i hope nick plays the final match. Raonic is about as reliable as novak going for a smash.

When does Fed/Isner start?

That’s true. But RBA is the fresher player and Zverev just played today too. We’ll see what happens. A must win for Fed now.

I do wish nick could sometimes hear himself speak. He says the right stuff. Just doesn’t seem to do it himself when he’s in that position.

Definitely. RBA is the more consistent, calculated and better match up player against Fritz.

In other news, Daniil Medvedev is a game away from winning the St Petersburg Open, giving him 250 points, prize money, increasing his charge towards London, a trophy and match experience. Yet poor Bautista Agut is sitting on the sidelines doing nothing and getting nothing.
Laver Cup is a farce.

RBA will be thinking, I’m not coming back next year. Could’ve been winning a title in Metz or St Petersburg and push him closer to qualifying for the WTF. Instead he’s sitting on the sidelines.

pretty sure rba gets paid as well. if europe was winning and thiem was winning would it still be a joke. he still gets to hang out with the greats and who knows maybe medvedev will want to play in LC next year as well. tennis doesnt always to be so black and white

to be fair i do think RBA is getting a good paycheck for showing up but yea he coulda either been A). getting matchplay in some other tourney or B). gotten team EU a crucial win over Fritz
Tim has been garbo after RG
no idea what's wrong with him

He is a hitting partner just like John Thompson is for Team World.

Sure some prize money but he’s 7th in the race to London and could’ve gotten some easy points in Metz or St Petersburg. Now he goes into Zhuhai with no match play since the US Open which isn’t good and then there’s the remaining Masters and such.

Hopefully but who knows.
He’s at 7th with 2350 points. Monfils is at 12th with 2080 points. Between 7th and 12th there’s just 270 points between them. 6 players with barely anything seperating them.
It’s tight for those last 2 spots. RBA has played just one match in the last month.

I know, I’m just highlighting that by playing actual tournaments he’s getting points for the race to London, something RBA and others aren’t doing by playing this ‘tournament’.

When practicing, do you think Isner is capable of hitting 20 + times over net without missing?

G.O.A.T.
he does look bored but behind the scenes he seems to be enjoying himself from what i saw. i also think rba just has that kind of face. i mean i get your point but i also dont think there is a need to be so harsh on people who play this event imo

listen when he was up 2 sets and had mps against anderson (yes i realize anderson is more than a serve bot imo) and then proceeded to lose i stopped trusting him against big servers
