Right. He's not an a-hole. He just legitimately has a screw loose/personality disorder.
Sock shouldn't be 6-19, but I just think there are major singles defects such as poor movement and meh backhand.

The latter is undeniable.
I don't think I'd characterize jizzrag as a bad mover, though. But to go full-circle here, I think that movement is the one aspect of Kyrgios' game that is lacking. I mean, he doesn't have the paradigmatic anti-dynamicism of Isner or the Fee Fi Fo Fum footwork of Raonic, but he'd have to be considered a below average mover for a top 20 player.

What you wrote about App St in the bet thread is eerie. I had to triple check to make sure I didn’t write it myself.

If this is true, and I don't think it is, then it's by choice. You must be thinking of tank-mode Kyrgios.

I just saw the ticker at the end. He barely won that match, and stylistic similarity to Coric notwithstanding, that guy is a challenger-level player. I'm wondering if Daniil shot his wad last week. I'm definitely less optimistic on his chances against the great smug than i was when I wrote that post.
Gotta remember that was a home match for Zhang and surely one of the biggest matches of his life. For DM, it was a very tough spot backing up the biggest title of his career to date. He may keep it close vs. Roger.

I caught the end of Khach and tsestse. They were really laying it on the line in the second set tiebreaker. Great stuff.
Looks like tsetse is out to Anderson today, Fed is through against RBA, Nole won, and Alex is in the quarters. This tournament is shaping up to have some great matches the rest of the way. ETA, Delpo retired against Coric. That bites.

Nah I don't go crazy on midweek CFB games.
Delpo landed on his knee when changing direction... probably nothing serious.

Hopefully not. Hate to see that guy get injured.

Bunk you watch any Fed yet? Looks like his serve turned into a Diego serve in the 2nd vs. RBA but otherwise the stats seem normal.
Posted on 10/11/18 at 7:03 pm to MidnightVibe
Any bets tonight? These dogs don’t look appealing.

Weird on the serve. Has he really done anything since Melbourne/Rotterdam? I feel like he is about to fall off the shelf, like to 30 in the world or just basically sustain a career ending back injury. I'm at peace with that. I'm looking forward to a few Rafa/Nole streetfights at the end of their careers and these nextgen losers finally breaking through.

I'm watching the end of the match now and the movement does seem very good, way better than NYC. Strange things happen with old guys, I guess.

I'm gonna take a shot with Ebden. He went from being ranked 648th to flirting with the top 50 in less than 2 years. That's impressive on its own, but even more impressive for a guy who has had very little success on clay and slow hard courts.
I caught some of his match with Thiem, and while Thiem isn't at home on a quick surface, he played pretty well. Ebden just outplayed him. His game looks like if you took a guy like Seppi and gave him an attacking mentality and great net skills.
His 2018 record vs. players in the top 10 is not shabby at all:
7-6, 7-5 Loss to Fed in Halle.
Straight set win over Goffin at Wimbledon.
3-set loss to Isner in Atlanta.
3-set loss to Anderson in Tokyo.
Win over Thiem a couple days ago.
+4 games at -165 for a standard sized bet looks fairly safe, and I'll try a little nibble on a 2-1 win at +517.

Tennis is shitty sometimes. I got a push but that wasn’t a 7-5, 6-4 match. Oh well... Coric/Fed is probably a better matchup.
Have fun watching Fed/Ninja.
