[Sallydaisy]

Kyle Edmund gets a Direct Entry to the Paris Masters as a result of the withdrawal of Berdych and Kyrgios.
:GBflag:

If another 3 players withdraw from the main list then Aljaz Bedene will also get in.

[pabbers]

If another 3 players withdraw there'll be almost nobody left :lol:

[Sallydaisy]

:lol:

Kyle plays Pouille in the Vienna Semi-Final tomorrow.
Kyle plays Pouille in the Paris R1 probably on Tuesday!

[Sallydaisy]

PARIS DRAW
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DNKRQkHWAAI8s97.jpg

[Sallydaisy]

Federer has withdrawn from Paris, tweet from Simon Cambers and others.

[Alis]

Interesting - not a surprise but it does mean Fed isn't pulling out all the stops to be year end number one - probably sensible.

[pabbers]

Presume his #1 is secured?

[Alis]

Is it ? I hadn't realised that.

[Sallydaisy]

Presume his #1 is secured?
No. Rafa only needs to win his first round match to nail the y'end #1.
Source ATP media on Twitter.
"No. 2 @RogerFederer (https://mobile.twitter.com/rogerfederer) withdraws from #RolexPMasters (https://mobile.twitter.com/hashtag/RolexPMasters?src=hashtag_click), meaning @RafaelNadal (https://mobile.twitter.com/RafaelNadal) can clinch year-end No. 1 by winning his first match in Paris"

[Sallydaisy]

Paris draw rejigged, Kyle now plays Donskoy in R1 instead of Pouille.

[roytennisfan]

Andy now showing #15 and Nole #10 in live after losing thier Paris & ATP finals points. There's going to be a lot of NCHs next week.

[JerryD]

Sad so see Simon lose to chardy today, it's been such a tough year for him. All the way down at 74 today. Edmund is first up tomorrow against donskoy

[RoastLamb]

DARN!!! I picked Fed to win in FTM.

[ljs]

Oh Denis , loses to Benneteau , what has happened to you :(

[themass15]

Denis hasn't hit the heights since the US Open; maybe next year

[RoastLamb]

Oh Denis , loses to Benneteau , what has happened to you :(

He's done HORRIBLY in the indoor hc season. Just awful. Not sure why as he trained as a youngster on indoor hard.

[Sallydaisy]

Just seen tomorrow's OOP!!!
Can't believe they've put Potty down on Court 1, that's insane!
How do I fit in so many great matches???

For those who've never been ...
You only buy tickets for the Centre Court but they are also valid in the 2 school halls that are called Courts 1&2 with seating on a first come basis.

[COLOR=#333333]

I remember they did that to Andy one year and then apologised for it. I seem to remember it was against James Blake but I may have that wrong.

[cazza99]

oop for Wednesday - http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/scores/current/paris/352/daily-schedule

[JerryD]

Surprised to see hasse get the better of zverev, it was 3 sets but didn't seem close. 3-6 6-2 6-2 zverev can now rest up a little for the WTF though :)

[tennis890]

Well done Delpo :dance:

[karanga]

Surprised to see hasse get the better of zverev, it was 3 sets but didn't seem close. 3-6 6-2 6-2 zverev can now rest up a little for the WTF though :)

Think the Paris Masters was one tournament too many for young Sascha. He looked exhausted. Hope he will rest now and be ready for the challenge of London.

[JerryD]

So happy for delpo with his win over Sousa but I wish pouille could have added to the joy by losing to Lopez. Hopefully Lopez will be on form next year and come back up in the rankings. Versasco and isner also through today )

[Sallydaisy]

Verdasco is playing vintage Verdasco, the match v Anderson was something else!!!!

[Sallydaisy]

Think the Paris Masters was one tournament too many for young Sascha. He looked exhausted. Hope he will rest now and be ready for the challenge of London.
Sasha looked as though he only had London on his mind, which is not to say I thought he was tanking it.
:whistle:

Haase plays with considerable flair and outplayed Zverev throughout the match, he absolutely deserved the win. Sasha played boring baseline tennis, poorly at that. Frankly I was disappointed and wondered what all the fuss was about.

