ooh youd never watched mh before? like not the og series either? i also really like the new show!

Never! Think might have heard about the toys once, a few years back? A bit isolated out here heheh, and the internet speed is... well

BUT YEAH THE NEW SHOW! Gen 3? THAT ONE!!!!

okay so far i've only seen what's free on youtube and The Monstering and that's enough to tell me something Very Important about this show. Well. A few Very Important Things

1.) HALLOWEEN SCHOOL THATS SPOOKY YES YES YES

when was a kid (one million years ago) i was Obsessed with the idea of Halloween Town and loved imagining all these stories about my version of it

(accessed via a well, for some reason)

imagined being a pumpkin headed scarecrow (legit my first self insert OC, before I know those terms) and hanging out with MY ghoul friends (werewolf, vampire, skeleton, ghost, the usual)

drew fanart for it and daydreamed about it all year long...

my neighbor, the kid i played most with bc neither of us had anyone else, liked playing animal uprising in barbie town and wasn't so keen on the spooks, so my desire for a funky creepy friend group VESTERED. like worms. or maybe maggots

AND NOw

MONTER HIGH?????

There've been other shows or movies that TRY to do this, but they either go too dark for me, or the spook stuff is so surface level it's like halloween decorations

MONSTER HIGH IS JUST- PERFECT

soft core body horror via Frankie! Oh hey Cleo has bugs crawling under her wrappings! The teens are eating EYES and BRAINS and sloppy joes made from TOES?

COMMITED TO THE SPOOK

The students are ACTUAL spooks! Draculaura can turn into a bat! She's got NO reflection! Frankie keeps falling apart- Literally! Ghost students!

Creative use of the spook! Here's an eyeball to record your class project on!

it's VIBES

the vibes are EVERYWHERE

I LOVE BAD PUNS AND THIS IS FULL OF THEM EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME

2.) This show feels safe. Comfortable. Cozy.

Meet Frankie. They use they/them pronouns

THAT JUST HAPPENS SO CASUALLY IT JUST HAPPENS SO EASILY AND WE ALL MOVE ON LIKE ITS NORMAL TO SEE THAT IN A SHOW

Clawdeeeeeen and the school...

the students go from AHH A HUMAN!! to sneaking around trying to eves drop on Clawdeen and the headmistress and now they don't look scared they look curious, they're interested in this human talking about her love of monster stories and how she doesn't fit in with humans and just wants to stay here with them- it's sweet. It's so sweet.

Even before she turn out to be part werewolf, the feeling is, the students like her. They'd be happy to have her stay. There's a connection here even WITHOUT being a monster

like Draculaura and Frankie and Duce want to help Clawdeen figure out what kind of monster she might be SO SHE CAN STAY. the framing is, turning out to be a monster would be the EXCUSE for her to be here, with friends. The ones she already has, now

my heart

dont touch me

I NEED A SOFT SHOW LIKE THIS. I NEED, JUST, HEY WE CAN BE KIND ON A GENERAL BASIS. THE WORLD CAN BE LIKE THIS

3.) the... the expectations of what a body should look like.... break them and be joyful

Clawdeen the werewolf girl is worried for a sec that she doesn't have ENOUGH armpit hair

for fun we get to see it growing THROUGH her SHIRT!

also i dont know why but it feels like this is one of the first times i've seen weregirls with leg and arm hair that has actual, noticeable, fur tufts. not just smooth with a fur coloring. this has Texture. these girls are HAIRY

and again it's just another thing, it's normal at monster high

hey i love it

Iris is on the fear squad

IRIS IS ON THE FEAR SQUAD

the monster who is fat and has one giant eyeball is on monster high's version of the cheerleading squad!

LAGOONA HAS ACTUAL NEEDLE SHAP TEETH

ALLLLLLLL. OF. FRANKIE.

metal leg? Clear and obvious scar stiches all over their body? yep! zero self image issues this monster is just out there grooving!

hey this merdude has a tail with no legs he uses a wheelchair no biggie

look

i have EXTREME dysphoria and no money to do anything about it

i want to go to monster high, too

it looks safe

last and most important of all....

4.) WRITING ! HEY! THE WRITING IS SHARP AND THE EDITING IS CRUNCHY

character voices. CHARACTER VOICES.

