Andy emphatic today a very easy win, I think Querrey is done however, his ranking is way down now can see him retiring soon given injuries and lack of form.

Looking at points dropping off and those not playing Andy will go up in the rankings without doing too much. Im predicting he will end up seeded for the US Open.

Yes, Andy looks well capable of being seeded for the US Open.

I did though think the 36 aces in 4 sets Isner thumped past him at Wimbledon was concerning. Now of course Isner is generally an ace machine but Andy has in the past restricted these by at least getting a racket on them or indeed returning with interest, basically dismantling Isner. I believe he at least once outaced Isner. So that seemed to me to ask real questions about possibly diminishing reactions.

Interesting that Querrey ( big server though not in Isner's league ) just served 2 aces against Andy's 5 in their short match. I didn't see the match so Querrey may have just been totally off song.

Purcell looks a good draw in R2 and if he wins that then Bublik or Sock not too bad.

Andy had that injury pre Wimbledon though so possibly not at full fitness when he played and his movement would've been affected

Kyrgios served 30 aces in Wimbledon final last week. It happens on grass and I thought he and Isner in match mentioned served at similar level.

There is no issue having 50 aces served past you - you need to hold your own serve and break once or twice and win a tie break or two.

Agassi was possibly the best returned of all time, IMO, Ivanisevic served 50 aces past him one final, he happily let him serve them past him and now and again Goran would miss one or two first serves, Agassi would connect a return or two he won in 5. I think it was 1992 final.

Best returning performance ever in that final and he still had 50 plus aces past him

goldfish · Futures qualifying

Querrey was exceptionally poor last night and did not cope with the very swirling windy conditions at all. Despite his serve he managed to win only 1 service game, hit 5 DFs, over hit frequently, got frustrated but tried to control it and probably couldnt get off court quick enough. I would say that his performance was pretty embarrassing. Andy, however, coped with the conditions without a problem.

Losing the opening set to a doubles specialist ranked 200 or so wasn't in the script

Some terrible line calling going on.

I posted a very brief snippet captured by the Beeb on page 29 of the Wimbledon main draw thread which had him throwing in the towel after he lost to Jack Sock.
