Diego has 360 QF points 'banked' from last year so Cam's need was more!

Apparently Cam did a podcast with Soto Tennis yesterday. Towards the end of the podcast he forecast a 4 hour match today.

Quoted by the Beeb from Amazon Prime:

I'm pretty tired actually. The tennis and the level wasn't [sic] that great, but I had a good attitude throughout and I was happy with that. I'm lucky to get through that one. It was a tough one.

In the first couple of sets, there were so many second-serve returns when I had break points and I was getting frustrated. I managed to convert way more at the end. The first two sets I was rushing everything and going for too much. I was making way too many errors.

I thought I'd play and hit the ball down the middle for a couple of games and get some rhythm. I kept the momentum going and kept building. I backed myself physically. He was struggling a bit at the end. Schwartzman was getting upset at some of the British guys cheering. That helped a lot.

NB Think the US Open approach to the French players is a bit farcical - what's the point of bubbles if you don't enforce those bubbles when someone gets infected?
Isn't that the point of the bubble - to keep people in little groups and stop transfers?
So letting the bubble go mingle - what's that all about?
And, yes, I realise they are not really 'mingling' - there's new stricter protocols, they can't use the changing rooms, can't play doubles, I believe, can't go anywhere but on the court but......
Do they get physios if they need one? Or a doctor? Who then treats others? And they have to use bathrooms, even if not changing rooms. And balls....
I'm not paranoid about all this stuff - I think the chances of picking it up from a ball must be pretty tiny - but that's not the point - why bother with bubbles if you're not going to keep the bubble together when it goes wrong?

Vandenburg · Futures level

Not a surprise result, the dwarfman looked awful last week in the masters. People making out that this is the biggest surprise to the nation of Argentina since the Belgrano sinking or the Maradona drugs camera scream(what world cup was that??).

Cam plays Coria next, another Argentine and one he should expect to beat.

And then could play Hurkazc, again not a bad 3rd round. Cam could really get a chance her to make progress.

Belgrano 2.0?

indiana · Tennis legend

Zverev and Tsitsipas ( Cam's potential respective R4 and QF opponents

) are through to R2.

World Cup was in the USA in 94. He screamed into the camera after scoring against Greece on his International return to the Argentina squad. Four days later he tested positive for Ephedrine. He looked completely off his head, not for the last time I might add.

Err, and then a break to 15
