Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 Except Kei doesn't have a disease. Kei is a 5"9" man struggling to compete with a Tour where the average player is over 6ft tall. At least Chang, in his day competed with people under 6ft (Agassi, McEnroe) but Chang, especially toward the end of career, struggled physically to keep up with a Tour that was being increasingly filled with taller and taller player. Kei has rarely had that luxury. Much like Rubin, their bodies, while appearing fragile, are actually being gradually worn down from having to compete against much bigger, stronger players. I actually think Venus has competed a lot more often (ailments and all) than Kei on their respective Tours. Meanwhile, The 20-21 year olds are definitely having their say this weekend! Coric is playing really aggressive and I'm enjoying seeing it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 When did Borna become such a servebot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 Well, well, well Borna! This is quite a display of tennis! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 OMG. My heart is beating so fast. I can only imagine how Borna was feeling down 0-40. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 @Faulkner Coric brought the goods! Down 0-40 and still wins the game against Fed?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 He’s playing with such control and maturity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Ugh. Bad time for Coric’s serve to go off. When Federer smells blood, he pounces. Edited March 17, 2018 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Borna's game dropped. Roger looks like the 36 years old he is today. He isn't playing that great and only won the 2nd set due to Borna's errors. And this is why I hate Fed's fans. They are clapping after Borna misses his first serve....no other fans do that.....They were bad last year too.

Members Faulkner Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Yeah. With Roger’s game today, if he were playing an in-form Wawrinka or even Thiem, not even mentioning another Big Four member, they would have won in straight sets. Let’s hope Borna can regroup, but I suspect Fed will rout him like he did Chung. Wait, Coric already broke?

Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 Borna is a talented albeit inconsistent player. I also suspect that he may follow his other Croatian compatriots (Majoli, Ivanisevic, Cilic) and sneak a major when you least expect it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) So. Many. Errors. I think he could do it, but things would definitely have to line up for him. I will say I give Borna credit for staying with Roger in this third set so far. He hasn’t completely imploded. OK, Borna, you GOTTA hold serve.
