  1. Sascha Second set hiccup I can forgive, but these marathons are not necessary. Luckily there is one day off, but match against Simon (most likely) will be new hell...
  2. Disappointed with Khachanov! Had match points in both sets, second and third and succeeded to waste them. Good week, but could have been excellent,
  3. Zverev's backhand Solid first set from Zverev! One more
  4. Time to revenge Milojevic I think Krstin has decent chance for the title.
  5. Well, I sensed Allertova could surprise but didn't believe it... Very good, solid performance. I really like the way she plays. Muguruza is sinking Zhang-Wozniacki was screaming upset, so did Gasparyan-Vinci. I am really sorry Rita chocked 4-0 lead and missed two match points. I like her backhand a lot! Vinci had moments of pure brilliance though, definitely deserved win. There were more than five matches where one of the players saved match points and won eventually, I reckon. On the one hand, I am glad Ivanovic won, but on the other, I couldn't regret more for Tiafoe. If I could, I'll change Ivanovic's win for Tiafoe... However, surprisingly good effort from Tiafoe. Match wasn't of particular quality, but the tension was palpable. Frances is enjoyable to watch, but his physical stamina is worrying at the moment. Serve let him down in the deciding set. Kuznetsov continues with steady progress, that is great to see. Won't comment Kyrgios, his attitude. No surprise from Ramos anymore, after Federer, he "schooled" two youngsters in a row now I like Gavrilova as a player. Many consider her annoying, but she is amusing to me. Fun, with not so common display. But unfortunately, her mentality isn't the factor one can count on. Again losing her strings after finding herself in winning position. Stephens in 10-0 at International events this year and 0-2 at any higher grade WTA tournament Bouchard is coming back, slowly but surely.
  6. Well, I would like to believe everyone you mentioned will live up to own potential. I am particularly fond of Rublev, Zverev and Tiafoe. It is still early and apparently they have different paths of development. Some will mature lately, especially mentally. Kozlov had series of injuries if I remember well, I guess that is one of the reasons he slowed down in his progress. Glad to see Zverev won the match! It may not be important, and especially won't be important once they start to develop more and play regularly ATP World Tour events, but it can show something. And at this point of their careers, they are more like to junior-themselves than they'll be once in the future. However, I believe Fritz would have won if he had played Memphis-like level. Tiafoe has so much raw potential. If he continues to improve properly, he'll be amazing player.
  7. Monteiro finally exploded. Last few weeks have been pretty good. Milojevic disappointed in third set. His serve is awful. Great set for Danka, but I really hope Petra can win this. If Danka had Kvitova's serve Petra would be out already
  8. Jesus, Ymer lost to Middelkoop Since Caltanisetta title last year, his results are really up and down with no some outstanding flash... I guess we'll need to wait for clay season. Curiously, his younger brother Mikael is much better on hard and fast courts.
  9. Well, Tiafoe has already had positive H2H with Fritz, I think it is 2-0 or 3-0 at junior level. Fritz apparently was under pressure as favourite for the win, big stage... he was rushing on many balls. First two sets were identical, with losers of them committing many errors, low serve percentage. But nevertheless, there were some great flashes from both. Zverev definitely has tough task, and he'll need to step up in order to win. The race is not over, though I am afraid Lisicki will definitely miss Rio. Upcoming period of year is not the one Sabine fancies the most.
  10. Tiafoe First win over future big rival, hopefully. Some brilliant points, many errors, but overall so refreshing!
  11. Krstin is playing pretty good lately. And Milojevic i surprising with results
  12. Even at my university know, my research group will try to synthesize it in lab... it has simple structure though.
  13. Khachanov is excellent indoor player! Really good one, I definitely would pick him over Krajinovic. I actually think this wasn't smart move, I reckon he had the ranking to play IW qualifications...
  14. Yeah, would like to see that one.
  15. Great come back from Djere in first set, from 3-5 to 7-5! That point on 4-5, 0-30 on Jaziri serve was crucial, great forehand passing shot. One set more, Laslo Peng looks rusty...
  16. Wow, I just checked and am already amazed with Miami wildcard choices! Men's Singles: Kyle Edmund, Andrey Rublev, Elias Ymer and Nicolas Jarry Women's Singles: Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Heather Watson, Naomi Osaka, Paula Badosa Gibert, Beatriz Haddad Maia, Laura Robson and Sofya Zhuk!!!
  17. Marcelo Arevalo one win away from main draw! After the win over Soeda, Polansky looks like easier opponent. Hopefully Paul, Rublev and Rubin will join to 1996-1998 armada already in the main draw.
  18. Tiafoe vs Fritz in first round! Tiafoe could get much easier opponent though. Chung vs Ramos, and if he wins, faces Kyrgios in second. Possible Kyrgios vs. Murray in fourth round already! Delpo vs Berdych in 2nd round.... I like men's singles draw in general.
  19. Leaving all the drama around Sharapova, Indian Wells women's singles draw is out: http://www.wtatennis.com/SEWTATour-Archive/posting/2016/609/MDS.pdf Bottom half is weaker. Men's singles qualifying draw: http://www.protennislive.com/posting/2016/404/qs.pdf Tough draw for Tommy Paul, tricky one for Rublev too.
  20. It is not on the list of approved drug products (neither under these names: Mildronate, THP, MET-88, Mildronāts or Quaterine) http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.SearchResults_Browse&StartRow=201&StepSize=100 And here is one of the articles I read: http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2016/03/sharapova-says-she-failed-drug-test-penalty-unknown/57819/#.Vt7PS9J97IV
  21. Wow, I am so late on this topic. But the news are definitely good, I am glad they got opportunity to participate. Thanks
  22. My bad, not prohibited but not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the USA.
  23. I read that Kenya withdrew too http://citizentv.co.ke/sports/malkia-withdraw-from-world-olympics-qualifiers-115926/
  24. Weird thing as, among many others, if she really needed a drug for supposed decease, why she was prescribed a drug prohibited in USA? She has been living in there for years...
  25. Found this interesting article http://roidvisor.com/performance-enhancing-drugs-used-by-elite-athletes-that-are-surprisingly-legal/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25847280
