Well done Nick

Seems to do well when flying under the radar. Strange given his desire to be the centre of attention all the time.

 

[JackNah_8]

He won! That's great news!

 

[Gigantic]

Well done.

Isner seemed to be struggling with some sort of a leg injury but great week for Nick, I gave him flack for his loss the other week but he got the job done here.

Tomic out to Lajovic @ Los Cabos. But it's OK as he has some new arm candy.

First match loss, well that was worth missing Rio for

'Grats to ol' Dr Ivo . He's taken advantage of the Olympic situation. Since Wimby he's won Newport, Washington Finalist (l. Monfils), 3rd round Toronto (l. Dimitrov) and now takes out Los Cabos by beating F.Lopez.

Got talking to a guy on the train today. Turns out he is the Kokk's uncle. He said that he is going to just train for a little while, get the shoulder right, and his next event will be an exhibition in Greece. BTW, he revealed that he was offered to switch alligances to Greece, but decided not to. (From a selfish point of view, kind of wish he had. I was born in Greece and my family only moved here a few years ago, so I feel more Greek than Australian. Still love Johnny Millman though!)

Thanks for that. I'm glad he chose to keep playing for Australia

Did anyone else see this article from before the Olympics? Some worrying comments about the state of his shoulder, hope he can get it right.

Geez, that sucks...

Anyone else watching Millman vs Nishokia? 12 deuces in the first game!

Yes, I am watching it. Three breaks of serve already! Good to see Millman coming into the net a bit more though - he needs the practice

FFS Johnny..

Takes the second set

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Millman wins in three sets

Unfortunately Duckworth lost in three sets

 

[The City Boyz]

Great fight Johnny boy!

 

[matt_897]

Keeps winning the matches he's meant to, Nishikora is a decent talent. His match with Ramos will be an absolute grind.

Won't be pretty viewing! Still give him a good chance though..

 

[The City Boyz]

Please serve it out Marcos!

 

[The City Boyz]

Yes! He does! Great win by Johnny Millman as well..

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Millman having a good run here, won his match against Fratangelo this morning so is now into the quarter finals. Next opponent is no.1 seed Gasquet though
