When I looked at the results, I initially felt as though draw became easier for Fed with losses of Stan and Khachanov. However, if you look at the draw, it is still brutal for Fed. Next round is alright. But in 4th round he gets Medvedev who is in form (and this will be their first meeting if they meet), potential QF against Anderson who took him out in Wimby, potential SF against Sasha/Perseus who took him out in WTF/AO and potential final against Nole who took him out.... (ok I don't have to complete that last part).

Tiafoe v. Kecmanovic intriguing, for those following the young guns. Tiafoe won the first in a TB. All tied up in the 2nd set, but Frances threatening.

Looking at the scores, I see that Fed beat Radu, but it doesn't look like it was easy.

Frances rocking the up-collar and the big game, gets the win, but he's cramping now. Gutsy win.

I think this is a good lesson for the young Zverev to play someone so committed and resourceful. Maybe what people don't like about him as that he feels that it's just coming to him. Well, it's not coming in this match, just yet.

Ferrer is playing with house money, and you can see it. If he wins this, though, that's very bad on Zverev. The guy has one foot out the door.

12 DFs for Zverev. That's a respect for the returner...and probably a bit of brain-fart.

OMG! Ferrer schools Zverev. Not done, just yet.
