Yep, good day ahead
Usually are unfortunately.
Bit of a heart breaker for Cuevas there. Well, I hope Roger can win next.
Because... ?

No, no, no, no the man deserves another RG Slam, so Monfils should just not go in beast mode on sunday.
Why does he deserve another ain't he got enough lol.

Monfils deserves his FIRST slam. Most tennis players these days focus purely on their game, and taking advantage of opportunities to win a match as quickly as possible. Monfils only wins points when he feels it could pump up the crowd. When he's up 2 sets to love and the crowd wants more tennis, humble Monfils tanks the next two sets to give the crowd what they want. A true crowd pleaser!

It'd be cool to see Monfils win just to see the French go insane. Yannick was the last to win the French open right?

Monfils never gets fatigued. Only thing that sometimes stops him is his leg cramps. Other than that, Monfils could run a marathon every day

I'm sure Monfils just throws sets because he prefers 5-setters, he plays so many of them.

Him and Lleyton Hewitt
Because it's Federerright?
Not me, I like Nadal but everyone doesn't seem to like him on here lol.

Fed has his fair share of haters, but he is the most well liked and popular tennis player on the planet for a reason.

Really likable guy, but I did root against him when he was in his prime winning literally everything, I just don't like it when there's no suspense in a game and it's boring as fuck to root for somebody that just wins everything.

I'm out of the hospital. I only spent 50 hours there but it felt like forever. Now several weeks of recovery.
Anyway, managed to catch Cuevas-Monfils from the middle of the second set (when Cuevas played a horrible game to get broken and Monfils immediately clowned his lead away). Cuevas' defense is pretty bad and his success seems to be built around very disciplined aggression, so it was extremely disappointing to see his game going completely AWOL after Gael slightly elevated his level in that 4th set. Until that point, it looked like the less talented player was winning thanks to executing what he can as well as he can, but he started missing routine shots.
Going by what I saw in this match, I'd put Roger as the firm favorite in the next round, but we shall see.

I could understand then. But now such a sympathic guy, it's really unseen what he still does on 33, such a professional, still such quality, but a lot of times with a little bit more luck he would have won even more Slams. That's why I root for hem and really hope he reaches 20 grand slams in his carreer.

Ugh, I didn't think this match started until 11:00. Thankfully haven't missed too much.

Kyrgios has flashes of brilliance but his game just isn't quite there yet.
Those errors...

It's interesting how Murray isn't even trying to rally with Kyrgios, he respects the forehand too much already. Instead, he's doing everything he can to exploit Kyrgios' movement. Genuinely, Kyrgios is so near to the top right now.

Classic 'tweener lob, inspired. Some beautiful shot-making by Kyrgios.

Because he had really weak competition, therefore won lots of matches early in his career, and people love to bandwagon?

I'm kind of getting my DelPo fix with how sweet and insanely hard Kyrgios is hitting his forehand. Murray really is having dig deep into his box of tricks to keep him at bay. Good match, so far.

Someone's crabby.
He had weaker competiton than the other big 3 wouldn't you say so?
Kyrigos can win this match the way he is playing despite losing the first set.
Yeah, no. He dominated when he was 23-28yo. which is when you expect a tennis player to be at his best. That his level dropped after that period and his no longer the best player but the second or third bestis to be expected, in fact being #2 over 10 years after hitting his prime should only reassert that in his prime he was really special.
I hate that Murray-Kyrgios is a R32 match. Really like both players and would prefer to see both getting deeper into the draw.
