2018 Madrid Masters SF: Alexander Zverev [2] vs Denis Shapovalov

[marc45]

back on serve, Kvitova 4-3 in the 3rd

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I hope the WTA match goes on for another 3 hours. Has the goat longest tiebreak ever just so maybe it might teach some a little respect. Wouldn't count on it. Sometimes I do dare to dream.

 

[BeatlesFan]

What hell having to wait for these screaming women to pack it in and END this crap!

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

As torturous as it is waiting for women's matches to end for a mens match to start, Kvitova winning is pretty much always a good thing.

 

[marc45]

Kvitova wins in nearly 3 hours

 

[Texas]

Postponed until 21:50, then the WTA final finished at 21:30 but they still postponed this game again until 22:05, ALRIGHTY THEN

 

[Poisoned Slice]

That was my Muzziah moment. Now please hurry up and start.

Can only take so much of Greg ''I will contradict you'' Rusedski. I do want to see a battle of the sexes match with Annabel vs Greg. Handicap is Greg has to play with his right hand.

 

[Standaa]

Every time. Every time there’s a WTA borefest scheduled before a match I look forward to the women just HAVE TO play 3 sets. Every damn time. I’m starting to think they do it on purpose to p*ss me off.

You're suffering among many. These boring-azz women invariably play a 3.5 hour, 6-7, 7-6, 7-6 bore-freakin'-fest, right before a much anticipated men's match. Happens 90% of the time, literally.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Greg is now doing the overexaggerated hand gestures. Help me.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Somebody listened. They have now switched over to the highlights of Murray vs Nadal from Madrid 2015.

 

[albertobra]

Jesus it's gonna take half an hour to clean all that paper.

 

[Red Rick]

Putting this match after the women's final is a ****ing disgrace.

 

[abmk]

What's with this asinine scheduling? Who starts a men's semifinal in a Masters 1000 at 9:30 pm? Whoever wins this match has a disadvantage compared to Thiem. I realize they're all very young players and all should have plenty left in the tank tomorrow, but this is ridiculous. If the Z-Shapo match goes three sets, they'll be finishing up their presser at 3:00 am.

I agree. They should've started the day at 11:30 AM/12:00 PM, not 1:30 PM

 

[Your Hero]

Great match so far. Shap sure got tall all of the sudden.
And when did he dye his hair? So many changes afoot. It's
getting hard to keep up.

They probably do it so that more people talk about their match. They do but not in the way they would like to, of course.

 

[Legend of Borg]

LMAO they're replaying one of muzziah's 7 wins against hafa

i guess you gotta really milk those wins for all they're worth

maybe the spanish TV is replaying their 2014 RG encounter

 

[Meles]

Please not again.

This is not some jinx post against shapo.
Ive been saying since shanghai zverev has flattered to deceive and later i think shapo will tear him apart.
Shapo does everything bigger here now in 2018 and with zedrots cumbersome movement i can see him getting creamed in straight sets.

I am sure there are better things to do in Madrid at 9pm than watch Zed vs Shaps.

Crappy schedule.

A digrace, an scandal, a outrage!

I was just searching for the template for this and found that you had just beat me to it

 

[RF-18]

Excite for this one!

Go shapo

This was the Nadal schedule of course.

The scary thing is everything is pretty much true about Zedrot in my post.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Here they come. Hyped.

inimitable "so good or unusual as to be impossible to copy; unique."

Arvev.

lol

 

[Meles]

I like more the Thiem-Zverev matchup, Shapovalov couldn’t beat Thiem on slow HC , Now imagine on Clay...

Shap'll have more time to goat on his backhand on clay; been doing it all week.

 

[Legend of Borg]

wtf was that pronunciation

i'm ded

 

[existential dread]

That digital coin flip is ripe for an old-man rant.

 

[Plamen1234]

Dont know why some people get so excited about this match..It will be straight set victory for Zverev most probably,not much intrigue at all.

 

[La Grande]

#teamdenis ,naturally

 

[Standaa]

i'm ded

Was it Shapo’s name?

 

[Pagoo]

Kvitova wins in nearly 3 hours

Wrong thread mate!

 

[flyingboris]

Shapo looking totally relaxed.. I think I'm more excited for this match than he is!

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Women should be banned from becoming professional tennis players.

In dr lexus case I think it's rather

Imitable : capable or worthy of being imitated or copied

meles thinks zed's gonna get rekt so it might have some intrigue

even if it is just to see him get another prediction wrong ))))))))

 

[Zebrev]

What hell having to wait for these screaming women to pack it in and END this crap!

For someone who complains about Z in every post, you sure seem in a hurry to watch his tennis.

 

[Zebrev]

meles thinks zed's gonna get rekt so it might have some intrigue

He better not.

 

[existential dread]

In my day all coin flips were analog. Damn indolent youngsters.

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Zverev will annihilate Shapo and cement his rightful place as the leader of the next generation!

This jinx thing is way too easy.

 

[Meles]

meles thinks zed's gonna get rekt so it might have some intrigue

By the book it should be Zverev easily, but Shapo to me is throwing out the book on clay and doing things his own way. I've honestly not thought much about a real pick on the match as Thiem is likely screwed either way. Zverev ready to beat Thiem and of course red hot Shapo could hit through Thiem.

i'm not sure it's the tennis she's watching

 

[Meles]

I'm in a complex state of pessimism/jinxism that even leaves me confused. This match though.

So, your final, honest pick for this match?

Who in how many sets?