THEY HAVE THEM

a lowbar, you might think, and yet i've spent good money on media written for adults that DOES NOT HAVE THIS

i've watched maybe, four five eps? and already i can HEAAR the characters in my head! i can feel the TONE of the show! i can imagine my own little adventures for them bc it's easy to feel what they'd say or do!

I LOVE CHARACTER VOICES

you know what i hate? things that arn't set up! things that are forgotten!

eleven minutes and so far not ONCE has something happened that wasn't set up before hand

Oh everyone's out of the camera ghoul yay- wait. I don't see cleo in the pile. did they forget to animate her?

NOPE

She's still in the camera monster's pocket dimension!

SHE REFUSES TO LEAVE UNTIL IT FINALLY TAKES A GOOD PHOTO OF HER FOR THE FEAR BOOK!

as set up by her having trouble even buying coffee bc her id doesn't look like her, as set up by her new photo also getting ruined accidentally by Frankie, as set up by her getting caught by the monster when she came back to demand another photo!

the way the three bell chime "ding, ding, DOOOM" are used when Clawdeen is exchanging thumbs up with the wolf pack only to cut on the DOOOM to her going into the woods for the pack meeting against her instincts

nervous ding nervous ding BIG DOOOOOM OF THIS IS A BAD IDEA

brain candy

that's brain candy for me

i feel like a zombie media student

"gOoOoOd eDiTtInG....!" i moan, shambling towards the next episode with arms out stretched

there's so much of this tbh its always there

ok i have to stop this rant this is getting ridiculous

QUICK OTHER MENTIONS OF AWESOME

---- VOice acting! I'm sensitive to stiff acting and these ppl are haivng FUN i can FEEEEEEL it. Cleo and Spectra stand out for me. And Lagoona especially. i love Lagoona

---- DESIGN AND COLORS aye it's pretty! my eyes are having fun!

---- MUSIC AND SOUND DESIGN they are on point and make everything ten times better

----- WORLD BUILDING i don't need to explore it but it feels like there's a world and a history of monsters out there and that sells the whole school

----- THE FEELS so far Draculaura in the Food Fight ep hits the hardest. Girl giving a presentation against witch craft, while secretly practicing witch craft, to convince herself it's bad... needing confidence to cast spells correctly, only she loses hers... all of the wanting to be a witch, it makes her feel like her, and then- the realization that that MAKES her a witch. She already IS one. She wants to tell her dad but, just, can't. And her friends support her.... oh, that hit good

And also, of course, Frankie the nonbinary monster!

who isn't a split of guy and girl, or a multiple personality deal. They're just. Nonbinary. They don't need a reason or an explanation.

sure you could say, it's cause they're made up of parts from other people, but the show doesn't say that. Frankie calls those parts their "past" selves/lives. this is their life though and they are their own self. silly, sweet, emotional, curious Frankie Stein. who goes by they/them

as someone with zero gender, who can't introduce my self as they/them, that feels so good

this SHOW feels so good

cleo/frankie is really cute, very adorable, but i think im just bitten for the whole show now. i don't care what happens in particular just let me frolic gleefully in the childhood i wish id had :)

#monster high gen 3 #frankie stein #draculaura #clawdeen wolf #.#IM JUST YELLING HAPPILY PAY NO ATTENTON TO MY SHRIEKS OF JOY FROM THE ATTIC

Are the lines on your drawings stylistic choices or are they measurement/guiding lines? Either way, they are cool, but just wondered. I dont understand drawing at all, might as well be a magic spell to me. I was looking at the pencil (?) sketch of Malkin with the cheesecutter hat on.

i, uh, definitely did not google 'cheesecutter hat' until after i saved out these images. :/ sorry about that. if you'd like the other one broken down, i can do that too lol. my reading comprehension when im tired is kinda lazy i just saw 'cheese' and imediately thought 'omelette'. SO here's the 1) initial sketch, 2) 'clean' sketch, and 3) final lines for the omelette boy drawing instead:

also i have had a cumulative of about 9 ish hrs of sleep total for the past two days so keep that in mind for if this explanation makes no sense, its not my fault. :( anyway! the way i draw definitely has changed over the years but currently im really trying to focus on the line i "see" rather than the one that is actually "there". i've been applying this to my writing for years (story vs happening truth) and you know it never occurred to me that i could do it in my drawings too till like...a few years ago. in general these lines seem to form the planes of the subject. if you google 'stanford bunny' you can find an easy example of a 3D surface turned into triangles. I do this too - see things in relative triangle proportions, except i've been doing it long before i knew how computers worked. i cant begin to tell you how long d*sney and cartooning's obsession with round building blocks of anatomical structure fucked with my brain until i finally decided i could cast that teaching aside completely.

