That Khachanov was very good!

You watched it? I have to admit it was a surprise result to me.

Nice matches tomorrow.

That Khachanov was very good!

He really was. I was shocked. The way he went about his business and held his nerve was amazing. Totally unbothered by the situation.

A good bit of it. I kept waiting for RBA to turn it around, or for the kid to fold, and it kept not happening. He messed up my draw, but he's a good player.

Zverev in an unforseen duel with Bellucci... should have won this in two, now embroiled in a third set battle.

Amazing Kachanov, maybe he's the new Russia pearl ??? Youzhny lost his duel with the Fog by the way, we'll probably have a Fog/Manacor's bull match in Barça

 

[britbox]

Zverev breaks Bellucci to win the third set decider 7-5. Sascha advances and this match will have done him the world of good.

James Blake told me that today is Zverev's 19th birthday.
