Wimbledon 3rd round: Jerzy Janowicz (POL) vs Nicolas Almagro (ESP)

[rainingaces]

A fiery couple of characters, should make for a edgy game.

COME ON JERZY

 

[wintintu]

Has to be JJ

 

[rainingaces]

Has to be JJ

You know it does.

 

[1477aces]

Jerzy has been my new boy. Him in 4. I think he'll be a slam winner.

 

[grandmaster]

almagro is an absolutely chump, jj will win in straight sets.

 

[jm1980]

Almugro will beat a fraud bigger than himself in 4 sets, maybe 3

 

[Moose Malloy]

so this is what happens to the bottom half of the draw when Nadal & Fed go out. Almagro-Janowicz on Center Court.

 

[rainingaces]

almagro is an absolutely chump, jj will win in straight sets.

Almagro is actually better on grass then I expected he would be early on in his career I just thought of him as a clay court specialist but he ain't. He is more aggressive on grass which is why I suppose.

 

[JRAJ1988]

I'm guessing it'll be a tough match for both but I see Jerzy making the win in 4 or 5 sets.

almagro is the biggest minnow basher in the history of tennis. all his ranking does is show just what a quality minnow basher he is. you know if you lose to almagro, you suck.

 

[DunlopDood]

Big man, big serve, big game....Janowicz in 4!

 

[spinovic]

JJ in straight sets. I think he has a good shot at a SF and who would want to play him? This could be his coming out party to the world. Paris was his coming out party for dedicated tennis fans, but Wimbledon would introduce him to the casual fan.

 

[bullfan]

I think Almagro will take him. He chokes versus higher level folks, Jerzy is to new for him to have the choke thing going.

 

[OKUSA]

Almagro will get in his own way, doesn't matter who's on the other side of the net

 

[librarysteg]

Rooting hard for JJ. I think he's slowly, but surely pulling his game together. Getting a good run at a slam is just what he needs.

 

[Strategy]

Wow where did all this love for Jerzy come from ? Sounds like you guys are overrating him, I'm still saying Almagro in 4

 

[Big_Dangerous]

I'm interested to see what the betting line on this match is.

I wonder if JJ can be had for a steal.

JJ is a really solid player with an enormous serve, and Almagro's worst surface is grass.

I really see JJ pulling off the upset.

 

[bullfan]

I don't think so. He'll lose at a higher level. Sadly, Almagro could have beat Ferrer in AO, and pulled a total choke. He needs a certain history with players to choke.

Almagro won the one time they've played, and think he'll repeat.

I didn't know grass was Almagro's worst surface.

I voted Janowicz in 4.

The love starts here.

He has everything that is interesting in a tennis player, the never give up attitude, all around game, and bombs everything.

Thanks for posting.

I'll take Jerzy.

 

[Down_the_line]

Given all the seeds that have exited already, this seems like Final quality.

The problem is that Joe and Jane Schmo doesn't know who these people are....

 

[-RF-]

Almagro beat Janowicz at AO this year, no doubt he'll want revenge. The Legend in 4.

 

[Beryl]

Cheering for Jerzy, but Almagro is a tough out on any surface. JJ lost to him at the AO, would be good to get over the Nico hump.

 

[underground]

JJ will win against the choker.

When such a match is put on Centre Court on Wimbledon, you know that the tournament is a disaster. (I'm a JJ fan but this OOP is ridiculous)

 

[malbaker86]

Djangowicz in 5

JJ is a slight favourite 60% chance say the bookies.

 

[zagor]

Almaestro in 4.

 

[Incognito]

Almagro will be in a winning position and then chokes. Jerzy in 4.

 

[Steve0904]

I have a feeling Almagro is going to take this one.

 

[librarysteg]

Watching JJ move around court, I don't know how anyone can honestly compare him to the other big guys like Raonic and Isner. It's night and day.

 

[Rozroz]

JJ cannot dial into Magro's serves yet

 

[rainingaces]

Bp #2 for Janowicz saved with ace number 7

 

[librarysteg]

JJ cannot dial into Magro's serves yet

He's getting a feel for it now. Some good returns this game.

 

[librarysteg]

Feels like that came was for the set. JJ really needed that break. Still going with JJ in 4.

 

[Rozroz]

all i can see is JJ's bandages and i'm worried.

 

[librarysteg]

all i can see is JJ's bandages and i'm worried.

Has he said what the issue is? Strain? Something worse?

 

[Rozroz]

elbow problem.. stiff racket perhaps?

 

[Rozroz]

JJ breaks!!

 

[librarysteg]

There we go! JJ gets the break back. He's figuring out Almagro's serve, and Almagro seems to have already come down a few gears from the first few games.

 

[President]

Almagro's serve on grass is absolutely lethal but his movement is ATROCIOUS.

 

[rainingaces]

Janowicz is doing very well to break back.

 

[OKUSA]

Deadly dropshot again

 

[librarysteg]

Almagro starting to get that angry look on his face.

 

[Rozroz]

break here JJ

 

[kishnabe]

Alamgro choke please!

 

[librarysteg]

Almagro hits into the net with such authority.

 

[idioteque]

Man, Almagro packs a punch for his size. What a little pocket rocket.
