I'm not a great tennis watcher but I don't mind a close game ... or a one-sided game when one of the young Aussies is doing well and it was great to see Ash Barty win again after her brief flirtation with cricket. She seems to have settled down to life as a tennis professional.
One thing that struck me about Bernard Tomic's game tonight was that his opponent, Victor Estrella Burgos, had run one kilometre more than Bernard before they got to the fourth set tiebreaker. That's an incredible difference for a game played on a small court. Tomic seems to be a master at conserving energy.
Not worth commenting on Kyrgios.
Tomic? Grossly unfit, laughable. 70 unforced errors......that's Stosuresque!!
Who coaches him/. All he needed to do was attack that guy's backhand, open up the court and it would have been all over in 75 minutes.
Both these guys are very problematic, albeit talented.
Did anyone watch the fast 40 thing the other week - Tomic was playing Thiem. Tomic was stuffed after two games! (albeit he won that particular match)
Finals, then 4 in a row!
