Nadline, obviously you’ve not watched Thiem’s every match. Thiem doesn’t go for broke always, that Thiem was the 2018 version. Thiem hardly go for broke to beat Rafa at Barcelona and won the title there. He di […]

Nadline, many coaches, those of players who realistically don’t have any chances!

Joe’s right, the weather will affect both guys, not only Rafa.

Excuse me, AO was how many months ago? Did you see how he play at IW/Miami? If anything he’s being slaughtered there by his opponents.

This is clay, not the HC of AO! He want to slaughter Thiem? Well it may t […]

Imo, Thiem is another Stan in the making, and I feel he may be better than Stan one day, ie he may win a slam at a younger age than Stan, and may win a few.

If Thiem can at least beat one of Djoko/Rafa here, […]

Why would Thiem crumble? Thiem is no Sasha, he’s so full of confidence now, if anything, it may be Thiem making Djoko runs out of idea!

Well, if Djoko were to bring his best for the SF, I’m afraid he would’ve nothing left for the final should he get there.

AO is AO, he’s not doing poorly in the early rounds there either, and in the final […]

Only one court (PC) with roof? I think they should have three courts at least with roof, so that more players could benefit from that instead of only the top players.

Djoko is 15 times slam winner.

True, that Djoko doesn’t look impressive so far despite winning all his matches in straight sets. Sasha could’ve won the first set and then things might get more interesting; he […]

I agree about Tsitsipas’s attitude and him being inconsolable after losing big matches. As Rafa said, Tsitsipas hadn’t ‘suffered’ enough, when he was feeling down after Rafa hammered him at the AO. The Stan’s […]

Don’t see why Djoko will sure win. I mean he’s not at his usual high standard throughout this FO, I mean who did he beat of note?

Sasha like I said, when and if he’s playing well, may cause some probl […]

VR, I agree about Tsitsipas.

I like it that he suffers some setbacks, it’s from them that he may learn not to take things for granted, not to think too highly of himself, and to know that there’s still som […]

I doubt so. Fed may play till he is 40, I doubt Djoko can play for another eight years, so no, no one is going to outlast Fed in terms of the longevity of his tennis career and also in terms of his physical age […]

I thought the Stan/Tsitsipas, Fed/Stan, Delpo/Khachanov; Kei/Laslo and Kei/Paire matches were good? The early rounds for the top guys were really boring matches I must say, huge gap in their levels, different caliber.

Maybe Sasha’s mentality is a bit like Berdych’s? When Berdych was younger, he thought he had plenty of time ahead of him to win slams, didn’t do much to improve his game.

Berdych with his big weapons, shoul […]

I don’t think so; Thiem is playing very well and Djoko will have a hard time beating him. Khachanov has two days rest after the Delpo match, I doubt he’s tired, it’s more like his one dimensional game is being […]

Rafa is a bit like Fed these days, ie slow to cover their FH corner, I guess it’s because they’re no longer that quick as they get older. They both have the tendency to camp at their BH corner, unlike a cer […]

Why Sasha just couldn’t serve like this (love hold at 2-4 second set) when he’s ahead in the first set, serving for it? No wonder he’s always having to go the distance in slam matches, because he doesn’t know ho […]

Thiem breaks in the second set and will be serving for a two sets lead. He’s playing some good tennis, in this form he’s hard to beat by anyone. I’m not sure Djoko could beat this Thiem; Thiem certainly playi […]
