2019 ATP Rome Masters

[Otacon]

223 kph on 2nd serve trailing 15-40 Big LOL

 

[romeo8880]

Cilic down a break in the 2nd to Andrea Basso

 

[Otacon]

So who did Fed push out of Rome with his late entry? A qualifier?

Fed was on the entry list since day 1.

So who did Fed push out of Rome with his late entry? A qualifier?

Late entry? He was always in the draw. Also there would have someone being pushed INTO the draw if a player like Federer doesn’t play a masters, but surely not the other way around.

 

[Rogfan]

223k/h second serve to save a bp. Very Kyrgios indeed. Wonder if it’s the fastest 2nd serve on record?

 

[Shank Volley]

Did Kyrgios just serve out a match with 4 aces in a row?

 

[romeo8880]

Did Kyrgios just serve out a match with 4 aces in a row?

Yes, yes he did

[underground]

What I actually don't understand is how Nick's demeanor has actually got worse over the years.

 

[Tennease]

Kyrgios Legend rofloooooool

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

I think Kyrgios' coach told him to do all those weird shots and dropshots, knowing that Medvedev is injured.

kyrgios coach... you mean he told that to himself ?
(he has a coach now ?)

good clay win for him...
might even end up seeded for RG after rome!

[heninfan99]

Fed was on the entry list since day 1.

Didn't know since he seemed to make a big announcement about entering it recently

Average 2nd serve ace for Tricksy.

Zverev serves 2 double faults and already broken to go down 2-0.

 

[romeo8880]

Zverev had 0-40 at 5-5 in the first set. Didn’t break. Then got broken to lose the set 7-5. For some reason tennis channel thinks people care about the Tiafoe Sousa match

 

[romeo8880]

Zverev will definitely retire from tennis soon. Just double faulted to get broken again. Top 10 player?

 

[tennis tom]

Why no handshake for the chair after Taifoe loss to Sousa? Just woke up for tie-break so didn't see if Tiafoe had a beef with chair ump--"heard" he was unhappy with the slippery pink clay--such language!--maybe they should bring back the blue clay. Why no handshake with ump?

There was a point in the match that the ball went out when Sousa hit it. The ump came and overruled it and said it was in. Tiafoe argued and said he was looking at the wrong mark. He was not happy. I guess that’s why lol

 

[romeo8880]

Does anybody expect Zverev to hold here?

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Damn, Kyrgios could be sitting on several Slams right now if he had a heart.

Ftfy, mate.

 

[stringertom]

ABZ fans rejoice!

 

[romeo8880]

Damn, Kyrgios could be sitting on several Slams right now if he had a brain.

Same with that bum Zverev

 

[I Am Finnish]

ABZ cult:

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Zverev = Pathetic

 

[I Am Finnish]

Same with that bum Zverev

Z has a brain but he has some personal issues

 

[Red Rick]

ZVEREV ROFLMAO

 

[Big_Dangerous]

ABZ fans rejoice!

 

[rUDin 21]

My God Zverev is awful this season.Another double fault at 30-30 in the last game.

 

[I Am Finnish]

This Berrettini guy is good

 

[I Am Finnish]

ABZ fans rejoice!

Cult

 

[EllieK]

I'm going to play contrarian and pick Zverev to win this.
Djokovic has nothing to prove so I'm not sure what his motivation is.
Nadal is STILL the favorite unless an injury comes to light.
Thiem is my sentimental favorite but I fear he will crash out early to some Lajovic type.
Fed is silly for playing this. He should be out playing on grass somewhere.

Zverev is out already

 

[romeo8880]

Zverev will be out of the top 25 soon where he belongs. It’s mind boggling that he had such a lucky year in 2018.

 

[Harry_Wild]

M. Berrettini took out Alexander Zverev the great millennial potential top #1 in 5-10 years from now in 1st round action. 7-5, 7-5! Is Lendl still with Zverev? Ouch for Lendl if he is coaching Zverev!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Just notice that Kyrgios got a big win over Mevedev in three setter 6-3, 3-6, 6-3!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Tiafoe lost - 1st round to Sousa, in another 3 setter match the last two sets were tiebreakers!

 

[romeo8880]

Zverev’s side of the draw is wide open. Who will make the semis? Nishikori?

 

[3fees]

Wow several players became finnish in the 1st round, I quess they forgot to throw 3 coins in the fountain, blnt.

McFly d Stanimal 46 60 62
Berrentini d A Zverev 75 75
Saint Nick d Medvedev 63 36 63
Vinolas d Monfils 63 61

Cheers

[Federer and Del Potro]

So who did Fed push out of Rome with his late entry? A qualifier?

Nadal unfortunately.

Kyrgios:

Why not the Zedraffe tamer, Berrettini? Since M-C 1R loss to Dimitrough he was beaten just once and that was the second of two matches played the same day (Munich final to Garin in 3 sets). He’s also playing at home.

 

[George Turner]

It's a mystery how Zverev isn't doing better. He serves big, has solid, powerful groundstokes, and is a genetic freak.

I can only put it down to a severe lack of confidence.

Had a decent run in Madrid and played well against Tsitsipas

His second serve is pathetic and he does not have powerful ground strokes. He just pushes the ball back into play about 90% of the time.

 

[George Turner]

LOL how weak is DimiFAG!!!!!!

Lol wut? HE was 3-1 up final set like 10 minutes ago!

 

[Paulreedsmith]

Yep got broken after a beyond pathetic servicegame.

 

[George Turner]

His second serve is pathetic and he does not have powerful ground strokes. He just pushes the ball back into play about 90% of the time.

He does have power. The pushing is a result of lack of current lack of confidence.

He'll never win playing a pushy brand of tennis, he needs to get it sorted between the ears.

 

[mike danny]

LOL how weak is DimiFAG!!!!!!

Well, Struff has improved this year and will maybe be top 30 at some point.
