2019 ATP Miami - QF: Big Foe vs Shapo

[acintya]

Federer 6:0?

did he really sign some pact with the devil?
its quite popular

 

[flyingboris]

That kid knows how to groove

 

[Meles]

Quick break, no ten minute job from Foe.

 

[Atherton2003]

Not only does Tiafoe walk on his toes...but he also walks on the sides of his feet and never touches his heels to the ground. How he doesn't fall flat on his face is beyond me.

 

[Sparlingo]

OK Shapo, time to shine.

 

[Atherton2003]

Come on Shapo.....I wanna see a Shapo/Fed match next.

 

[JustBob]

Nobody wants to spoil the Swiss maestro's balletic grace with American obesity.

 

[Atherton2003]

This was way more than a little meat...more like a huge rump roast....but "more bounce to the ounce" is definitely a good thing...within reason of course.

 

[Meles]

from zero to hero; Foe 2 points to break

 

[flyingboris]

This thread ever so slowly going off the rails..

 

[Atherton2003]

Fed took some prune juice before the match is moving better than I've seen in quite some time

 

[Sparlingo]

Nice construction there by Shapo after almost losing with 40 love

 

[acintya]

This thread ever so slowly going off the rails..

we are the Derailers

 

[Atherton2003]

Shapo is going to lose...unfortunately...but Fed will trounce Tiafoe in the next round

 

[flyingboris]

Fed took some prune juice before the match is moving better than I've seen in quite some time

They had cameras in the bathroom?

 

[Atherton2003]

Fed should be nice and give Anderson a game.

 

[Meles]

1 all and Foe DFs to 15-30....

 

[acintya]

fed hit some really devilish balls

 

[Meles]

15-40, 128 T Ace by Foe...

 

[The Green Mile]

So cheap man, that cross-court forehand hasn't been bothering you at all... Deuce.

 

[Meles]

Shapo blasts FH to FH for another BP....

 

[acintya]

cant wait for tommorow. i havent drink milk a few months. when i will wake up its corn flakes time

 

[Meles]

Unreal drop slice volley goes back into net. deuce for Foe

 

[Meles]

Shapo drop volley and BP....

 

[The Green Mile]

What is with these drop volleys!? Multiple pieces of magic from both guys this match.

 

[BeatlesFan]

What a volley from Denis!

 

[Sparlingo]

That's my boy Shapo

 

[Meles]

Shapo breaks! Shapo breaks! 2-1

 

[flyingboris]

Unreal drop slice volley goes back into net. deuce for Foe

Thanks for telling me in advance when I need to pay attention

 

[The Green Mile]

Tiafoe smashing the racquet on ends.

 

[acintya]

i like to like

 

[Meles]

Mighty Foe throws racket down into bag in disgust. He's in a bind as Shapo won't be easy to break.

 

[Atherton2003]

so the Isner semi is tomorrow and the other semi (with these 2 matches tonight) will be played on Saturday with no day of rest for Finals? Seems like unfair, poor planning.

 

[flyingboris]

Is it still called a half volley when you do it standing on your toes?

 

[Atherton2003]

ESPN2 is showing the wrong match...they should show the younger guys...much more exciting match.

 

[Atherton2003]

what is happening in Shapo match? The scores shows the same thing for 10 minutes.

 

[nounforcederrors]

Dancevic in 4

Can't wait until next year, Polansky v. Pospisil in the final

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Let’s go Big Foe!

 

[The Green Mile]

Shapo serving for the match at 5-2, yay

 

[BeatlesFan]

Hold his serve and Denis will finally meet (presumably) Fed!

 

[flyingboris]

OK that was too many UE to be really exciting..

 

[nounforcederrors]

why the heck is ESPN showing the women's match? Nobody cares about that.....I wanna see Shapo vs. Tiafoe. I only get Tennis Channel which is showing a Nadal match from 2 years ago and ESPN which is showing a women's match over an exceptional qf match for men. Absolutely ridiculous.

It's about $90/year, but TennisTV.com is available, showing men's tennis only, with replays if you missed live action. They used to show both women and men, then cut out women's matches a couple of years ago. They're pretty spotty on doubles matches, which I like for speed, lightning-flash net action. Kontinen used to be very entertaining, but he's gaining weight and slowing down.

 

[Leelord337]

my prayers have been answered...federer vs shapo! woohoo

 

[BeatlesFan]

Relax with the double break, Denis.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Denis into the semis!!!!!

 

[The Green Mile]

Good match

 

[flyingboris]

Shapo does it. TFO kind of went away in that last set, not quite the explosive finish I was hoping for.

[TheIntrovert]

What is it about Miami that allows underdogs, and young players specifically to shine through. Is it because it’s straight after Indian Wells so top players are tired?

 

[The Green Mile]

 

[flyingboris]

Just in time to see Fed lose in three.
