Re: R2: Tomic def. Herbert: 7:6, 6:4, 7:6

Despite suffering heatstroke, Bernard got this done in straights.

2/7

 

[Young 8]

Herbert with a brainfart up *4-2 in the 3rd set TB.

Nice win for Tomic. Good luck in next round, will be tough but give Novak as much as you got.

Herbert with a brainfart up *4-2 in the 3rd set TB.

a few of them were a good passing shots by the aussie

 

[philosophicalarf]

His returning needs a bit of work, but decent composure to get it done in straights (esp serving out the 2nd when he was really bothered). Might have been outlasted in 5 if he dropped a set.

Herbert is an interesting prospect. Great serve, nice touch.

As match went on though his return was very poor. Strokes were quite erratic at times. Tomic always looked more solid in the rallies, but probably lucky to win it in straights.

"... didn't have enough sleep the past couple of nights..." Classic Nard

Well done, Bernie This is end of the road tho :tears:

Well through to the 3rd round, but Gumby should easily dispatch Bernard. :awww:

It's hard to be a prospect when he is 23 years old. Moreover, not with this ground game, not in this era, sadly. He is successful in doubles though due bolded reasons.

 

[Medina]

Loved those passing shots in the 3rd set TB.

Now on to r3 Bee, go give Djokovic all you got

 

[Kateoz]

But will he turn up for r3 or will another mysterious illness/injury strike?

 

[Hypnotize]

Good win for Tomic considering he lost to Herbert last year. I'm a little surprised the heat bothered him so much as I thought an Australian would be used to far worse temperatures than we have here. Hopefully he's okay for his next match.

well, he's not australian to begin with...

 

[Agrajag]

You are right, he is not an aboriginee.

Still one would think growing up in Gold Coast would make him prepared for playing in the heat.

 

[Jovard]

Another peasant sent packing. Bernie will send Djokovic back to Serbia next.

 

[Wi$$ard]

Djokovic already shitting his uniqlo pants :aww:
