Well there was a little one regarding a mark, the crowd booed Murray, though Leylani handled the matter, I must say The Fog makes tennis at times easy, yes weirdest casual -power, though his focus has always been his down fall, their H2H was 4 all,. though I remember a match many years ago Muzz told Fognini to shut up, I think it was the Shanghai Masters, though Fognini can be annoying to fellow players on court.

The umpire didn't handle the matter very well. Hawkeye clearly showed he made a really bad call. Murray was in the right and even I on TV could see it was out.

Was it worth all that furor? It was 1 point! I'm sure Sir Andy's gotten a few breaks over the years! He wasn't winning that match! F3's the MAN!

Incredible point!

Incredible point!

Back in the day, you had 3 or 4 points like that a whole match! It's almost routine now even for the lowliest of players out there on tour! I'm hopeful seeing points like that instead of witnessing mindless aggression pounding the ball from the baseline the last 20 yrs.!

Incredible point!

Diego was the r/u in this tournament in 2020, even though it was a fun match in ways, his game this year really has been sub par

I was also watching a womens match at the same time Murray's match was on, I only saw Mo showing Murray the mark on the clay as I missed the Hawkeye shot.

Schwartzman has so much to overcome in lack of physical stature, that I wonder if his window of opportunity has closed. He has to beat bigger players with speed and court-coverage, and if he loses a step, he gets hit off the court. I think his heyday may be over.

I also agree, though his dad spent 3 weeks in hospital in March this year, with a serious health problem, I read this was weighing badly on him, mentally, though his form hasnt improved this year at all.

News flash! I heard Robbie K calling String Bean's match on TC. Maybe they finally got a clue

Yes he hasn't been himself for a long time.I hope everything is now ok in his personal life.

FAA played down to the level of his competition again...he is free falling down the rankings

As I said, the consistency won't be there with fringe players who have some talent like FAA, Tiafoe & Taylor! They need to be in the zone to be effective! Their rankings will modulate according to the surface & level of competition! Not shocked in the least here!

There is a tournament in Lyon before RG, maybe FAA should think of playing

Only watched a few minutes B4 running an errand, but F3 was defending out of his mind! Kecmanovic was playing well enough!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

ATP seeds struggling a lot today,
Already out;,
FAA, Khachanov, De Minaur, Korda, Van de Zandschulp. Kecmanovic

Efortless Fognini, he is a joy to watch on clay when he gives his best on a court.

Meanwhile Novak is back with that arm compress thing. Down a break in a first set.
