Makes no sense at all

And Kyrgios frankly could use any points he can get. He might be a full time challenger player in less than a year at this rate

Maybe cause he is such a nice guy that he didn't want to take a spot away from low level singles guy ? but he wants to get his doubles ranking up so he play doubles only. He plays in 15 mintues. I wonder how he will do. Will he clown around or will he take it seriously ??

LMAO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, this is so funny. These guys are actually Picking on Kyrios all day long in this doubles match. They are picking on him even when he is at the baseline, not afraid of his passing shots at all.

Mugyios melting down in a challenger doubles match

Cant wait for this to happen frequently as he makes his transition to playing only these events

Well, Nick doesn't play a lot of Doubles. He plays mainly singles. That really showed as Kyrios positioned himself way too far to the sideline and didn't help out much at all with medium pace up the middle returns. Nick just let those go right thru. and Kruger was caught hitting low Tough backhand volley in the middle..... Nick is supposed to cut those off at the net...............

This match was actually very very good Lesson in Doubles, how a great singles player was a liability against 2 very good Doubles team.

This tournament is run like garbage. Bought tickets to see Isner play dubs a few days ago, show up last night no word of change of schedule. Watch Mackey Mcdonald play D. Brown first and after the match they announce the local club pros will play an exhibition when Isner/Harrison are supposed to play doubles. They claim that they announced it on all their outlets, I show the tournament director their own website still doesn't have the cancellation due to Harrison getting sick. They said they found out at noon, turns out they posted something on their twitter at 5:30 PM and didn't tell anyone when they got there for the 7 PM singles match.

Is Mackenzie McDonald the greatest athlete we have ever seen?

Mackie is legit top 20 player. very similar to Goffin actually. I think Goffin has slightly better serve but other than that they have very similar game.

What happened in Doubles ? Who's in Doubles final ?

Pavic/Roelofse vs. Giron/Novikov

Not exactly the most exciting doubles finals there could have been out of this draw... but a couple LONG TIME challenger grinders (Novikov for example)

Giron/ Novikov was actually 1 point away from getting beat in the 1st round of doubles......LOL. Since they got by that match, they been on a roll right into the final

Mackey completely fell apart in the 2nd and 3rd sets, he couldn't hit a ball in to save his life, it was painful to watch.

Mackie from what I am hearing has a worst flu in history of human civilization during the final. He did his best by winning the 1st set but then when he lost that 2nd set tiebreaker, he was in no shape and should have gone to ER

Maybe he caught it from Ryan Harrison who pulled out of both singles and dubs with the flu.