ANYWAY sorry off subject again. so we have these sketchy under lines, and usually as im trying to find the proportions and form of the subject these lines end up being where the light/shadow hits. here i saved out the 1) 'flat colors', 2) the 'light', and 3) the 'shadow' parts on their own (i lightened the background for the 'shadow' so its easier to see):

the light is like four or five 'overlay' layers of pale yellow/orange. you can see how each of these layers follow one of those sketchy lines i did initially. and the same with the shadow but instead its a dark red color set to 'multiply' for each layer. and when you combine everything together you get:

some bullshit :). anyway you know that anniversary edition of beauty and the beast that featured the version previewed to nyc audiences in 1990 with the glen ke*ne sketchy keyframe animation of the beast's transformation? i watched that - must have been sometime after i graduated college - and i felt robbed that THAT version was never presented as a final piece. the 'unclean' drawings had so much more life and movement and intensity to them. tldr i like the messy lines, i hate 'inking' with a passion (HATE. IT.), and when i finally allowed myself to stop giving a fuck drawing became way more interesting. but my art is shit and i will never be glen k*ane so i dont really feel like the best advocate for this "style". alas. there was this one artist on tumblr who i fucking loved whose sketches were SPECTACULAR but the asshole racists in the m*c*ha*nz*o fandom bullied her off tumblr and ive never been able to find her art anywhere else since. she was also very negative about her 'unclean' sketches and it made me so sad. there was also this other artist whose sketches were awe inspiring but all she drew was p*rn and well...we all know what happened on tumblr in december 2018.

also i 100% stole the lighting scheme from The Bear which is currently one of the most gorgeous shows on television right now in my opinion

im really really sorry if this makes no sense, if im feeling motivated maybe i'll try again when my brain is fully functioning but with the actual 'cheesecutter hat' doodle ^_^

#thank you #wip #where in the world did that hat get the name cheesecutter from????#i guess it does look vaguely cheese wedge like #theres such a fine line between different hat forms #like those 1920s styles especially i mean #for some reason i always thought that style was called the *directors* hat #and then the more round and floppy version walt wore in the 1920s was called either newsboy or cabby hat #i searched for a version of walt's hat for YEARS #and didnt end up finding one until i moved to los angeles and stepped into go*rin bros hat shop in old pas #which is actually the same company geno uses for his trucker hat i think #that hat shop sadly closed :( i dont know why #they just sell online now i guess

hi again yall!!!! wowza this is v last second! but im here for day 2!! hope everyone is enjoying bc i know i certainly LOVE seeing what everyone is posting:) keep it up<3

gruvia week day 2: alluring

*SOME BACKGROUND FOR THIS FIC BTW!!!!!!! so this is based on the doodles mashima posted a while ago of gray and juvia at that spa together. if u dont know what im talking about, it’s fine, you should still be able to follow along, i just wanted to give some context!*

Gray sighed with relief when he finally got back to his room. He should’ve known that at some point Juvia would try and pull something like that. Especially since their relationship was a bit of a question at the moment, and they were at this awkward phase between “just friends” and “in a relationship”. Basically, Gray was keeping her at bay with the label of “something more”, but naturally, Juvia was eager to solidify their status.

He was slightly reluctant to take this weekend trip to the spa with all of his friends, since he wasn’t much of the “spa” type, but thinking about how he could finally just kick back and relax got him really looking forward to it. Of course, he planned on spending time with Juvia as well, but just maybe not in the way she inteneded. Gray hit his palm to his forehead for falling for it.

“Idiot.” He said under his breath. As he stood in his silent room, the image of Juvia sitting next to him in the bath with him was deafening. There he sat, thinking he was in the onsen all alone, and then bam: Juvia appeared through the water.

He was mortified at first, but once he saw how upset she got when he asked her to leave, he couldn’t help but feel the slightest bit guilty. Then, Juvia just had to take it to the extreme, though, and lean in for a kiss. She was always the bold type, but her being drunk just amplified it. That was when Gray really lost it, creating an ice wall between he and Juvia and running off to his room.

