    he nearly gave break point away.



    Awesome effort from Jack. He has a Roddick type game and is a lefty so
    a bonus, should always be dangerous on grass. Don't think it will
    hinder Carlos' Wimbledon prospects, he's the type of player who doesn't
    need much tuning up to play his best - big match player who can really
    bring it.

    It was a great victory to be sure, but the joy
    did not last for long. Tommy Paul was better
    and later won the whole Queen's Club ATP500
    tournament.

    I guess Djoker missed all the warm-up
    tournaments. Is he injured or is he planning
    to enter Wimbledon without any contest
    preparations on grass?

    About half a year ago I was sure that Djoker
    will win more than one GS tournament.

    Now I am beginning to have some doubts. Maybe
    the younger generation has finally taken over
    and Djoker will never win another GS...

    Read today a story which said that Djoke was practising at SW19 and felt
    good. So apparently playing.
