I don't know why I'm awake, but the Madrid draw is out. Check out Thiem's potential path to the title if the seeds hold true.

Del Potro
Sock (or Paire)
Federer
Nadal
Murray
Djokovic

Smooth sailing...

Theim is my favorite young player. I see grand slams in his future.

Grigor just got defaulted near the end of his match in Turkey. He split tiebreaks with Schwartzman, then I think was cramping or ran out of gas. Anyway, some people are saying he asked the ump if he would get defaulted for breaking another racquet. Ump says "yes," so Grigor proceeds to smash em up.

Haha I'm gonna have to find a video of that. Reminds me of when Roddick asked the ump if he received a warning yet for racket abuse. Ump says no, so he promptly hammers the seat to get a warning.

For those who need a reason to watch tennis... Madrid ball girls:

Dimitrov Tantrum
Love how he went for the 2-for-1 on the final smash.

He could have at least swung the handle to make a joke out of it. Sad part is that it was 5-4 in the 2nd set. It's not like he was down 5-0 in the 5th set of a major and exhausted. Dude needs to hang it up if he has no interest in Masters events.

I think he should be fined and counseled. Antics like that affect the integrity of the sport.

Come to think of it isn't he already on some sort of probation with the ATP for getting arrested in Miami amongst other things?

ETA#2 These two young Australians both seem like real assholes

He was definitely arrested, but it looks like the ATP never got involved. This is not his first tank job either, and he's also famous for losing the shortest match (28 mins) in ATP history. Throw in the cocaine rumors, and he's making Kyrgios look like a tennis ambassador.

For informational purposes only... Kyrgios 80/1 is tempting, but that draw is brutal.
Looks like a Novak-Rafa final.
