You see, you talked about the big court, it’s as if Rafa hadn’t won on smaller clay courts!

You think had the court being smaller, Rafa would not adjust his game plan, and maybe played a bit more offensively? […]

Oh yes, another thing is executing a shot under pressure, how well one could do that sometimes determines whether you win or you lose the match, as the above given examples have shown.

This particular point at 6-4 in the TB goes to show who’s the better player in general, as Rafa had shown his anticipatary skills whilst Zverev had not the experience or shot selection ability to hit back to the […]

The ‘better’ player may not win, or may not always win the match. But how we define who’s the better player? By being the more attacking or more offensive of the two?

Chances are the winner of the match […]

I hope the weather is fine and the roof is open, hates the humidity that affects players physically.

Ivanisevic thought that Djoko could win the QF match, and he also thought that (and I believe there were many others who thought so too), the way Zverev played in the SF, he could be winning the first two sets […]

Agreed, about his tactics against Alcaraz; Zverev and his team got it right, by playing lights out tennis, overpowering Alcaraz without committing too many errors. Zverev played almost flawless attacking tennis […]

Cilic is serving well and hitting well this FO; I think his game suits the grass courts better than clay courts. I think he will do well at Wimbledon if he continues to play so well like this.

If Rafa is not […]

I think Rafa will win this one, in four sets.

Rafa has problem against players like Zverev (and maybe Cilic at his best), when they are hitting big without missing much to overpower him. It’s Rafa’s res […]

So sad for Zverev! I want Rafa to win but not in this way!

I hope Zverev’s injury is not too serious and hope it would not affect the rest of his season. So sorry for him, he’s playing well enough to push Raf […]

It looks quite a bad fall, Zverev has twisted his ankle, don’t know whether he can continue playing.

Oh my gosh, Zverev has suffered a bad fall, has to be wheel-chaired away for treatment! Oh what drama! Come on it’s Rafa’s birthday today, please no more drama!

This second set is not of high quality, full of errors from both, and six breaks of serves! Unbelievably bad!

Cone on Rafa, hood serve here for a change!

See, breaks twice and gets broken three times, like in the QF! What’s Rafa thinking! He’s spending extra energy on court unnecessarily; please break Zverev’s serve again!

If you can’t hold serve, at least break your opponent’s serve!

Rafa’s serve is just horrible, can’t even make a first serve! Come on Rafa, if you can hold serve, at least break serve to stay in the set! Vamos!

No second set let down please Rafa!

Oh mine! Thanks God, Rafa wins the TB and the first set, what a drama!

Rafa! This is so unbelievable, so unreal! I thought Rafa was going to lose the set when he went down 2-5 in the TB, what a turnaround! Vamos!

So much drama!

Rafa should move closer to the baseline to return second serves; he’s not adjusting his positions so Zverev doesn’t need to think much, just serve as Hugh as possible! He should at least create some doubts in Zve […]
