The Tennis Thread

Why are you still trying to elevate grass tennis while ridiculing its second most prestigious tournament. You really need to decide whether you’re coming or going here.

Yidocrite.

Big step up for Nadal from winning at Flushing against a bum like Kevin Anderson.

Raonic out.

Big Kevin Anderson crashed out yesterday in the first round.

3rd seed Grigor Dimitrov scrapes past 186th seed American qualifier McKenzie McDonald 8-6 in the 5th set.

Federer’s draw has just got a lot easier as Raonic and Querrey have now gone, leaving Gasquet as his only potential seeded opponent before the QFs.

Djokovic beat Monfils today.

He couldn’t, could he ??

Sad to see the fragrant Camilla Giorgi get knocked out :cry:

Stan hammered in straight sets. He should have skipped the tournament. Nowhere near fit on return after long injury lay off.

The reigning champion is two sets up.

He couldn’t, could he ?

Big ask at 36 and a half. The Great Man has gone a break down in the 3rd. Breaks straight back. 3-3 now in the 3rd.

It would be some achievement to get to the last 4, never mind win the thing

Would love to see del potro win this. Wawrinka was nuts to comeback for this. Should have pulled out and played a few of the lesser tournaments after this and then look at indian wells and miami to get back in time for a serious attempt at the French.

I can see Djokovic winning this.

Novak Djokovic (14) –v- Albert Ramos-Vinolas (21)

Tomas Berdych (19) –v- Juan Martin del Potro (12)
Marton Fucsovics –v- Nicolas Kicker
Richard Gasquet (29) –v- Roger Federer (2)

You would expect all the higher seeds to come through those matches. The only higher ranked seed I see going out is Tsonga to Kyrgios.

@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy where do we stand with Kyrgios mate ?
