hmmmm... seeing as Fritz has already been to a slam final, it's a bit unfair to crown Shelton as the best since Roddick no?
I said best bet - meaning, to win a Slam. I just think that Shelton has more upside than Fritz - that he hasn't unlocked his full potential yet. There's no guaranteeing that he will and, to be honest, I think his chances of winning a Slam eventually aren't great. But I'd say he's got a better chance than Fritz, if only because of their respective ages.

Ben's so much better than his dad from what I recall! Bryan was "a serve" & lit'l else; m/b slash some good left-handed FH's! It's been a while! :facepalm:

Whenever I see Blockx name in print I always have to take a second glance. I must have a bit of dyslexia under the hood. It always computes as "Bollocks" on the first pass.

Taylor Fritz blows 2-set lead, falls to Francisco Cerundolo in US Open​



No. 9 seed Taylor Fritz blew a two-set lead at the US Open and went out in a shocker with a 3-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 loss at the hands of No. 24 Francisco Cerundolo on Saturday.

"I don't know how I let that happen today," Fritz said.

Fritz stormed through his first two rounds, losing a total of 11 games, and there was no hint of trouble when he broke Cerundolo to open the third set. But Cerundolo broke right back and started to feel more comfortable in his first time playing in Arthur Ashe Stadium.

  • "I think fourth and fifth I played a really good tennis that I wasn't finding that tennis in the previous sets and the previous rounds," the Argentine said.​

Didn’t his brother beat Sinner at the French Open this year after spotting him a 2 sets to love lead? Ditto here for the other Bro.

Don’t count them out at your own peril! it ain’t over until a Cerundolo sings ! ; )
