Ugh. It really has become a disappointing season for Joao. He's barely consolidated, had really only one impressive run so far, and has been surpassed as the top young player on tour. Of course the possible silver lining is that maybe the last one will work for him. But we shall see. I hope he can come back strong in the post-USO tour. I wouldn't be surprised if he skips Asia.

That's the curious twist. He (or they, because as I understand he and his team take these decisions collectively) committed to the Asian tournaments a while ago. Oddly enough I think he is prioritizing the Asian your over the US Open.

Who's your Daddy? Why surprised? I Kei's game! He could hang with Rafa, actually def. him on clay IIRC! Too bad he was made of glass!

Now I know I'm too fk'n old! Watching Cruz Hewitt playing in Winston-Salem! Looks just like his MOM in the TV pic! His Dad was his age not too long ago when he was pumped as #1 by winning those early Aussie warm-ups for the AO as a kid! Like Vitas Gerulaitus, Lleyton was a solid player w/ no real weapons other than his quickness around the court! He was fortunate enuf to hit his stride at the end of the Golden Age w/ Sampras, Agassi, & others aging out! His winning Wimbledon B4 the Homogenizing of the courts proved he had little comp. outside Safin, Nalbandien, Ferrero, & Kafelnikov! Cruz was up a break ready to take the 2nd set, but blew it! Now in a battle to stay in it! "Good luck!"

We were talking about Fonseca in this particular thread.

I blew it, but it's still called a "segue!" Just got in my shot! I'm notorious for doing it; esp. referencing historical tennis events & players!

what the heck is Meddy doing down in WS? He just lost as the top seed to a nobody.

I saw it; so disappointed! IDK what to say as he just keeps falling, just not as hard as Tsitsipas! Sascha's leaving him behind in Gen.II family!

He may need a reup on his happy meds!

These guys are in their late 20s now, Meddy turned 30 this year. Fritz, Rublev, and Zverev are all 29 or turn 29 soon. Decline happens. Tsitsipas did fall-off early, and he's 2 1/2 years younger than Meddy, but he's now 28, so no longer a spring chicken, plus...he's Sissypuss.

Stefano moves his head during his strokes.. He stays in his feelings too long if he make an UFEs and he doesnt train like he is hungry..Its call SACFRICE and you have got to be a MAN not a sissy to understand it. That is his problem.
