Milos is through to the quarters, next faces Rafa.

Milos is through to the semi-finals after defeating Rafa earlier today in three sets (and saving three match points in the process). woot!

:charlie:

Sweeet. I know Rafa is not the player he once was but this is still a big win for Milos.

 

[dash]

I hope Milos has enough left in the tank for Feds tomorrow (Roger is looking damn good, he bagled Berdych in the second set of their match earlier today).

Feds dispatches Milos in straight sets today - Too bad, Milos had a chance to extend it to a tie-breaker in the 2nd set, but just couldn't win the big points.

He didn't look very good today dash, but some of that had to do with an on-his-game Federer.

Yeah, way too many unforced errors, he actually gift-wrapped quite a few points for Roger and that's something you can't do if you want to take down the king.

By the way, Vasek Pospisil and Jack Sack took home the doubles title at Indian Wells. Pops is the new "old man" Nestor

Milos through to the quarter-finals in Monte Carlo where he next faces Berdych. Good luck Milos.

I watched the match against Andy Murray yesterday, that foot is clearly still bothering him. Best of luck for a speedy recovery, Milos.

Raonic to undergo foot surgery; hopeful for French Open - Article - TSN

Although he had to withdraw from the Italian Open, Milos reached his highest career ranking earlier today (currently ranked #4 in the world).

Milos has pulled out of the French Open - The foot surgery went well, but there's no need to rush back especially on the punishing red clay of Roland Garros. The bonus is that he can get some extra prep time on grass for Wimbledon.

What the actual fuck has happened to Genie?

Lost her confidence and patience on the court coupled with opponents have figured her out.

Lost her confidence and patience on the court coupled with opponents have figured her out.

She needs to just take a break. Go convalesce in Italy or something. Return when she has the confidence back.

She doesn't come off as someone who wants to go the Kournakova route, but ya never know.

 

[dash]

She's lost the ability to construct points and because her confidence is low, she tries to keep the points short and hit winners. As a result, she commits way too many unforced errors. Hopefully, her new coach can turn things around, but I don't know how soon that will be.

Genie started dating Alex Galchenyuk earlier this year, about when her problems started.

Date a Hab, career goes into toilet.
