Watched the federer match in the last set and he did look shaky and didnt know if he would beat a streaking fucsovics but he managed to pull one out of the fire with another win. This entire tournament he has been struggling and not in his normal roger fashion.
Coric is doing it again with not looking so good in the first set but then beating up his opponent in the second.
He was looking strong in the third set but basilashvili has come back to make it 5 -5 in the final set.
He isnt a bad player and plays alot more subtle then coric does.
Finally coric won. It was a very good match. both Coric  and Basilashvili gave everything to win the match but eventually Basilashvili had to surrender in the tie break.

I am starting to think that may be Coric will do the same against Federer. Who knows.

Did anyone just see the epic match between Nadal and Kyrgios? I'm still amazed at what just happened in this 3+ hour match. Kyrgios showed what he is capable of when he is in top form coming from 3-6 down in the third set tiebreak and saving three match points to beat Nadal 3-6, 7-6, 7-6 to reach the quarter finals in Acapulco. I just wish Kyrgios plays like this all the time and like I said in previous posts I'm hoping that it is this year he finally gets his mentality right because he has shown that he can beat the best and can potentially be one of the greatest players.   

I missed this epic match but after seeing the highlights, I’m awestruck by Kyrgios absolutely stunning performance from him. It is not easy to save three match points especially when you’re up against Nadal, but he made it look so easy. Also did you’ll read Nadal has accusused him of being disrespectful, and he’s refuted that what do you’ll think of Nadal’s comments?.

Well you guys are missing Fucsovics vs Federer.
First set ended up by tie breaker. Federer won it. In the 2nd set both are going same. Fucsovics lost the first game but Federer could not capitalize it. He lost his 4th game. This set should be interesting.

But Federer regain his form in the second set and won it 6-4. It was delayed (4-4) though because of some rain, but Federer eventually, so now its him vs Coric. I'm a big fan of Federer, but I'm giving Coric a chance to upset Roger here.  Grin

Who is not a fan of Federer. It was going well until the 9th games. Everything washed out when Federer broke the 9th game and the next game was just to wrap up the set.

Coric lost one service. Let's see if he can win this.

Coric already won against Berdych. He will face Basilashvili in the QF. Meanwhile Monfils won and is thru to the semis. Federer vs Fucsovics is easy to predict - Federer. But the rest might pull a surprise though. So I would predict maybe Federer on the finals but the I wanted to see more of the rest of the players. The draw shows the Federer vs Coric might be the set up for the semis and then Monfils vs Tsitsipas. So its going to be a tough draw for Federer.

Tsitsipas lost the 2nd set against Hurkacz but winning the 3rd set easily. This means Tsitsipas confirmed his semi with Monfils. In the semi my bet is for Tsitsipas.

Now in the other semi which I am predicting Federer vs Coric, Coric have a good chance. If he wins the semi then he will kiss the trophy and if Federer wins in the semi then he will lift the trophy.

I think I am too early to predict but let's see. :-)

I completely missed it. I was busy whole day. In fact I did not have any idea that there was a match of Nadal. I was following Dubai hard. I am a bit surprise that an 72 ranked member took down Nadal. I can imagine the match was full with entertainment.

Anyway back to Dubai hard:
Good to see Federer and Coric made it to this stage. Now it's fairly easy to pick the semi finalist for me hehe
Monfils already in the semi
Tsitsipas is making his way to semi
In between Fucsovics vs Federer by bet is for Federer and
In between Coric vs Basilashvili my bet is for Coric.

If everything goes right then Federer or Coric will lift the trophy I think.

That's what we have been talking about Nick since last year. He really has the potential to be number but he needs to change a lot specially his attitude, but a win is a win and we can't take anything away from him. He was down or saved three match points and win against Rafa. Well there was some instances wherein he wanted to quit and then verbally telling the crowd to shut up, LOL, typical Nick. But the needs to mature, otherwise it will be another wasted talent in the center court.

Sorry mate, I was down this past couple of days, although I have a good win in land based casino here so everything is good.  Grin

Nishikori vs Hurkacz is a good match right now. Hurkacz takes the first set but Nishikori is fighting back 6-5 and he is currently serving in the second set.
Good to know that house lose and gamblers win hehe. congrats bud.

I am not into this matches however I will be waiting for Federer vs Verdasco and Coric vs Berdych. May be I will think of risking some money too just not sure right now.

Just fininshed watcing the roger federer match and he was having trouble with verdasco for some reason. But ended up winning the match with a Fedex special at the end. Grin
Nishikori losing was a surprise and everyone was in shock with the poland player winning. He must be still having troubles with his back to lose to a low ranked player like hurkacz.
Next up is coric against berdych and after seeing berdych having problems in his previous match yesterday I would expect coric to win this late round of tournament.

You were right about Coric as he won his match against Berdych after losing the first set 1-6 but then fought back strong to win the second set 6-1 and the third set was a close one with both Men fighting to get the win but Coric came out on top winning the tie break 7-4. That is one match I wouldn't of liked betting on as it was up and down through out the match.

I'm looking forward to the Hurkacz v Tsitsipas after Hurkacz upset Nishikori in the last match, can he pull off another big upset and win against Tsitsipas? I'm thinking not as I actually think Tsitsipas will go onto winning the tournament.

I was late in the party, forgot to predict Bencic winning this one, and she actually did. Good for her.  Grin
Yh too late and the tennis world moved ahead 4 days hehe

Anyway, in Dubai hard, Federer is going to face Verdasco. I am expecting a 2 - 0 win for Federer. And in Coric vs Berdych match my prediction is 2 - 1 for Coric.

Edit: Kei was able to survived the second set and won 7-5. Let's see how it goes, Hurkacz is no push over as well.

And Bencic won the title. A great win, a great memory for Bencic. My gut feeling turned out right.

This was a great match. Bencic won the first set then Kvitova did not give her any chance in the 2nd set. Won it by 1 - 6. But finally Bencic got her rhythm back in the third set and won the Match.

Congratulations giant killer :-)

The Delray Beach tournament final between Evans and Albot has been great so far with both Men playing well. The match is into the third set with both Men so far holding their serve. I'm thinking Evans will win as he has been in good form since the start of the tournament and even upset Isner in the semi-final.

Albot defeated Evans 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7), he saved three match points in the decider tie-break to win. I would say that he is another giant killer in this tournament as he take down Steve Johnson (4) and and Nick Kyrgios. Anyways, I would say that this is just a minor tournament that's why upsets do happen.

Evans is looking like he will take this match and win the finals.
I was temped to bet on isner when they played but something told me there would be an upset and it happened.
Daniel evans won the last 5 matches he played and nothing seems to be stopping his progress now.
Being ranked just under 150th in the ATP this win should lower his standings on the world stage.
update
Evans double faulted on his last serve so he lost the match when being up 4 to 1 at the beginning of the tiebreak set.
He made a good run but Albot is a tough player and won a little bit on his game.

WE are still waiting on the big guns to return to action on the Men's side however there is a tournament going on in the US where there is a few known players playing and the match going on right now between Evans and Isner is a good one as Evans might cause an upset leading in the 3rd set 5-3 and is currently serving for the match. This is to make the final in the Delray Beach tournament.
