To the lone person who picked De Minaur today -- Well done!
Thanks! Was actually surprised I was the only Demon picker given that clay is Medvedev's worst surface. Feels good nonetheless!meganfernandez wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2024 2:40 pmAlvinlimtc, take a bow.hoangers wrote:meganfernandez wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2024 12:23 pm Day 9 Summary

So easy to get comfortable with a set lead... imagine getting on the plane with Djokovic up 6-1 on Cerundolo and landing with Cerundolo at one set all and 4-1 in the third.jazzyg wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2024 3:03 pm I wasn't worried at all about de Minaur beating Medvedev, but I should have been after the way he took apart Struff in the previous round. Struff was playing incredibly well on the clay swing and I expected him to beat de Minaur, who seems to have turned a corner in slams. It took hellacious hitting by Rublev in the fourth and fifth sets to beat him in Melbourne.
Still stinks to take off on a plane with Medvedev having won the first set and then checking the score when we landed and seeing de MInaur was up two sets to one with 4-3 and a break lead in the fourth. Did a double take.
I can imagine... the joy.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2024 4:27 pm ...

That's almost exactly what happened in the second leg of my trip. Portland to Denver was the Medvedev match. Djokovic was on serve in the second set when my flight took off from Denver to New Orleans and when it landed he was facing break point deep in the fourth set down two sets to one. Except I had a feeling Cerundulo might make it tough. He has missed break points early in the second set, was holding serve easily and had gotten stronger as his earlier matches went on.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2024 4:27 pm
