Not sure what the official reason is yet...
Exactly what I was thinking, it seems very likely that stef will beat djoker in the quarters to me.Looking like Stan Wawrinka's run to the AO title.
This.Looking like Stan Wawrinka's run to the AO title.
The merits of skipping a match altogether with a W/O in a slam usually dwarf any conceivable problems, so I would say this is huge for Tsitsipas. A gift.Not sure if it’s good or bad for Stef. Good he’s saved the energy he’ll need in later rounds but the risk is it might disturb his rhythm. Hopefully not.
Expected to spell his name right if you’re a fan of himI like Kholschreiber.
That's assuming Tsi can beat RBA in the 4th round. RBA isn't a great matchup for him... He barely scraped by the win against him here last year in a VERY tense match. RBA doesn't seem human to me -- he is a very strange player with ice in his veins - no discernible emotions and very hard to read on the court, plus is such an obstinate pusher. RBA has split the opening two sets with Mmoh so I'm rooting for Mmoh to pull out the upset. If Tsi has one or worse yet two exhausting match wins versus Raonic and/or RBA, today's walkover won't help much at all in the QF vs Djokovic. I think Tsi needs a bit more help. Hope he gets it. I'd love to see a Tsitsipas Federer semi!!Exactly what I was thinking, it seems very likely that stef will beat djoker in the quarters to me.
Well, some including myself were discussing how the walkover might affect his chances in later matches. I don't see that as irrelevant.What is this? In a thread of a w/o for Tsitsipas and all I read from many posters is that it is very likely that he will beat Djokovic in the QF. Weird. Thought I came to a thread of an impressive win for Tsitsipas instead.
Did I say I am a fan?Seems like w/oschreiber from a years ago is back

It can be a good warm up for his match with novak. Stef has improved mentally lately, if RBA and stef meet I will favor stef in 4. Of course anything can happen and stef wont make it that far, or novak will lose earlier.That's assuming Tsi can beat RBA in the 4th round. RBA isn't a great matchup for him...
