You can't really fine someone or suspend them for being an uninformed moron. If that were the case, half the world would be in trouble.

I'm not sure if Schwartzmann didn't know Nadal still has to play Cilic, or whether he was just being honest about who he thought was gonna win the match.

It's like Roger says. Tennis is game of fine margins. If you win 55 percent of points, you dominate. If it weren't for a bad let cord here, bad umpire call there, the match would've turned quickly. Zverev was doing exactly the right things, and it came down to bad luck in the end. Even the big 3 do not won every match.

Haha. True.You can't really fine someone or suspend them from being an uninformed moron. If that were the case, half the world would be in trouble.
But in the USA you can. Have you seen some trivial lawsuits with insane compensations.

True, I guess here you can sue anyone for anything. Class action lawsuit against Gilbert for being a moron and a terrible commentator. Oh, and unfunny, too.
Count me in.

Anybody with a brain knows that Nadal is easily winning that match unless he breaks his leg. Even then he still might win.

Feel bad for Zverev. He is in such a funk mentally. I think he should take a month or two off tennis.
Also, does Schwartzman remind anyone else of Donald Duck?

The Finnish Eurosport commentator told a story about Diego when he was a kid: He had come home crying from the tennis practice. His mother asked what's wrong, and he said the coach had said that he's too small to be a tennis player. I wonder what that coach thinks now...

The problem with this is that you could point out bad luck on the winner's side(Diego in this case) which could have led to a blowout. If all of a player's matches keep being decided by a couple of points here and there, then that means he's playing right where he belongs to for the time being.
When kids 50 years from now ask me what I lived through, I'll tell em that I witnessed a 6'6" man play 3 meters behind the baseline against a little person
what do their heights have to do with it?

Idk about that. Diego dominated when it came to second serves. Zverev just won 32 percent of his second serves. That’s brutal and awful.

Zverev could have won the match with a little more aggression. I guess he just doesn't feel comfortable on the baseline instead of behind it.

Technically, for Zverev's standards, 2019 has been his most successful slam season.

Same Zverev dunce tactics, and same old GS story. 5 setters against journeyman then losing when faced with first good player. Pretty clear he isn't willing to make radical changes now.
At least he's done better than tsitipas last 3 slams. What a joke this gen is.

Have a look at this.
Pay attention to the fact that Zverev constantly retreats far behind the baseline and relinquish the initiative. Even on his own serve if not given a complete putaway.
Sure, Diego plays great but he is kind of handed the upper hand in the rallies.
Since Zverev is not like Thiem or Stan who thrives when slugging away far behind the baseline, he would surely benefit greatly of just staying on the forefoot.
Is it a mental lapse?