While the whole situation was annoying, he just could not get the picture of Juvia out of his head. The water was cloudy since it was so hot, so he couldn’t see much of her, but he was doing everything in his power not to look, anyway. Just when he thought he had himself and the situation under control, Juvia just had to look up at him with those eyes.

They were glossed over with tears, as she was upset with Gray not wanting her there. Her long lashes were coated with water droplets, and her lips were pouted in the most unintentionally suggestive way. Her hair was wet, and it was messily framed against her face. Her arms were wrapped around herself, but her breasts still peaked out on top of the water, and their fullness was still very evident. Even though they gleamed due to the way the water and the light hit them, Gray did absolutely everything in his power to not let them take ahold of him.

Gray snapped out of his reminiscing, and shook his head back and forth. “Knock it off.” He thought to himself. “She’s your friend.” Of course, he was lying to himself.

He cracked open a bottle of liquor, taking a swig of it to try and numb his mind so he wouldn’t have to think about—well—- that.

Just when he thought he could get the thought out of his head, there was a soft knock on the door. Shortly after, a soft voice followed with: “Gray-sama?”

“Shit.” He said under his breath. What should he do? Pretend to be asleep? Yeah, that was good. He stayed silent and hoped that Juvia would eventually walk away. After about 15 seconds of silence, he realized it wasn’t like Juvia to just walk away, and figured he might as well take another swig of his liquor and bite the bullet.

He opened his sliding door to see Juvia, thankfully wrapped up in a robe, planted right there. Her hair was still slightly wet, and her skin was tinted pink from the heat if the onsen. She looked up at him with eyes that still glimmered with dampness, and her lip still gave a pout, but it was slightly different this time.

Gray sighed. “Look, I’m sorry for causin’ a scene and storming out like that but you-“

“No!” Juvia held up her hands, telling Gray to stop. “Don’t, please. Juvia should be the one apologizing. That’s what I came here to do.”

Gray looked down at her and could tell, just as usual, she was sincere as ever. “Alright.” He paused for a moment. “Wanna’ come in?” Gray realized what inviting a woman into his room might imply, but he really didn’t mean it like that, and while he didn’t want Juvia to get the wrong idea either (and if she did she would certainly jump on it), he did actually want to spend time with her. Afterall, she was his— friend—or—- something like that.

Juvia’s sulking came to a halt, and her lips curled as she gave a sure nod.

“Want a drink?” Gray motioned to his liquor he just opened.

“Juvia shouldn’t. I’m sure you could tell from before, but Juvia has certainly had enough to drink, and honestly I’m still not quite sober.” She nervously giggled.

“Suit yourself.” Gray shrugged.

“So...” Juvia began, and started scanning the room. She did a full 360 degrees during her examination. “This is Gray-sama’s room? Where Gray-sama sleeps and everything.” She gave a mischievous giggle, and Gray could tell where her mind was headed.

“Aaand you made it creepy.” He said, defeated, sitting on the ground.

“Creepy?! Juvia’s just admiring the very room where Gray-sama lives.” She swooned.

“Yeah, for the weekend. Now relax and take a seat.” He couldn’t help but give a small chuckle. She was certainly entertaining, to say the least.

“Again, Juvia is very sorry.” She sat down, and her tone regained some seriousness. “Juvia should not have been so— well— forward, I suppose.”

“Ya think?” Gray snorted.

“Juvia just wants to spend time with Gray-sama!”

“And you think I don’t wanna’ spend time with you?!” Gray said it so fast, he didn’t even have time to think before he said it, but boy he really said it. Both of their cheeks instantly lit up with pink.

“Gray-sama wants to spend time with Juvia?!” Her face sparkled with a smile.

“Urgh!” Gray furrowed his brow and looked to the side. There wasn’t any getting out of this one. “Yeah. I do, ok?” He mumbled.

Juvia giddily laughed and lightly clapped her hands. “Well that makes Juvia very happy.”

Gray looked back to Juvia’s direction, and his heart thumped a bit louder at the sight. He finally noticed that from sitting down, her robe was slightly disheveled, leaving more of an opening for her chest to peak out. Her hair was less damp now, and it seemed a bit more kinky than normal. Her face changed from that promiscuous pout to a bright smile, yet, it still gave Gray that same odd feeling.

“Think we could try again tomorrow? Maybe this time Juvia won’t show up drunk and naked in your bath.” She sounded a bit more nervous and laughed, possibly at least a bit more aware of what she had done earlier. It was a lot even for her.

