2017 Paris Bercy QF - Juan Martin Del Potro vs Death of Tennis incarnate

[mike danny]

Are you implying it would take Murray, Djokovic, healthy Nadal, or Big Serve Neutralizerer to stop Big John here in these conditions?

The only tournament outside USA where he peaks nowadays.

 

[Red Rick]

one slip-up from Delpo here and it's bye bye London..maybe he and Rafa can vacation together

That's stupid on so many levels

 

[jjermann]

This is outrageously bad returning from Delpo also, he can't return consistently well in this match and thats his downfall. He has not responded to Isner's peaking at all, but continued same garbage he showed in first set.

 

[marc45]

wait, if Rafa pulls out Delpo can still get in that way depending on Isner/Sock?

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Some very good play from Isner this week to be fair. Last year's run wasn't a fluke.

One of the more entertaining Americans since Pete-Agassi era. That perfectly tells you how much they stink.

 

[marc45]

That's stupid on so many levels

you're tense, breathe

he's minutes away from being gone

or not

he may need Rafa's knee to punch a ticket to London though

 

[Berasategui94]

The only tournament outside USA where he peaks nowadays.

So it seems, and the conditions help of course, it's super difficult to break him here.

 

[jjermann]

Never seen anyone return worse those 2nd serves than Delpo today.

 

[George Turner]

Come on Isner!!

One of the more entertaining Americans since Pete-Agassi era. That perfectly tells you how much they stink.

Idk, Ginepri and Young are/were pretty entertaining

 

[marc45]

30-30

opening vs. Isner

 

[jjermann]

You goddamn suck today Delpo.

 

[marc45]

this is it, Delpo holds or Rafa's knee is his hope for London

 

[albertobra]

What an error....30 all on Isner serve you just net a BH like that Delpo?

Chances are there gotta take them.

 

[marc45]

PCB praying for Big John to break

 

[chjtennis]

It is wide open for everyone remaining with Nadal pulling out. I would love to see Delpo taking the title, but this is not an easy match.

 

[jjermann]

I have never seen Delpo to make this many mistakes in important points.

 

[jjermann]

Must be worst match Delpo has played this fall by country mile.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Didn't expect Delpo to get broken by Isner. What happened there in the first set?

Are all the matches played catching up with JMDP?

 

[George Turner]

Silver lining; the draw has opened up for Bennetaeu to finally land a title.

 

[jjermann]

Isner makings shots he has never made in his life. The guy is truly peaking in all levels.

 

[marc45]

like Delpo's chances in the third but first things first

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Tie-break.

Come on Delpo!

 

[chjtennis]

Delpo is in danger of missing out WTF, but Big John can qualify if he wins the whole thing. Will be quite amazing if Isner makes it in that fashion. He is the only one other than Delpo who can leap frog Carreno Busta now. PCB must be praying that Isner knocks out Delpo and then fails to win the tournament.

 

[Meles]

The best part of any Isner match

 

[chjtennis]

Very important for Delpo not to give away the points on his serves.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Looking at the stats, Delpo desperately needs to get his first serves in here.

Nope. If Isner wins this, Sock wins Paris; Sock makes WTF.

 

[chjtennis]

Unbelievable serving from Isner.

 

[chjtennis]

Great 2nd serve! Delpo with SP!

 

[marc45]

choke job, God loves Delpo

 

[Bukmeikara]

Vamos

 

[Meles]

Del Possum springing his trap?

 

[jaggy]

Advantage Delpo I would say

 

[Paul Harman]

Unbelievable serving from Isner.

 

[chjtennis]

Unbelievable. Isner DFs at SP! 1 set all.

 

[underground]

Classic Isner with the DF, but credit to Delpo for winning the game of chess at 5-5.

 

[NatF]

@TheGhostOfAgassi turn on the telly quick Isner is topless

 

[chjtennis]

Nope. If Isner wins this, Sock wins Paris; Sock makes WTF.

You are right. Sock is still in it!

 

[ricki]

Isner donating set and maybe whole match by stupid braidead df at critical moment

 

[Russeljones]

Del Possum for the (easy) win.

 

[Deleted member 512391]

Vamos!!

One sloppy game from Del Potro at 5-4 and it was over. He missed some easy forehands.

 

[SeeingDusk]

Del Po Del Po!!!

 

[Raindogs]

Big John avoids 0-30 by shanking a forehand winner.

PCB doesn’t deserve to be in the WTF. When you have guys like PCB in the race for London, that’s how you know tennis is in shambles.

Not ahead of Delpo. Looks like JMDP is trying to fix the situation now.

 

[marc45]

Delpo hurt now, tour breaking down late

 

[marc45]

and the break...grind has caught up to Delpo

not playing Oz hurt his chances immediately, but he has the Cup

 

[Raindogs]

Delpo broken, seemingly injured, the fans collectively realizing now that the draw has turned to absolute rubbish.

 

[jjermann]

Game over and gonna turn the match off. Its awful to the sensitive eyes.
