2019 NOVENTI OPEN | Halle, Germany | ATP 500 - Discussion Thread

Hmm, getting a little interesting here.

Berrettini found himself with 2 break points in the first game of the second set, but some clutch serving helped Khachanov to hold. Now, a loose service game by the Italian has given Khachanov 2 break points.

Aaaaaand both are saved by Berrettini.

 

[Down_the_line]

Another break point for Khachanov as another Berrettini forehand sails long. Khachanov is starting to get his feel here in these baseline exchanges.

Deuce again. Good serve by Berrettini and the return is long.

Ad Berrettini after a deadly serve + 1.

Good touch on the drop shot and the Italian holds. 1-1.

 

[Red Rick]

It's like I'm watching identical dudes.

Both tall, top 25 players who aren't even technically good lol.

 

[Down_the_line]

This is almost becoming like a script. Again Khachanov faces 2 break points and again he holds. 2-1.

Berettini going to win wimbledon? he is playing at big 3 level. is unstoppable. is invincible. is indestructible. how else to explain the fact that he hasn't been defeated yet on grass? can anyone stop the GOAT Berettini?

He is the new grass goat

[Down_the_line]

Match point for Berrettini....

There it is: 6-2 7-6(4). Another scalp for the Italian on grass.

 

[Down_the_line]

Next up on Stadion: David Goffin vs. (2) Alexander Zverev.

 

[I Am Finnish]

His game suits more on grass than clay imo

Im curious how he will preform on HC this summer and fall

 

[Otacon]

Zverev lacks intelligence in his game.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Goffin wasting opportunities to go up two breaks on zverev.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Long game. Lol

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Goffin finally breaks! Up two breaks 4-1 and serving.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Goffin trying to give one of those breaks back.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Goffin holds. Up 5-1. Looks like 3 sets.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Goffin feeds the giraffe a breadstick 6-1!

 

[Red Rick]

Lol Zverev going from 6-3 1-1 no problem in the world to losing the next 5 games.

 

[Otacon]

Lendl looks awful. As he's very sick or something m.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Goffin about to be broken.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

That was such a lousy game from goffin and he’s broken.

 

[Red Rick]

David Goffin demonstrating how terrible you need to play tennis to lose to Zverev

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Lol goffin thought he's fed

Hey red d**k, man you better shut your phuck up okay??!!
Zed is future goat and will win 30 slams

Zed is just a smol kid who doesn't know how to fight

 

[icedevil0289]

sascha's dad looks like he is about to have an aneurysm

 

[Harry_Wild]

Looks like Zverev going to loose this match at 5-4 Goffin with Zverev serving!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Missed opportunity for goffin.

 

[Meles]

Zedrot has 9 lives, holds for 5 all saving multiple MPs.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Close....but Zverev still alive at 5-5!

 

[Meles]

Goofin's improved serve has him at 6-5 in the 3rd.

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Lol..
Merely 5'6" goffin is out hitting and overpowering 6'6" zverev in almost all the rallies

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Without big serve, zed would have gone down 6-1 6-2

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Zed is just a smol kid who doesn't know how to fight

Russian b**sh*t

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Goofin's improved serve has him at 6-5 in the 3rd.

DON'T JINX HIM...

YOU MELES

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

3 match points for David against Goliath

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

David slays Goliath

 

[Harry_Wild]

Goffin wins! Poor Lendl!

 

[icedevil0289]

rough stuff for sascha.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Hahahaha. Goffin takes down the giraffe. A good day thus far.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Lol..
Merely 5'6" goffin is out hitting and overpowering 6'6" zverev in almost all the rallies

Maybe watch Justine Henin matches before Zverev match?

 

[Meles]

Destroyed Zedrot's 2nd serve; only 33% for the match.

 

[StrongerThanAll]

bye bye Zverev.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Destroyed Zedrot's 2nd serve; only 33% for the match.

The difference in the match.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Great to see Goffin back. I just caught the tail end of the match, and if it went that way the whole time I don't know how Z won a set. Just garbage coming off of the Ziraffe's racquet and Goffin punished it appropriately. So glad he recovered from the horrible ankle and then eye injuries and seems back on track.

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Maybe watch Justine Henin matches before Zverev match?

Probably

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Destroyed Zedrot's 2nd serve; only 33% for the match.

Even moreso,
He was hitting the ball with more authority off both wings
Shocking for a big hitter like zverev

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

bye bye Zverev.

#ABZ

 

[Down_the_line]

Disappointing to see Zverev lose after being up a break in the 3rd. Whatever. Guy's got to do a little soul searching. 2019 has not been kind to him.

Apart from clay and WTF, 2018 was also the same

 

[Gazelle]

Lol..

He's 5'11 actually, but looks more tiny due to his built
