2018 Rogers Cup SF - [4] Kevin Anderson vs Stefanos Tsitsipas

4 top 10 wins in row

Unprecedented, no?

Pass me the Titties.

[Nadalgaenger]

Can’t believe you’re seriously asking this question here...

I’m rooting for Khachanov tonight because I’m risk averse! I fear typical Nadalian brutality on Tsitsipas’ 1HBH tomorrow.

 

[mike danny]

Probably not. You have to be unseeded for it to be possible, need 5 top 10 players to be in your part of the draw, need them to all win through. Then there's the small matter of actually beating them.

Even if Tsitsi doesn't win, his Toronto run has impressed me more than any of Zverev's masters titles.

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Congrats to Tsitsi on a great win and campaign.

Nadal will most likely beat him tomorrow, but anyone but Anderson in the final.

Don’t underestimate Khachanov. His game can give Nadal problems.

 

[TheFifthSet]

I doubt it.

Probably not. You have to be unseeded for it to be possible, need 5 top 10 players to be in your part of the draw, need them to all win through. Then there's the small matter of actually beating them.

Yeah, scouring the web, looks like nobody has done it.

What a feat that would be.

 

[Tiki-Taka]

Don’t worry, Khachanov will have many more chances to win Masters.

I am sure both of them will, but now I want to see Masters #33.

 

[mike danny]

Don’t underestimate Khachanov. His game can give Nadal problems.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Stephanos - after he shook Anderson’s hand he went straight to the court to cheer when Anderson went to shake the ump’s hand

"He cracked at the end", says Tsitsi on Anderson

"I knew he would break down", Tsitsi on Djokovic

some will like this, they will be remembered by others

 

[I Am Finnish]

Tsonga did the same in 2014 and also in Toronto

defeated: Djokovic, Murray ,Dimitrov & Fedr, Then won the title


@Hitman

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

So do you guys want Nadal in the final or Khachanov?

i'm a bit confused by this question... why would anyone want the nadal to win a point let alone a match ?

 

[NoleFam]

Even if Tsitsi doesn't win, his Toronto run has impressed me more than any of Zverev's masters titles.

Well Tipsy beat both of the recent Wimbledon finalists and Zverev so that is more impressive than beating a broke back Federer, erratic Thiem, and famished Djokovic.

 

[mike danny]

All this time we have been hyping up the wrong guys.

Tsitsi for the win. Let's see Zverev or Shapo achieve what he did.

Tsitsi could go one better...

I don’t think it was a deliberate slight though. He was just in the moment. I hope I’m not wrong about that.

 

[Krish872007]

Well this is a real statement - 4 Top 10 players in a row
No mean feat to get rid of Thiem, Djokovic, Zverev and Anderson back-to-back. Not sure about the guy's fitness levels yet, so we'll see how he holds up in the final tomorrow

 

[AndyM]

Catching off in with a chance against the bull

 

[mike danny]

Well Tipsy beat both of the recent Wimbledon finalists and Zverev so that is more impressive than beating a broke back Federer, erratic Thiem, and famished Djokovic.

Let's not call him Tipsy. Reminds me of Tipsarevic who in his dreams would not achieve what Tsits has done.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Y'all will so turn your backs on Tsitsi if he gets butchered by the Bull tomorrow.

 

[Sysyphus]

Well done Tsits.

I suspect that of the players who'll contend for slams in coming years, he'll be one of the few I'll pull for.

 

[Deleted member 756486]

I am sure both of them will, but now I want to see Masters #33.

32 is plenty and I am humbled to have achieved so much, no?

@vive le beau jeu !

 

[ak24alive]

Don’t underestimate Khachanov. His game can give Nadal problems.

He doesn't have a plan B. Can't keep firing the whole match and when you cease playing your best then Nadal strikes. See the Cilic match. I would like to be proven wrong but I think Bull has this.

 

[reaper]

Even if Tsitsi doesn't win, his Toronto run has impressed me more than any of Zverev's masters titles.

He plays with a lot more freedom and spontaneity than Zverev who always wants to be gifted tight matches. Tsitsipas has the will to win them through his own shotmaking.

 

[I Am Finnish]

"He cracked at the end", says Tsitsi on Anderson

"I knew he would break down", Tsitsi on Djokovic

some will like this, they will be remembered by others

did he really said that?

 

[Deleted member 743561]

Y'all will so turn your backs on Tsitsi if he gets butchered by the Bull tomorrow.

Why do you think I was so put off by the Cilic choke last night. Khachanov and Tsitsipas have gotten drubbed by Nadal. Absolutely clobbered. Neither has taken so much as a set.

 

[Sysyphus]

Yeah.

Thiem–Djokovic–Zverev–Anderson

amazing run.

 

[mike danny]

Y'all will so turn your backs on Tsitsi if he gets butchered by the Bull tomorrow.

I expect that to happen.

Still can't ignore 4 straight top 10 wins this event.

 

[ak24alive]

Okay so there are two players I like from the next gen.
Hyeon Chung- Baby shadow Djoker.
Tsits- Baby Shadow Fedr.

Because Nadal is...

Finish this sentence for me @MichaelNadal

 

[I Am Finnish]

@Meles you are done with hyping Z?

 

[mike danny]

Hyeon Chung- Baby shadow Djoker.
Tsits- Baby Shadow Fedr.

Hyeon Chung hasn't done much really.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

What a great surprise he could make if so far!
It's not a coincidence.

 

[AlexanderTheGreat08]

i'm a bit confused by this question... why would anyone want the nadal to win a point let alone a match ?

Cause he’s the best and the cutest

 

[Deleted member 756486]

@Meles you are done with hyping Z?

He’s under 25 so no way.

Maybe will hype me as well since I’m under 25.

 

[Thundergod]

Well Tipsy beat both of the recent Wimbledon finalists and Zverev so that is more impressive than beating a broke back Federer, erratic Thiem, and famished Djokovic.

You can just say Thiem. He's always erratic.

 

[EllieK]

Hyeon Chung hasn't done much really.

Too many injuries.

 

[Deleted member 743561]

Because Nadal is...

Finish this sentence for me @MichaelNadal

Let's hope he's got some classic moves queued up. Lawnmower, shopping cart, running man, you name it. But these youngsters have got a thing or two to learn.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Jesuipas

 

[ak24alive]

Hyeon Chung hasn't done much really.

I know but I like him. He can play some real good tennis. His serve is poor but I love his groundstrokes and flexibility.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

It won't be long until Stefanos is holding the strings. And then they will fear him.

Rafa’s lessons are free of charge.

@Hitman
then tsonga lost in the next match to youzhny in cincinnatti

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Zoning servebots have historically given Nadal problems. Khachanov is actually more than a servebot. He has a powerful ground game and, like Tsitsipas, just needs experience and increased confidence to become even more dangerous.

My money is on Khachanov tonight!

 

[ak24alive]

He’s under 25 so no way.

Maybe will hype me as well since I’m under 25.

But you are an old soul.

 

[Atennisone]

He has mostly played terrible this year. I can't remember one good match of his.