“Yeah, I’d like that.” Gray grinned and nodded.

“Sounds good, but...” Juvia’s finger drew shapes on her lap as she looked down, like she wa stalling for something. “Juvia would still like to keep talking to Gray-sama now, if that’s alright.” Gray couldn’t help but notice how adorable she was. While he had gotten used to and grown to enjoy her forwardness, seeing her be a bit hesitant was cute as well.

“Sounds good to me.” Gray said, contently.

Juvia perked up and smiled. “Great!” She brushed some locks behind her ear and sat up straight, attentive to Gray. “So, what’s Gray-sama’s favorite part about the spa so far?”

It was interesting, because it may just seem like mindless small talk, but not for Juvia. Gray could tell that Juvia was actually interested in what Gray had to say. She wanted to have actual, meaningful, conversations, and that was something Gray always appreciated about her: that she cared so deeply.

Even the little things like this made Juvia so alluring. As much as he may be reluctant to admit it, everything she did drew him closer to her. Earlier, the way she looked in the onsen, and even to now, her sitting in his room, asking him about his day with a genuine smile on her face, it was all pulling him in closer.

He loved every sight she had in store for him.

Q:Did Chisaki or Nemoto teach her how to shoot a gun? Was the idea of quirk erasure bullets ever brought up? Oh! Seeing as eri is basically chisakis protege would she be the next head of the Yakuza seeing as her grandfather was the original head so by blood she should or not since it is usually males and she is female? Does she have the same view as Chisaki on heroes that they 'need a cure' or have 'a sickness'? Sorry for all the questions I'm just really curious about this take!

whoah thats a lot :'' im not burdened by it just shocked people actually care about my au skdhdjd

1. i feel like nemoto would teach her, since he is trusted by overhaul with the quirk-erasing bullets and actually HIT mirio which means he probably had some training prior, and also eri and shin could really bond in their training sessions

2. since this au only changes events that happen after she encounters deku, then yes. the little box of quirk erasing bullets that kai made still exists, but since they cost a lot to make (from extracting eri's dna to actually making the bullets) he decided to instead focus on training eri to erase quirks herself. and maybe since she's actually got a grip on her quirk, when they do make bullets its easier to extract her dna (the bullets are then given to other trusted precepts members)

3. now while i dont know much about actual yakuza rules and who could lead them, i think eri being the next head of the hassaikai is a fun concept to dabble on. she is directly related by blood to the boss and perhaps the only reason she can't be a leader is her age. she still has a long way to go in terms of quirk training, strength, and general leadership since she is more of the rowdy and rebellious type

4. yes! i mentioned how her personality is similar to kai in a lot of ways, and i think she adopts his views and morals aswell, i mean she herself is both a curse and a blessing. her quirk can easily kill the ones she loves but can also aide her to erase quirks entirely. she remembers all those years ago when the two heroes-in-training chose to ignore her pleads and sobs just so they dont "cause a scene" image is everything to these heroes and she wants to cure them of their hero syndrome

honestly feel free to ask more thoughts you have! i like talking about this au even if i drew it 10 months ago

hey everyone! i just wanted to both showcase my own progress and maybe give some hope to you artists out there who feel like their art doesn’t improve!

this is the first ever portrait i did, and the first drawing of ikael i ever did. looks completely unlike him, doesn’t it ? i was so ashamed of this it was the only artwork i never put on this blog! i did it on july 8, 2017. just about two years ago!

the second art i ever did of ikael! as you can see, it still looks absolutely nothing like the picture above! i had only his hairstyle really down - everything else was too unfamiliar. this is dated january 5, 2018 - a good half year had passed since i had attempted drawing him. it’s up to you guys which you think is objectively “better” loll

this one is dated january 8, 2018! now he’s looking a little familiar, isn’t he? i clearly learned a lot from my mistakes, and you can too! i HATED the one i did before this, guys. i absolutely despised it and i was so close to never drawing ikael again, but i did. and it turned out so much better! when you reach a point like this, please keep going! this is basically the backbone of how ikael looks now! i still use it as reference sometimes whoopsie

this is january 28th, 2018! i filled the page with these drawings, and u know what? it got easier to draw him after that. i got more confident. repetitive iteration practice gives confidence, even if you think the individual drawings are “bad”. it’s not about the individual drawings! remember, you’re always learning, always improving. as long as you seek to do that, you will, even if you don’t notice.

