Come on Fed, time to pounce and get back on serve; it’s at around this time in set two that Tsitsipas made more errors and lost the second set to Rafa yesterday.

If Tsitsipas wins this, I hope it’s Thiem in the final and Thiem hammering him to win the title!

I really don’t want to see Tsitsipas winning this and becoming boastful after that. He tends to talk big these days after some successes, really don’t like him behaving like that, rather see him fails a few tim […]

Some smart point from Fed, and then he finally breaks serve. Will this match be like the one yesterday vs Rafa, when Rafa came back from one set down to win in three?

Let’s see whether Tsitsipas can keep up t […]

If Fed is a few years younger, I bet he’ll be the one winning the first set. The 17 years age difference really means something, when the younger player is playing so relentlessly aggressive, not giving Fed any t […]

Set one to Tsitsipas after some incredible points by both. Fed really plays well in the ninth game, just too bad he has to make some errors.

Tsitsipas is serving so well today, with some DTT serves that wins […]

Well Rafa won’t be playing as aggressively as Tsitsipas does against Fed, it’s just not Rafa’s style.

Fed could be overpowered by big serving and big hitting, which is what Tsitsipas is doing now. Tsits […]

Is Tsitsipas on fire or is Fed being below par?

It seems that Tsitsipas is more aggressive than Fed, which is quite surprising. Come on Fed, after the good job done vs Djoko, please don’t come back down to e […]

Lost fewer sets.

All three of Rafa, Tsitsipas and Sasha had each won 2 matches with Rafa beating Tsitsipas, Tsitsipas beating Sasha and Sasha beating Rafa. So it all came down to sets won and lost – Rafa lost […]

Agreed, Thiem in two or three sets.

Tsitsipas will be tired after the three hours high intensity match vs Rafa and without a one day rest. He may be paying the price for that match.

Thiem and Fed to meet in the final, Fed will win both the SF and final to close this decade in style, like Rafa ( with fifth YE no.1). This is compensation for losing out on the Wimbledon title.

It’ll be w […]

No, Djoko got 9045 points last year as YE no.1, worse than Rafa this year; you’re always so negative where Rafa is concerned! The Djoko fans never criticise Djoko for being no.1 with only 9045 points. Who c […]

Also, it reflects badly on the rest of the field, that Rafa playing so few events, yet he’s still able to be YE no. 1 with 9,985 points.

Nah, Djoko was at 9045 last season as YE no. 1, even lower than Rafa’s this season at 9985, go check the stats. So, Djoko really ‘steal’ the no. 1 ranking from Rafa last year when Rafa was injured and skipped the […]

Sanju, if Rafa reaches the SF, I think physically he’ll be ok because Fed right now would also want to finish his match quickly; he therefore will not let the match drag on the way Tsitsipas does. He’s also not […]

Finally, Rafa wins the match, phew!

Tsitsipas couldn’t generate a single BP chance, despite Rafa not having a big serve, that shows how good Rafa is ( and how hard Rafa has to work), to win points in his own s […]

Rafa’s inability to convert BPs may come back and haunt him. Why creates so many chances yet couldn’t take them? What’s the point?

Tsitsipas reminds me of Murray against Fed at 2008 YEC. Murray back then had already secured his SF berth to play Davy, and was playing a meaningless RR vs Fed and yet he went all out to beat Fed.

He lost to […]

I really hope that Moya would time Rafa when he serves, and trains him to serve within 25 seconds without needing to look at the shot clock all the time. Imo, his first serve is very much affected by that shot […]
