Rajeev Ram plays Bernie Tomic 1st Round AGAIN in Acapulco this week!!!!

[SanJoseState1975]

I cannot believe they play each other again this week 1st round in Acapulco.

Tomic TANKED the 2nd set last week after losing the first 7-6, so Rajeev easily won the second set.

What do you think will happen this week????

I think Rajeev will give Bernie another LESSON this week, Rajeev looked really good in Delray Beach last week, losing a tough match to Sam Querrey in the Finals.

They play on Tuesday

Unless Ram's tired from the short turnaround - it's a six-hour flight, but only a one-hour time change - I think he will win again.

Question is whether Tomic wants to be there or would rather just hop on back to Miami and drive his Ferrari up to Delray Beach.

 

[helterskelter]

Given that the flight is east-west, I doubt there were any red eyes last night. The match didn't finish until 5:30 or so anyway. So, my guess is that Ram is flying out to Acapulco this morning. He might well be tired tomorrow. But I guess that players are used to competing straight off a flight.

>What do you think will happen this week????

What do most people think when a player ranked 60 plays someone 40 ranks above him? Anything other than Tomic victory in straight sets would be unexpected and an upset, is it not? Irrespective of that fact that Ram won last week against Tomic, I expect a different result this week.

Get him again Rampras!!!!

Add a poll!

Ram wins again, though I'd rather see Tomic win this.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tomic will win. This tournament offers bigger points and he has to defend all of them unlike last week where he was only defending 45 points.

 

[SanJoseState1975]

I have added a Poll, hope is OK???

I am going with Rajeev in 3 sets !!!!!

 

[Max G.]

Recovering after a big week is hard. Players who do not reach finals routinely often struggle with that. Tomic in 2.

 

[atp2015]

It's going to be Tomic d Ram 6-2 6-3

 

[Tshooter]

I've got a good rule of thumb. Never pick Ram to win an ATP level match. I'm sticking with it.

 

[Wynter]

Tomic to deliver a beatdown.

Heck no !!! I want Tomic to lose every time he plays.

 

[atp2015]

Heck no !!! I want Tomic to lose every time he plays.

I'm with you on this - he must lose every match he plays because of what he is. But not expecting that to happen in his next match against Ram. He is a top 20 player for a reason.

Since having a go at federer, bernie has been playing really s**t
He needs to repent and beg king federer for forgiveness

I know the answer will be bad but I have to ask, what is Tomic? Also Tomic fell from the top 20 this week thanks to Paire

Well, Ram did beat him around a week ago. So hopefully, Rajeev repeats the same feat.............

 

[ArcspacE]

Tomic in 2

I like Tomic and his work ethic last year, but I've caught some pretty derisive sneers directed at his opponents and for me that says a lot. Kyrgios, on the other hand, "usually" is quite respectful of other opponents and says good shot, etc. before checking into the psychiatric ward. Kyrgios respects his opponents (probably even Wawa) and not so sure that Tomic can say that.

 

[SanJoseState1975]

Poll looks pretty close.

I hope to watch this match on Tennis Channel later today.

 

[atp2015]

Ram has fans! Who knew... not that there's anything wrong with him having fans - just surprised.

 

[SanJoseState1975]

Tomic wins the first set 7-5

 

[atp2015]

Tomic wins the first set 7-5

Ram got 3 more games than I had expected in the first set. But still expect 3 games in set# 2

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tomic wins with style in straight sets. Great stuff

 

[SanJoseState1975]

Tomic wins 7-5.6-3

Tomic was named to Australian Davis Cup team by Leyton Hewitt today, maybe Hewitt told him he better shape up???

That was yesterday and Tomic was a quarterfinalist in Acapulco last year and had some points to defend. No surprise he played harder then his tankjob last week
