2019 ATP 250 MercedesCup: General Discussion

[Harry_Wild]

Congrats to Kudla! He been missing match wins by very close misses!

 

[Down_the_line]

The #1 seed and #5 player in the world Alexander Zverev is up next against Dustin Brown.

 

[Yugram]

Khachanov clearly has some unsolved business with these Italian guys.

 

[Harry_Wild]

The #1 seed and #5 player in the world Alexander Zverev is up next against Dustin Brown.

This just starting now too! I am hoping Dustin get the upset!

 

[romeo8880]

3 double faults already in the first game for Zverev!

 

[Red Rick]

Dustin Brown is Dustin Browning

 

[Harry_Wild]

Dustin breaks and is serving at 2-1!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Dustin holds 3-1!

 

[romeo8880]

Brown needs a haircut

 

[EloQuent]

Brown needs a haircut

I bet you also think Benwa needs a shave

 

[romeo8880]

I bet you also think Benwa needs a shave

Nope but browns hair is the reason his career has been so insignificant. Can’t play well with that holding you down

 

[chola800]

a top club player would beat this zverev, wish i was joking

 

[Harry_Wild]

Dustin Brown takes 1st set 6-4! LOL!

 

[Down_the_line]

I'm really really hoping Felix can win his maiden title here. The rest of top players in the field clearly aren't ready to play this week.

Dustin wins 1 set over Zverev!

 

[Yugram]

LOL, Sisipas being mug once again. Another series of line call complaints, DF while serving at 30-30 to stay in the match.

Go post another philosophical nonsense. No wonder maestronians like this guy.

 

[Down_the_line]

Zverev up an early break in the 2nd. That's more like it.

Wind picked up like a hurricane in the final service game. Also broke jarry a couple games earlier but the fake challenge system said the ball was on the line.

 

[romeo8880]

Can’t see Zverev losing this match. Brown is REALLY bad

 

[Yugram]

Yeah, it’s all the wind and challenges being fake. Sounds like we are talking about Fedr’s match.

 

[romeo8880]

Well if you watched the match maybe you’d understand

 

[Red Rick]

Lendl right now

 

[Red Rick]

I can't believe Brown choked that volley

 

[romeo8880]

Hahahahahaha at that challenge by Zverev

 

[MugOpponent]

My Satellite isn't working. I want to see the Zverev struggle.

 

[MugOpponent]

I'm really really hoping Felix can win his maiden title here. The rest of top players in the field clearly aren't ready to play this week.

I'd also like to see this but it's probably Raonic's to lose.

 

[3fees]

Tough break for monfils 3rd set tie breaker was his demise

Cheers

Cheers

[EasyGoing]

Z loses to Dustin Brown. Amazing

 

[icedevil0289]

i figured dustin brown would be tricky for sascha and could potentially cause the upset. im ngl even though i really like sascha, i have an appreciate for dustin brown on grass

 

[romeo8880]

Typical Zverev. Had 15-40 and didn’t break. Then got broken

 

[heninfan99]

Time for lendl to move on

 

[FRV]

Dustin Brown is back

 

[rafazx10]

Brutal

 

[EllieK]

14 DF for Zverev. That’s pathetic.

 

[Mainad]

Zverev goes down to Brown in 3.

That's THREE top #10 players out in their opening matches today: Zverev and Khachanov in Stuttgart, Tsitsipas in s'Hertogenbosch.

Not exactly a promising start to their grasscourt season, is it?

No it is not. Pretty sad. Khachanov I’ll give the pass to because Berrettini is playing some great stuff but the other two should be hanging their heads.

 

[Joseph_K]

Dustin Brown has beaten top seed Alexander Zverev 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals in Stuttgart. Although he had two break points at 5-5 in the second set, Brown couldn't convert and lost the ensuing tiebreak. In the final set Zverev had Brown 15-40 at 3-3, but Zverev eventually lost that game before being broken in the next. At 5-3, Brown, persisting with his high-risk serve-and-volley tactics, held to take the set and match.

Can’t see Zverev losing this match. Brown is REALLY bad

 

[FRV]

Zverev always struggles against other Germans for some reason

 

[George Turner]

Awkward match up for Zverev; Dustin has the type of game that throws top quality baseliners who like to have a rhythm off their game. Look at Browns matches against Nadal. I don't think Djokovic would like playing Brown either.

Z needs to fix that second serve though, its hard to hold at a % percentage if you're doublefaulting every game.

 

[Mainad]

No it is not. Pretty sad. Khachanov I’ll give the pass to because Berrettini is playing some great stuff but the other two should be hanging their heads.

Maybe but Khachanov is the top #10 ranked player, not Berrettini (ranked #30) , and to go down in straights winning only 6 games is hardly more encouraging, is it?

 

[George Turner]

Bashanov is not really a grass courter. No surprises here really.

Tsits loss was the most disappointing.

 

[EloQuent]

Dreddy took out the trash.

Technically his second best win ever and only his second top 5 win, I believe.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Great serve and volley play by brown today. Just love it. He beat Zverev’s one dimensional game with the baseline play.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

I would love to see brown take the title. A lot of big names have gone by the waste side.
