First 2 matches start tonight in USA time.
Thompson vs. Sock
Isner vs. Krygios
Thompson vs. Sock
Isner vs. Krygios
If Sock loses this match then it is over for us.
Sock will never be more than an occasional threat to the top players. He has nothing but a forehand and a first serve. He is also a meathead. Does not have the smarts to overcome anything strategy wise. Once someone gets his number he is toast. Hopefully some of the younger Americans can develop more and have a chance to be a constant in the top 5.
I think you are little bit harsh on Sock. I think he has improved tremendously.
Well sock and Johnson won the doubles match. So much pressure on Nick tonight
Wow Sam Querrey gets the ball instead of Sock vs Kyrgios. Stunning.
Yeah, that was weird.
sock's going to do well for the next several months i'm thinking. clay is what he looks forward to most every year.
i like that he's committed to fitness, and is doing everything in his power to compensate for a lack of a great all around game, just like isner and blake did. gotta go with the weapons you have, and try to improve on the weaknesses as much as possible, and sock's doing exactly that. he'll never be an excellent mover, and top level tennis is 90% about great movement. he's worked hard on mitigating that. can't ask for a whole lot more.
lazy punks like harrison bother me a lot more. if he had half the heart and determination of somebody like michael russell, he could be a top 20 player pretty easily.