january 29th - the first portrait i ever did of ikael! reference this for later ;)

march 5th, 2018 - who is this smiling young miqo’te with signature big ears? an expression? open eyes? things are really coming together! this took me ages and i didn’t want to refine it beyond a basic sketch, but i’m so glad i did!

may 11, 2018 - quick comparison to how my non-painted portraits were looking! (this is the lovely @glyphenthusiast‘s woL, anemone, btw) i was in a work-heavy art program here and barely found the time to actually practice, but look at the improvement! ;;w;;

july 16, 2018 - this was for a follower milestone! my second ever attempted Full Portrait of ikael. i wimped out and closed his eyes, but i remember being super proud of this!

july 26, 2018 - guys i was SO proud of this one that it’s still my phone lockscreen. and you know what? i think that’s really really helped me love this art and not regret it like i used to do a lot. can i see the mistakes now? yes. do i still love it? surprisingly, yes! (fun fact: i drew and painted the greyscale as we were getting an assignment, immediately coloured it and made some bs excuse abt using it as my assignment cover, and turned it in some editing later! do you know how long it took me? less than 3 hours TOTAL. that’s amazing!)

october 2nd, 2018 - this was for inktober! that’s the only reason i even did it; i was NOT confident in my skills, or my ability to finish things. but look at the detail!

may 31, 2019 - finishing off with a pic of my dear y’shtola! i did a bunch of other ikael drawings/half/fullbodies, as well as a scattering of portraits that didn’t take me very long, but this was the last thing i put significant effort into! of course i still have a ways to go, but i’ve come really far!

you can check out my #my art and #sketch tags to see everything, but these images worked the best together! i’m not trying to boast or brag, but i am proud of how far i’ve come, even if some days i dont feel that at all. and i hope this helped at least someone have some hope or inspiration for themselves! <3

#long post

Andy Murray too good for Juan Martin del Potro in fine French Open battle

Andy Murray had to excavate late to win the first two adjusts before running out a 7-6, 7-5, 6-0 win against Argentinas Juan Martn del Potro

Andy Murray experiences few ordeals more than proving people wrong and so the most tenacious gentleman in tennis goes into the second week of the French Open for the eighth time in 10 inspects with a echoing endorsement from the rival he trounced to get there, Juan Martn del Potro.

There were plenty of parties at the start of the week who horror the Scots form and fitness are currently in such a low ebb he had no chance of reaching the final for a second year in a row, and decreased prospects of going past the quarter-finals. He is not quite there yet, but he is in the fourth round again, and deservedly so after beating the occasionally inspired Argentinian by the misleading rating of 7-6( 10 -8 ), 7-5, 6-0 in precisely under 3 hour on a mild and agreeable afternoon on Court Philippe Chatrier , not long before the rainwater arrived.

Del Potro, becoming his first appearance here in five years old after the most wretched meter with hurt, said of their 10 th meeting, and exclusively the second to finish in straight organizes: It was another good battle. The first two starts[ took] two hours and a half, actually long sets.

Andy, hes very smart on courtroom. He has all the films, but also is great mentally. Thats why hes No1 in the world and I know how important this tournament is for him. I bid him all the best and, hopefully, he can go far.

A few players on the Tour would not annoyance with such compliments. But Del Potro is a man apart, encouraging sincere excitement in the crowd as he campaigned with tigerish intent to draw best available out of Murray. Del Potro should have won the first move but a scald forehand in the tie-break was out by so tiny a margin that the chair umpire conferred with the line judge before awarding the degree and set to Murray.

The second chassis was just as intense but Murray gradually got the upper hand over Del Potro, who was supposed to take drugs for a groin strain he picked up in his coincide against Nicols Almagro two days before. He did not exploit that as an excuse and told you he played sting free, but it was clear he was not moving as well as he might have wished.

Partly that was down to what he identified as Murrays court intelligence. There were so many artful exchanges between these two fabulou actors that it was difficult to picking when the win kill would arrive. Murray concentrated on impeding as numerous dances away from his resists lethal forehand as he could, then, having peppered him on the other side, employed the open court to tease him with drop shots.

Del Potro was just surprised by the strategy and, when not slicing backhand returns to keep the phase going, ran around those fires to unleash his forehand. He struck 16 clean winners with the fire, but only one in the final situate, which came and travelled in 28 hours. Fighting to the end, however, he made Murray save three break-dance items before completing the bagel.

