2017 Munich Final - [3] Alexander Zverev vs [Q] Guido Pella

[The Green Mile]

They've only met once before, back on the challenger tour in 2015, with Alex winning in straights on clay.
Zverev fighting for his 3rd tour title, while Pella is gunning for the 1st of his career.
Match starts Sunday, not before 1:30 pm local time.

 

[The Green Mile]

Really wanted Chung in the final, but it's been a great last couple of weeks regardless. Good to see him back in the top 100. Zverev in two sets.

 

[rainingaces]

Zverev should win. Pella has moved up 49 ranking spots.

Z in 2.

 

[The Green Mile]

Damn the rain. Match starts not before 2:00 pm local time.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

[The Green Mile]

[The Green Mile]

Do you know for how long match is suspended?

Well, it says not before 2:00 pm local time, but unsure what the weather forecast is like...

 

[The Green Mile]

Not before 2:30 pm local time......

 

[The Green Mile]

Yeah, don't think it's going to start any time soon. People are leaving...

Been to much rain in Munchen this week. annoying

 

[SeeingDusk]

Monday final maybe. But how is Zverev going to play his match for Madrid tomorrow?

Monday final maybe. But how is Zverev going to play his match for Madrid tomorrow?

Might as well cancel the final then as no chance of play on Monday given the forecast.

Looks like a 2 hour window for sure around 5 pm today.

Zed looking pretty beastly today with the power ground game; nice to see.

 

[Meles]

Pella was leading comfortably 42 40-15* but now He is 46 13.

What happened? I saw the early going and not good for Z. Looks like Zverev has found his highest level now.

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Will Prince Zverev (@Meles , we all know Goffin is our king ) Hold his nerves in front of home crowd and hold for 2 more games?

 

[Meles]

two aces in this game for Zed.

 

[Meles]

Will Prince Zverev (@Meles , we all know Goffin is our king ) Hold his nerves in front of home crowd and hold for 2 more games?

Yes. He is playing amazingly well. He's got a great draw in Madrid and just needs to finish this in straight sets to have all the momentum in the world for 2nd round encounter with Cilic and then perhaps all the way to SF showdown with Murray or Thiem in Madrid. Just amazing play.

Not a single bad nerve spotted on the Prince so far. Serves like there is no tomorrow. Closer to his first German title and adding points to his NextGen lead!

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Yes. He is playing amazingly well. He's got a great draw in Madrid and just needs to finish this in straight sets to have all the momentum in the world for 2nd round encounter with Cilic and then perhaps all the way to SF showdown with Murray or Thiem in Madrid. Just amazing play.

he plays so fluently, really fun and refreshing to watch.
Lets see if he can sail this in like a future King!

 

[Meles]

Dayum that Zed BH 30-0
