Upset Corner - AO 2021 Edition

[GameSetAndMath]

This is your one stop for all upset related stuff.

Before I could even open this thread, we had few upsets yesterday. Later Monf is the highest seed to fall at #10.
Benoit Paire also lost. Does anyone project anything today?

We discussed this on the other thread, but worth saying here, firstly, that Monfils was heartbroken by his loss, and that was hard to see, in his presser. But we were talking about the French players in the larger context, as @El Dude mentioned, rather light-heartedly, in the terms of FAA losing yet another final, and perhaps invoking his French heritage, but there is something in that. Bringing me to Paire: he can be SO much more style over substance. Quit with the popped collar, the hipster beard, and pay more attention to your tennis, man. He really is endlessly disappointing.

Sorry for the rant, but glad you've revived this thread. Not sure I see upsets today, but Kokkinakis is back in action....he's always dangerous, when healthy.

Here's one, Radu Albot just kicked out Roberto Bautista Agut. Down side of playing ATP Cup the week before a Major?

No diss on the schedule, but they all make their choices.

Just showing that on my TV. Goffin is getting to be a spent squib, but great win for the kid.
