Thread for Cincy. Final tune-up for the US Open, hopefully it's more about the tennis this week, but Kokkanksis first round of qualies is not a good sign.

Kokkinakis* (sorry but you keep spelling it wrong)
Was hoping Kyrgios/Kokkinakis would draw Wawrinka in the early rounds, would've been interesting to see how many people that despise Kyrgios would watch the next match against Stan, only to complain more.
Big win for thanasi this morning to qualify for main draw. Was down 0-3 in the final set and came back and won it 6-4.
Kyrgios has drawn gasquet first up, very tough.

Thansai beat Fognini this morning, didn't think Kokk played that great but Fognini fell apart the first set. Still an amazing effort given everything. Faces the winner of Kyrgios/Gasquet next. Yes, you read that right.
Tomic beat Stakhovtsky pretty easily this morning and faces Dolgopolov this season.

Sam lost in a tight 3 setter to Babos. Very bad result. Back-to-back first rounders in big tournaments.
A Thanasi v Kyrgios match would be intense. Don't think Kokki has forgiven him yet.

Some laughs and generally enthusiastic applause for Nick at the start of this match.

Shame Nick hurt his back early. Was a good match early on.
Good to see Dasha beat Errani for the second time.

Her best is very, very good. Starting to get that consistency in her game too but does have down games a little too often. Particularly in matches that she really should win.
Really liking her season, at any rate. Hopefully she can do well at the US.

Good for a set. Nothing went right for Djoko in the second. So many double faults and unforced errors.Tell me about it. What a horrible game of tennis it was.....

It was actually more of a case of Federer playing lights out as opposed to Djokovic playing badly, if you had a clue about tennis (which you obviously dont looking at 99% of your posts).
Federer has shown he can still match it with Djokovic - on occasion. Like Wawrinka and Murray. But in terms of overall consistency over the course of a season, Djokovic is still so far ahead of the pack its not funny.

"if you had a clue about tennis".
Must have wasted my time watching tennis all these years then.
I know how Djokovic plays, I've followed him for the past 8 years. I've seen him take it right to Federer and Federer serve it right up to Djoko. The first set was a mixture of both players playing some great tennis. The second set, however, as I rightly pointed out, was far from Djokovic's best. Not sure if you were following the international feed or not, but the commentators made mention of a drop in level by Djokovic as well.
Go resort to childish comebacks elsewhere.
