The G.O.A.T.
Murray won in straight sets also; I think they'll be playing Wednesday now.
What a great first year for Blaz, wins in both the French Open & Wimbledon already! He's really going to keep rising in the rankings.

It is a 8 AM start time but will be on Court One and also on ESPN I believe.

Well, not the best of days for Blaz and I think it was in his head before the match even started.
6-1, 6-1, 6-0 - Murray

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
I guess it is no disgrace and won't hurt his ranking to get beat by the ATP #5 player; on the much brighter side he did earn £43,000 (i.e. > $73,000), not a bad payday.

I forgot Blaz had a win at the Aussie too this year - he's won at every major so far and I expect the same at the US!

Yeah, Blaz jumped 11 spots with his Wimbledon advancement. He's making huge strides in the rankings this year; finish strong and get him to approach the Top 50 and it's about as good a first full year he could expect.

Chase Buchanan won his qualifying draw to earn entrance into the main draw of the western and southern tournament in Cincinnati,
Blaz Rola also received a lucky loser entry into the main draw.
Impressive OSU representation among the elite level players in the ATP.

The G.O.A.T.
Looks like Chase lost a tough 3 setter; took the first then lost the last two in tiebreaks

Still, an over 11K payday is huge at his stage.

And a tough ending for Rola; just like Chase, he lost in 3 sets after winning the first.

Rola lost a tough 3 setter, dropped a tie break in the 3rd to an unseeded Benneteau.
Benneteau has since advanced to the semifinals, including yesterdays win over #3 seed Stan Wawrinka.
So in a positive perspective for Rola, Benneteau has lost 2 sets in the tournament, one to Wawrinka, the other to Blaz.
