Shame really he had good potential, he never really trained, he did things on his own terms and could have had a decent career if he had wanted to
Nah.. he is who he wanted to be. There will not be a lot of footage of him training very hard. if you find it, take it and seal it into a vault like a Major League Baseball player rookie card.

That is what I said in round about terms, 'he did things on his own terms, he is who he wanted to be, that was his choice....I dont think there will be any video's of Nick and training somehow :)

Yay Fritz gets his revenge over Shelton in 3 tight sets in their QF match, and he has the game to defeat one of my least like players on the tour :) who is already whinging that he is tired :)
BTW,
Shelton will be the 4th seed at Wimbledon, after de Minaur lost today in his match at Queens

It's a shame someone had to lose this last QF; FAA vs Tiafoe! It went into another extended 3rd set TB! FAA blew it w/ multiple chances to close it out! The FH let him down in the crunch when just trying to stay in it! Tiafoe deserved it saving several MP's! If Med had overcome WC Altmaier, it might have been an even more huge event w/ most of the artificially high ranked players making it thru the early rounds! :astonished-face::yawningface::fearful-face::face-with-hand-over-mouth:

Frances Tiafoe played a strategic match against FAA targeting his bhand well done Frances what a TB!
Tiafoe d FAA 36 63 76(12) 3 MPs erased!
BTW the first time in his career that Frances defeats 2 Top Ten players in the same tournament
Cobolli (10) in round 1
FAA (4) in the QFs

Zverev's fhand is weakest shot, has let him down in this match against Fritz

Thank you Fritz for saving Tennis! for the 7th consecutive meeting , extending your H2H over Zverev 10-5 defeating him 67(4) 64 75!
Moving to the final tomorrow where you will play either Tiafoe or Altmaier

My tennis Canadian tennis friend texted me after the match,
" I just love that Taylor Fritz can always be relied upon to ruin Alexander Zverev's life" :) like me she is not a fan!

Sascha is offering to send signed autographed photos if you can get him 1000 new followers on his Instagrams accounts..are you game @MargaretMcAleer
Why would I want a autograph of Zverev when he has a match record against Top Ten players of 0-6% in 2026 for starters,.to think he has a GS title without facing a Top Ten player is a joke :)
Zverev has now lost 17 of his last 20 matches against Top Ten players!
