That serve is just not looking good at all....every third or fourth serve he is even managing to get in is merely a pattie-cake serve. Hopefully he can weather the storm here and find a way to take this match.
Not sure what's going on but hitting that many balls long by a considerable margin can be a sign he's rushing, possibly not tossing high enough. Something mechanical needs to be addressed before Wimbledon gets underway or its going to be a rough go for Denis.

Denis was up 3-1 in this second set and now he's down 5-3 with Zverev serving for the match.

Well, I guess it's better to get that clunker of a match out of your system prior to Wimbledon than at Wimbledon.

As mentioned by Nadal Fan, four Canadian men in the singles draw as Peter Polansky gets in as a lucky loser...Also, good draw for Milos.

Great looking draw for Canadian fans and tennis fans alike. What a refreshing change from the mess that was another Roland Garros draw.
Love the path that seems quite doable for Raonic to potentially take to another semi-final with Cilic as his only real threat. Shapo has a much more tricky road to travel but does still avoid any lethal threats until the third round against Del Potro at least. Would not be surprised if Polansky finally wins a round here as well based on his matchup.

Feds Wimbledon draw is much easier than Nadals French draw. The top 3 players who could take out Federer are all in the other half. He's going to coast into another Wimbledon final, the only player who could beat him is Cilic and that would be in the semis before he reaches the finals.

Gaby Dabrowski and partner Xu Yifan are into the Eastbourne ladies doubles final. They saved several match points and came back from a set down to win 6-7 7-5 13-11

Really? He plays Andy freakin' Murray in Round 2. I know Murray's not back to form but playing a former champ and world #1 who's still just 31 years old is by no means a cake walk. I definitely would put Denis as the underdog there.

First time that's ever happened, and he ties the all time record for most Lucky Losers with Simone Bolelli (it's not elite company).

Murray pulls out of Wimbledon? Why does he always wait until the draw is out?

Yeah, not cool by Murray, although if Denis can get by Jeremy Chardy in round 1, he does avoid playing Murray in round 2.
