How come Coric doesn't have to wear the pink?

I feel like they are given two or three color options.
I'm still waiting on Delpo to rise out of the standard issue outfit crowd.

I love the tweets from Honey Nut Kyrgios. I ride with that guy.

Good win for Isner today. Back to #1 in the US

Sascha vs Kyrigos coming up shortly. I'm stoked.

Kyrgios is not improving as a tennis player. He is supremely talented but has the maturity of about a 14 year old and no work ethic.

He hit some incredibly stupid shots, as he pretty much always does when I watch him play.
I get that's kind of his style, but it's amazing how many points he just gives away, that end up costing him a game, which can end up costing him the match.

Lost interest in his matches for all the reasons above. Everything is fine when he’s winning, but at the first sign of trouble, he’s in pain and gives up. The youth excuse has run its course.
If he worked on return of serve and shot selection, he would dominate. But he won’t because he doesn’t play tennis to be the best. He plays for highlight-reel shots and attention.
And I’m not even one of those “He’s a disgrace and he’s wasting his talent” types. I used to defend him, but it doesn’t really bother me if he cares or not.

Yeah, not so good for ole Atmospheric Emotional Feeling circa 12:00am. who had Cilic at -245.
But, of course, this rreminds me of a rule I learned long ago -- and remembered yesterday, but just chose to disregard.
- play Isner as a dog, not as a favorite.
You know what.'s better than breaking one's gambling rules? Breaking the same one twice in a row.
Chung -160. Yup.

The second part of your sentence doesn't follow the first.
Also, you're wrong. He's improving. When healthy, the results have been there. But he's been hurt a lot.

I disagree with this just as I disagreed with the last one.
Last tim ehe was healthy, he won Brisbane, and then made it to the round of 16 at Oz after beating Tsonga,, but lost a tight match to Grigs. If you weren't complaining about hsi game at that point, then the above is fake news.

I am mostly with cracka. I think he is manic depressive or something and you're just not going to get max effort for three out of five sets over two weeks (also, his game just may not be built for the current grindball nature of the sport). He is so electric when he is on, though. He was awesome to see in person against Rafa at Cincy and he showed a ton of heart in that Grigs match at Oz. I'd like to know how much, if at all, he is training to be in shape. Grigs may be soft and a headcase, but by all accounts, he is working like a mofo between tournaments.

Playing well for a tourney (250) and a half shows that he’s improving and working to be the best? You can disagree all you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that the results won’t be there until he works on his weaknesses. Hitting tweeners and 110 mph forehands in practice isn’t the answer.

Just when I thought Isner was getting close to retirement, he does this.
Posted on 3/28/18 at 8:04 pm to bayoucracka
Yeah, I don't understand. He is playing well of a sudden after looking terrible the last year or so.
Milos and Delpo up now on the deuce. I like JMDP's pink and black tonight. Kind of Agassi like.

First serve of the match Raonic hits 140 on the T and God stabs a return that lands near the baseline and wins the point.
Posted on 3/28/18 at 8:36 pm to bayoucracka
Meelosh is playing some nice tennis.
Posted on 3/28/18 at 8:41 pm to Bunk Moreland
Yeah they said he hasn’t been broken in Miami, and that’s including a match with Diego.
Posted on 3/28/18 at 9:03 pm to bayoucracka
Delpo is about to tap out Nick Kyrgios style. Carrying on for now, but ending it early would be really disappointing.
