I know it seems juvenile and silly but it does helps..I have seen my opponents get frustrated with their games versus me smash their rackets and I did it consistently at tournaments until I matured.:laydownlaughing

I'm completely agnostic on the one-hander. It doesn't blow my skirt up they way it does for you lot. And the two-hander doesn't offend me, aesthetically, as it does some. Some of you folks are a bit cultish about it, as it goes the way of the dinosaur.

You're a 1 HBH hater B-) and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. There will continue to be more guys with 2 HBH but there will also be some players with 1 HBH that will be more fun to watch!

boom coric wins 6-1, 7-5, big win for borna.

Thiem is doing his best to take the place of the Berdych/Tsonga/Ferrer level of player. Nothing wrong with that, but I wouldn't expect much more - although think he will win a Slam or two because he'll play a large portion of his peak as the Big Five are fading.

Thiem is very often upset on HC, losing to lower ranked players. I am surprised that he is still ranked in the top 10.

Very poor match from Dominic. Errors galore. I guess he has some extra time to get ready for MC.

 

[DarthFed]

Nice win for Coric and he could have a decent shot to make the QF. Your favorite skeletor is the highest remaining seed there.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

JMDP breaks in second set. One hold away from winning the match.

Roger vs. JMDP on Monday.

If Roger can beat JMDP, I think he will at least reach SF here.

The KOD did again :nono

This will be the one prediction Tignor gets correct..this court isn't as slow or high bouncing at IW..JMDP will be able to put a lot of pressure on Roger, imo

boom coric wins 6-1, 7-5, big win for borna.

Big win for Borna Coric. Thiem was livid with himself in that second set by the looks of it - failing to take it before the rain break and paying the price.

You're a 1 HBH hater B-) and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. There will continue to be more guys with 2 HBH but there will also be some players with 1 HBH that will be more fun to watch!

I'm pretty sure you're kidding, as I'm not a hater of any stripe. Tell me, though, why the 1-hander is more fun to watch. I'm asking seriously. I thought you guys just thought it was prettier.
