I agree Rafa will pull this out, but Fritz is a way better player than Kyrgios
Even during this tournament, you think Fritz is playing better thank Kyrgios?
Today is the first day he’s lost a set

If I remember correctly, at some point in his career Kyrgios had even or positive head-to-head against each of big 3. His high is quite a bit higher than that of Fritz. His low on the other hand....

That's the thing. His low is certainly subterranean, but he has not displayed it here. So: is he due? Or has he learned to control that for two weeks?

Agree 5 years ago, Kyrgios was a better player than Fritz but not in 2022

Not gonna be able to watch the rest of these matches unless they go for several more hours which could be possible as I am about to hit the courts myself for practice and hopefully take a little of what Simona had today with me. ;)
Love that she is inspiring you. She inspired me after she gave a monstrous effort at the Australian in 2018, even though she lost the final (played so hard she ended up in the hospital with dehydration). A few days after the final, I was struggling with something at work and literally thought, "If Simona can play her guts out for several matches, I can push harder on this" and it helped, Have a great practice!
I watch Simona play and because she is small in stature like me and plays a similar style as me I try to follow what she does a lot. She also is one of those players that just gives 120% all the time and I try and do that all the time. Coco is my inspiration because she is around my age and she has accomplished so much, but Simona is really the player that I'd love to be like.

If Fritz is as good as you say he ought to beat an injured Nadal today.

I am just catching the tail end of this Nadal & Fritz match and I see Nadal is injured. Nadal is a different type of species. I don't know what it is he does to play through the pain he is in, but he does it.

And the H2H was like 1-0 or 2-1 in some cases. Not big. Rafa is 6-3 vs Nick and has won the last 3 meetings.

Yes, but I think the argument here is that Nick is a more dangerous opponent than Fritz not that he's better than Nadal. The latter is obviously not true.

Captain Obvious says that this has become a very good match (with the added drama as a plus).

Maybe, but I only said he’s better than Nick Kyrgios, not a future #1 or anything. FWIW, I don’t think Kyrgios will beat an injured Nadal, either

But.... Will it be Nadal that Nick plays?


Fritz is falling apart.

I keep catching myself rooting for Taylor. Just because Rafa can handle an injury, and he can handle Nick's crap, but I'm not sure he can handle both at the same time.

Plus, I can imagine Taylor throwing a pretty juicy punch down Nick's throat if push comes to shove. And I have no idea why I think that.

Now let's see what his doctor can do. If he can mend bones, a torn muscle must be solely a special band-aid and a kiss on that booboo.
