Weird. RDS (French) has a great feed.

Anyway, his legs are cramping since the start of the 4th set.

Pretty sure he fell and injured himself during the match. That and cramps I guess.

He doesn't want to compete that's what's wrong with him. None of these freaking Millenials wanna compete. Halep said if she didn't make the final she wants to Serena to win. Why does that ever into your mind? No wonder McEnroe thinks he could beat these chumps.


What the fuck? They should penalize Rafa since the match should start now. Trying to rattle Borna. Fuck off.

Dolgopolov gives up too. Did Djokovic poison everyone in his half or something? Now I expect Nadal to give up against Coric too.

lol Fognini was 1 for 15 in his latest hardcourt matches, and he beats Steve Jonson in 4 sets. Steve Johnson sums up US mens tennis pretty well. Also, the only American man to win today was Mardy Fish, and he's retiring after the tournament lol.

Damn, Nadal is pouring sweat onto the court. Made me think of this:

He's wrecking Coric so far. I guess tennis isn't ready to be Borna-gain

Edit: Whoa, sorry, didn't realize that was so big, was on my phone lol

Nobody can beat Djokovic on his side. I'm absolutely positive he will make the finals. Surest thing I've ever seen in my life.

If he doesn't, that would be pretty embarrassing at this point.

Can't think of the last time he hasn't at least made the semis though. It's been awhile.

Well hopefully Coric can hold here at least. Gave it a good go in the last game.

Coric didn't do too badly. Nadal was too solid overall. The match was probably a little longer than he was expecting though.

Kyrgios - Murray sounds nice, until you realize Murray has beaten the Australian easily every time they have met. Murray is a terrible match up for Kyrgios, he probably won't win a set.

I was less referring to the competitiveness, and more referring to the Kyrgios drama and his potential antics.

I can see Krygios giving Murray a tough game. He's not really the type of player you want to play in a first round. Because you don't know what to expect from and on his day he is capable of beating anyone.

Coric was way too far of the baseline, he should've played from the beginning like he has in the third and forth sets, where he showed some nice attacking skills. Then again he won the third because Nadal pretty much gifted him a service game (2 double faults, one unforced error after one hit), which didn't reassured me concerning Rafa's current problems on important points. The perspective of a quarter against Djokovic is interesting (even if I think nobody here has any illusion on the result) but Nadal has tough guys in his part of the draw.

I would like to have a tight match there. If Raonic is at 50% victory rate against Andy I can't see a lot of reasons why Kyrgios couldn't improve his stats against him.

Yeah, no argument here, I kind of expected worse after the first set though (which, I guess the second set kind of was). He didn't give up at least is all I meant. I was mostly surprised by Nadal's net play, he seemed more confident up there then he has been as of late. I'm also unsure as to how that qf will be should it arrive, but hoping it's at least mildly competitive. Then again, we all know Fognini is going to knock out Nadal in the third round so maybe there's no point in thinking about it :p
