thats it. such a shame for alex, but he needs to sort out his serve action. this year the number of footfaults he has had called agaisnt him is frankly criminal, 6-7 that match, inc on that df to hand back the mb :(

it so hard what to think at the moment - he's able to go toe to toe with top 200 guys, but he just cant seem to get things going. 1 last chance for the year next week, it's asking a lot tho.

That does seem to be what the problem is. It's so frustrating when he shows he can play like he's the higher-ranked of the two by miles but then ends up losing. Goodness knows how frustrating it must be for Alex himself.

I think his movement still needs to improve, looks still sluggish and slow at times.

Hope that Rice/Thornley don't have to play Corrie (or the Swiss pair, for that matter) in round 1.

We'll find out later today - & your worst fears are being realised:  Ed & Vahid sailed through their QR1, winning by 2 & 4, so 'twill be 'twixt them & the Swiss! hmm

Things not looking too rosy for Ed & Vahid at the moment:  they've lost the first set by 2-6. cry

A more even second set, with the first break of service coming in the seventh game - & it goes to David & Sean:  *4-3.

R1:  David Rice & Sean Thornley defeated (Q) Adrien Bossel & Michael Lammer (SUI/SUI) by 1 & 3 - & bag a minimum of 15 ranking points smile

*****

And the bad news - maybe - is:

QF:  Alex Kuznetsov & Mischa Zverev (USA/GER) vs David Rice & Sean Thornley

Kuznetsov & Zverev took out the top seeds, John Peers, & John-Patrick Smith, by 3 & 0 in the first round yesterday...

Why is playing an unseeded pairing instead of the top seeds bad news??