[Sallydaisy]

Surprised to see hasse get the better of zverev, it was 3 sets but didn't seem close. 3-6 6-2 6-2 zverev can now rest up a little for the WTF though :)
Well, yeah, so he can.
:rolleyes:

[Sallydaisy]

Isner wins 7'6(10), 5'7, 7'6(3).

Benneteau now leads Goffin 6'3 and 3'0!

[JerryD]

It's a surprising day! Didn't see isner taking that one. Head to head between delpotro and isner is 6-2 but that doesn't fill me with confidence for tomorrow's match. Especially not with the way today's matches went :(

[Sallydaisy]

Am tennis'd out today.

Fran (Del Potro) v Haase was a bit lacklustre, end of the first set it looked as though neither of them wanted to win it with advantage being traded for what seemed like an age. It was rather a case of "after you Claude; no, after you Cecil!". The 2nd set wasn't much better with both in horizontal mode. I came to with a start when the umpire called Fran the winner.

Verdasco v Thiem was much more lively especially since the Spaniard es 'en fuego' this year and seemingly on a mission to teach the 'youngsters' how to play tennis out with the baseline. I think he's also keen to impress the rather fetching lady sitting court side who is cheering him on.

Big John played his usual game; unfortunately Dimi wasn't reading the Isner serve very well.

I really wanted to go down to Court 1 for the Goffin match but there's been not less than 100 queueing since 2.30pm on account of first Mahut then Benneteau playing down there this afternoon.

[Sallydaisy]

Benneteau wins 6'3, 6'3.
Bercy with some interesting results as always!

[Sallydaisy]

Sock was serving for the first set at 5'4 but was broken by Pouille who then held his serve for 6'5. Sock must hold to force a tie-break, bet the French in Centre Court are going nuts!

And into a breaker we go!

[JerryD]

First set to sock in a tie break that was full of errors. Come on sock! One more set!

[Sallydaisy]

Sock takes the first set 7'6 over Pouille.

[JerryD]

Yikes only 27% 2nd serve points won from sock in that set, which he only just won. Hopefully he can up that in this one.

[Sallydaisy]

Sock was 3'1 but now 3'3 in the 2nd set.

[Sallydaisy]

Sock wins 7'6, 6'3, ending Pouille's chances of making it to London???
Or making the calculations even more complicated.

[JerryD]

Happy with that win for sock though more for goffin than for sock. Lol. Not a great match for either. Jack said he was feeling better than yesterday coming from the brink of defeat. He felt today's match was cleaner. He could still make London if he wins the title and other contenders lose out. Maybe get to USA no 1. Don't fancy his chances of winning this tournie though.

[Sallydaisy]

1 set all, Rafa 6'3, 6'7(5).

[Sallydaisy]

Rafa had the trainer on at the end of the 2nd set, right knee issue which is still causing some problems although he is serving at 3'1 up in the 3rd. Broken, Cuevas serving at 2'3.

[Guerkins2]

Hope you’re having a good time, Sally!

[Sallydaisy]

Hope you’re having a good time, Sally!
:thumbup:

Rafa won.

It's very late for Cilic v Bautista-Agut to start!

[JerryD]

Hope this knee issue calms down though I guess he may have an easier time of it against the qualifier. Delpo v isner first up tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Given up on BA V Cilic opting for easier watching before bed. It's on serve at 4-3 in the first right now.

[Linda]

Verdasco v Thiem was much more lively especially since the Spaniard es 'en fuego' this year and seemingly on a mission to teach the 'youngsters' how to play tennis out with the baseline. I think he's also keen to impress the rather fetching lady sitting court side who is cheering him on.

