A lot of relief flowing through Molefam HQ atm.

What can you do against that? Not much.

Hope and pray to sneak out a tiebreak?

Or be Djokovic and send every one of those serves back to Zverev’s toes.

No. Zverev is playing GOAT tennis. He is unplayable.

Wawrinka has a worrying habit of hitting everything right back to his opponent.

"Hmm that doesnt work, let's try the same thing but hit it harder!"

King No1e · Jan 28, 2020

NoleFam said:
This match is over unless Zverev has an epic choke. Serving huge at 80% with two breaks? I can't see Wawrinka coming back in this.

Meaning it's still a 50/50 contest

Definitely not 50/50 now. More like 80/20.

Daniel Andrade · Jan 28, 2020

Ok I just got here, so can someone explain to me: If Zverev is playing so well, How the hell did he lose the first set 6-1?

TennisFan3 · Jan 28, 2020

Stan is BARELY moving now. He looks totally gassed. Unfortunate..

MichaelNadal · Jan 28, 2020

Oh Stan.

PeoplesChamp · Jan 28, 2020

I mean I love Stanimal as much as the next guy, but Zverev is blossoming at the moment and I think it's good for the game.

I know you don't like Zverev. But seriously this is the best Zverev I've ever seen. He is at 81% first serve and 135 mph avg speed.

Don't you also think it's better that someone else gets a shot at Novak? What;s the point of XXXXXXX Nadal vs Novak redux.

I wanted to like your post as I read but then a big no.... Why do you bring Nadal into everything????

King No1e · Jan 28, 2020

Goes to show you how crucial Zverev's serve is to his form.

And Stan is imploding now.

Centrius · Jan 28, 2020

Zverev is a couple of games away from his first slam semifinal.

Quick recap: Stan was on the first set, Z came out tight, then proceeded to push and servebot the next two sets before Stan checked out.

Breakpointerer · Jan 28, 2020

Lol this is going to be a bagel.

The Green Mile · Jan 28, 2020

Stan just wants off the court at this point, pitiful game here...

tudwell · Jan 28, 2020

Bagel incoming??

He started out so strong, too. Big letdown.

It's about to be good night Irene(as McEnroe would say. lol

Standaa · Jan 28, 2020

so here’s what I fear will happen

Ned loses to Thiem in an epic 5 setter

Thiem will then do what Thiem does and lose to Zed in SF

Zed will actually make a GS final

meanwhile Fed does a miracle and beats Djokovic in 5 sets, making the final, exhausted

Zed will feast on tired/injured Fed in the final

bleh

Breakpointerer · Jan 28, 2020

Saves all 3

WhiskeyEE · Jan 28, 2020

Stan's form was being really overrated. Although Zverev has been really solid. Nothing spectacular.

Thankfully Novak won’t let that happen.

Fed's student beats him in a slam final after they both take out Nadal and Djokovic...

Sounds fine to me.

Millions of others have too. Zverev making a slam semi is seriously disturbing.

Close. I think WTF18 SF/F Z was better. His FH was more potent there, and his serve was equally huge (% in likely less tho). WTF18 Z would be a night mare for most players. He's a year late, but he might be finally here.

HetTheGreaterer · Jan 28, 2020

ductrung3993 said:
Nadal would have the advantage over Thiem and the winner here due to the slow night court.

Thiem will make it a slugfest..
Nadal hasn't relied on outgrinding thiem to beat him, he's relied on blasting him off the court

He likely booked his flight out during the changeover. Probably my favorite player but this effort in the set is not particularly endearing.

Mark-Touch · Jan 28, 2020

Not watching the match now. Has Stan checked out?

I agree with this. Imagine the year of the next gen.
What if Zverev and Medvedev both win slams this year.

Surely that’s the match. Zverev ain’t losing two service games unless he suddenly gets very tight.

Stan getting run through like hot butter...It's over

mostly on point. But Z's serve has been ridic all match, about 80% in.

It’s beyond strange how variable Zverev’s serve is. One week it’s downright awful with countless double faults, the next he’s raining aces and landing 80% of first serves at 130+ mph. Doesn’t seem like a physical issue, so I don’t know why the one shot that’s always under his control is so inconsistent.

Why? What's wrong with Zverev. He is a great player. Very likable as well.

Ha... Btw, you ok with Zverev winning the whole thing???? Feds record will be safe for now and extra work for Djokovic.

ADuck · Jan 28, 2020

Nadal's draw can't catch a break it seems.

Absolutely.
When his serve is on fire, even fedovic find it extremely difficult to deal with him.
Because he serves with the power of Isner & accuracy of djokovic
