Also, VenusGOAT. On a day when no matches are played, she won.

Some epic Rome magic

 

[underground]

I think you're probably right.
It's so damn exciting.
I already sent an email to take a day off tomorrow

To be honest I think the hype will be bigger than reality. Fed v Coric will be close, apart from that Djokodal should all have straightforward matches. Thiem being Thiem might find a way to get knocked out though.

 

[iriraz]

Putting like 6 matches on one court will hardly work on clay.Wouldn`t surprise me if there is like 1 or 2 matches that take 3 hours or so and then u can forget it.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Honestly I would not be surprised if Fed and Novak tank. They dont want/need to have the extra match practice before RG. Novak is in fine form and can peak during RG. Fed probably does not have the highest expectations. Rafa needs the matches to gain confidence

I'd also entertained the notion that there might be a bit of tanking but Djokovic loves playing Rome so I find it hard to believe he will. The schedule really is ridiculous.

So could we have the worst masters of 2019 right after the best masters of 2019?

Unlikely

 

[Ray Mercer]

I think Federer is screwed with that schedule. Coric will be fresh and will make it a grind fest.

 

[NEW_BORN]

Really? Has it ever been used?

Federer - Nadal 2011 SF was played under the roof, their one-and-only indoor clay match.

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Come to think of it none of the Masters tournaments have roofs not even IW (Paris is an indoor event). The only tournaments I can think of that do have them other than the Slams are the 2 German events: Hamburg and Halle.

I guess madrid, shanghai both have...

 

[Otacon]

It's a great day of tennis, I'm ready !

 

[tennis_pro]

137 men's singles matches today. I'm ready as well!

 

[tennis_pro]

Federer could take an hour to beat Sousa but who knows, Coric will be tough even if Fed gets a W/O.

 

[Otacon]

Thiem in his early hara-kiri phase here.

 

[underground]

Federer could take an hour to beat Sousa but who knows, Coric will be tough even if Fed gets a W/O.

Problem is Osaka Cibulkova can easily drag on, Fed might not even finish his first match until 2-3pm

 

[Otacon]

Arrogandasco trailing 0-3

 

[Red Rick]

Pretty sweet crowds for a thursday morning

 

[Red Rick]

So could we have the worst masters of 2019 right after the best masters of 2019?

Could be.

But unless Fognini wins Rome too, nothing is topping MC.

 

[tennis_pro]

I feel for Thiem. He needs to beat Verdasco and Khachanov in one day before he even gets to play Nadal. It would've been tough for a fresh Thiem against a crap version of Nadal but now? lol

 

[Legend of Borg]

Something tells me Timmy isnt surviving Dasco and Safin junior

 

[Tennis_Hands]

Thiem getting broken by Tabasco has to be the highlight of the morning session.

 

[Otacon]

Verdasco hit a 191 kph FH ... what ?

 

[tennis_pro]

Verdasco hit a 191 kph FH ... what ?

That's Verdasco being Verdasco.

 

[Otacon]

Osaka is 3/12 on BP.
Naomi, we don't have time for that today. Thank you

 

[Legend of Borg]

Osaka is 3/12 on BP.
Naomi, we don't have time for that today. Thank you

did Fed retire and decide to teach the WTA some tricks?

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Feder is absolutely toast..
Freaking WTA match isn't over yet

 

[Tennis_Hands]

Imagine if they go into a third set.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Osaka is 3/12 on BP.

Back to back matches on centre court with poor BP conversion? Merry Christmas.

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Imagine if they go into a third set.

Then fed will surely give a walkover to coric
F**k organizers really

 

[Tennis_Hands]

Tabasco breaks again.

LOLza

Trying to top second Monday at Wimbledon

 

[Otacon]

Game set and match Osaka !!

Oh no, everyone was waiting for that match to finish.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Oh no, everyone was waiting for that match to finish.

I see

 

[Tennis_Hands]

After Tabasco screwed Thiem, now it is time for the program to be completely messed up by some high level trolling in the final set.

 

[Legend of Borg]

Fed at the Foro!

bellissimo!

 

[Legend of Borg]

this music is too epic

it sounds like what Roman music would sound like if the empire was still around today

 

[iriraz]

Getting 6 matches done on every court today will be a struggle considering it`s clay and some matches will take 2-3 hours.The question is:will they start a match even after midnight?

 

[Tennis_Hands]

After Tabasco screwed Thiem, now it is time for the program to be completely messed up by some high level trolling in the final set.

And ..... so it begins!

Surely, you mean 'lose quickly and get out of this mess as soon as possible"?

 

[Legend of Borg]

lmao

 

[TheIntrovert]

Don’t think fed wants to play two matches

 

[TheIntrovert]

Looks he does

Don’t think fed wants to play two matches

 

[Legend of Borg]
