    Thoughts on Carreno Busta versus Coric?
    PCB seems mispriced here at +110, I would have though he comes in as the favorite for this match.

    I know Coric had a good run through the US hardcourt season but he hasn't done much on clay.

    Thoughts?

    Also think Nishikori takes out Djokovic... So long as the wrist injury doesn't force him to retire

          As automatic as he was last time? Do you even watch any of the matches or just look at recent matches/clay records?
          If you watched Djokovic vs Coric in **, the fact that Coric saved 9 MP while being down 5-3 in 2nd set (40-0 on Djokovic serve) and willed his way to 5-5, shows how composed he is to his previous years and is unwilling to surrender. He clearly missed Barca to prepare for a deep run in Madrid, so there was literally NOTHING "automatic" about Busta here.

            I feel like he always had that kind of competitive spirit and was unwilling to surrender. Even as a young kid, debuting on the ATP tour. What he lacks is a true offensive weapon. His forehand for example is just too weak for a big guy like him. Once he develops that, being able to take charge during the baseline rallies, rather then just running and defending, he'll be force to be reckon with

              I like the discussions that are starting to happen in this forum. Continue please

              And I think Dimitrov ML is the play today.

              Cuevas and Verdasco should go deep in this tournament.
