Agreed. Seemed pretty norm to me.

She had a couple of code violations for letting loose on her racquet. At that point in the match, I appreciated the passion.

Clash of the Trash taking place right now as we've got 2 former top-30 players vying for a spot in the Acapulco 500 main draw.

Currently 1 set all between J. Sousa & M. Zverev.

I hope Genie can shake this loss off in quick fashion even though I know that's easy for me to say. Before COVID-19 her ranking was in the mid 330's. Tonight she sits at #116. If she can put together a few more wins next week, she'll easily be back in the top 100.

Bummer All the best to Kim. She's such a class act.

And yet that frozen ranking system hasn't stopped Medvedev from climbing to #2 in the rankings. How about winning more matches, you entitled whiner.

Federer is above Zverev is every facet of life not just tennis rankings.

Really hoping the young Spanish kid Alcaraz sends the whiner packing at the Mexican Open.

Guy is an idiot. If the rankings weren't frozen there is such a thing as a protected ranking.

Vasek saves 6 break points to hold serve and is up 2-5 (Fucsovics serving to stay in the opening set).

Edit: Fucsovics took out plenty of frustration in that game and Vasek breaks at love to win set 1 6-2

Rank Zverev #1, it's been like 15 years since we've had a #1 lose in the first round so lets make it happen!

Vasek breaks again to go up 3-1 in set 2. The fast conditions in Dubai are certainly to his liking.

Vasek needed that hold as Fucsovics had run off three games in a row. Fucsovics serving at 4-5 in set 2.

Man, Vasek has played some great tennis in this 3rd set and yet Fucsovics has been just a little bit better and is serving for the match at 5-4 in set 3.

Well, that's disappointing, but full credit to Fucsovics for raising his level and winning today.

If interested, a free stream to watch young Canadian Liam Draxl in action at the Cleveland Challenger tourney is available by clicking on the following link:

Edit: Liam wins 7-6 6-4 over Roberto Quiroz and played some fine tennis today.
