2018 Acapulco - ATP 500

[I Am Finnish]

Thiem or del potro


I think Thiem will prevail this time

 

[mike danny]

They should make Acapulco a masters 1000. A masters 1000 in Mexico would be interesting.

No.There should be at least one Master 1000 on grass.There are 6 hard court masters 1000 already no need for more

Ditch Paris and add a masters 1000 on grass in between.

 

[EloQuent]

Ditch Paris and add a masters 1000 on grass in between.

very much agreed on the ditch Paris idea, but instead of adding 1000s in mexico maybe just add a mid tier? Make Acapulco worth say 650.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

@Federer and Del Potro vs @Meles today

 

[zagor]

@Federer and Del Potro vs @Meles today

I have a feeling @Meles will win this one. I like both guys but I predict Thiem is gonna score his first win over Delpo.

 

[chjtennis]

All of the men's QF will be played on center court while all of women's QF will be played on court 1. Interesting scheduling.

Too many tiers devalues the idea of tiere itself.

Im 100% against grass masters in the 3 weeks before Wimbledon. If you can put together amotano grass swing on the calendar, then great.

yung zverevich breaks

 

[Chadillac]

Anderson really does move and hit well for a guy his size.

 

[SeeingDusk]

Wow. Chung broken from 30-0 up by losing 4 points in a row.

 

[ultradr]

Wow. Chung broken from 30-0 up by losing 4 points in a row.

It must have been hard for Chung to swallow the 1st set.
Chung was better player in the 1st set but not taking 5 break chances vs Kevin was tough.

reminds me monfils losing to zeballos today. must have had over 10 BPs in the third set and couldn't break, including 3 consecutive ones at 0-40. zeballos only needed 1 break and won.

Chung breaks for 4-4, but gives it right back. Anderson will serve for the match.

similar situation in tie-break.

chung still needs to improve his return game, IMHO, granted Kevin has devastating serving games...

 

[Meles]

Del Possum should win this fairly easily. The key will be first serve. If Del Potro is able to rack up the points there then its adios Thiem.

 

[Meles]

Chung

 

[Meles]

Draws are fun.

Was potentially going to be #1 Nadal v #7 Querrey but is now instead Lopez v Donaldson.

Feliciano

 

[Meles]

So the question at this point is Thiem so dumb that he's totally unaware of the Delpo backhand gag?

Aiight @Meles

 

[Chadillac]

Theim looking strong

maybe not

If Delpo keeps thundering in first serves it will be tough for Thiem; clocking them right now at 205-209 kph

 

[Aussie Darcy]

If Kevin Anderson wins the Acapulco title he'll be tied with Goffin at #7. He has no real points to defend til the French Open. Has a real shot at getting top 5.

If it wasn't for his walkabout after the US Open final, he'd be top 5 right now.

LOL. Diego doing coverage for Argentina.

[Meles]

Average groundstroke velocity looks off the charts here; neither Thiem or Delpo slicing much.

mucho gracias

I'm not saying he 'deserves' to be a top 5 player but with a top 10 seeding at upcoming Masters which will give him a bye he'll be able to score some good points for his ranking points in Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo. Thiem, Zverev and Goffin all have a lot of points to defend on clay as well so a great chance for Anderson.

 

[EloQuent]

delpo is wearing the awful nike pink shirt but with black shorts so it doesn't look as bad

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Thiem at the moment

 

[EloQuent]

Delpo is so much better than Thiem it's weird that Thiem is ranked higher.

 

[Meles]

LOL. Thiem has won 0% of 2nd serve points.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Points won by Thiem in his 2nd serve after seven games: zero.

This site tries to load Adobe flash player which is already built-in to my Google Chrome. Then the audio comes on; but no view! LOL! I deleted their version of Adobe Flash since it is not the most updated one from Adobe and it seem to be different somehow to since it got a bigger footprint then the Adobe that I download from Adobe.

just ignore that and hit "close and start watching"

 

[Sereger]

Thiem has double Delpos aces

 

[Meles]

Thiem started out very balanced in this match, but now he seems to have chose to hit even harder as if that's going to work.

Was getting traction trading backhands in the early going.

 

[Harry_Wild]

del Dotpro 6-2!

 

[SeeingDusk]

Del Potro up a set and a break.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

BREAAAAAAK

 

[Meles]

I know Thiem well. Bakery products incoming from Delpo.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

@Meles at the moment:

 

[ghostofMecir]

Them with ZERO plan on any point other than hitting it as hard he possibly can. Really sad to see someone with that much racket speed make it go to waste with absolutely zero plan about what to do any point and employ ZERO strategy.

Sad. @Meles

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Thiem losing because fake girlfriend Mladenovic also lost. Hoping to fly to Indian Wells together

 

[SeeingDusk]

Totally off topic here. But can anyone shed some light on this phenomenon? I’ve been into tennis for a good while now. I’ve noticed over the years that when a player has 2 or 3 consecutive breakpoints at 40-15 or 40-0, they fail to break more often than not. But when they only have one BP, say at 40-30 or A-40, they’re more likely to break. Why is that? Is it because they feel more urgency to break when they have fewer break opportunities? But when they have a few BPs, they think to themselves “oh I have 3 breakpoints, it’s ok to not break on the first two tries.” But before they know it, it’s deuce, and the opponent has all the urgency and momentum to hold serve. Can this be why? Thanks.
