Paire and Muller's Double-'Tweener Madness
Maybe
TennisTV
commentator
Kevin Skinner
is right. Maybe
Benoit Paire
’s ‘tweener lob was “borderline uncalled for,” but wow, what a perfectly placed shot it was. It took one heck of a shot to get
Gilles Muller
out of trouble but the Luxembourgian produced a bit of highlight-reel goodness of his own on the next shot by lashing a ‘tweener that Paire couldn’t handle. Style points? Ten apiece. Actual point? Muller.
But Paire had the last laugh, taking out Muller, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6(4).
Fourth-seeded Paire will face seventh-seeded
Alexander Zverev
in the quarterfinals on Friday. Paire will attempt to even his record in 2016 (19-20) and he will also bid to go 5-0 in the quarterfinals against the youngest player remaining in the draw.
The other three quarterfinals will feature top-seeded
John Isner
vs. fifth-seeded
Steve Johnson
, 13th-seeded
Ivo Karlovic
vs. sixth-seeded
Jack Sock
and eighth-seeded
Sam Querrey
against second-seeded
Gael Monfils
.
There are four Americans in the quarterfinals at the Citi Open for the first time since 2003.
