Fiero, I think the reason Coric isn't better also has to do with having no or few real weapons. He's the Gilles Simon of his generation.

Coric has more talent than Gilles Simon. He's still only 22 years old and he has had many injuries in his young career which didn't help. He still has a lot of time to find his mojo so hopefully he will stay injury free. I expect him to be a top contender in a few years.

Poor Khachanov. His ranking is going to plummet as he's in very poor form lately and he has 2 chances of defending his points here: none and fuck all. My guess is he's not even going to win 3 matches here. Likely winner? I'll go with Medvedev.

You were right! Khachanov lost in his first match (technically the second round).

Hadn't checked the results but that sucks for him. He's got acute Zverevitis. One good year followed by a bucket of shit. Needs to start working hard for next year cos right now he's hardly working.

:laugh: That was funny, Frontie. KK drops 990 points today, and down to #16 from #8.

Hope you are right. I’m not so optimistic.
Glad to read a non troll post from you :good:.

I like Coric, he's talented but he also has a nice body and a great butt. Wishing him a successful career! :good::whistle:

Chardy one game away from the upset, up a break 5-3 3rd set

1/14 BPs converted for Medvedev, 0/8 3rd set

Daniil don’t looks fresh, mentally.
No good timing and footwork. Too many UFE.

Medvedev hasn’t lost a match since the US Open final. This would be huge. And Chardy of all people.

You never know when Chardy will pull one off. I was hoping Medvedev would be there to challenge Novak, but great win for the Frenchman.

I just checked the ATP site to refresh my memory of Medvedev’s record since July. It’s quite impressive.

Congrats to chardy, but I think it was mostly due to Daniils poor play.

Nobody wants to listen to me! It was bound to "crash and burn" for Med sooner or later! Even the best have bad days, but of this NG, it's guaranteed they'll have a "fall-off" and start having bad loses! Thiem will be next after winning over the weekend! :whistle: :nono: :facepalm: :eek: :oops:

Even a dead clock is right twice a day. You have been predicting Med's early loss for the last several tourneys and finally, you got it.
