategic Tanking
ST=Stringer Tom
If anyone knows, ST it's ST.
I’m liking Hurkacz due to the unPairealleled flakiness of Benoit de Balles. Hurkacz latching on to Craig Boynton as his coach has been a masterful decision. They joined forces at IW and had immediate success (QFist without a M1K match win prior). He plays within himself on a regular basis.Not sure.
By tennis skills, I don't think it should be easy either way.
However, it was a very tough day of tennis the previous day for both of them, so fitness is going to be a factor, it might be easy one way or the other if someone's burnt out.
Paire's a headcase so he can always have a day where he just doesn't show up.
Not sure.

Paireilous stat! Maybe he hasn’t figured out the forehand is where to go vs Bennie.Hurky gets first set. Interesting stat, Hurky only made 1 point out of 9 with his second serve.
