Sinner can count his lucky stars he won that match
Young Man go and practice your serve for starters

Excited for that match. Sinner better clean up his act. (Well, not in the Kyrgios way.) Speaking of, I heard Nick interviewed after his win over the Fog (fun match) and he said that coming clean about his issues has been a relief to him, and has freed him up to just play. This is a good thing.

I watched towards the end of the match and Sinner, for some odd reason, can't quite seem hit the big serves. He would occasionally hit good 125 mph t-serves, but he was content hitting those 115 to 117 mph first serves. Then, in the 2nd serves, he was hitting under 90 mph and sometimes 77 mph. I do not think he has the yips on the serve, but as tall as he is, I do not know if he can't technically hit bigger serves or he is conservative on hitting bigger serves.

Also, those drop shots, please save those when you are ahead of the match and not during those tight, pivotal moments.

With that being said, I am impressed and proud on how mentally strong Sinner in these past three matches (including his last match at IW). Clearly, he is not playing his best tennis (I have feeling he is still feeling the effects of his illness he got after AO).

Well done Thanasi Kokkinankis winning in 3 sets over Kudla 76(5) 46 76(4)

I can't believe Kokkinakis won another one! I sorta recognized him this time; the earring in particular! I gave up mines at 60 and gave to my nephew who has them lost amongst the others hanging off ears, nose, and probably nipples by now! The top men seem to be holding up a lot better than the ladies!

I’ll be more impressed if he wins his next few matches.

Well in the 1st set Sinner's 1st serve was at 41% that is just unacceptable I am afraid at this level.Sinner can do better then that on his first serve,2nd set his UFE count again was not a reasonable level.To me he can still improve his first serve.I agree he fought hard in the end of his match.He will have to improve out of sight,if he is to defeat Nick K,who at present is playing solid tennis

Come on, RBA...send out that rat Brooksby.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on, RBA...send out that rat Brooksby.

Amen....Brooksby in my opinion should not be playing.,he should have been defaulted,not just fined

 

[Fiero425]

Amen....Brooksby in my opinion should not be playing. He should have been defaulted, not just fined.

You all are feeling that way because of his behavior! I'm just not a fan of his play w/ all that intensity & passion wasted due to a lack of skill!

Well for starters he should have been defaulted, he does lack skill,I also think Zverev should have been suspended,his type of play puts me to sleep,quite frankly I feel he is 'over rated'.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh Dear,

Brooksby comes back from 0-4 down in the final set to defeat Bautista Aqut 63 57 64....good news is he gets to play Medvedev next

 

[Jelenafan]

LOL, well I'm glad he won. His gritty and intense play shows his mental strength.
Besides Fiero, you should cheer for him as he's a "Sacratomatoe " boy.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good first set from Alcaraz 64 over Cilic....why do they schedule this match,along side Iga and Gauff's WTA match at the same time.Hmm.

You remembered even though I moved away 20 years ago! It seems the city keeps coming up in the news from rioting in the streets to a serial killer being caught! I loved it there even though something was always going on! Back in the 90's, it was the "Good Guys" hostage event and every Tuesday for a few months, some guy was shooting up fast food restaurants! On "Forensic Files," Sac. seems to be the center of crazy $#!t like the BTK or Zodiac serial killers from way back! The mayor for a while was an ex-basketball player! I lived rather comfortably out in the suburbs of Rancho Cordova/Gold River!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Carlos marches on 64 64 over Cilic
Now I need Tommy Paul to win over Fritz so he can play his buddy Zverev

 

[Kieran]

He's a grower, young Carlos, isn't he? A straight sets win over old Cough Drop

I'd be afraid to play tennis in your neck of the woods, brother!

Yep,he is on my younger fav list,especially when that older Spainish guy retires,I feel Carlos is more offensive minded at his age than Rafa was,just my thoughts
