2019 Australian Open quarterfinal: Tsitsipas (14) vs Bautista-Agut (22)

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Who is going to reach his first Grand Slam semifinal?

 

[Nadal_Django]

I have Batista in 4...

 

[Zebrev]

Batista in 4.

 

[Atennisone]

Tsitsipas in 5

 

[Tiki-Taka]

Hoping there will be an all Spanish semifinal, just like 10 years ago. Vamos!

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

I love both of these players. I think it will go the distance. I am predicting Bautista Agut in 5 sets, but honestly I will be happy either way!

I am now "anyone but Djokovic" as I love all 11 of the other players still left in the draw!

 

[RS92]

Bautista Agut already played like 14 hours in 4 matches. How much does he have left in the tank?

 

[prairiegirl]

Probably Tsitsipas.

Enough

 

[I Am Finnish]

Tsitsipas in 4 or rba in 5

Not Zverev or Medvedev though.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This is a huge match For Tsitsipas career. How often, do they produce s magical performance to dethrone one of the big3 but can’t follow up losing to very consistent top 20 player like Agut!

Big test for the young Greek as the Spaniard is probably playing the best tennis of his life too. I think this might go 5, which would be perfect for Rafa!

 

[Gazelle]

Knowing Nadal's luck, Bautista will win this in 5, then retire after 5 games in the semifinal.

 

[Krish0608]

Federer beat Sampras at Wimbledon and then went on to lose to Henman in the quarters. So.. Batista in 4 or 5.

 

[RS92]

Chung won the next gen finals in 2017 and made it to the semifinals in the AO 2018. Tsitsipas won the next gen finals in 2018 and now is 1 match away of the semifinals in the AO 2019.

The only difference is that Tsitsipas is not going to retire in the middle of the semifinal if he makes it.

 

[RS92]

Enough

Maybe, but you can't know that for sure.

 

[3fees]

RBA has been playing well yet the Greek fresh off a Federer win, RBA has the edge

Cheers

[acintya]

RBA.

 

[stringertom]

Fresher, younger wheels in 4. RBA tank is on “E”. Maybe straight sets if Patrick Mouratoglou game plans like he did for fedr.

Just imagine if Tsits and Serena are champions of this AO. GOAT coaching achievement!

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Although Bautista is on fire, he must be really tired after all these 5 setter matches he played and he’s getting old. Tsitsipás is young, fresh and very solid. So Tsitsipás in 3.

 

[alexio]

Federer beat Sampras at Wimbledon and then went on to lose to Henman in the quarters. So.. Batista in 4 or 5.

and then henman lost to the coming champion ivanisevic in the SF.. so history can be repeated here)

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Bautista Agut already played like 14 hours in 4 matches. How much does he have left in the tank?

Enough to lose to Nadal like 1-6, 1-6, 2-6 at SF or just retired ala Chung/Carreno Busta.

 

[Sport]

Bautista in 4.

 

[guitarra]

Stafanos in 3 or max 4 sets.

 

[lud]

BA in five sets.
After that he withdraws in semis.

 

[mightyrick]

Bautista-Agut in 4. He's taken Cilic and Khachanov out. Tsitsipas has nothing he can add on top of those guys' skills, IMHO.

 

[icedevil0289]

hopefully tsisipas doesnt fall into the defeat a big player and flop next round. great win but if all does is play spoiler...

 

[Tshooter]

The Tsitsy run stops with Magoo.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

I think Tsitsipas will prevail. He has the calm and poise to make it through. Besides Bautista Agut has played way more tennis and this will likely affect him, especially if it's a long match.

It should be a good one if both bring their A game. Magoo has been really solid.

 

[Tshooter]

Tsitsy should live vlog the match at his YT channel.

[rushhr]

Can't help but think that it doesn't matter who will win. They will eventually run into the blades of the Nadal/Djokovic machine

 

[Pablo1989]

It's gonna be a very interesting match for sure. I don't care who wins, I really like both.

 

[Tshooter]

Can't help but think that it doesn't matter who will win.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

It matters who wins because it's building up their careers. Even if they don't win the tournament going deeper into majors is a big deal!

 

[rushhr]

Lol!
Didn't know mjf did a war flick

You should check it out.

 

[chola800]

RBA in 4 or 5

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

i'm predicting Tsistipas in 3

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Tsitsipas in 5, but with some reservation....RBA wants this for sure!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

My heart might be with Roberto here.

But I want Tsitsipas to do it for the lads.

 

[swordtennis]

RBA has the style to frustrate The Greek kid. Styles make fights!

 

[Dimitris]

I think if it goes to 5, RBA will take it, despite having played the longer matches. Tsitsipas needs to keep the rallies short, attack the net and get going early.
It's gonna be tough but he can do it. ΠΑΜΕ ΣΤΕΦΑΝΕ

I love both of these players. I think it will go the distance. I am predicting Bautista Agut in 5 sets, but honestly I will be happy either way!

I am now "anyone but Djokovic" as I love all 11 of the other players still left in the draw!

Yeah because the other 11 will all lose to Nadal... lol.

Mouratoglou coaches Tsitsipas?

 

[stringertom]

Mouratoglou coaches Tsitsipas?

He was very prominently exhorting Tsits from the player’s box during the fedr match. Tsits has trained at his academy since 2015.

So? The difference between being a quarter-finalist and a semi-finalist matters for its own sake, regardless of the result in the semi-finals.
