I'm shocked Tiafoe won a tournament. His game IMO is still too flashy with no real control. That said if Ryan Harrison won last year then anything can happen....LOL...Tiafoe is now #61 in the world one spot behind Harrison.

Harrison won Memphis. Jack Sock won Delray when Raonic pulled out with an injury, but I get your point given the topsy-turvy ATP of the moment. Still, I think Tiafoe is improving quickly so there’s a lot he can still achieve. A player like him is good for American tennis, as the Williams sisters can’t hold it down forever.

Interesting.

 

 

 

 

 

@ChitHappens You were right!  I don't see him winning though....

lol. So funny!  I knew it!

 

SS, who's going to stop Fed?  Delpo is Fed's kryptonite sometimes!  He does not have the consistency needed like Djoker, Rafa and Andy once had.

On clay I still like Thiem over him and other dirt ballers. Btw.....women's draw is out in BNP Paribas Open and Serena could meet Venus in the 3rd round.

Qualifying matches begin tomorrow and TC will have coverage...there are some interesting matches....

How interesting that Flavia wants their son to play tennis but Fabio does not.

I'm beginning to think the draws are rigged to favor Roger. He has no competition until the QFs where he could meet Thiem.

 

Novak has a tough road and could play Del Po in the fourth round. But he could meet Kei in the third round.

Frances Tiafoe is currently getting his butt kicked by Ernesto Escobedo.

 

AND... this never gets old... but it’s appropriate for today:

Watching the match and others......not surprised Tiafoe lost. TC continues to pimp these American males when they haven't accomplished squat. Jim Courier has gotten so bad. He kept pimping Ryan Harrison last night. How great his year was going and how great he was...ugh....even when losing last night he blamed his loss on the slow courts....lawd...stop it Tennis Channel. Even today Jim was pimping Ryan Harrison even though he lost in the first round.

 

I didn't even bother watching Konta. I hate her game.

I hate Konta’s game, hate her ‘tude, hate her everything.

Eugenie Bouchard Has One Victory and Many Setbacks Off the Court

I read that yesterday.  I guess that settlement was right on time, huh?  Being dropped left, right and sideways  has to sting.  She's got the goods, but not enough stability BTS.

Truly deserved IMO. She comes off very heartless and superficial. Her game isn't that great as most wish it was. I LOL last year when she was playing the challenger tour with these no name female players.....some were bottom of the barrel players.

 

But for real...when are we gonna talk about Bartoli 

 

I'm not size shaming and I'm super happy she's no longer starving herself, but on what tour is she going to play with that kind of weight?!  I'm speaking strictly from an athletic POV!
