Cilic vs. Sijsling, Dolgopolov vs. Williams Key Matches In Memphis Thursday Action
Our final day of onsite coverage in Memphis will conclude with a host of big matches, starting off with women’s quarters in the morning, featuring Flipkens vs. Rybarikova and Lisicki vs. Mladenovic, along with Kubot vs. Russell in the men’s 2nd round on one of the outer courts.
Look out Tennessee: Williams is still in It
The next set of matches will be Hampton vs. Erakovic, Istomin vs. Hewitt and Voegele vs. Watson. I predict the best matches of the day will follow, Cilic vs. Sijsling and Dolgopolov vs. Williams. The good news: two matches that could both go the distance featuring streaky players. The bad news: they will both be going on at the same time.
