Miami Open, ATP Masters 1000, 2019

Coric is imitating Kyrgios.

 

[Murat B.]

Coric wins. That's of course bad news for FAA because against Kyrgios, you always have a chance.

 

[Andy22]

Good win for Coric just too soild for N.kyrgios today can not see Kyrgios doing much in the clay court season Coric could break the top ten soon.

They played in Shanghai and Basel last year.

I stand corrected. I did not remember those matches off hand and presumed they did not instead of actually checking the H2H.

Let me get this straight..RBA is the new Novak killer but Rafa is content being nothing more than Novak’s prison bitch..After watching this, Rafa should be compelled to consult with RB’s team to rearchitect his match strategy vs his “jailer”.

 

[Federberg]

Where’s Fiero?

 

[Murat B.]

It's like RBA's eyes light up when he sees Nole in his side of the draw? Probably not but he seems to have figured Nole out, to a point.

 

[Federberg]

I have to say.. for Novak to go up 5 love in the first set, have no injury and still lose? RBA has obviously got his number. Colour me impressed

 

[Fiero425]

Where’s Fiero?

I obviously gave too much credit to Nole easily holding onto #1 ranking! He's ok for now, but has a lot to defend @ the end of the yr.! :whistle:

 

[atttomole]

Where’s Fiero?

Good question. I was about to ask the same question. We like him here, especially if he can give us some insights on why Djokovic is losing to minnows. I noticed he has posted after the latest loss to RBA.

 

[Murat B.]

Is it all cancelled for tonight or what?

i saw some of djoko match..he seemed disinterested/not really there mentally..like his slump phase post fo2016,,

he is almost 32..is motivation waning ?..could be, prob already has his mind on clay and battles with nadal at fo.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

shapo vs the groovy greek is still on ?. poss major finalists for the next few years,

According to his fans Novak only is focused in the GS, come on! the problem is none can play well all the time because they can't keep their best level and I think RBA has played the second and third set enough well to beat him besides it has not been the first time. Like we say in Spain "sweet things never made anyone bitter" and Novak like everyone else likes to win MS too

I thought the same; a lot of winning begets patches like this for Nole these days! After completing his CGS/Nole-Slam in 2016, he was really done! The only reason he made that USO final was thru WD, injuries, and listless opposition along the way! Wawrinka was a wakeup call for the 3rd time over Novak in a Major QF/F! We can't keep assuming he's going to win everything in sight! It's not like he doesn't have multiple wins between IW/Miami over the years! :whistle: :cuckoo:

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Any updates from Bollywood Tabloids? :scratch:

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Now, with the exit of Nole, this is Fed's tourney to lose.

Now, with the exit of Nole, this is Fed's tourney to lose.

...and the defending champ a much easier path to the final possibly! :whistle:

I don't think defending champ will reach finals.
