TCU Men's Tennis 2021-2022

[Longfrog]

Seems like college guys are everywhere. Nakashima, Brooksby (if he counts), Isner all won. Rinderknech up 2 sets to 1 vs Shapo.

Rinderknech couldn't finish off Shapo, but Nakashima just did. His second grand slam R3 in a row, as he won two matches at Roland Garros too. Gets Galan(?) next who won in a walkover.

No surprise as Gray falls to #11 seed Fritz in straight sets. Doubt he's ever faced someone of Fritz's caliber in a match that counted. Missed it live but just looking at the score, he seemed to have a few moments. He served for the 2nd set but ended up losing it in a tiebreaker. He was up a break early in the 3rd but lost it quickly.

He played really well until late in 3rd set. He honestly probably should have won sets 1 and 2. When the moments got big he faltered a few times... experience thing.

Brooksby doesn’t count. Did not play a single college match and took classes online from home. Not sure he even practiced with team.

Yeh agreed. His entire development was outside of college tennis. I'm even a little hesitant if a guy only plays a year at college.

As expected, the Murray & Raducanu losses clear the way for Norrie. He gets the prime time slot on center court tomorrow.

He's saying since Raducanu lost (thus she's out of the draw), Norrie moves up to the #1 most liked/known British player in the men's or women's draw, guaranteeing himself a nice center court spot.

 

[Longfrog]

Pretty ragged start to this one

Backhand is just straight garbage so far. I started at 2-2 and already 4 unforced on that side.

 

[Longfrog]

Johnson's come up with some serves right when he needs them. Norrie's missed a lot of easy groundstrokes. When he hasn't made bizarre mistakes, he's won every rally.

Yeh if he could just keep the ball in the court this set would already be over

 

[FrogUltimate]

Another bizarre miss on backhand side on set point. Wild

 

[FrogUltimate]

But he finishes it off with a really nice point. First set to Norrie.

 

[Longfrog]

Whew. That woulda stung if he'd somehow failed to win that set. Hopefully settles in now.

 

[FrogUltimate]

Norrie upped his game to a 'B' level and now up 5-1 in the 2nd set.

9 errors in set 1, 2 in set 2.

And he takes second set 6-1.

 

[FrogUltimate]

Norrie destroying him. 3-0 double break in the 3rd.

 

[Longfrog]

We've seen Norrie show some nerves at certain times in his career. This is good experience on this court in front of this crowd. Won't be the last time.

Definitely went from a C level in the 1st set, maybe C-, to a B in the 2nd set, and probably B+ here in the 3rd.
