Cerundolo did of course lose to Cam, just this week. Cam is better than Dan on clay though.

Thats a very tough draw for Dan . A good draw for Cam given some of the players he could have met and hes in good form at the moment .

Ok, for old times sake, I'm currently watching Ali Bedene - 5-0 up in the fourth set and leading 2 sets to 1

Allez, Ali !


ADD: and he won the fourth set 6-1 smile

You've got to feel sorry for Thiem, often the nearly man, then at 26/27 years old, wins his first slam, gets to the YEC final, entering his prime, surely exciting times ahead, but it's been awful ever since. He went 9-10 in 2021, 0-7 this year, and he's now lost his last 11 matches, many of them in straight sets.

 As per Delpo, wrist injuries are terrible and can ruin careers.

Yes, but at least he won a Slam.
I can't feel sorry for him like I do for Laura Robson or any of the very long list of players who never achieved anything really at all, given their potential.

Didn't realise that was the post that made me a 'Tennis legend' on here biggrin

Yeah, he's had an awful time with injuries, and even illness, and yeah, CD, at least he will always have that slam and will go down in history, still very unfortunate though, especially as he probably would have been about to enter the height of his marketing / endorsement potential.

Not great for his fans either, and if you do mainly support one particular player, or primarily look out for their results, then it can be pretty risky.

Cam and Dan both having a fight on their hands.
Cam is 7-5 *1-1
Dan is 7-6(3)

at least both are up - a win for Dan would be good, Cerundolo is a decent player and it was always going to be a tough battle - Jeff at TA rates Dan a 45% chance of winning overall, so a win would be a good showing

Well they are both two sets up now, so I'd go for a full bottle

 Kubler beat Kudla in round one, no slouch but not in Cam's league and this has to be one Cam will expect to win. Solid win today; he really has got a decent draw, at least first two rounds
