Good stuff, cracka. Stay cool out there. I've noticed some of the announcers are basically calling him young Djokovic.

Fritz comes back to win the 2nd set tiebreaker after being down 0-4! Let's go.

cracka,

Who is that a picture of?


ETA: because, if Coric, I also can't stand him, and they've been saying the young Djokovic thing for like four years now.

ETA2: Or is it Chung? If Chung, I'm actually okay with him, and the Djoke comparisons are more legit. He good.

Everybody wang chung. Look at that backhand. The wrists and legs are like an impersonation of Djoker.

If I had to guess, I would have said RBA in the far court, but I know Chung is playing Cuevas.

Down goes Fritz 4-6 in the third.

Solid tournament, though. Will provide some much needed ranking points and a nice paycheck to help fund his new coach, who I'm sure ain't taking on clients pro bono.

It took me a few looks, but I got there. The backhand form was the giveaway. The legs are in impersonation of Djoker in form only as Djoke's are long and twiggy, and Chung's are sorta short and chunky.

Had more on Chung than Fritz, so up 20 bucks on the day (so far).

Still down on the tournament by quite a bit (thanks baghdatis).

Cuevas in far court, Chung in near court (can see his glasses).

As much as I hate to admit it, Chung on these courts will be worth a shot vs. Fed, no matter the odds.

I agree with all but the "as much as I hate to admit it" part. :)

Chung and Delpo are the only guys left in the draw with any chance of beating Fed.

Nike has been trotting out some seriously terrible clothes for their players. I guess Fed and Nadal get some kind of exemption from having to wear their standard offering. But if you're signed with Nike and not a tennis God, you've been looking pretty ridiculous on the court the last year or so.

Nice view of the feisty little one. Looks like she's in a fight to the death per usual.
