The bouncing between the legs in the pre-serve routine has to go, but it probably won't, and the backwards baseball cap speaks of a sloppiness. A lack of attention to detail. Details such as coming to each and every match with a game plan...some tactics and thoughtfulness. So far he is all muscle. A muscle head. His nemesis was yet another left-handed player...Prajnesh Gunneswaran from India. Prainesh never bounced the ball in his pre-serve routine. A stunning tactic in itself. In todays modern game of tennis some players, not mentioning any names, take forever to put the damn ball in play. The left handed advantage cuts both ways when it is two lefties out there. It isn't pretty sometimes but it's unpredictable. Particularly so on the lawn.
So Roger is out ahead of the field as he awaits the opponent of the next round...the winner of Guido Pella and Prajnesh Gunneswaran. Then it is anybodies guess in the semis. Is Nick Kyrgios in the house? You never know about Nick. His name is in the draw but is his head and heart elsewhere.
