It was a shame Luca couldn't be at his best in the 3rd set.As much as I like Lucas, ARV deserves to be in the final.
He is indeed, Pouille didn't have much say in the 3rd set and ARV was just too solid for him.ARV is now a Top 20 player I believe, credit to him.
It was a shame Luca couldn't be at his best in the 3rd set.ARV very deserving.
Lucas' neck got snapped
Those are the words you thought you would never say.Vamos Ramos! What a tournament he is having, very happy for him.
Your turn Rafa.
Agut in a Masters final.
Ramos in a Masters final.
Busta having a fine season.
And of course the resurgent Bull.
The rise of Spain coming?![]()
As usual, the younger guys suck when it matters.
I didn't see the third actually, except the last 2 games.It was a shame Luca couldn't be at his best in the 3rd set.ARV very deserving.
At this stage, unless you reach a final of a big tournament or win the whole thing, one tight victory over a 30+ year old Cuevas isn't going to impress me. If that's the best a 22-23 year old like Pouille can do, then the future is bleak.What about yesterday when Pouille out-clutched Cuevas and Goffin did the same to Noél?
Half-empty, half-full, etc
Agut in a Masters final.
Ramos in a Masters final.

And of course the resurgent Bull.

Goffin is not a young gun anymore. He is 26. I wasn't talking about him.
I have officially given up on these young players. They always find way to prove they suck.Aren't you cheerful and fun this morning

He will be #14 unless ARV wins on Sunday.Post match interview of Lucas Pouille, after his 1/2 final loss to ARV ( from French daily sports "L'Equipe" ):
" Albert plays very deep, he played great...I did not serve very well today, was like this all week...there are times like that....I also failed starting new set(s), especially 3rd's...It's bad to loose serve that early...
(lower) back pain is not bad...I prefer to think / stay positive...currently my play / marks on clay are on schedule, rather good"
I believe Lucas should get into top 15 by monday.
