Teabaggin' Tomic!

Harrison is through. We will have an unseeded R16 competitor from that section with this and the minor upset by Baghdatis over Benoit's Balls.

Harrison living up to the initial hype. 90's mug saving tennis

Kuznetsov took out another seed, Ramos Vinolas, in straight sets. He awaits the Nadal/Seppi winner.

Great prep...a lefty Spaniard, no?

 

[stringertom]

If Nadal serves as badly as he is tonight, Kuznetsov could be a tussle for him.

Meanwhile, the roof is closed for the first time...so impressive!!!

Konya is a dark horse in the women's.
There are no dark horses in the men's field - winner comes from Djokovic, Murray, Stan or cilic.

 

[ForumMember]

Other than Djoker everybody is dark horse.

 

[stringertom]

Interested to see if the young Russian Khachanov has enough to support his huge serve vs Ninjakori, who can be troubled by Big Boy tennis.

 

[stringertom]

One set all for Khachanov; Tipsa (I don't like him) up two sets.

 

[DimitrovTheGoat]

Dimitrov is the only men's dark horse I can see.

Bencic on the women's side, but these two tourneys are going to be really top heavy. You'll see Djokovic/Murray and Serena/Halep taking the titles.

Del Potro? Kuznetsov? Baghdatis/Harrison? Almagro? Edmund? Dzumhur? Donaldson?

Tipsy looking good, will win US Open.

Pablo now Busta move on the tipsy Serb; 4-0 third.

Hope he doesn't choke this match away.

Could use those 21 points in the PPL!

He is losing a set to make sure I get full 5 points at Prediction league

Bad news for dark horses: Khachanov (down 2-1 on resumption; 4-6 to Ninjakori third set); Busta baked a breadstick in set 3 so Tipsa lead is sliced to 2-1.

Tipsy up an early break in the 4th though!

But Tipsy is 2-0 in 4th. Tipsy I like him.

Berankis is folding like a cheap Southwest Russian suit that @SoBad likes to model.

Pablo Busta a break back on the Tipsy Serb. He should lay off the Slivovitz.

"Give me 6 Schlitz's."
"**** it, whatever's free!"
"Open bar, dude!"

 

[stringertom]

3-3 fifth set, PCB vs Tipsy. This would be Busta's first win in five while Tipsy has a big advantage in marathon experience and success.

He also has a lot of experience with retirements and choking away seemingly insurmountable leads.

Prophetic.

 

[stringertom]

The Donaldson in charge vs Troicki, up a set and a break but this is USO'16 at the new Henry Heimlich Tennis Center. No lead is safe.

Delpo time. Cant help but think of a giant banana in that nike outfit though.

Haha yea thank god, that's too much yellow to look at. He is starting to mop the floor with Stevey J as we speak eh?

Yes.

He once said his idol was Fedr and after that shot I was like "We see it!"

I am excite.

That's what you get for trash-talking a guy everybody likes in the New York Times.

Everyone but Djokovic and Murray is a dark horse to be honest. Could possibly throw the likes of Monfils and Kyrgios in the mix as well but they are very dark horses. Thiem doesn't seem to be in the form of earlier in the year and I'm not sure this is the best surface for him. As for Zverev don't think he's ready to be in that conversation 4th round would be a good tournament for him I think and making steps forward. The other 4 not really worth talking about in my view.

Delpo and Thiem have a shot. May the best horse win.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Evans.

Kyrgios

Berankis is in a slump, but credit to Thiem -- he's not bad for a German. Big skull in the hangbag of his resume. Maybe Austria deserves to become an independent country even.

Skull in his hangbag???

Does that mean you imply his head is in his *******???

Before the internet, entrepreneurs in Eurasia who lacked personal office and transport used to walk around with bags hanging around, to keep their hands free for business activity. It's a historico-cultural reference that may not be easy for the masses to grasp.

 

[stringertom]

Funny that $crotum is a deleted word! Guess I should have said nut$ack instead!

Pouille always a dark horse at slams now. Up on RBA in another 5-set marathon.

 

[TennisHound]

No dark horses. No real upsets in this one. Novak will win it against Murray or Nishikori in the final. Probably Murray.

 

[slice bh compliment]

^vesely and youzhguys agree with this.^so muzzer and Nishikori are the dark horses?

 

[TennisHound]

Of course my #1 pick that I would like to see win it is Pouille! Man, he's just right on the cusp!
