Next time Johnson should keep his opinions to himself. Loved Delpo's reaction when he was told he was facing Ferrer or Fognini.
Only when people mention it. I prefer to forget that ever happened tbh.

Heh, Dasha is such a livewire.
Even though he didn't really think it through I'm glad Johnson spoke his mind actually, it added spice to the match. The crowd got the chance to show whose side they were on and they emphatically chose Delpo. Delpo must've felt amazing drinking in that atmosphere.

The big four have very complete games though, so even in their declined state it's hard to grab three sets off 'em. Djok and Muzza in particular have set amazing standards in terms of court coverage/movement, return of serve and defence.

Would be amazed if Cilic had fans outside of Hrvatska.

I take it back. Takes the second set from Vinci 7-5.”
Witthoeft is another Teutonic sexpot. It'd be nice if she won a few more matches here and there so we could see more of her.

Ohh, Naomi Osaka. For a minute I thought you were referring to Naomi Stockport.
Bernard Tomic likes this.

A number of Eurosport streams have got stuck in a loop. So annoying when it happens mid game...by the time it sorts itself out, the game is finished and they've gone to a break at the changeover

I seem to remember reading that Bencic is one of the most aced players on the WTA. Doesn't seem to read the server at all and leaves both corners of the service box open. She'll have her work cut out breaking strong servers until she improves on this key area. To compound it, her 2nd serve lacks variety and is too attackable.

Cilic probably wasn't motivated after Cincy.

I think Fed is very close to it. Mind you, he has numerous endorsements/sponsorships. Too many to list (Rolex, Lindt, Moet and Chandon etc)

It's like they're stuck in a time warp at times. I can virtually rattle off the playlists by heart now. Always a Joan Jett, Michael Jackson, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith and Beastie Boys. They've thrown in Phil Collins a few times too this week so maybe he was nice to the DJ when he opened the tournament.”
I more than appreciate the time warp. 80s music still stands the test of time for me. It's infinitely preferable to them playing that Happy nonsense by Pharrell, to name just one. That song proper makes me miserable.

Lucass is really taking the scenic route, eh? It'll catch up with him soon.

He gets so pumped even on the minor points. Not that classy, but tennis is war. Not a garden party.

Kyle probably did it on purpose. He knew Isner would be stewing over those BPs and wouldn't be focused for the next game. Smart lad, this Kyle.
Also appreciated Kyle reading the Isner service patterns and going for placement over power on BH returns, forcing John to hit volleys off his shoelaces. Muzza would be proud.
Leon Smith is going to have a selection headache for the Davis Cup, isn't he? Can't see how Dan or Kyle can be left out now.
