[Red Rick]

Here is a list of people who want to see Pablo Carreno Busta at the WTF

- Pablo Carreno Busta
- Pablo Carreno Busta's mom
- Juan Martin Del Potro

 

[albertobra]

Delpo down a break

 

[Red Rick]

Delpo seemingly injured

That's a pleonasm

 

[NatF]

Damn it Del Potro.

 

[chjtennis]

Surely, Delpo has some kind of niggling chronic pain on lower back or hip area. It's not debilitating, but flares up every now and then, it seems.

 

[jjermann]

Delpo is underachiever and this shows why. He has no fitness and can collapse in any moment even against bots.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

@TheGhostOfAgassi turn on the telly quick Isner is topless

At work

 

[George Turner]

Isner 100% break point conversion rate.

Clinical.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

This stinks.

 

[Raindogs]

That's a pleonasm

Excellent word, even as a fairly avid reader I had to look that one up. TTW educates daily.

 

[jjermann]

Delpo simply ran out of the gas against peaking opponent. His level is okay, but he can't beat any good playing like this. He has no legs to hit ball accurately well and relies on consistent midcourt rallying.

 

[marc45]

Isner can still choke, already has done it once today

Red Rick's heroin dealer.

 

[underground]

Imagine if Delpo somehow squeaks this out and withdraws to save for the WTF and Krajinovic gets a WO to the final.

And Dominic Thiem.

 

[albertobra]

On the game he got broken, Delpo thought he won the game with an ace, and was already going to sit down for court change. Hawk eye gave that ball out, and Delpo went back for 2nd serve, and lost that game.
While walking to his corner he was licking his finger and looked a bit strange. What was that licking for?

 

[SeeingDusk]

Del Po is in much need of a long rest. He's played way too much tennis.

 

[Steve0904]

Looks like Delpo will have to hope Isner chokes in one of these next two service games to qualify. Although I guess if Nadal withdraws he'll get in that way.

Not at all out of the realm of possibility, IMO.

PCB will still get the spot first if Isner or Sock pass him with the Bercy title.

 

[Raindogs]

Big John, who's never even won a 500 level event may start to think about things a bit too much here.

 

[Steve0904]

The moment of truth has arrived.

 

[Steve0904]

PCB will still get the spot first if Isner or Sock pass him with the Bercy title.

Good catch.

 

[marc45]

 

[jaggy]

And death takes it in 3

yep, it's on Nadal's knee for him now..although the way he looked at the end maybe he'd pass on that opportunity and we'd work our way down more

hell, Thiem and Zverev look like a couple of guys who'd rather be elsewhere too

 

[Red Rick]

That's it boys

I nominate @stringertom to write my eulogy

 

[NatF]

Hopefully next year Del Potro, Isner too good today. Delpo a bit conservative off the ground I felt.

 

[watungga]

WTF did Delpo said to Isner?
Isner looks like embarassed.

 

[albertobra]

Nothing really to add. Well done big John!

 

[underground]

FFS I don't want to see PCB at the WTF, he has literally done **** all since the USO and he'll be a whipping boy for his group at the WTF.

 

[stringertom]

He is now a UUUGGGEEE Krajinovic/Verdasco fan.

Cheer for Americans in Paris! Go Isner! Go Sock!

 

[tennisCabbit]

Isner wins and saves (kills??) tennis for the year.

 

[Red Rick]

PCB will still get the spot first if Isner or Sock pass him with the Bercy title.

Huh? How is that?

 

[marc45]

He is now a UUUGGGEEE Krajinovic/Verdasco fan.

Cilic too

 

[stringertom]

That's it boys

Neil Young's "The Needle And The Damage Done" can't be improved upon.

 

[marc45]

He is now a UUUGGGEEE Krajinovic/Verdasco fan.

and Benne

 

[stringertom]

Huh? How is that?

Either will pass PCB if they win the title.

 

[Red Rick]

I learnt it in Dutch classes in high school lol. It's almost the same in English

 

[peRFection]

WTF did Delpo said to Isner?
Isner looks like embarassed.

The possum kid. Always cry like a baby.

 

[Goosehead]

depressing toilet result. boo hiss.

 

[Sudacafan]

Being Delpo fan is unhealthy.

 

[chut]

Now let's hope for a Benneteau/Isner final with Isner winning, saving us from PCB and Benneteau graciously taking 2nd place again

 

[YellowFedBetter]

Glad I didn’t see this.

I mean Isner seems like a good guy, but as far as tennis goes he can bug off.

 

[Silence]

Red Rick's heroin dealer.

Isn’t that just called OxyContin in the US?

 

[Meles]

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

Murray at his best barely got the job done last year.

 

[stringertom]

Isn’t that just called OxyContin in the US?

Fentanyl is the new opioid of choice. RIP Prince.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Fun w fast court low bouncing tennis?

Anyway, the break on final set was out of the blue. One rare moment to see Delpo fligh out of a match in a such important moment. No way should that break gotten through, and Delpo got caught in psyco mental breakdown there.
I still don't understand what was that finger tip licking?
