2019 Basel SF Federer vs Tsitsipas: Why not beat the Big 3 twice?

[Breakpointerer]

That's a great hold by Stef

 

[BeatlesFan]

Huge hold early from the Greek, Fed should have broken.

Huge hold early from the Greek, Fed should have broken.

Not much he could do on those BPs.

 

[Third Serve]

Tsits did well saving those BPs. Not a whole lot Fed could do.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Gutsipas holds

 

[Meles]

Both look pretty good in opening games.

 

[Frank Bannister]

Nothing Fed can do when Tsits hits all 1st serves on BP. They weren't blown.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Been a cracking start.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Awesome point

 

[Third Serve]

Sexi volley

 

[MeatTornado]

That's a lot of effort for a 38 year old to make and not even win the point.

 

[BeatlesFan]

I'm impressed with Tsitsipas' BH, he's improved this shot this year, even since clay season.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Tsitsi sending down 2 DF

 

[Breakpointerer]

Loud roar from Fed

 

[BeatlesFan]

BP AGAIN!

 

[Meles]

Loud roar from Fed

Roarerer

 

[Breakpointerer]

Tsitsi saves again

 

[Pheasant]

Arrrgh!! 0/4 on break points!

 

[jss]

That looked it was out?

 

[BeatlesFan]

So sick of Fed never breaking.

 

[Meles]

BP AGAIN!

jinx hehe

 

[Breakpointerer]

5th BP..

 

[MeatTornado]

Tsits so ballsy on BPs. It's one of the reasons I was so enticed by his game when I first saw him last year.

 

[guitarra]

Stef is incredibly clutch

 

[Rogfan]

Did Fed give the line umpire a nasty look?

 

[Breakpointerer]

Ah damn

 

[Meles]

So sick of Fed never breaking.

hehe

 

[Rogfan]

0/5 and counting....sigh

 

[Breakpointerer]

Fed has no problem setting up the chances, Tsitsi just incredibly clutch.

 

[MeatTornado]

Great depth from Stef on that BP point. Roger created a lot of FHs for himself but couldn't be offensive on any of them because of the depth.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Fed is allowing Tsits to dictate, so stupid. He needs to be more aggressive on the BP's and stop waiting for the opponents errors. Take it to him, dammit! He should throw in a SABR just to screw mentally with him.

 

[Meles]

Boom. BP 6

 

[Breakpointerer]

COME ON!!

 

[Third Serve]

COME JET SKI

 

[Rogfan]

Finally! He should have no problem with bp from this point on

 

[Breakpointerer]

Fed is pumped

 

[jss]

Fed seems to put high shots on Tsitsipas' BH? He is pretty tall, wonder how effective that is

 

[Rogfan]

I was going to say I wouldn’t mind a df on bp to break the bad vibe

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

COME JET SKI

How does the 38 year old mighty federal outplay a 21 year old I repeat

 

[Meles]

Noooooooooooooo

 

[Breakpointerer]

How does the 38 year old mighty federal outplay a 21 year old I repeat

hitman can you answer

 

[Meles]

They are both baselining it today

No duh. He builds his schedule around peaking for Basel.

Wimbledon = warm-up

Laver Cup = getting serious

Basel = Peaking Peakerer

 

[Third Serve]

Tsits misfiring now

"Best tennis he's played since Wimbledon" says commie

Probably true, but that's a very low bar. He was garbage in Cincy and at the USO, LC is an exo and he was atrocious against Zverev in China.

Netr.

 

[Rogfan]

Medvedev had lots of trouble with that deuce court out wide serve too, last time they played
