My bad then. Have not noticed him at all. Are most of those points from the clay season or are they spread out?

Got 250 for winning Estoril (Clay)
Got 360 for reaching the semis at Indian Wells (Hard)
Got 300 for reaching the finals at Rio (Clay)

Those are his three biggest results. His only other good result was when he almost beat Nole at Monte Carlo. He's definitely better on clay.

We played an hour and 22 minuted but Murray and JDP still battling in set #1

Murray pulling away now.

Cilic seems to cruising along so far this tourney. I dont think he has dropped a set yet.

On the women's side Aggie got absolutely rolled by Alize Cornet.

Rafa is absolutely destroying his competition.

I think he only lost a total of 20 games in his 4 matches so far

Thanks

Yes, jinx him please!

Looks like I did lol

Raonic is saving match points deep in the fifth, and Tennis Channel is busy showing us Venus' 5-1 and 5-2 games. It's a little mystifying.

I dont have Tennis Channel anymore. TBH, I dont miss it either. I can watch any match I want online anyway.

Raonic lost for those who wont get to see it until the repeat coverage tonight. Apparently that Correno kid is the real deal (on clay at least).

I was coming here to post that same thing. I'm so glad I don't care about this tournament too much. If Tennis Channel and NBC had coverage of Wimby and the US Open, I have no idea what I'll do.

Only thing I like about tennis channel is for the smaller tournaments/Davis Cup.

This has been a good comeback from Venus though. She is now up 6-5 after being down 5-1.

 

[bksballer89]

Venus wins the 1st set 7-5. That was pretty good

 

[bksballer89]

Defending champ on the women's side is down a break in the 3rd but tennis channel refuses to show that match.

Assuming Venus doesn't win this tournament, we will have a first time winner

Venus spanked the last 2 sets. New Major winner for this one. Until Serena comes back this could happen quite often.

Yep but azarenka and sharapova should be back for the next 2 majors so we will see

True, bet neither has been playing much. Maybe the US Open they will have shaken the rust off. I would be surprised if they won Wimby.

Murray is quietly having a decent tourney. So is Stan. Fognini gave him trouble but he does that to everyone on clay.

On the womens side, this thing is wide open for Halep to finally get a major. She got out of shape earlier in the year, but looks a little fitter now.

This guy Stan is something else. Dude legit basically only shows up for the GS events. It is incredible lol. Before winning on the Clay in Switzerland a week prior to the French, his results looked like this for the last 2 months

3rd round in Rome- Won 1 match
2nd round in Madrid- didn't win any matches
3rd round in Monte-Carlo- Won 1 match
4th round in Miami- Won 2 matches

Thiem vs Novak tomorrow. Who ya got?

Raonic is the only top 8 seed missing from the quarters.
