2019 Monte-Carlo Final

[Im(moral) Winner]

Two first time master finalists so we'll get a new master winner. Also Lajovic's first final.

 

[tudwell]

Obviously Lajovic.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Obviously Lajovic.

It would be typical of Fabio to beat RAFA then lose to Lajovic

 

[Zardoz7/12]

If Fognini wins does he go into the top ten?

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

If Fognini wins does he go into the top ten?

No, he'd have 2840 points, which would place him at #12. #11 Cilic has 2845 and #10 Isner 3085

 

[Soul_Evisceration]

As much as I love 1HBH players, I feel like Fognini winning this one would be better suited.

Fognini in 3 sets as he will headcase a set for inexplainable Fognini reasons.

 

[underground]

Fog better bloody win this thing, he's beaten Rublev, Zed, Coric and Rafa. As good as a run Lajovic has had it would be laughable if he won M-C.

 

[3fees]

Fabulous Fabio for the win in 2 or 3.

Cheers

One thing's for sure. Come Sunday there will be a brand new Masters 1000 champion to join the 17 current players who have already won at least 1!

 

[Otacon]

The most trollesque final ever ?

 

[Bukmeikara]

The most trollesque final ever ?

Sock - Krajinovic

Fognini at least is a top player on clay

 

[Mainad]

Two first time master finalists so we'll get a new master winner. Also Lajovic's first final.

1st ATP final for Lajovic. 1st at Masters 1000 level for Fognini (8-10 in others).

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

One thing's for sure. Come Sunday there will be a brand new Masters 1000 champion to join the 17 current players who have already won at least 1!

Are you counting GOATredo as a current player?

 

[NBP]

Association of Tennis Professionals Masters 1000 championship match???

 

[Otacon]

Sock - Krajinovic

Fognini at least is a top player on clay

Paris is a trollesque tournament. Doesn't count.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Obviously Lajovic.

Wasn't "obviously Nadal" the pick for the semifinal?

 

[tennis_pro]

Nadal in 2

No, wait

 

[Mainad]

Are you counting GOATredo as a current player?

Well, he's not retired yet, has he?

 

[Standaa]

Fabulouso Clownini in two. Hopefully.

 

[joekapa]

The Fog doesn't need a masters title. It would only tarnish his coolness.

The Serb for the win.

But the Fog wins, even when he loses.

I'm so happy for this final.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Fognini will probably lose since Nadal is out

 

[I Am Finnish]

Association of Tennis Professionals Masters 1000 championship match???

I like him

 

[I Am Finnish]

Lajovic has not lost a set yet impressive

I will root for him cause he was not won a title yet but wouldnt mind if Fognini wins

 

[Djokovic2011]

I like both players but Dusan has more time to win a big title and I feel Fabulous Fabio deserves it after saving the sport in such splendid fashion today.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Fabio in 3.

Well, he's not retired yet, has he?

He may pull the plug after getting a WC into Barca qualifying and losing on his home court today.

 

[stringertom]

One thing's for sure. Come Sunday there will be a brand new Masters 1000 champion to join the 17 current players who have already won at least 1!

Also, except for fedr, the streak of different champions at every tournament this year will continue. It would have also kept going if Nadal was playing tomorrow. That’s 22 different winners at 23 tournaments.

 

[Mainad]

He may pull the plug after getting a WC into Barca qualifying and losing on his home court today.

Maybe. He did say recently that he still enjoys playing so, we'll see.

 

[tudwell]

Wasn't "obviously Nadal" the pick for the semifinal?

Yes but posting that wouldn’t involve ironic hyperbole.

 

[Atennisone]

Really want Lajovic to win this one, don't particularly like any of the players though. Fognini has his attitude and more, while Lajovic match celebrations have been awful this week. Don't think Lajovic stands a chance, but maybe Fognini will need 3 sets to win.

I say Fognini in 3.

 

[rUDin 21]

Lajovic 6-7 6-3 6-4

 

[Enceladus]

An interesting question is, which player in today's final Nole will support. Compatriot Dusan or buddy Fabio?

 

[Red Rick]

I have a question for people who root for Lajovic here.

Why the **** are you posting here if you hate tennis that much?

 

[I Am Finnish]

Fognini has never won a match after beating nadal will he break the curse this time?

 

[I Am Finnish]

An interesting question is, which player in today's final Nole will support. Compatriot Dusan or buddy Fabio?

Compatriot

 

[Legend of Borg]

why the heck would I root for a Lajovic win?

Fog, please don't mess this one up

clean up in straights if possible, thx

 

[Mr.Lob]

The Velvet Fog in 3.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

why the heck would I root for a Lajovic win?

Fog, please don't mess this one up

clean up in straights if possible, thx

Lajovic is a great person

 

[rainingaces]

How does meles explain this final? Next gen can't beat 2nd and 3rd tier old gen.

 

[Red Rick]

Lazy match thread by the way.

I choose option E) Ban thread, lock OP

 

[Legend of Borg]

what is this monarchist bullsheet?

 

[underground]

Will Fabio remain a 'wasted talent' or can he finally move ahead of the likes of Monfils, Kyrgios, etc and change his status to 'fulfulling his potential'?

 

[Legend of Borg]

casual power and swagger

 

[Red Rick]

Fognini starts with a hold.

Ominous signs for Lajovic

 

[Steve0904]

I like both players but Dusan has more time to win a big title and I feel Fabulous Fabio deserves it after saving the sport in such splendid fashion today.

I hope Fabio wins too, but this is the last chance either of them are getting. Neither will ever make a M1000 final again. I would be shocked if I ended up being wrong.

 

[Steve0904]

Nice start from Lajovic.

 

[Legend of Borg]

is Lajovic the Serbian Fed?

slices, dinks, droppers, plays with one hander and a ProStaff...

 

[Red Rick]

I hope Fabio wins too, but this is the last chance either of them are getting. Neither will ever make a M1000 final again. I would be shocked if I ended up being wrong.

It's open season in 1000s.
