Love that Fritz and Paul played against each other in singles are now teamed up playing doubles together haha
When I go full degenerate and bet ITF level matches and turn it on to watch, it blows my mind these local clubs dont have some kids that can be ball kids. Watching them dump a serve into the net, the player has to go get the ball
Holy shit, the defense to offense from Alcaraz. Defends both corners of the baseline and then smokes a forehand winner to break Matteo
He came out on fire too. Not sure if you saw the start but he absolutely dominated Berrettini. Could have bageled him but was playing for serve.
I need to go back and watch it. Alcaraz does some stuff that’s just not natural for a kid his age and size
I kind of give Berrettini some props. Saw the first, figured he would just rolled. Caught the second tie break to finish. Really the best Quarters I can remember in a men's event all year. All the match-ups should be good.
WOW Morgado tweeted Foe was up 6-4 4-1 on Diego in Barcelona and lost. Hes trying to outdue himself today
Frances broke Diego to go up 5-1 in the 2nd set, absolutely cruising to a win. Then gets broken to love serving for the match out of nowhere. Failed to convert a match point on return in the next game, then gets broken twice more in a row. Is completely out of it, tanking forehands in the net, no energy, smashed racket. Diego serves for the set at 6-5 up and Frances breaks back out of nowhere, now Diego tosses a racket. Go to the TB, returner wins the first 4 points of the TB. Diego gets a set point on his racket, doesn’t convert. Frances hits two huge serves and then breaks Diego to take the TB and the match.
Paris draw is out, they’re rigging these re: Murray right? If he beats a qualifier/LL, he’ll play…Felix round 2.
Im glad Shapo dropped out. Hes going to lose quite a few points and it drops it him to #20 but he needs a reset.
Andy Murray scheduled to face a qualifier tomorrow. Paris just placed the qualifiers in the draw, and Andy gets...Jenson Brooksby. Christ.
A lot of time in exhibition matches, it’s first to 4 games. 3-3 then goes to tiebreaker. Always best of 5.
