AO 2021 QF: Stefanos Tsitsipas (6) vs Rafael Nadal (2)

Djokovic_is_the_best#1 · Feb 17, 2021

He still needs to serve it out. Could choke it?

Tennis_Freak99 · Feb 17, 2021

Rafa WILL BREAK VAMOS

This match shows Sisipas has got much higher ceiling than Zverev.

I really want Tsitsipas to sort out his ball toss. It's all over the place. If he does there are so many benefits: more free points, serve harder to read, better balance on his first groundstroke (ideally a forehand)

I'm amazed he's achieved what he has so far without fixing it.

HOW??? THIS DEFIES ALL LOGIC!?
On paper Rafa is clearly the better player. Even mentally, he's the better player. He has more experience, he feels more comfortable in these big moments. What is going on???

He’s old and tired. Everybody saw the first 2 sets there is no comparison between the 2 players

Krish0608 · Feb 17, 2021

0-15..

MichaelNadal · Feb 17, 2021

He really screwed himself choking in the breaker

Lol. Well to be honest high drama for me is usually just as good as quality (which is arbitrarily judged around here anyway). I'd put this more on the high drama than high quality side but to each their own.

MasterZeb · Feb 17, 2021

Mental midget Rafa

@TennisFan3 2 sets completed in under 1.5 hours. Thoughts?

malbaker86 said:
right lol. He was wolfing all yesterday about how this was a 4+ hour slugfest in the making.

looks like we’re eating some crow lol

Don't choke, Stefanos.

mightyrick · Feb 17, 2021

Ah... and Nadal continues his streak. Nadal has never won a title on a court manufactured by Greenset in his entire career.

Greenset is Nadal's kryptonite. Completely neutralizes his game.

PrinceMoron · Feb 17, 2021

Though that was long then that happened

onyxrose81 · Feb 17, 2021

Come on Stef. Do not crap the bed now.

-NN- · Feb 17, 2021

Ahahahaha.

OK guys let's just get ready for the tiebreak.

Did not expect Nadal to crack. Against Tsitsipas of all people.

The guy let one slipped through his fingers after winning the first two sets. How many times has that happened? I remember fognini in 2015.

Tsitsipas is cool as a cucumber right now and Nadal is falling apart.

In moments like that someone for whom tennis isn’t everything surely has an advantage. Still not over though.

Djokovic_is_the_best#1 · Feb 17, 2021

Choke incoming?

canta_Brian · Feb 17, 2021

BGod · Feb 17, 2021

Dude, no.

Biotic · Feb 17, 2021

He's choking....

TripleATeam · Feb 17, 2021

Nadal with chance to break back!

Sysyphus · Feb 17, 2021

Tsisi looking tight

RS · Feb 17, 2021

Break back Nadal!

Krish0608 · Feb 17, 2021

The choke is on.

mike danny · Feb 17, 2021

If Stefanos chokes this away, he'll never recover.

NatF · Feb 17, 2021

Nadal just needs to keep the ball in play and not make UE's this game.

0-30
YESSSSSS

TheAssassin · Feb 17, 2021

This match lol... No u, no u...

PrinceMoron · Feb 17, 2021

Big big miss

Daniel Andrade · Feb 17, 2021

Nadal doesn't even deserve to win even if he somehow breaks, he's just passing the ball

D.Nalby12 · Feb 17, 2021

How can Nadal Miss that pass. How much his Passing shots have declined.

Djokovic_is_the_best#1 · Feb 17, 2021

Back to 30-30. Huge moment in stefanos career.

CYGS · Feb 17, 2021

How can you mug this up?

Deleted member 765152 · Feb 17, 2021

HUUUUGGGEEEE serve at 15-30

Breakpointerer · Feb 17, 2021

This match needs a super TB with 6 choked match points

MasterZeb · Feb 17, 2021

Stefanos getting ahead of himself too much and seeing the finish line by thinking about what he’s going to tweet after this.

PrinceMoron · Feb 17, 2021

30 all yes yes yes

Tsitsipas wasn't at his best yet during those 2 sets either, but yeah if both are playing their A game we obviously pick Nadal

abmk · Feb 17, 2021

tpas misses I/O FH on MP.
