And 7-5 got him!

 

[FreoRicci]

And 7-5 got him!

Loss in a cracking tiebreak. Unfortunate.

 

[FreoRicci]

OConnell qualifies for Dubai, will play Ruusuvori first up. Good chance.

 

[Gigantic]

Good match going on in Acapulco atm - Ben Shelton takes the first set against Rune

Rune wins in 3. Ruud in a tight match so far. How good are these late night sessions in Acapulco?!

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Fritz now top 5 in the world.

 

[AdelaideGT]

OConnell qualifies for Dubai, will play Ruusuvori first up.

And takes the first set 7/5

 

[Drummond]

And takes the first set 7/5

And now breaks, again, for a 4-3 lead.

FAA takes 90 minutes to take the first against Cressy who served an incredible 12 double faults.

Khachanov moments away from losing.

Solid win by O’Connell. Nice patch of form he’s in

 

[FreoRicci]

Cressy nearly 1:1 double faults to aces.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Rusty start for Djokovic in the middle east.

 

[JackNah_8]

did Alcaraz pull out from Acapulco?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

did Alcaraz pull out from Acapulco?

Both he and Norrie did.

 

[X_box_X]

Both Berrettini boys won in Acapulco via way of retirement.

I wonder if this isn't the last we will hear of this?

 

[Drummond]

Rusty start for Djokovic in the middle east.

He was okay, some great hitting, some bad errors. As you said rusty, what you’d expect I guess given the layoff. His opponent though, they mentioned he hadn’t won a tour match since Indian Wells last year. Watching it, how?? He was on fire for long stretches, pounding winners, retrieving everything. Played out of his mind. Djokovic was awesome in the TB though, the AO champion rocked up for that.

Keen for Rublev vs ADF which starts in 15 minutes. Fritz vs Shapo tomorrow arvo should be a gem too.

 

[Drummond]

Davidovich Fokina up 3-0. I love the way he plays.

 

[Drummond]

Hahahahahaha ADF up 6-1 in the second set TB with 5 match points…loses tiebreak 8-6. I have no words. He destroys a racquet. Well, I think this one is over. How do you recover mentally from that?

Yikes. Two tiebreaks that could’ve gone either way.
The match points for ADF were horrid. He played so tight and defensive. UEs were yikes. Just had no power or base. Ugly ugly loss of match points

 

[FreoRicci]

OConnell pushing the top seed unlucky tonight. 7-5 6-4 to ZVerev isn’t too bad.

Kokkinakis just took the first set 7-6 v Coric

 

[AdelaideGT]

CoC & Kokk lost but both pushed their more favoured opponents. Keep it going you guys.

 

[Drummond]

Three rather uninspiring matches currently in Acapulco, waiting for Fritz/Shapovalov. Pity it has to clash with ADM. Then Rune and Berrettini matches starting at virtually the same time of course.

Djokovic was sublime overnight, think it was 29 winners, 6 unforced errors. So clean. There was a 15 minute game in the second set which Djokovic eventually broke for a 4-0 lead. Pretty ruthless performance except a slight lapse in concentration when up 5-0 with MP. Faces Hurkacz next, a good test.

FAA lost, really not sure what’s happening with him this year, looks rather ordinary and unimposing. Musetti lost, guy is heading nowhere fast. His attitude stinks, and that BH is ugly.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I'm waiting for a Djokovic vs Medvedev SF.

To be honest, don’t think FAA has what it takes to be a top 5 player. Too easily beaten and struggles against Medvedev, Rublev, Rune. Could be wrong though

 

[Gigantic]

Wow, Ruud falls to Taro Daniel.

Some pretty poor decision making from Ruud at crucial points.
