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

[Service Ace]

Classless Nadal could learn a thing or two from Zverev on being a good loser.

 

[Raindogs]

This tournament was more entertaining than AO 2019 and it's not even close.

In fairness to Nadal he wanted to win and he's very used to getting things exactly the way he wants.

Kyrgios runs the gauntlet of Nadal/Wawrinka/Isner/Zverev...

Who would've thought this a week ago? Hell, 3 days ago.

maybe the only chance he has to win a GS is to make it through as qualifier so he can play 7 top ranked players in row...

Yes I requested already that he plays Nadal and Federer twice, and Djokovic thrice.

Lol you're probably right.

 

[Shank Volley]

Crowd having trouble clapping during the trophy ceremony. Can't blame them, they spent so long hissing and whistling this week that they probably forgot there's other ways to express themselves.

 

[icedevil0289]

omg sascha is the best as these loser speeches.

 

[Tennease]

that was a sweet hug/handshake.....

They're good friends, growing up together in junior.

 

[oldmanfan]

Z has been so good with speeches as of late!

And funny!!!!!!

 

[icedevil0289]

idc what people say he has a great sense of humor, taking the **** out of nick's "team" and you know nick loved it because he loves trolling too

Imagine if he could lose all the time.

Absolutely.

Zverev wonderful speech!!!!!

he is, he can bratty but i think he can also be nice and has a great sense of humor

 

[icedevil0289]

this should go on the list of odd trophies

i hope he gets what i want!
Nick at IW

lol aww, he;s frustrating as **** but soemtimes i cant help have a soft spot for him

 

[Shank Volley]

"One of my favourite tournaments of the year." Yeah, sure thing Sasha. Nick to come surfing in now on a wave of unapologetic honesty and tell them where exactly their tournament ranks.

What the hell is that trophy a block of wood with a turd on it ?

 

[-snake-]

That was some frantic sh*t. This tourney's had everything. Choking, great displays of clutchness, booing fans, broken rackets, Ned and Z losing. What's not to like?

 

[oldmanfan]

Wow, lifetime commitment to Acapulco from NK, for free! Need contract... maybe text The Fedr...

 

[tennisaddict]

LOL.. Nick does not care for the Sombrero !!

Got to be one of the dumbest trophies in tennis. Because when someone says "Mexico" I immediately think of pears.

He eats Chicago pizza with a fork...

 

[Vanhalen]

He’s going to leave that block of wood that some guy made out of the trash dumpster in his hotel room

 

[oldmanfan]

gotcha Nick!

 

[Deleted member 23235]

that is one ugly trophy.

That slam win should count as 7 slems. Maybe more with adjusted difficulty ratings.

 

[Pablo1989]

Incredible tournament by the Aussie. If he always played like that...

Did he flip them the bird?

Anyway, congrats to Nick on an untypical week. Last week, couldn't get out of bed for Radu. This week, puts down Stan, Rafa, Big Izzie and Sascha one after the other! Go figure??

Title number 5, 2nd at 500 level and 1st in Acapulco. Can he get this motivated for Indian Wells?

Some of The Nadal’s leftover salt would make that pear even sweeter. I always salt my watermelon and it works!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Kyrgios in two!

Got to pat myself on the back.....again!

 

[pman76]

That was fun to watch. Very few clown shots today and the match was very even. Just a few shots here and there made the difference. Zverev is getting better all the time and this rivalry(if Kyrgios decides to show up) is the one to look forward to. Tsitsipas is another one that’s in there, and the variation is what I love to see. Ball bashing gets boring.

He had only himself to blame, whiffing on triple BPs twice and not converting on 3 MPs including his wimpy DF. Instead, he plays the Rodney Dangerfield “no respect” card on Nick in his presser. He has replaced Rosol as the “everybody hates you” villain on the tour.

 

[Vanhalen]

How about that post match interview......are you going to play Indian Wells next week? I’m not even going to think about that, I’m going to party!

I don’t think he will. If he does, he will tank early and hit the beach.

 

[abmk]

saw from 5-3 in the 1st set. some real good stuff from Kyrgios.
The return game to break for the 2nd time in the 2nd set was some ridiculous stuff..
Zverev wasn't as sharp as he should've been.

 

[abmk]

Great run from Kyrgios beating Nadal, Wawrinka, Isner and Zverev.
That's a brutal draw !

 

[Harry_Wild]

Kyrgios goes from 72 to 30ish in the world!

 

[bigservesofthands]

Nick lived up to my moniker today

 

[tennis4me]

It's a strange day in tennis when I find myself rooting for Nick. Impressive run. Great things can happen if he takes tennis a little more seriously like in this tournament.

Congrats on impressive performance in this tournament.

 

[Dilexson]

My man!
Spectacular forehand droppers, damn.

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Awwwwwwwww yeeeeeeeaaaahhh

Bye Zverev lol

 

[NuBas]

Zverev looked terrible today no?

 

[Deleted member 688153]

I just wish he had the mentality to back this up

 

[stringertom]

Kyrgios goes from 72 to 30ish in the world!

#31 to be exact. By losing two TBs to Pella in the São Paulo SF, Djere settles in behind Nick. Pella cannot catch Nick.

 

[chjtennis]

What a week for NK. He lifted his level and looks like he can be a serious contender this year. He's turning 24 in April, an age where a player has to start achieving and fulling his potential. This win and a couple of big wins over Nadal, Wawrinka and also Zverev should boost his morale and make him perform well consistently. I think he'll be a force at Wimbledon where he can just serve his way to the title. He can also do well on USO, but I think Wimbledon can be his best stage to showcase his potential and win his first slam.

 

[toby55555]

Classless Nadal could learn a thing or two from Zverev on being a good loser.

Although Zverev did react angrily to one of Nicks early drop shot winners as though he thought Kyrgios was taking the **** but maybe I misinterpreted his gesture and he was more angry with himself.
