ATP 2018 ATP Tour - 250/500

[JackNah_8]

At the hopman cup?

 

[red+black]

So the Paris Masters is about to start. I think it’s ridiculous that any city gets a Grand Slam and a Masters.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Federer claims his 99th career in Basel, will be interesting to see if he plays Paris this week ? I assume that he will give it a miss. Anderson beats Kei for what is remarkably just his 5th ATP title given his ranking. The result leaves Kei 145 points above Isner in the rankings in the race for the final spot in London assuming JMDP doesn't recover in time from his injury.

His drop in the rankings is going to be a good old laugh this time next week.

His drop in the rankings is going to be a good old laugh this time next week.

Can't wait, been clogging up the rankings all season, felt a little ridiculous at the time as well. Has a reasonable doubles career ahead of him anyway.

I suppose no matter what happens Jack Sock will always be a masters 1000 winner and have qualified for an end of season finals.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Federer a confirmed starter for Paris, I must admit I didn't expect that.

 

[JackNah_8]

I'm surprised he is playing. It'll be a competitive field.


Also Sock has so many points to defend in this masters .

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Nadal withdraws which effectively hands Novak the end of year World no 1 ranking.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Isner loses in Paris which means his only chance of qualifying for London is if both Nadal and JMDP withdraw, it's obviously very likely that Del Potro does.

 

[JackNah_8]

Surprisingly Sock has won 2 matches in a row

 

[Roobs321]

Surprisingly Sock has won 2 matches in a row

Yeah when Nadal withdrawed (as the top seed in Sock's 16th seed section), I had to laugh at the luck. Even so, he won them well. Hopefully Thiem puts an end to it.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Surprisingly Sock has won 2 matches in a row

Yeah need Thiem takes out the trash tonight, I must give sock some credit though I didn't expect him to beat Gasquet.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

It took 3 sets but at least Thiem took out the trash, Sock drops 820 ranking points.

 

[JackNah_8]

. Khachanov def zverev.


Khachanov is having a good year, another good young player worth watching

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I get that Jack Sock is a good ordinary player and his 2017 season was a lucky season (partially due to its injury riddled tour.)

But what's with the pile on?

 

[JackNah_8]

Final Khachanov v Novak

Good to see a younger player make the final.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Federer loses to Djokovic despite not dropping serve once.

 

[pepsi]

Federer loses to Djokovic despite not drooping serve once.

Saved 12 break points though. Federer in better form this week.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Khachanov beats Djokovic to take the title, what a week for him defeating 4 top 10 players to win the Title, a much more deserving masters Title than Sock's 12 months ago.

 

[pepsi]

I think we have the leader of the next gen in Khachanov.

 

[JackNah_8]

Well deserved win. I remember him playing against Nadal at US Open, he had the opportunity to beat Nadal back then.

Good to see him win the Masters, I actually think he has a better game than Zverev.

 

[Roobs321]

There was so much hype surrounding the likes of Khachanov and Coric in 2013-14, has been a pleasure to watch their seasons unfold the way they have. Rather than a few plucky runs, these two have been impressive at several tournaments, are are now in the wings of the top 10. Should have fine careers.

Khachanov starting to put together a strong finals winning percentage record as well.

Sometimes I forget how young Karen and Coric are. I remember when they first started on tour, they were promoted as the next players to dominate.


Now they are starting to play better and achieving some good results. Hopefully next year they'll perform well at the Grand Slams.
