Miami 2018 (17th March - 1st April)

[danstar]

Dash did not fire a shot in 2nd or 3rd set very disappointing.

Ash seems to be starting to get into season 2018 now

Good timing Nick. This one will go through to the keeper.


ps it comes from this

Kokk lost in a bad tempered match. Nick won in SS

I reckon it started with this

 

[Kaan]

Whenever you think Kyrgios has matured he does something stupid.

The tide is turning and the next crop of players are making their mark here in Miami. The following players have made the 4th round. Kyrgios Zverev, Chung, tiafoe, coric and shapovalov.

The Next Gen fighting back

 

[pepsi]

Zverev beat kyrgios in straight sets.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Zverev beat kyrgios in straight sets.

Nick'll be salty about that

 

[BobbyMorri]

Nick has bad back issues again.

The WTA have had 8 different semis finals for IW/Miami. Collins has come from the clouds to beat Venus easily. Venus seems to be the barometer for the tournament. She is always thereabouts but never a champion.

Zverev v Isner in the final. Would be pretty impressive for Zverev to win his third Masters.

 

[Me Myself and I]

Barty & Coco in the doubles final.

Zverev v Isner in the final. Would be pretty impressive for Zverev to win his third Masters.

Hopefully he does as I don't want a servebot to win one.

Bloody Sloane Stephens. Wins the US Open, does nothing for the next 6 months, then suddenly wins Miami.

Ostapenko will probably stay in the top 10, regardless of what happens at the French Open this year.

 

[Firestarter]

Congrats to Barty for winning doubles.

 

[Hamingja]

Congrats to Barty for winning doubles.

Amazingly the biggest title she won with Dellacqua was Birmingham so a new career best win for her.

4 lost GS finals will unfortunately do that.

Ostapenko will probably stay in the top 10, regardless of what happens at the French Open this year.

Well, yes, because you can be sure that those ranked below her will do much worse than her

 

[electricfeel]

Hopefully he does as I don't want a servebot to win one.

Servebot won oh well its his first and probs only Masters. Didnt realise he's 32 years old. Sascha has many more to win.

 

[Roobs321]

Feels a bit ew, but Isner has been a perennial Top 20 player for nearly a decade and had lost 3 Masters finals before. It's not like Zverev's form is any more reliable (3 Masters might have been premature for him as well).

Fine with the Isner win as a Career Masters. Isner makes these deep Masters runs out of the blue every year to stay in the top 20, so he might as well win one. Solid wins against Raonic, Del Potro, Zverev, etc. is a solid campaign. Winning at Miami (rather than something like Paris) is a fairly big achievement for him.

Last 3 Masters titles have been won by players from The Americas
