is also super strong, with great touch on his drop shots. The Frenchman builds points at a high level and Blockx just did not seem mentally ready for the level of precision/effort necessary to beat the 25 year-old.

remember from last year how much Droguet loves the conditions in Umag. He looked really comfortable last year and very comfortable today, as well. Moves so well from the baseline, absorbs pace incredibly effectively, and can turn defense into offense quickly. Droguet's variety
English
Really immature 3rd set from Blockx, who REALLY struggled with his 1st-serve percentage (made just 25% of 1st serves in 3rd set), had questionable shot selection, and just wasn't willing to grind out points from the baseline like he needed to in order to beat Droguet. I actually

@Lord_Croustik @TennisBlogger1 here's the other question I have...Tona is head to toe in Nike...there's no possible way she could have gotten that for free unless she broke into the Nike hut herself...
English
You could genuinely tell me Sakellaridi-Tona was a $15k qualies match and, given the quality, I would believe you. Neither player doing much with the ball, terrible errors from both...from what I've seen, it's been a ROUGH watch. Let's see how the third set plays out...
English
@cullycat1 This feels like tennis in slow motion...it's hard to even describe what is going on here. Tennis at the rec level.
English
@TennisBlogger1 You can't lived till you have seen Sakellaridi strike a 2nd serve...the other thing that amazed me is that Tona is 5-2 in 3rd sets this year....she moves like she has 20 lb weights tied to her legs...

spreading the court from both wings, and Franco did an especially good job of putting pressure on Giustino with his lefty forehand. I think that, over the past couple of years, Roncadelli has done a better job of incorporating offense into his game and getting better depth.
English
Giustino played well in Liege last week, but it was a long week, and taking on a physical player like Roncadelli R1 in Cordenons two days later is a tough task. Roncadelli, once he really got comfortable, did such a great job of playing smart tennis with his lefty forehand,

@icefrostyman @JesseMurphe @RealTennisWiz @thetailgateapp I agree, serve could use some work and I think he could add a little pop to his forehand, as well. Seems to be fine just moving the ball around the court and needs more of an offensive mindset on the court.
English
@JesseMurphe @RealTennisWiz @TennisBlogger1 @thetailgateapp I don't think he serves nearly as well as he should. At 6'5" it should be at a much higher level imo.
Agreed with the forehand bit, but I often get the feeling he's holding himself back and playing the more passive game which he is more comfortable with

Inchauspe ML (+138) @thetailgateapp
Trying to keep the hot hand going. Got this read from @JesseMurphe and I’m liking the momentum.
Like ❤️ if tailing!

@t748wb I think he can be a solid pro in the top 200. But, unless he adds more firepower, don't think he is going to ever reach the top-100 playing the way he is.
English
@TennisBlogger1 You can’t disagree with me here. You cannot tell me that this goof has a strong future. On an outdoor circuit for someone the same height as Zverev to be as bad as he is on serve is hilarious
English
"How to Give Away A Service Game" by Hamish Stewart...I believe that was 4 quick unforced errors in 4 points for Stewart? Here's the thing about his opponent Inchauspe, having watched him recently...he's not going to give you anything for free, nothing flashy, but solid player.
English
@icefrostyman Personally, ball looked clearly wide to me...rooting for Inchauspe, so not upset, but that looked way out to me...
English
@TennisBlogger1 What do you think about The Big Call just now? Thought the umpire was right.
I wish the camera quality wasn't so bad though
English
@t748wb I'll just say this, as we're seeing in this match, it's better to have a lack of big weapons than to think you have a "big weapon" (like Stewart does in his forehand) and just overplay from that wing and hit yourself out of a match (in the short term).
English
@TennisBlogger1 Fair enough, his work rate is impressive for a big man. Down side of that is a very short career. His returning has been pretty good. But I still can’t get my head round how weaponless he is. There’s hardly any winners out of him today
English
@t748wb I totally agree that he needs bigger weapons to move up much higher in the game. But, he has the movement and rally tolerance. I could see a world where he's able to add more pop to his game. The base for being a solid pro is there though, IMO.
English
@TennisBlogger1 I honestly can’t get over how bad Paul is! For being 6 foot 5 his serve is a complete liability! If this is his standard, I will make a lot of money betting against him in the future
English
@t748wb I'm watching now. Have watched Paul in a couple ITF's recently, as well.
English
@TennisBlogger1 Have you watched this match? Inchauspe couldn’t hold his piss let a lone a service game

La Copa del Rey de Tenis ha sido mi último torneo como profesional
Me hacía ilusión que fuera en España, y este torneo emblemático era un escenario perfecto para despedirme
Agradecido a los que habéis estado conmigo durante este viaje y al tenis por todo lo que me ha dado

@Kevin_Allen98 Djokovic is the best player of all time. But Federer is the better grass player. Comparing Federer and Djokovic at Wimbledon is unfair because Roger's worst defeats to Djokovic at Wimbledon came towards end of career. Best judge of peak levels on grass is 2012 Wimbledon + RF won.
English
Federer never beat anyone of significance at Wimbledon. His biggest win would be over Murray (but he was still not in his prime back then). Then the 2 victories over teen/pre-prime clay-courter Nadal. That's the only reason fans think he is some king. He's just a vulturer
Ash@tennisville1
I don’t know why Federer is considered the king of Wimbledon Sampras was an amazing grass court player and won 7 Wimbledons in 8 years, something even Federer could not do

Is Miyoshi really hustling over to Granby for his qualifying match against Kuzuhara after the title in Laval today? Or is he pulling out? That would be wild if he tried to play Granby too!
