Sock gone in straight sets

How is this possible? I heard he has this explosive topspin forehand that just jumps off the clay court. How could he get beat?

My thoughts exactly. I'm always hearing how this is his best surface and etc but he loses in straight sets

Nothing pisses me off more during this tournament to see tennis channel and nbc showing the same freaking match

And neither of them live sometimes. Coverage of the Frenchie is sub par.

Yep as much as people rag on ESPN for other things, their tennis coverage so far and away better than any other network. Pretty happy they have full coverage of Wimbledon and the US Open while having most of the coverage for the Aussie Open as well

Half hour later and both are showing the same match

No tiebreakers in the 5th set makes no sense

Verdasco took the 1st set off Zverev.

Tiafoe in a 5th set with Fognini

Fognini is so much better on clay. Gives everyone fits.

Only 840 PM in Paris and they stop play lol. God I hate this tournament. Get lights or a freaking roof already

 

[bksballer89]

Everyone is wondering why they stopped so early. This is hilarious. BTW the sunset time in Paris today is 943 PM local time. They stopped play more than an hour earlier.

 

[bksballer89]

According to Darren Cahill, they could have played at least another set which sounds about right considering they had about another hour before sunset.

Face it, US has one of the worst tennis coverages on tv in the entire world!

espn coverage ball to ball from start to finish of wimby and the us open is amazing. Plus you can see the other courts on espn3. I have no idea what you're talking about

Wouldnt surprise me to see Pliskova (RH) get upset at some point too. Hits with almost no topspin.

 

[bksballer89]

Not home but I see Verdasco is up 2 sets to 1 on Zverev.

Sam looking like he will bow out. Down 2 sets to 1 and down a break

Tsonga down 2 sets to 0
