35 year-old Mannarino wins his third five-setter on the trot

And when asked about recovery, he says he relies on Tequilla !

And he's being deadly serious - he says it helps him relax and clears the mind and it's been a major part of his progress and success in the last couple of years

Well, he clearly doesn't have a clothing sponsor - but maybe a Tequila sponsor is on the cards


Talking about Mannarino, how's this for a drop volley.

Paul Jubbs college arch nemesis, Nuno Borges has just put out Gregor Dimitrov in a terrific 4 set battle. Paul defeated Nuno in the 2019 NCAA final

L32:  (19) Cameron Norrie WR 22 defeated (11) Casper Ruud (NOR) WR 11 by 6-4 6-7(5) 6-4 6-3  ban-woohoo.gif

There's nothing quite like savng it until you're on the big stage!  biggrin  The match to decide his opponent (Zverev or Michelsen) has STILL to get under way!

 Yes, only watched the last 30 mins of that match but super play - Nuno was so relaxed in his arm, so on the front foot --- and Grigor has a first serve that went AWOL just when he needed it most

Zverev has just beaten Michelsen relatively easily in three sets (6-2 7-6(4) 6-2), so:

L16:  (6) Alexander Zverev (GER) WR 6 (CH = 2 in June 2022) vs (19) Cameron Norrie WR 22

Two slightly differing perspectives of Cam's super win against Ruud:  the Beeb's & Stu Fraser's in today's Times - different sets of facts & figures used.

Norrie vs Zverev then. May the best man win.

So then Norrie would be into the QF!

Go, Cam Norrie 2.0. Keep on the front foot

I am all for due process and avoiding trial by social media, but the response of Zverev when asked if he should remain on the ATP Player Council was pathetic.

After a day to reflect got to say thats one of the best Ive seen cam play in terms of executing a game plan. Sore a stat when he won over 40 points at the net! Good on that man

Cam serving well banging in the aces and not giving Z a sniff of a break in the first set until 5 all when he blows it.

Cam battles and battles to force a break point in return but he can't convert it.

First set 7-5 Zverev.

Z raised his game when it mattered.

Talking to the press about his previous meetings with Z Cam admitted that the first set is usually close often a tie break but then he tends to 'fall away'.

I think let's hope that isn't a blueprint for the way this match is going to go as he is broken in the fifth game of set two.

Cam is having none of it as he breaks straight back for 3 all.

It's like that break back switched something on in Cam's mindset and he breaks Z again to look like taking his first ever set off Z. Come on Cam!

 Cam did actually beat Zerev in their first two meetings - way back when they were both teenagers in 2013 and 2014.
