There we go. Deserved. Novak dominated the tournament.

Fed only made it to the third cause of some miracle DF chokes from Djokovic, not by any great play, he was barely hanging on, def well deserved by Djokovic for the match.
Meh, it should have been over in two sets anyway.
John Dunbar

might have been an interesting end if federer hadn't given up that 40-15 lead at 2-3, but a pretty good final overall. djokovic was obviously the better player, so it was a deserved win.

CiCi Bellis got a Wild card in Miami

Tough draw for Delpo, Popisil first round then Grigor.
Interested to see CiCi, hopefully she's made some improvements and isn't another Oudin....

He had the whole crowd against him entirely. It's a miracle he recovered back to his form in the third set, I really wonder what he has to do to be considered one of the best by tennis fans

CiCi won her first round match. She played a woman who surprisingly was ranked lower than she was. Good fortune with the draw for her I guess.

Yeah, I was watching live score like a hawk. Especially since the match before, Alexandr Zverev beat De Bakker to qualify.

Zverev grows an inch every time I look at his profile. He's a 6'6" 17 year old currently. Could be an Isner clone if he doesn't stop growing soon. There was another German who began his career playing tennis, until he grew too tall. His name was Dirk Nowiztki
Zverev's movement is already (or still?) better than Isner's.

No one knows how well Isner moved when he was 6'6" though. That was before his college days

remind me of what happened last time they played

Alexandr Zverev plays Groth in the main draw. He can beat him, then Rosol who save for last week, is in a huge slump.
Why isn't Mardy playing here? Was IS his swan song?

They just played at IW last week and Serena struggled big time with Niculescu's weird forehand slices.

Looks like there's a 14 year old boy in Canada who's going to bust on the scene in a few years. He already qualified for a challenger event by beating a couple of players in the ATP 1000

For a country with a population smaller than the state of California, Canada's tennis program is damn respectable these days.

Mica Puig is feisty. Goddam. But you can't implored mentally against weak competition like Falconi....

Puerto Ricans are the 2nd feistiest people on the planet. Only bested by Italians. She should date Fognini

Buca de Bepa Zvonereva couldn't pull out the victory, neither could Puig.
Lauren Davis up next

Yeah. Hopefully Lauren doesn't disappoint me. Monica just imploded. Irina did absolutely nothing with the ball, save for a few volleys and lobs. Monica has some decent action on her second serve.
Lauren.
she's taken a step back this year...... I like this Korean brah Hyoen Chung.

I think Lauren Davis has already peaked. There's only so much a 5'2" player can do, and she's not really improving anymore.
Wickmayer got rekd by Sloane. Thats not a good look for her

Height isn't an issue, she's been short her whole life. The problem is USTA only knows how to coach one type of player.
I booked mine on mine on Tuesday. Went for Thursday the 19th, second to last round robin day. Same day as I went last year and it worked out really well in terms of matches.
I'm from up North so I have to travel down and stay over. Works out nicely having the last couple of days in the week off, travelling down early Thursday morning and then back on the Friday before the weekend.

It's almost been 6 years since we've seen him smack Fedal at the US. How time flies. We're never gonna see that Del Potro anymore, are we
Cruel, cruel sport.

Nope, he'll never get back to that. He was playing well the other year though. Just couldn't quite get over the hump.

Do I ever miss his all-out, flat, annihilating, go for broke forehand in the middle of a rally.
John Dunbar

hopefully del potro at least gets past pospisil. dimitrov has been disappointing since his wimby run, but he should at least make del potro play some proper tennis to see where he's at. this canadian is a runt.
edit: yeah, del potro is still hitting one-handed backhands. he's done.

Coric and Zverev both win their first round. The New era is rising

del potro looking like he has picked up another injury. starting to be quite a collection.

Who didn't see that coming? This will be his cycle. Rehab for 3-6 months, play a match, back to rehab for 3-6 months, play a match, back to rehab and so on until he retires
