Bully Wee Villa Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Seems it is just the record since tie-breakers were invented. 1969: Frankie Robbins beat Donald Dell 22-20, 9-7, 6-8, 8-10, 6-4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Big shock over night, Alcaraz out in the 2nd round. Straight set defeat to the Dutchman Van De Zandschlup. Breezed to a Wimbledon title last month and out to a non seed in the second round of the US Open in August. Funny old game. Surely going to be slam number 25 for Djokovic or slam number 2 for Sinner now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Draper through to the quarters with relative ease. Will play the winner of the all-Australian contest between Thompson & De Minaur, so a semi final appearance is a possibility. Murray Mound to be renamed for next year’s Wimbledon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Draper playing superbly and 2 sets up on De Minaur. First slam semi final within reach. Medvedev and Sinner in the late quarter final after this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Done it in straight sets, easy in the end. He’ll play the favourite for the tournament in the semi, which will be either Sinner or Medvedev, who play next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Sinner cruises through against Medvedev and the world number one is clear favourite for the title. He's the only top ten player left after all, the three opponents he could face are not as good as his quarter final opponent. The all American semi should be interesting, two of the main characters of the Netflix Breakpoint documentary going head to head should make good viewing when the next series comes out. Draper's been brilliant and he's not dropped a single set, but he's had a fairly kind run, the only seed he's played is a clearly unfit De Minaur. Playing Sinner will be a whole new ball game and he's a huge under dog. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Only 16 seeds at the time). You can only beat what is in front of you though and he's looked very comfortable so far. Will need a huge performance to beat Sinner though you would think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
