Who wins this David vs Goliath battle?
Discuss and let the hate flow through you!

 

[gn]

Diego already got the early break. 2-0

 

[skip1969]

Diego wins . . . the battle of kits, at least.

 

[Deleted member 766172]

Zverev should try underhand serves

 

[gn]

That's some relentless hitting from Diego. Chance to get the double break.

 

[skip1969]

Diego approaching to the net!

 

[victorcruz]

Let's go Shortsman! If Rafa doesn't win it, I want him to. Leggo

 

[James P]

Goliath in 4.

 

[skip1969]

Zverev holds. Somebody give that dude a haircut.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Schwartz slays Goliath.

 

[skip1969]

That means, find any seat and sit your *sses down . . .

 

[gn]

Break back opportunity to Z.

 

[skip1969]

Diego looks tiny all the way over on the far end.

 

[Red Rick]

I never realised how much Zverev sr. looks like Mike Ehrmantaut when he's about to die

 

[skip1969]

Diego gets broken. First serve deserted him in that game.

 

[gn]

Diego missed the chance to go double break. Now gets broken. We are back on serve.

 

[gn]

This is a pretty intense match if you ignore how bad they both are playing.

 

[MeatTornado]

Not exactly a new thought, but god Zverev is frustrating to watch.

There's no reason he shouldn't be a constant lock for quarters & semis every tournament.

 

[Standaa]

tweeeener

 

[Standaa]

Zverev’s T-shirt looks awesome btw and would look great on anyone else but Zverev

[MeatTornado]

lolZverev

 

[Red Rick]

Schwartzman so ****ing awful after going up 2-0

 

[beltsman]

Zverev takes the set...but he's getting bossed FH-to-FH by Schwartzman lol.

 

[TennisFan3]

Zverev GOATing. Will get to the final.

 

[Zebrev]

Zverev is going to reach the final.

 

[Deleted member 766172]

Let's go Zverev! ELEVATE TO ELIMINATE

 

[Deleted member 766172]

Rain on the roof seems to really be bothering Diego.

 

[Zebrev]

Zverev breaks back! Brilliant.

 

[Enceladus]

S. Zverev-Schwartzman 6:3, 2:3
Diego created great BH DTL winner.

 

[Enceladus]

Sascha created DF at Diego's BP. Diego leads 4:2 in 2nd set.

 

[Cloister]

Not exactly a new thought, but god Zverev is frustrating to watch.

He has the mental strength of a cheese sandwich.

 

[MeatTornado]

Zverev up to 10 double faults before the 2nd set's even over.

 

[AlexanderTheGreat08]

Zverev up to 10 double faults before the 2nd set's even over.

Felix teached him well

 

[Nostradamus]

Sasha needs to good coach. this is ridiculous now.

 

[gn]

Schwartzman yells c'mon after Z hits a forehand long. Diego takes the second set 6-2.

 

[Silence]

Z insanely passive..

 

[McLovin]

 

[SeeingDusk]

The pure ball striking from both men is breathtaking. Really nice match, besides the double faults from Z.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Why do players waste precious energy engaging in endless ball-bash fests?
Mixing things up a la Andreescu makes so much more sense!
And it's more interesting to watch!

 

[gn]

Wondering why Diego not stepping inside the baseline to return Z's second serve.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Come on Zed. I start to like Zed all of sudden.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

They don't have it.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Wondering why Diego not stepping inside the baseline to return Z's second serve.

Afraid of the kick.

 

[Zebrev]

Zverev is pressing now. It's on his racquet!

 

[Zebrev]

I like the way Zverev is slowly finding form this tournament. This groundstrokes are now up to scratch, just the serve needs to follow.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Wasted 3 BPs oh Zed. Diego 2nd serve that attackable!

 

[MeatTornado]

Zverev's lack of a defensive slice is a killer. Two of his UEs on these 3 BPs were from trying to get down and hit a topspin backhand down low and wide.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Yes!!!!!!! Schwartz!!!!!!! Cut down Goliath!!!!! The behemoth!!!!!!
