Indian Wells, BNP Paribas Open, Masters 1000

[GameSetAndMath]

Here's a crazy Kohlschreiber stat: he's finished every year from 2007-18 in the #20-43 range. How's that for consistency?

8 titles, all ATP 250s. He's never gone beyond a QF at a big tournament (Masters or higher), and never reached the final of an ATP 500.

Whichever player you comment about, get jinxed, one way or other.

I have no idea where you picked that up from, but Kohly did win today.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hard to know. He did look sweaty and lesser-than. Another speculation is that he has the ATP politics on his mind. Of course, another option is that Kohlschreiber out-played him, which is not to be discounted. But for what it's worth, Djokovic is playing the doubles right now, so he's not on his death bed.

Thanks....he must be okay if he can play doubles.

Pete must be enjoying watching Federer.

Man Roger rushes you like crazy. He is playing like he needs to be somewhere else. It must be frustrating for anyone on the other side of the net.

Roger looking good. Love the dark teal outfit.

I better focus on Rafa, then.

 

[Murat B.]

Nice point there. Old school tennis.

 

[El Dude]

Wow, great rally.

 

[Carol]

Stan is flying around the earth and far of the court......

Playing well, but to me, those look like pajamas.

That was my point. Dude was bad mouthing Kohly and Kohly immediately created an upset.

No, he was praising Kohly.

I know you meant it in a positive sense. But, usually that phrase is used in a negative sense often.

Fed’s up a set and a break, but you could begin with Stan, just to be absolutely certain.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

You call what he wrote as praise. Then I would encourage Dude to praise you too.

And Novak and Fog won. IMO Kohls has played really well, he doesn't win tournaments but he knows how to give a hard time to his opponents including the top players

 

[atttomole]

Wawrinka seems to struggle with sliced returns of serve.

I know but you get me

He said no more than Kohlscreiber deserves, but no less. I think we all agree that he's an admirable mid-level guy, for top 20/40. You seem to think a lot about the jinx. It's cool if you're superstitious.
