Yes Tsitsipas wins in straight sets, well done!

Tsitsipas’ game really suits the clay court, because he can make use of the slower court to give himself time to think and varies his game plan during the match. […]

Don’t understand why many pick Rublev to win here; he’s too one dimensional compared to Tsitsipas.

I love how Tsitsipas changes things once he senses he’s not winning playing the same way. He’s able to solve […]

Sinner winning the first two sets? Thing is if not for the late start and conditions not suiting Rafa, Rafa would’ve won comfortably! Maybe giving out bagels or breadsticks!

Rafa tends to make hard work o […]

Diego could have finished the match earlier, winning in four sets if not three. Thiem was obviously feeling the fatigue with all his recent exploits and the long matches (5 sets USO final; 5 sets in R4 and then […]

Djoko in three or four sets, unless PCB suddenly turns unbeatable.

Something interesting : Schwartzman beat Rafa at Rome and now they’re going to meet again in the SF; Rublev beat Tsitsipas at Hamburg and t […]

True, but Sinner was playing better in set one. I think after the MTO, he wasn’t playing that well in set two, and Rafa was a bit too relaxed after winning set one, and hence let slipped chances of breaking serves.

Wow, Rafa finally wins the second set not without struggles! Ok now plays with some confidence in the third set and finishes the job, it’s 50mins past midnight already local time.

Sinner is a potentially […]

Rafa is playing defensive tennis, just wanting Sinner to make errors. He has the habit of hitting the ball to the centre of the court when his opponent is there and then get caught without knowing which way his […]

Rafa is really subpar, poor almost. Sinner obviously is not playing that well in the second set and Rafa let his chances of breaking slip away when he’s ahead in the game by playing some dumb shots to lose the […]

Dimi was playing well by his current standard. Tsitsipas didn’t give Dimi much chances to beat him. Rublev otoh was giving his opponent many chances to win two sets, it’s his opponent who played poorly when hav […]

I think Tsitsipas has better chances Vs Djoko than Rublev does. Rublev is more one dimensional, and he struggled to put his opponent away in the fourth round. He could have lost another set had his opponent not […]

Schwartzman has the bad habit of getting tense up during crucial moments in matches; but, beating Rafa for the first time on clay at Rome may perhaps help him to have more self belief and overcomes such a […]

Schwarzman in four. Schwarzman will return many balls and will make Thiem runs with him. Thiem looked tired in his R4 match, not sure he’s up to it physically against a much fresher Schwarzman.

That’s what Tsitsipas did when facing and beating Fed at the AO. Shapo and Felix simply melted away when they faced Fed for the first time on the tennis court, at IW I believe (or was it Miami) one year.

Gaston turns out to be full of guile, like a Murray. I mean he’s able to beat Stan, and pushes Thiem to five sets, and both of them are power players!

The guy is very smart, using the drop shots so often a […]

It’s a shame that Stan lost; a Stan in full force vs Thiem would be a mouthwatering match, and might go the distance. Gaston simply doesn’t have the fire power or the guile to deal with Thiem’s power game.

Why are you worried of Sinner? It’s not like Sinner is beating Zverev handily, and Zverev isn’t playing well to start with.

Rafa will beat Sinner, and it will be a good preparation for Rafa to face Thiem in […]

And then they got beaten! The irony!

But, there are many deuces and BPs so it’s not like Sinner has it easy against Zverev. Zverev is not even playing that well to begin with.

I agree about Tsitsipas’ fluid game. After Rafa, Tsitsipas is the player I will support.

Tsitsipas has grown up a bit and he’s such a beautiful young man now, yes he’s the eye candy of men’s tennis, the next […]
