Sam Querry lost to a Mike Mnoh, a Challenger Circuit player. I have not kept up with Sam at all! He got married and afterwards, never seen him on the ATP MD matches after that! Querry rank is # 114.
 
Everything started to unravel for Goffin beginning in M-C’21 when Evans continued his surprising series of upsets (4 wins as underdog including Joe Kovic) to make SFs after edging the Belgian from a set down. Since then it’s been a skid as bad as his 2014-15 slump when he self-demoted to regroup on the Challengers circuit. Since that QF run last year he has had one 2-match win streak (Sydney) and gone 6-16 in tour MD matches.

Hope he gets back on track and avoids mishaps like misplaced court tarpaulins, mishit volleys and horrendous missed calls from chair umpires. He’s actually a slight favorite in the QF vs RCB.
 
What a great comeback by Goffin. Finished with an ace. GSM Goffin 5-7 7-6 6-3.

From the ATP Tour.
 
It's the same thing for almost every match with FAA, ridiculously loose forehands and no first serves when he needs them.

The forehand is more concerning on clay. They are out by ten miles....

Molcan defeated Auger-Aliassime. I told Gill Gross he was oversold on Felix's breakthrough when he finally won an ATP tournament earlier this year...
 
What an inspiring match by Tiafoe and Cuevas!
Tiafoe moves so quick around the court.
Lovely ace to finish the match!

Some entertaining rallies!!
 
Cornet
Ran out of energy in the 2nd set!
Up 4-0 and couldn't hold it together. :(
Drop shots sucks! She should watch how Badosa
plays them and learn from her! Slice drop shots that just clear the net.
 
Poor Isner... He just can't return and struggles to hit the ball over the net. I wonder how he could net the first serve with that height of his.
 
Great effort by Goffin to level up the score in the first set tie break, but not enough to win the first set. Roberto is just more consistent.
 
What an inspiring match by Tiafoe and Cuevas!
Tiafoe moves so quick around the court.
Lovely ace to finish the match!

Some entertaining rallies!!
I just watched the highlights... I think I'll watch the match next

I loves me some good Cuevas and Tiafoe Highlights
 
Also Houston claims that this is Exact same red clay as they use in French open... because they imported this red clay from there by ship. Is this true ??
