He barely beat a horrific version of Federer in his worst year on tour since 2001.
Federer's not the only person he had to beat to win Cincy in 2013. And he did, anyway, so suck it. Indoor HC is his worst surface, not 'slick grass', (which I don't think is an official surface ;),) and you know it. Outdoors, he has the highest win pct on tour, or has had most of his career.

Upset alert: Murray is a break down in the third set against Lucas.

Ok, technically not an upset.

Pouille may not be the easiest of draws in the first round but if Andy wants to get anywhere near match fit, he needs to be winning these matches.
Fed better be ready too and hit the ground running.

He has lost 8 times in the first round out of 16 tournaments he entered this year.
Sure did but he is a better player than that. Slumps happen. Players like that also look at matches like this (against big 4) as an opportunity to get their stuff together.

Shapo basically stole this one from Tiafoe. 13 double faults.

Both players were garbage. I watched that mess here, should've gone to see the beauties (Kiki-Georges).

Yeah he beat Sir Grigor, Isner, the corpse of Fed, and a couple nobodies. Big deal :)

That's clay you clown. Little different than HC right?
Yes I know where is difference, but its still a tennis court outdoors, so we see that happens at USO, nadal- Djokovic might not met at USO.
