Mind you, I'm sure Zverev will win a slam eventually, as the field thins out. Only 4 of the top 25 players in the current ATP rankings are under 25. The average age of the top 25 men in the current *live* rankings (quicker to compute than for the current official top 25 as the live ranking site has the age data) is a quite extraordinary 28.9 years. (That's a decimal fraction, not a number of months, after the point.) [Edit: 12 of those 25 men - again, the live rankings list - are 30 or over.]

Heart says Halep or Svitolina and Nadal. Head says Kerber and Dmitrov.
Cool choice of black Nike by Svitolina.
The Kontaveit - Suarez Navarro match was interesting. Overwhelming physical dominance against overwhelming mental strength. Brains won over brawn, just. But one of those games which makes women's tennis just as interesting as the men's.

Woohoo! Simona breezes through.
I'm a bit worried about Janik. It's not like him to be absent for so long during a grand slam tournament, though I now see that he did pop in for a short post yesterday morning. Hope all is OK Janik and it was just a busy weekend.

Sandgren goes through, and the other match looks very tight. In the first set Chung raced out to a 4-0 lead before being broken back twice by Djokovic , and then winning the tie break. The second set he led 4-1 before Djokovic broke back and now it looks like we're heading for another tie break

Just turned this on and watched a brilliant pressure hold by Chung. Who the hell is this kid? Looks to have everything.
Poor old Djok sounds like he's in agony on every shot. I wish he wouldn't do that splits thing. It makes me worry for him.

Sandgren, Chung and Edmund in the Slam QF draw, though, eh? Well, everyone said it was the most open Men's draw for years...Last edited by Janik; 22-01-2018, 15:53.

Mr Sandgren sounds as if he may be a bit of an "interesting" character:
