Bore off, clown

 

[West Coast Ace]

mini bagel incoming?

Yeah, Dimitrov should get a free buffet pass for that.

Halfway home.

 

[Sysyphus]

Vamolos Grigorsito! Did he really give a TB bagel to Ivo?

Can't believe TV is airing Fog's tankjob instead...

 

[coolschreiber]

Bore off, clown

Haha @ArcspacE in the house!!!

 

[ArcspacE]

Come on, almost there

 

[ArcspacE]

Yessssss!!!!!!

Jog on, haters

 

[Kalin]

My feed says Grisho 6-2 in the second TB.....

 

[West Coast Ace]

Solid job. On to the final.

 

[coolschreiber]

Bamosssssssssssss. .... what a solid win! Impressive returning.

 

[Kalin]

Yes, Grisho wins 7-6 (7:0), 7-6 (7:2).... wow! Taking 2 TBs from Dr. Ivo for a total of 2 points lost must be a record!!

 

[Pagoo]

Wow! Good job Dimi. Hope he can win the title. That would be a big boost.

 

[SoBad]

Dimitrov, what a talent.

 

[Pagoo]

For a "servebot"Karlovic is quite poor in tiebreaks.

 

[Kalin]

Dimitrov, what a talent.

Yup, they call him 'Baby Zverev'

 

[coolschreiber]

Yes, Grisho wins 7-6 (7:0), 7-6 (7:2).... wow! Taking 2 TBs from Dr. Ivo for a total of 2 points lost must be a record!!

Yep and most importantly no signs of implosions when Dr Ivo blasted a couple of second serve return winners. Cmonnnn Grigolo ! (TM @Sysyphus loollll)

 

[coolschreiber]

See you in the final folks!

 

[Sysyphus]

Bamos!

Young (pick-up) artist showing signs of life!

 

[JRAJ1988]

@ArcspacE

Let's hope he wins the title tomorrow!

 

[West Coast Ace]

Yes, Grisho wins 7-6 (7:0), 7-6 (7:2).... wow! Taking 2 TBs from Dr. Ivo for a total of 2 points lost must be a record!!

Dimitrov has a better career TB rec - 79-66, than Dr. Ivo - 304-306.

The 2 pts could be a record though. In the 1st TB, Ivo had gotten a time warning near the end of the set and was still whining about it in the TB.

pretty much nailed this one. PapaFed will be proud if his Basterd son can carry on in the family tradition with a title in Istanbul.

Not really. Just last season and this one.
