he only reached the final in Rome

Indeed. But Verdasco outplayed him. And Zverev goes out. I do wonder if they had carried on play last night,this may have ended differently.

Murray through in 4 sets. I wonder how often a Number 1 seed has seemed so unlikely to win a Slam.

Tennis coverage in Australia really needs to implement a red button to switch between the matches. 4 matches would be enough. I can pick between matches more during a masters tournament as Bein has WTA and fox or ESPN has the ATP.

Fair enough having the Krygois match but Ash Barty, please.

The last time it happened was on Sunday.

Hewitt must have had a few times as chanceless No 1 seed here

and after the first couple of years Federer-Nadal finals were NID, even if Federer tended to be higher in the rankings

I'm not sure why this story is funny. It just is.

Tsonga out already. It would have been nice to see Petra Kvitova go a bit further, but it might have been a bit of an indictment of the women's tournament had she gone too far.

Muguruza down one set and down 3-1 in the second against Kontaveit.

Muguruza going 4-3 up . Great game . Some amazing shots from both players.

 

[vogue]

Muguruza goes through. Best match I've watched, likely the best women's match so far.

The video of the French player forcing himself on the female journalist is one of the cringiest things I've ever seen.

[OverratedSanity]

Ew that was creepy as ****.

Typical half-apology as well :

I offer my deep apologies to Maly Thomas if she feels hurt or shocked by my attitude during her interview.

 

[Ausage]

Should team up with "I like to kiss" guy.

Not getting much viewing today due to the cricket,but Murray 2-1 sets up and looking fairly comfortable here. As he should be .

 

[vcs]

Klizan is a fairly tricky player to face early on, so not surprised Murray lost a set in his current form.
