Australian Open 2018

[sameerph]

Yes, 2 break point chances missed at 4-4, 40-15 by RamK. A couple of really makeable passing shots missed by RamK and then he was too defensive on his ground strokes.

[sameerph]

And from 30-0 up loses his serve to lose the first set 4-6.

[sameerph]

RamK gets the first break of the second set to lead 2-1. Needs to keep it up now.

[sameerph]

RamK held after a long service game for 4-2.

[PKBasu]

RamK up 5-3 in the second set. Time to close it out and take the momentum into the final set.

Who is RamRam's coach?
Why is he playing so far back in his return games?
He's scraping so many shots off the surface of the court as they drop, instead of hitting over the ball on the rise.
And he's running and lunging a lot more than I think he needs to.
He's quite aggressive with his court positioning in his own service games.
I wish he'd be just a tad more aggressive & offensive when Pospisil is serving.
Anyway he's hanging on to a break advantage at 5-4 in the second set.
Edit - Nice that RamRam closed out the second set - but he's still giving Pospisil too much time and space on this return games by playing way behind.
Looks like the Popsicle is melting, though, because he's had the physio come out at 2-1 on serve in the deciding set.

Where and how are you guys able to watch this??

And, by the way, Bernard Tomic is out -- as is Escobedo (who beat Yuki in a close Q3 match last year). Such are the ups and downs of sport...

I'm enjoying how the chair umpire from Ecuador is properly pronouncing Ramkumar's name!
