Big fan of Felix but lovely for Humbert

Only just turned 21. Never played a Grand Slam main draw until last US Open (2018) where he was in qualis and came through. Had only won one GD main draw match until this week.

Come out of nowhere really - he was just one of the middling pack, as far as the French were concerned

And now in the last 16 at Wimbly

That Goffin/Med match was a cracker and I only saw the last set.

I only saw the last half of the last set - the level of tennis was fabulous, as was the tension!

Tennis Abstract rate dan 75.3% to beat Sousa today, no pressure then. Big chance, hope Dan can take it

With a top half now of

Djoko v Humbert
Goffin v Verdasco
Pella v Raonic
Bautista Agut V Paire

Humbert wont beat him, Goffin did on clay 2 years ago but is 5-1 down career wise. Verdasco is 11-4 down but it is 2010 since he last beat him.

In the semis he could play Pella (who he thrashed only time they played albeit RG 2013), Raonic who he is 8-0 against and only lost 1 set the first time they played (first set they played and that was a TB); it is the next 2 that might provide a threat.

Paire is 1-1 with Djokovic and beat him in Miami 15 months back last time they played. He has variety in his game and if he is on could pose a threat; RBA is 7-3 down career wise but has won the last 2 times in Miami and Doha in the past 12-18 months . Both times RBA lost the first set and came back to win. he could frustrate Djokovic if they play and tennis abstract makes it neck and neck between him and Raonic to get into the semifinal.

It would be interesting to see if RBA can do it and maybe give Djokovic a battle in the semis

Nah Novak is getting pass right to the final I think. Don't think anyone who has been knocked out would've given him any more of a match than those left in
Paire has a shocking h2h vs RBA (never won)

really intrigued by what Monday order of play would be:

JK v PK, Nadal maybe versus Dan, Fed v, Djokovic versus, Williams, Halep, Barty, some big names will be consigned to a lower court which I guess is what makes second Monday so special

 Got to fit in Querrey vs Sandgren too.

Sousa's a noisy bugger, isn't he?  As bad as Rafa, IMHO.  furious

Only 5 of the top 16 seeds left in as far as my counting goes - Assuming Fed gets through.

Wide open if it wasnt for the Big 3 still left in...
