2020 ATP Cup - General Discussion

[Yoneyama]

Kinda hope that horn-guy starts doing this to Nadal. I reckon he will get booed hardcore lol

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Real happy for RBA. He’s had such a tough run, lost his mother less than two years ago and lost his father during the Davis Cup a few months ago. Up to his equal career high now.

If I were his wife I would be concerned if he kept on winning.

Time for the main event now.

 

[Enceladus]

Federer fans complaining about the crowd is so cute. It's like DC and crowds are always over the top at these type of matches.

They taste their own medicine.

 

[MichaelNadal]

ATP cup be like:

 

[Born_to_slice]

Lajovic too defensive. It was clear that he had to redline most of time and come forward often. Instead he's camping 5 meters behind the baseline.

You are spot on. According to the ATP website, Rafa is 185 cm tall and De Minaur is 1.83 cm tall.

ATP Website is not accurate at all. Players just list their own heights. They're not officially measured by the ATP.

 

[LETitBE]

88% humidity

 

[tonylg]

Yup. I’ll be cheering for Djokovic over Nadal but my god if this crowd keeps up I’ll have to switch. Im glad Bautista Agut is sticking it to them cause Jesus Christ it’s awful!!

They will be twice as bad when the Nadal v Jokovitch match is on. If it gets tight, they'll do it during Nadal's service motion, like they did to Anderson during both tiebreaks.

 

[LETitBE]

slaughter incoming

I've seen Nadal live at close quarters several times in AbuDhabi and I would say 6"1 is pretty accurate. I've also seen him and Federer side by side and they are both the same height as shown on the ATP website.

Some people said Nadal is under 6 feet. About 5'11 1/2

 

[LETitBE]

worlds best player

 

[Lumber]

Lets go Novak! Best groundstrokes in the world

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Nadal doesn't like b1tchy crowds?

JOIN THE CLUB!

 

[Mkiske]

6/2

 

[Lumber]

Rafa toilet break. Again.
So he was chosen as the best sportsman??

They can't have seen him in person. He does look shorter on TV but in real life he is definitely over 6".

So good sportsmen don't go to the toilet?

It's true that robots don't go to the toilet.

 

[Lumber]

For some reason, the toilet breaks only happens when losing in a match.
Delay tactics

Nonsense. He always takes a 'toilet break' to change his clothes at the end of every set.

Nadal out of doubles. Flopez and PCB against Nole and Viktor.

Wait why ?

 

[Born_to_slice]

Wait why ?

Don't know why. Just what I've heard on Tennis TV.

 

[Searah]

awww no nadal/djoker in doubles now? guess nadal wants rest? would think he'd want his revenge in doubles.

 

[Hitman]

What, Nadal is out of the doubles? The deciding match for the ATP Cup and he is not playing?

 

[ForehandCross]

What, Nadal is out of the doubles? The deciding match for the ATP Cup and he is not playing?

Now that will be an anticlimactic end to the cup.

Why isn't Spain's best player on the court in a decider ?

Exactly, isn't Nadal one of the best volleyers in the game? This is the final match, Novak is going for it, why not him? After all the work he has put into taking them to this point.

Maybe he figured Djovak will be moar tired for AO, so he can pounce.

Maybe he is just exhausted as he had to play for three consecutive days and had some grueling matches, so doesn't wanna ruin his team's chances to lift the trophy. Don't think that a player like Nadal is scared of a defeat, etc.

Kudos to Novak tough, he had marathons with Medvedev and Shapovalov and is still playing.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Good decision. I'd rather watch him rest and support his teammates.

Lopez is a good doubles player though. Evidently Nadal needs rest, he's done enough. It's not a given he'd have performed better than Lopez, really.

 

[RF-18]

Good chance here Djole and Viktor with Nadal not playing.

I wouldn't think Nadal is scared of defeat, I was defending him yesterday against a few posters who said he shouldn't have even played Djokovic today. I mean, if you can face him in singles, then why not double, where you actually are the better player because of the net skills. He is the best at the net. But, maybe he is just that tired. have to think though, he looked ready for a third set out there against Djokovic, in which he would do a lot more running, he wouldn't do near as much in the doubles final.

 

[Born_to_slice]

Dull had enough Djoko for one day.

 

[Hitman]

Lopez is a good doubles player though. Evidently Nadal needs rest, he's done enough. It's not a given he'd have performed better than Lopez, really.

You are probably right. Just a shame though that after all the effort he put in these past few days, he won't be there for the final bit. Kind of deserved of it. Djokovic has had some serious battles out there also.

Yeah well I guess today's defeat tired him out (mentally) additionally, so he doesn't feel well and ready to fight. But, who knows?

No more dull jokes allowed indeed.

Lopez is a better doubles player than Nadal. Then again, they are both better than PCB .. and Granollers is better than all of them.

Anticlimax is having a bunch of baselining gumbies * deciding a huge event in a doubles match

* Nadal and Troicki aren't THAT bad.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Would be nice of Troicki to redeem himself for brainfarts against Russia in Madrid.

Then again he was the DC hero a decade ago so I should probably shut up...

 

[Hitman]

I think you are right, the loss took a bit of the wind out of his sails. He probably felt he at least deserved to take this into a third set. Difficult to pick yourself back up again, and he probably has seen enough of Djokovic now.

 

[Searah]

i'm learning a lot of pre-game warmups from watching djoker in gym room

 

[Luthor]

I feel mentally Nadal isn't ready for another Djoker clash. Also after so many matches Nadal is worn out. Nadal played bad in the last doubles match. Risking an injury before AO isn't worth it either. Lopez is a good doubles player. So far my prediction for today's matches was good, I only need Spain to win the doubles to complete it.
