2016 ATP World Tour 250/500 Thread

No wonder Groth and Millman are seeded at Memphis. Look at how weak the field is. The Argentina Open is quite strong for a 250 event. Isner is a strange entrant there.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Groth beaten by Marchenko in Memphis, 6-7 6-7.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Millman the only one left flying the flag for the Aussies in Memphis beating Krajicek in a tight one 6-4 6-7 7-5. Ebden retired hurt after losing the first set 6-1 and 3 love down in the third (not sure what the problem was). Saw a bit of the Millman match, he just never gives up He will play either Benjamin Becker or Tommy Paul in the next round.

Richard Gasquet withdrew from Rotterdam due to a groin strain.

Good win by Millman!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Millman's next opponent is Becker who took three sets to beat lowly ranked wildcard Paul (I'm hoping this means Millman will beat him easily ). Will be interesting to see if the four top seeds survive this round.

Bautista Agut v Sousa is a decent match. Never realised how weird Bautista's forehand looks.

Edit: Bautista Agut gets coaching warning and then turns on beast mode

Is there a way to see how many points each player is defending lets say each month?

Millman out in straight sets after losing to Benjamin Becker.

Millman out in straight sets after losing to Benjamin Becker.

Dam it! Was following the scores on my phone and he was 6-0 in the tie breaker in the second and lost it 8-6 What was that all about??? Hope it doesn't mean an injury...

Was going to watch the match but slept in. Disappointing, Becker is a tough player but would of hoped a win, not going to have a chance to make back-to-back QF too often.

ATP has a good breakdown for each player for what points contribute to their ranking and when they'll lose it.

Nadal is playing at the moment, looks like he will in straight sets

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Nadal wins in straight sets.

Sets up a quarter final clash against Pablo Lorenzi.

 

[JackNah_8]

That's good news, Nadal won. I really missed seeing him at the Australian Open.

Quoting myself because what I posted about the tie breaker was wrong. Sometimes those live scores sites are a bit wonky or I may have misread it somehow Anyways, he was never 6-0 up in the tie break, Becker led 5-2 then Millman got back into it and had a set point at 6-5 but couldn't capitalise on it.

Taylor Fritz has defeated Steve Johnson in Memphis.

 

[ozgamer]

Yep, gr8 win. 1st ever ATP qtr-final for the Fritz Magnet.

Despatched the no.2 seed in straight sets no less!

 

[Hamingja]

Bigger crowd at the Challenger than you see at most ATP events.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Nadal through to the semis in Argentina where he will take on young hot prospect Dominic Thiem.

Fritz will play Berankis next. Very winnable match for him.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Great results for Fritz and Zverev, the players around this age bracket really looking promising.

 

[Hamingja]

Fritz will play Berankis next. Very winnable match for him.

Berankis is a good indoor player. I haven't seen Fritz play so if Fritz has a power game he could outgun him but Berankis is underrated indoors.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Berankis has played well in this tournament but I rate Fritz more highly.

In other news, Del Potro is making his long-awaited return at the Delray Beach Open this week! Great news!