Murray was in understandably good spirits although little has unsettled his feeling for some time, prevail or forget. The self-absorption of his youth is long gone, even if there is the odd on-court explosion still. He said after got a couple of such outbursts in his second pair, against Martin Klizan on Thursday, that he sometimes conflicts to contain those emotions.

Perhaps it is no bad situation, though. If he were to go totally against his true nature he might generate confusion that would further erode the commonwealth of his recreation leader. He had it on here, with simply a fleeting cus or admonishment for his container, where Ivan Lendl sat in his customary position of expressionless concentration.

By the standards of a year ago, when he propelled the most extraordinary assault on Novak Djokovics No 1 macrocosm grading around this time, he has under-performed. He arrived here having lost early in tournaments to excellent but lower-rated rivals in Dominic Thiem( Barcelona ), Albert Ramos Violas( Monte Carlo ), Borna Coric( Madrid ) and the dangerous and unpredictable Fabio Fognini( Rome ).

But Murrays clay game is improving by the coincide. He agreed that this might have been his best 2017 testifying. I played some good parallels beginning of the year, he said, but emphatically, in the clay courtroom season, those second and third defines were the best I have played, for sure.

He might have paid scant attention to the pessimists, but his climate is hoisted. He is ready to raise his height another notch, as all the really good participates do when it matters. He expects to get better, because he has done it so many times before.

Last year here, he reached the final after coming close to suffer in his first two accords, each of which went to five primeds. This time, he took four locateds to overcome Andrey Kuznetsov and Klizan before affecting an foreboding trounce against Del Potro.

To be playing him this early on in the smash is not easy, but it can be a very positive happening, Murray said. You play person that good, perhaps youre a little more switched on. Your focus is maybe a little bit higher.

There was one moment of minor discomfort when he was asked why he was shushing himself.

He arced his eyebrows and responded, I dont know who you are I was doing it. Why does it stuff? Whats the big cheese? I dont get it. If I say something and you guys ask me what I was saying, if I say nothing, “youre asking me” why I dont say anything. What do you want me to do? What do you are willing to to say? Its irrelevant. Whats relevant is what happens during the points.

Hes not wrong.

Kyle Edmund falls short but glad with progress

The last-place experience two British participates drew it to the fourth round of the French Open, the Beatles were No1 in the charts and Harold Macmillan was serving out his closing months in ten Downing Street. Kyle Edmund, 22, might not have listened to From Me to You or know who Supermac was, but the 22 -year-old with the booming forehand would dearly have loved to equal that 1963 achievement alongside Andy Murray at this tournament.

For long elongates of his third-round equal against Kevin Anderson, Edmund looked like being part of a little bit of tennis history, but he found the resilience of the towering, strong South African too much after practically four hours of grinding tennis on the compact Court 2.

Anderson, seven situates behind Edmund in the world standings at 56, outlasted him to triumph 6-7( 6-8 ), 7-6( 7-4 ), 5-7, 6-1, 6-4 and book a neighbourhood in the last 16 against the former US Open champion Marin Cilic, who did short work of the Spaniard Feliciano Lpez, to triumph 6-1, 6-3, 6-3.

Edmund was simultaneously disappointed and satisfied, pointing out that another five-setter was a helpful part of his tennis education, especially as he hold back well physically. Now, he says, he is looking forward to Wimbledon, with preparation at Queens and Eastbourne defying the suggestion that it was a surface on which he did not detect comfortable.

I dont fairly remember me ever saying that I dont like grass, he said in his ultra-polite practice. I exactly experience playing on clay and hard much more. Well, I play on them a lot more. So I have more hour on them.

There was little in this match for nearly three hours, as they sold big cheese from behind or near the baseline. Each of them loaded up with full-force groundstrokes, averaging only three shots a rallying until near the end of the equal. As Edmund said after his quick-fire win over Renzo Olivo in the second round: Theres not much place having artilleries if you dont use them.

Jim Courier said after that performance that Edmund given the opportunity to be a top-1 0 player. Apart from a plunge during the fourth set on Saturday, he examined worthy of the assessment.

Anderson came to life down the extend to apply the pressure back on Britains No2, although shatters were hard to come by for each of them. Edmund harboured from love-4 0 for 3-3 in the fifth but had not been able sustain his stage all the way to the end.
