Talk About Tennis 2.0

Day 3 Pick Commentary:

May be too early (might survive round 3): Shelton, Nakashima,

Probably a really good pick: Popyrin, Lehecka, Humbert, Shang

Tough opponent: Cerundolo

Tiafoe: For some reason, I just don't have a lot of confidence in Francis. You could be right, but I just don't know.

Lehecka pick (yes, I was one of them) not looking too good right now. It's not over, but he's down 2 sets and a break.

In that heat, that is over.
See you at the Lounge.

LOL. YE of little faith!

DOWN 2 sets, down 0-3 in the third, almost 0-4.....Mitchell Krueger, thank GOODNESS, remembers that he is, indeed, still Mitchell Krueger....AND Lehecka wins this damned thing, 7-5 in the fifth.

ALSO.....

Ok, we dodged that bullet. Probably used all of our luck today.

LOL, HUSH!!!!!!!!!!!

I have said so many times about other matches....one of the insanities of this contest is, I otherwise would have been rooting Krueger on. And, of course I feel terrible for the guy. This would have been such a great and much needed result for him.

Nevertheless, we ARE talking about the possibility of a new shiny imaginary trophy. SO, tough luck, bub.

Major bandwagon crash.
I don't understand this Comesaña kid. 3R at W, 3R at the USO. Yet he remains virtually unknown.

Not if you have a dirty mind and some Spanish.

Will no one ever remember the cardinal rule of SP? NO FRENCHIES!!

Day 4 Pick Commentary

Probably a good pick (players who should win this round, but lose in round 3): Draper, Mesnik, Fils, Cobolli

Might be a little early, but there should be enough other players that will win Round 3, but lose Round 4, that you should be OK: Korda, Paul, De Minaur

I don't know enough about Belluci to comment.

Goffin: I hope you are right, but he hasn't gotten back to the level he had before he hurt his foot. I expect this to be a very tough match.

Post 1 is showing that I picked Draper today; I had picked Mensik
