Jack Sock vs Tipsy , match on - you can follow me here at https://www.606v2.com/t47562-jack-sock-up-next-get-ready-folks

Boy Oh boy, those who missing this match is missing something special, Sock's forehand is next only to Del Po in terms of power and next only to Fed in terms of Skill and Next only to Rafa in terms of Precision.

Sock rules, leading 3-2 with a break in the 1st set

Fingers crossed for Dan Evans later tonight!

Nadal takes the first set 6-4 against Ivan Dodig. The Croat hasn't done a lot wrong but finds himself with an even steeper mountain to climb now. Rafa looking business-like.

first set Nadal... Dodig is putting up some fight at least

Well the way is open for him as he is in Ferrer's quarter. Will he have a better chance of reaching the semis?

First Set Sock, Kingraf while you enjoy the might Rafa, I am enjoying the next big star in Sock, he wins 1st set 6-3 with double break of serve against Tipsy, Sock you rule  

Dodig won't go down without a fight , he is a strong mental character, I am pretty sure he gonna snatch a set from no where.

For the talent he got, he should make the finals easy, just watch the match and you will be ashamed that he is not in top 10 given these many weapons.

Jack Sock match with up to date commentry by your IC here - https://www.606v2.com/t47562-jack-sock-up-next-get-ready-folks

I'll stick with the Rafa match as yet to have a really close look at him in this tournie.

IC - Not sold on Sock being the next star. Already 21, and he has played all of 40 tour level matches. He may make inroads into the top 20, top 10, but I dont have high hopes for him being a star. Huge forehand though!

Nadal hasnt lost a set, or a service game currently... Dont see Dodig changing either statline.

Huge Serve, Huge Forehand, Huge Backhands, Huge Returns, Great Movements, Great Varieties including drop shots and volleys, Boy oh Boy he is double better than most in the top 10, he just doesn't bring this game outside USO, he is not taking his game serious outside USO at the moment, hope he takes the game serious and find a a great mentor like Uncle Toni to harness his skills, if he does, he for sure will be the next big super star.

In simple terms Sock is another Gulbis.

Jim Courier on Sidelines is proud of the way Sock is playing, I hope he passed his tips on how to get to the top of the pack.

Come on Sock make us proud, in my view he is the best available young talent ahead of Dimitrov and Tomic. 

Sock leads 2nd set 2-1, Tipsy to serve.

Ana would walk the Lovely Girls contest. Walk it.

Nadal breaks early in the second set and now leads 6-4 3-1. Isner and Kohlschreiber about to get under way on Louis Armstrong and after that match it will be Evans V Robredo.

Isner Kohli is to be a cracker I suspect. If Phillip can return with any parity, I suspect that he will spark Isner.

Ana would of course walk anything.... Even like Rihanna

I reckon I may be the only poster here who rates Isner. Great serve, decent forehand, has improved his movement and volleys aren't too shabby.

Bites bullets by paying back with bullets of forehands, saves 3 break points, to go up 3-2 in the 2nd set, Jack the Sock it . 

Raonic through to the Fourth Round beating Feliciano Lopez. Judy will be heartbroken.

Isner is my dark horse for this tournament, his 4th round match against Rafa would be mouth watering if happens.

Tipsy calls for medical time out, boy oh boy, Sock is in huge form and this happens. , medical time outs in the mid of the set is a crime.

So much skill in display for 1 given match, Tipsy rocks with huge serve forehand combo to equalize 2nd set 3-3.

Sock takes lead to go 4-3 , 2nd set.

Raonic hit 49 winners, 28 Aces today. Im backing him to make the semi's.

Nadal saves a break point to hold and looks secure at 6-4 4-2 but Dodig hanging in there. Just signs that Rafa's levels have dropped.

I sometimes I really wonder if you watch the same sport as the rest of us.

Well Tipsy did call for Medical time out but it didn't last longer, some confusion there, anyways Tipsy steps in and tough road ahead for Sock.

Onto your original question, no, I am watching Tennis, no idea what you watching. 

Rafa cruising. The courts look really slow this year.

Dodig is hampered by some sort of injury - not that I think it'd make much difference.

That made me genuinely LOL

Dodig is broken again and Rafa takes the set to lead 6-4 6-3 after an hour and twenty five minutes.

Emanci - I suspect its the balls, they seem pretty fluffy, for lack of better wording. It just takes an eternity to get to the other side

A 2nd serve Ace followed by an Ace to go 6-5 in the 2nd Set.

Reading twitter, and I must say, tennis is probably second only to Boxing refarding the chasm in knowledge between casuals and die-hards

Well one need to enjoy the sport doesn't have to take a degree to watch it .

Kohli up a break... Pretty much means he has the first set, barring an incredibly loose service game

Lets put in your terms, you are a die-hard follower and a I am casual follower, so what exactly have you done special to the sport which i haven't? other than making up those poo statements? 

Tipsy Schools Sock in the tiebreaker to go 5-1 up. 

Mate, you may just have the greatest ego I have ever seen... Its slightly funny, but generally irritating to see someone feel every comment written on the net is a subtle dig at them. You honestly need to be incredibly self-arbsorbed, or thick to manage that

Only a dumb will think that wasn't a indirect dig at me,  , regarding ego yes I have hell lot of them, so you better not provoke it, if so I will give it back dude, regarding managing it I do i my way I don't need your dumb methodology to curb it, I am basically commenting on my games and having fun with it and wasn't poking at you, you poked your nose needlessly and rightfully getting it back. 

On your ideas and dig, you know the two words you deserve.

Rather than advising me on a public forum, why not advice yourself to control your motions and not drag needless fights?

Or how about you sign on to twitter and actually look up said casuals? No time in my life to take digs at amoebas

Back to the tennis....

Kohlschreiber takes the first set against Isner. I have a feeling that could be a long match though.

kingraf wrote:Or how about you sign on to twitter and actually look up said casuals? No time in my life to take digs at amoebas

Thats why you taking a dig at me coz I am not amoebas, between did my argument hurt your a pretty badly?

Only dumbs take watching the game as die hard and casuals, otherwise what exactly is the difference die hard followers brought to the game that casual followers didn't? finally its better to be a casual follower and enjoy the sport than being a mind less egoistic die hard fan.

Why should I sign in to twitter to look for casuals? unless you meant the word in Spanish.

Nadal breaks... Thats pretty much all she wrote

If you trying to make some jokes, let me know in advance so I will try to laugh irrespective of whatever you meant coz your sense of humor seems to be at the lowest level.

I thought you make serious argument, didn't know you made no sense at it and was just trying to joke, in that case my mistake.  

I hope Kohlschrieber wins. His Tennis is great to watch as opposed to the mind-numbingly boring 'hit and hope' of Isner

well, for one a die-hard doesnt say
@MayorWillibi
Nah bro, we can't go by those stats. Nadal has more than Djokovic. Doesnt make him better

or

Really not that hard to look up what Im talking about...

Yea Gotcha, you made some boring jokes and I fail to laugh for it, will try next time.

A Die hard fan for an individual sport is real stupid that he can't take the sport as just a sport.
Only failure in life think everything his/hero achieves belongs to him, most die hard fans belong to that category.

Fed or Nadal for that sake would want all their fans to leave the emotions on the court and focus on their individual life rather than chasing them what they do on washrooms and bed rooms.

Casuals are people who only watch the sport when a certain event/ player comes on... Neither is better. But there is obviously a gap in knowledge because of that. I really assumed that was apparent. Not exactly taking rockets to the scientists, is it? Youre here year-round, Dont know why you think Im referring to you, unless you are a) Looking for an argument (on a Saturday no less), or b) incredibly thick. Because I think you have a trilple-digit IQ, Im going with A.
