Wouldn't be the first time. Haase is a bit of an oddball.
Not entirely his fault...his coach was accused of murder. Haase apparently knew the victim

F1 is very contrived atm, I hate that it's become an exercise in tyre conservation. Also, so much downforce that overtaking is almost impossible without aids.
I don't mind the Lewis domination one bit though, much rather him than Seb.

Every little helps. Might have a bit more left for Paris.

Gutted he threw the Nishikori match away, he mentally folded early in the third.

Had he done that, we probably would've won the tie and Andy's WTF would again be compromised. For me, the DC has been ticked off now. Once is more than enough.
Harsh, but I went off her after idiotic handshakegate. Arguably she's already been brought down to earth though? Now it's gone too far - cruel to kick a girl when she's down.

BTW, her name is Dominika.

Pomenika, surely?

Thankfully that didn't happen. BMS was exposed by Fancy Bears.

For me, Domi is capable against counterpunchers/good defenders (Aga, Halep, Kerber). It depends on Domi avoiding big hitters/servers (Keys, Petra, KaPlis). She can't get into return games when they're serving well and gets pushed deep behind the baseline in rallies.
She'll have to hope that the big hitters are taken out by the counterpunchers, and she can then pounce on a tired cp.

No wonder British crowds love him.

Stan isn't exactly hoovering up titles and nobody would call him naff surely?”
Not on here, but elsewhere...basically, it comes down to him only turning up at slams and messing up Masters draws with his top 4 seed which he rarely makes good on. Nishikori fans tend to get really annoyed with him.
