2019 ATP Acapulco Final - [2] Alexander Zverev vs. Nick Kyrgios

[Service Ace]

Kyrgios plays the way Djokovic used too before he became boring and consistent

 

[oldmanfan]

4 (or 5?) dropshots in one game XD

 

[TennisLBC]

Nick needs to break here!

 

[Tennease]

Dropshots is Zverev's Kryptonite.

 

[-NN-]

Zverev often has to resist way behind the baseline because he needs time and he lacks the elite athleticism.

So far I make it that he's hit about 6 good droppers and 5 bad ones.

Make that 7 and 5.

7 and 6.

 

[jm1980]

Nick's droppers

 

[oldmanfan]

Just take it to a TB at least

 

[jm1980]

7 and 6.

The dropper wasn't that bad, but the f*** was that follow up shot?

 

[Deon Sanders]

Unfortunate both players cant lose

 

[oldmanfan]

no look pass, then nonchalant block volley lol

 

[icedevil0289]

nice return

 

[oldmanfan]

wait... is NK gonna break from 0-40 down?

 

[-NN-]

Where is this returning coming from? Please be a sign of things to come.

 

[icedevil0289]

hold sascha please. or not. he really doesnt have much of a plan does he and just is hell bent on trying to get to every ball, should have just lat that go

 

[BeatlesFan]

What a point!

 

[fundrazer]

Shot selection be darned.

 

[oldmanfan]

Where is this returning coming from? Please be a sign of things to come.

Somebody mentioned pre-wall Djokr.... Nick thought post wall-Djokr

 

[-NN-]

Again Nick makes an admirable return and gives himself the chance to break but goes for the absurdly difficult dropper and misses.

 

[icedevil0289]

damn nick!

 

[oldmanfan]

wow, that bh return to Z's FH side.

 

[-NN-]

Zverev's net skill is just atrocious.

Kyrgios breaks.

 

[BeatlesFan]

YES!!!!!!!!!

 

[fundrazer]

Good point for the break. Could be enough of a momentum swing to end the match.

 

[Krish0608]

Where did Kyrgios find this level this week. It's been astounding.

 

[-NN-]

Not that confident Nick will hold till the end to win. He's not having the best serving day... to make up for it he's having a good old return day.

 

[jm1980]

Zverev coming to the net with predictable results

Broken from 40-0 up

 

[oldmanfan]

Nick DiD break from 0-40 down.. is he channeling the Nadal in him? That Nadl celebration too..

 

[3fees]

Zverev maybe finnish.

Cheers

[LETitBE]

the drop shots are bending zerevs mind,it doesnt matter if they are perfect all the time or not LOL

 

[Tennease]

LoL entertaining exhibition stuff by Kyrgios. Lobs, smash, dropshots, reflex volleys. He's toying Zverev at will. And he broke Z.

 

[Dolgopolov85]

Is it finally coming together for Kyrgios? Hope so.

 

[-NN-]

Zverev coming to the net with predictable results

Broken from *40-0 up

I wonder how often that's happened - lol.

 

[oldmanfan]

Not that confident Nick will hold till the end to win. He's not having the best serving day... to make up for it he's having a good old return day.

I think he had his fun, so he's gonna hold til trophy now.

 

[icedevil0289]

i'm really impressed with nick for staying the course. dissapointed with zverev though because i was hoping this would be a tight match

 

[tennisaddict]

Nick's drop shots are A++.

 

[TennisLBC]

Side note: Is there a worse crowd than this tournament?

 

[MajesticMoose]

Nick is basically unbeatable if he plays like this and is this engaged in a match. Fedalovic wouldn't have a chance.

 

[oldmanfan]

Where did Kyrgios find this level this week. It's been astounding.

Nadl effect

 

[-NN-]

Dude find your first serve and stop double faulting.

 

[Krish0608]

Nick is nervous though. Gotta serve it out. No lapses here.

 

[FRV]

Nick is basically unbeatable if he plays like this and is this engaged in a match. Fedalovic wouldn't have a chance.

I think you're getting carried away. Zverev hasn't been playing too well.

 

[augustobt]

I have the impression that Damian Steiner umpired all of Kyrgios matches in Acapulco

 

[Krish0608]

Please Nick. Not again.

 

[Shank Volley]

Kyrgios plays the way Djokovic used too before he became boring and consistent

When I was younger the local club I played for had a sign inside that said "Get flashy or get out, no 'consistency' players allowed." It was repeatedly removed and then put back up by someone who I wish I could say was me.

 

[augustobt]

Slip Kyrgios

 

[tennisaddict]

you need couple of guys outside top 30 who can always take out the top guys when they play their best. No one better than Nick after Gulbis.

 

[-NN-]

2 bps saved 40-40.

 

[oldmanfan]

2 FH serves, 2 freebies, is that so hard to figure out Nick?

 

[jm1980]

Two enormous serves to erase 15-40 deficit

 

[Benben245]

Dear Nike,
Nick is either sagging or needs some shorts that fit.
