Tsitsipas and Stan don’t have similar styles! Tsitsipas is more like Fed, playing an all court game whilst Stan’s is more a baseline game, just like Thiem’s and Dimi’s, with occasional ventures to the net. […]

Stan in four; Kei in five.

I don’t understand the DFs – five or six of them, too many I feel. I noticed that Rafa kept looking at the shot clock when he’s serving; and once he’s getting close to the 25 Sec limit, he tend to miss the first […]

Please, if Rafa and Djoko go five sets at RG final, don’t ever hope for a Fedal or Fed/Djoko Wimbledon final. They’ll kill each other at RG and will be left with nothing for Wimbledon. They’re not young anymo […]

I agree, Djoko is super strong from the baseline, so to beat him you have to take away his time so that he’ll feel rushed and thus will make more errors. If not, then you have to over power him from the baseline, […]

How can his legs be fresh when he has to play BO5 and seven matches over two weeks? He’s not young anymore and after some heavy duties during this clay season, I doubt he’s all that fresh. Furthermore, he’s more […]

Ok ok you guys win. Anyway I’m not complaining as long as Rafa wins the title.

Correction: Djoko won the second set 6-4.

Rafa has now won at least a title in each of the last sixteen years (from 2004 to 2019), winning at least a big title in 14 of them (2004, 2015 he didnt win at least a […]

Hi all, I didn’t get to see the first set but managed to watch the later part of second set and the whole of third set.

I read that Rafa was aggressive with his FHDTL shots to bagel Djoko in set one. When I […]

Seriously, I’m prepared for the sad day. I’ll be at the airport today, going travelling, so may not see the match in full, probably able to watch the first set?

I doubt Rafa is going to do those listed above, […]

I’ve to add, Tsitsipas is good from both wings, I feel his BH is really a weapon, better than Fed’s imo during Fed’s younger days. He could go CC and DTL from both wings, I feel if he plays consistently well with […]

I do feel Tsitsipas sometimes gets ahead of himself. I feel he thinks he has now beaten the big three so he should be right up there with them now, probably among the top five.

If he wins the SF, he really […]

It’s not only the mental edge, it’s the player’s own mental make up. Djoko didn’t have any mental edge over Fed at USO2010, yet he was able to produce gutsy shots to get himself out of troubles.

Rafa could do […]

Schwarzman playing with all out aggression now, taking it to Djoko, good to see.

Schwarzman is slow to cover his FH and is always late hitting his FH so tends to mishit;Djoko is hitting to his FH to extract errors.

I feel to beat this Djoko, you either overpower him with relentless attacking – hitting hard without missing to force him back – like what Stan did in the past and now what Delpo does (he almost beat Djoko), or […]

Djoko is playing very well despite having long matches. In fact I find him scarily good because he’s hitting with depth, even painting the lines and he’s moving his opponent from left to right and right to […]

Yes, Rafa wins the match and finally into his second final this season!

I’m just happy that Rafa has finally gotten into a final after reaching SFs in his past four events.

Tsitsipas looking angry when […]

As for the Schwartzman vs Djoko match, it depends on how Djoko recoup physically; Schwartzman is not unlike Ferrer, full of energy and bouncing like a bunny, and he could go CC and DTL from both wings. I remember […]

Delpo has himself to blame, for not managing to close the win when having MPs in the second set TB. Since he could serve down the T when his service game was under threat, why then he couldn’t do the same when h […]