They are getting married on 8th December :love:

[Sallydaisy]

Rafa is out of the Paris Masters, knee issues.
Source is tweeted report from Carole Bouchard ref impromptu presser called by Rafa.

[hfwardhouse]

Aw :crying:

[Sallydaisy]

BUT they've moved Jamie's match up to Centre which is good news as it would have been a scrum getting into Court 1 for it given they're playing a French pair! I

[tennis890]

Isner takes the first set

[themass15]

Boo hiss boo

[Jane]

4-4 in second set tb

[Jane]

One set all:boogie:

[tennis890]

Woohooo Come on Delpo!! :cheer:

[tennis890]

Not looking good for Delpo

[Jane]

Isner won :sad:

[themass15]

:crying::crying:

[tennis890]

booo such a shame :crying::crying:

[Teresa]

That’s a shame. Does that mean he can’t qualify for London?

[Sallydaisy]

Adieu Paris!

[JAMES4578]

Realised it put this on wrong thread late last night so deleted and copied over:

Paris living up to its unpredictability, whilst not Rafa's greatest fan bit of a blow he had to pull out and then Isner got better of Del Petro and Juan Martin says not interested in being alternate, Benny putting out Cilic and Sock overcame verdasco in the end. Hope you had great time Sally!

[themass15]

Come on Krajinovic!

[karanga]

Come on Filip. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

[clancy]

Krajinovic takes it! Hope Benneteau can do the same to Sock!

[themass15]

Result!

[lynne]

Very Impressive, brilliant play from the young man :thumbup::thumbup:



Now Benneteau it would be great for you to get to the final:thumbup: .... plus I really don't want an arrogant Sock to win... just my thoughts folks!!!

[karanga]

Yay!!! Well done Filip - brilliant stuff. :clap:

[karanga]

Very Impressive, brilliant play from the young man :thumbup::thumbup:



Now Benneteau it would be great for you to get to the final:thumbup: .... plus I really don't want an arrogant Sock to win... just my thoughts folks!!!

Yes now Go Benneteau and let's see an unheralded final. :yahoo:

I don't care for Sock either - just saying. :laugh:

[clancy]

The Serb played very well and has earned himself a barrowful of cash this week (thanks Rafa for the helping hand and get well soon). Whilst not my favourite Frenchman, I would like Benneteau to win a title before his retirement but certainly don't want Sock to go all the way.

[JAMES4578]

It became quite a battle and most impressed with Krajinovic, thought tide might turn after the 2nd. Certainly would prefer Benny to win too!

[Linda]

Allez Benny! :swingin:

[Alis]

Not looking good for Benny at the moment.

[lynne]

:sad::sad:



COME ON FILIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

[themass15]

Agreed!

[lynne]

Good Luck Filip!!!!

[karanga]

Go for it Filip. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Good to hear that Novak has tweeted encouragement.

[themass15]

Come on Filip!

[Sallydaisy]

First set to Filip 7'5 but Sock is ahead 4'1 in the 2nd set.

[Sallydaisy]

2nd set to Sock 6'4, Filip broke back to reach 3-4 but couldn't break again.
All down to the 3rd set.

[Sallydaisy]

Filip faltering ... lost serve in the 3rd game to go 1-2, and again in the 5th to go 1-4.
Sock held his service games so the Serb is now serving at *1-5 to stay in the match.
:sad:

[Sallydaisy]

Sock wins his first Masters 5'7, 6'4, 6'1.
Jumps from #24 to #9 and secures 8th place at the Tour Finals in London.

[karanga]

:crying:

[JAMES4578]

Fairly interesting contest for 2 sets but Sock ran away with it in the end, pity Krajinovic didn't have enough left though the American was strong in the decider to clinch place at O2.

[Alis]

I wonder if Kyle was watching and what he was thinking if he was.

[themass15]

Could have been me?

[ljs]

Happy for Jack , I like him , he played well 2nd and 3rd set & in the WTF :shocked:
