Death. Taxes. @TommyPaul1 vs Spaniards 🤷♂️ ARV Verdasco Alcaraz Zapata Miralles Landaluce Alvarez Varona RBA Nadal PCB Davidovich Fokina RBA Davidovich Fokina 🆕 The American moves to 12-0 versus 🇪🇸 in his last 12 matches, d. Foki 6-3 7-5 at #MiamiOpen! Next could be Alcaraz…
Tommy Paul faced a rather uninspired Alejandro Davidovich Fokina who never quite found his rhytm in this one losing in straight sets 3-6 5-7.
Paul has been playing well all week long and serving well which is important. The American showcased that today as well hitting 8 aces and committing only one double fault. That serve was particularly useful at times during the match even though he did drop his serve quite a few times in the match.
Paul took the first lead in the match with a break for 4-2 but he then got broke in the very next game to give the Spaniard a chance. He looked comfortable with a 40-0 advantage in the next game. It proved the crucial game in the first set as Fokina lost that game and gave Paul a 5-3 lead which he converted into a 6-3 opening set win.
The second set opened with an early break for Paul 2-0 as the match looked over. It was pretty much with Fokina struggling to find a rhythm but Paul gave him another chance with a horrid game where he lost his serve and make it possible for Fokina to take a 4-3 lead. The Spaniard looked good for a few games but eventually, he lost the plot again by giving away another service game.
Paul saved a break point in the final game and held for a 7-5 win. Too many errors from Fokina (26) compared to Paul (7).

- Williams' PR person (or people) is feeding all this crap to suckers online who will publish it... and read it. Although I got a chuckle when I read the lie about her having a "grapefruit" sized cyst in her neck. Somebody might want to find out where she's buying her fruit and tell the owner to stop telling her wine grapes are not Grapefruits!!

Let 'em have it. Of course, the best protection is to spend little or no time on anti-Social Media.mandoist21-10-2024
- I think opinions about tennis are interesting. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I do not. I have more problems with articles about Serena Williams going to a party or Federer visiting a football match 😀
AceOfBase19-10-2024 - You (Tennis Update) keep posting bits from Stubbs every time she has a brainfart... but you fail to tell us why we should care; or even why her opinion is relevant?mandoist17-10-2024
