No, he was definitely shaking out his arm, and was having some troubles after the 1st set. He was shaking it out a bit in his first match, too. Unless he's just promoting his new product. "Hey! You, too, can have tennis elbow and still win matches with my Indrediwear Sleeve™." We do know he's a great actor. He told Prakash that he's looking forward to the doubles, so sounds like he's play.

We know he is a drama king and fox lol
I watched the 3rd set he was lucky to win his arm must be fine if he still wants to play doubles later ot be

In fairness, Rinderknech deserved that first set, though Carlos almost snuck it out. The Frenchmen is really taking it to him. He's going for the net and playing well there.

I did not know Titovic was a thing. Congrats on the win I guess.

Are you referring to Tito the lost Jackson?

They beat a very experienced seasoned doubles team in Pavic and Arevalo, one of my fav doubles team I love to watch

Jack does look a bit heavier. I was just thinking maybe he put on a few extra pounds when he couldn't train due to the injury.

 

[kskate2]

I say Chuck needs these kinds of matches now and then. Should keep him sharp when he has to face the big guns later.

I was right there was nothing wrong with Novaks arm, he and Stef easily beat the No 3 seeds in Pavic/ Arevalo 63 62 the defending IW Doubles champions
He is just promoting his new sleeve which he has launched Novak x Incrediwear
I take no notice of his arm shaking at all lol! I dont get 'sucked in' to his dramatics on court.
Lets see how he goes against Draper

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good to see Medvedev playing well at IW, at one stage I didnt think he would make it being stranded in Dubai, he handed Baez a bagel in the 2nd set
Medvedev (11) d Baez 64 60

Well, both of them do play doubles regularly so not a complete shocker, but still an upset.
