She has a bad temper though lol...
I only watched the second set. Halep wasn't even bad, but Lucic played flawlessly.
Halep hit 5 winners lol
It's Halep, her inconsistencies is well known.
That's why I wondered, how could a lot experts pick her to win? lol

Vamos schwartzman.
Pronostics are always incredibly difficult to do accurately in sports. There are so many illogical things that happen, you can be a great analyst in a given sport a give completely false predictions without being incompetent. Halep is 3rd in the World, 2nd at the Race, went pretty far in big tournaments this year including Rome... And she was finalist last year. Enough to make her a favourite IMO. Didn't work this time.
But her clay season is underwhelming. How come the experts pick her up over MaSha?
clearly they like jalepenos more than sugarpova candy

The fact that the women's side is Bo3 rather than Bo5 encourages more upsets too, so I think it's harder to predict.
Nope, still going on, 3rd set is 1-1 now.
Still going. 1-1

It's definitely tougher for short guys to make a living playing tennis, but there are a few guys who figured it out. Schwartzman being one of them. Olivier Rochus was a top 100 journeyman for years and he was only 5'6". I think he recently retired.

All those points he had to defend. His ranking is about to taaaaaaaaaaank
lol I jinxed Halep. Oops.
He plays really well for someone this small.
He is going to be #86 after his points drop. Ouch.

Holy shit lol. That's a huge drop.
What is up with ESPN's online coverage of the tournament? Freaking sucks. Is there another network showing the matches online too?
For some reason they are streaming the noon sessions, but only 1 match after that. I guess Tennis Channel has the rights to the rest of the matches..

Tennis Channel is streaming it too. You have to log in with a provider, but if you have espn3 access you should have this as well.

I'm impressed by Schwartzman. First time watching him - got a great attitude and consistent depth on his groundstrokes, and has shown good technique to handle Monfils' power, especially at net. I know it's odd to say 22 is young... but with how few breakthrough players under 20 there's been on the men's tour in the last decade it kind of is. If only he was 5-6 inches taller.

How prescient was that?
Monfils didn't exactly impress anyone with his 5 set win over the #62 player in the world. I don't see Monfils going much further in the tournament now

Did you actually watch that match? IMO it was the highest quality of the tournament so far, Schwartzman was playing out of his mind and Gael was also really good. I mean, given it's Gael that doesn't necessarily mean anything, but he looks in better form than a lot of other players to me.
Thanks!
