I must say these courts are slow and low bouncing hard for players to hit through the court

Fritz was definitely ready for Carlos today, who is not looking sharp.

@Moxie
Well he can't carry them all the time. Last year he won like 8 points. That's more than half of what's required. Maybe he went out w/ Zed last night to Oakland. One thing is for sure, AA is coaching circles around Noah.

I have never seen Fritz playing like this, he must have had an extra weetbix for breakfast, though Carlos is also helping him out lol!

yes girl, you must be watching the replay. He had 2 bp's in the first game and he let Tay off the hook. After that, he was under assault on his own serve. Funny thing is, Fritz wins a match like this that means nothing. He will go back to the tour and return to his same shaky play when he faces the big boys.

There's something to be said for coaching. I've been saying for awhile AA is a great strategist. He's like Cahill. He can give a player the game plan. The player has to believe in it and execute it

Agree AA is a great strategist, in saying that he needed a player to be able to play his game plan and credit to Fritz he did that.
Fritz also played great at the net.

yep. Noah seems green to me as a coach. Actually surprised they got him to do LC. Why not ask Edberg or Boris?

If the Ru's can't secure the doubs tonight, it's over for the Euro's. They would have to run the table tomorrow winning all 4 matches and it's Agassi's turn to pick the matches for tomorrow.

If I hear Noah say to his players one more time " play one shot at a time" I will throw something at my tv set at him, agree he is also green to me as a coach
