There were reports that RG is using heavier balls ..that would accentuate the advantage power hitters have..Med allluded to it as a factor in his defeat

Which is why I thought we might see Coric in the semis..Medvedev was always a fragile high seed ..

I am flying blind here because I can't watch, but I think everyone is underestimating Seyboth Wild's form. I like him to go far now.

This was just posted on Reddit's r/tennis. Has anyone else seen this? I'm not watching the match.
Unfortunately didn’t snap a photo when they showed it during the changeover after the first set of his match with Fucsovics. Looked like a round, black, dime-sized disc (maybe metal or ceramic?) right on the middle of his chest taped in place with a big piece of clear tape. Neither announcer knew what it was. Any ideas?

My fave quip so far is that it's a magnet meant to (extract money from rich idiots) to help reduce pain. Either that or a lucky penny. :lol:

Time to let Elina be the tennis player of the family. He is getting injured too frequently. And if his last match at RG was yesterday's, it was a match worth remembering.
