Good match. And they got McEnroe calling the play by play which is a bonus.

shelton has a massive serve

I was thinking the same thing.

Sonego is good but I think Shelton’s serve will be the difference.

Shelton hit one 142 miles an hour.

shelton is good on clay, even coming up to volly.

I wasn’t sure who might be a darkhorse in this tournment.

Maybe Shelton?

I like Draper as a Darkhorse. But I don’t have anybody else in mind that could potentially beat Sinner and Alcaraz.

i picked carlos
hate to say but iga for the ladies
my darkhorse is andreeva
might have to agree with you on draper.

Hard to pick against Carlos.

Or Iga for that matter. She’s struggled lately but this is her best tournament.

would like to see novak, carlos final but novak would have to get through Sinner.

Yeah, I’m not really sure how Novak is going to beat Sinner.

Good interview with Ben’s dad. Seems like a good guy.

Stats also show Ben hit a serve 149.8 miles per hour. That’s crazy.

Of course, just as I talk up Ben’s serve he double faults to get broken.

Ben’s good I just don’t know if he’s a complete enough player.

He relies on his athleticism and power but pushers can neutralize and frustrate him.

I think he needs to add in more drop shots and volleying to really get to that next level.

damm, thats fast
some nice volley play there.

sonego now volleying, i like that.

Good touch shot there by Shelton.

McEnroe just mentioned he uses a western grip, which might be why he doesn’t hit more drop shots.

Using a western grip makes that shot a little hard to pull off regularly.

i heard him talking about the grips, i should do some more reading on the different grips

soneco takes the lead

He’s in a good position for the upset.

shelton comes back

Good win for Shelton. Not an easy first round opponent.

i actually thought soneco would take it
