2019 Australian Open 4R - [4] Alexander Zverev vs. [16] Milos Raonic

[Tennease]

Alexander the Great has woken up from the grave.

 

[Gary Duane]

Ivan barely reacting, lol

I saw him clapping once. For Ivan that's like getting all out of control emotionally.

Milos v Zverev 61,61,66,

Cheers

Ivan barely reacting, lol

He barely reacted to Myrray winning WIM, so nothing new. It’s just Lendl.

 

[onyxrose81]

I’m ticked off. Raonic being passive and prolonging this crapfest.

 

[jm1980]

It's TB time!

 

[Terenigma]

Can someone explain why players allow themselves to go down 2 sets before playing well? Berdych did it and now Zverev. I'm not complaining tho, more tennis for me!

 

[Gary Duane]

Well, my experience says that TBs are not necessarily in favor of bots. Maybe we will test that theory.

 

[NuBas]

Zverev now sexy

 

[The Green Mile]

Brilliant backhand cross-court pass for the mini break, only to gift it back with his 10th double fault.

 

[Tennease]

10 double faults Zverev ???? wth

 

[NuBas]

Zverev fighting demons

I'm complaining because you know that when players do this, even if they win they are going to be gassed in the next match.

 

[reaper]

Did that really happen? Lol

I was wrong...it was 29 minutes.

[jm1980]

Double digits in DFs for Zverev

Yikes

 

[Gary Duane]

Let's see if Lendl is still his coach after this fiasco!!!

 

[-snake-]

Meanwhile, what is ESPN advertising?

Cheetah's Club for Men in Hallendale, strip club that is open 7 days a week. What's next? Advertising Pornhub????

Anything but femenism is all right.

No need for Zverev to be gassed after this. He didn't play the first 2 sets.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Would be hilarious to see Zverev win.

 

[I Am Finnish]

2x 6-1 ????????????

 

[The Green Mile]

Milos letting this set slip away...

 

[onyxrose81]

Ugh.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Would be hilarious to see Zverev win.

ABZ would go nuts

 

[Terenigma]

Where is the Murray lob when you need it lol good get from Zverev!

 

[Tennease]

Fedr like Backhand overhead by Alexander the Great.

 

[Deon Sanders]

For once Milos could stop being a mug

And Muglos is back

 

[jm1980]

Why lob?!

 

[flyingboris]

Dearie me, what happened to Raonic at 6-5. Zverev was sending everything back up the middle of the court, low pace, dropping around the service line. How did Raonic not attach every shot? What a weird match this is.

As I type this, Zverev hits a highlight reel worth overhead backhand smash. As I said, weird match..

 

[King No1e]

LETS GO SASCHA!!!!

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

this is nerve-wracking! I have to keep remembering I like Raonic and would be happy for him to win.

I heard a story (probably apocryphal) of two men that played a tour level match that went around 11 hours and took place over three days.

 

[onyxrose81]

I want both to lose at this point.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

oh oh shades of Nadal-Berdych redux....

 

[The Green Mile]

That is so good from Milos, nice response. 5-4.

 

[Deon Sanders]

That was a giraffe and a mall watch stand attendant

 

[Terenigma]

God the people in this thread are stupid. Raonic is playing well = Zverev being garbage is what's happening.
Zverev plays well = Raonic is being a mug.

Are you people just incapable of understanding when there is GOOD tennis? Jesus.

 

[Tennease]

Milosh is back! lol

 

[jm1980]

Tremendous

yes

 

[The Green Mile]

Milos content with that off pace, low skidding slice, love it. Works twice in this TB... MPs again.

 

[Tennease]

Obviously Zverev doesn't like baguette slices

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Congrats to Raonic!

 

[WhiskeyEE]

How do you let Milos with his club level slice draw an unforced error?

 

[Tennease]

MP on Raonic serve. Ace?

 

[jm1980]

More slicebotting for 2 more MP

 

[sredna42]

why the friggin hell doesn't zed step around one of those slow motion slices to just rip an inside out forehand ?

 

[vsdtrek]

Zverev just seems to be hitting from too far back behind the baseline.

 

[Matheson]

It works against Zverev

It's the equivalent of moonballing

 

[-snake-]

Kudos to the washing machine. He played great today.

 

[Terenigma]

VAMOOOS RAONIC!

Enjoyable match for me and Raonic is playing well, should hopefully make the semi in this form.
