[Breakpointerer]

Kneel before Zod
@Meles

 

[MeatTornado]

Can Zed finally win a straight setter?

 

[Sysyphus]

Zverev looking like he'll have a really easy day's work for once

Rolling into form at the right moment?

 

[onyxrose81]

I don’t know how to live in a world that doesn’t have a Zverev 5 set match.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Surely not a straight setter..

 

[Mivic]

How on earth did Fokina make it to R4. Jeez.

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Faethima is actually better than Sureshs for memes.

 

[Goosehead]

Zverev in terrible danger of arriving seriously undercooked for the SF.

eh ..zed has had 3matches all 4 sets long. sounds ideal.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

The servebotting baselinebot is having a field day with Farkin-oh, virtual bagel deliv'd.

 

[James P]

How on earth did Fokina make it to R4. Jeez.

He beat 3 consecutive players in round 1, round 2, and round 3.

 

[SeeingDusk]

z's serve has improved tremendously. he used to double fault a lot; even over 20+ DFs in a best of 3 match once. now he doesnt double fault much anymore, and has a huge second serve

 

[Sysyphus]

Faethima is actually better than Sureshs for memes.

Take that back immediately

 

[onyxrose81]

How on earth did Fokina make it to R4. Jeez.

By beating the people he played. Not his fault Zverev is much better than his past opponents and much better than himself.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Looking like a valuable routine win.

 

[stringertom]

That is why junior results mean sweat f all, some players win slams at junior level then can barely break top 100

Yeah, that year was pretty weak compared to 2016, the year before, when a Shapo vs AdM final happened preceded by a Shapo vs Shoesypas SF.

Lol poor miss

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Gee, mug netplayers make easy volley UEs once again, so what else is old.

Fokurac. @Born_to_slice

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

C'MOOOOON

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[James P]

Top notch volley

 

[NoleFam]

Thiem, Medvedev and Zverev are starting to come into their own and become more consistent threats.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Standard modern baseline point. Every ball played at maximum peak level.

 

[it slipped out of my hand]

Zverev getting bored

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Out X buttoned there. Wow.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

He's playing like a tin of salmon

 

[Born_to_slice]

Fokurac. @Born_to_slice

Bolje da je isao na fokultet nego da se bavio tenisom.

Jk, I actually like him.

 

[Waterwater]

Thiem, Medvedev and Zverev are starting to come into their own and become more consistent threats.

How can they not be consistent by playing a 99-ranked fellow young player in the round 4 of a grand slam? They better be. I think they can win the title too if they get such a player in the final, no?

Fair point. Medvedev also has a ridiculously easy draw.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Very nice.

 

[TheNachoMan]

People are hyping Med and Tim up but sleeping on Zod. Big mistake

 

[Meles]

Wtf on drop get Ziraffe

 

[Mivic]

Nah. Zverev has very little chance at troubling Djoker. Plus, he is still likely to have to beat coric.

 

[NoleFam]

No I mean they are becoming more consistent in Slams now. Zverev's draw hasn't been easy but he has handled it pretty well. The old Zverev would have went down to Anderson in the 1st round.

 

[Born_to_slice]

Awful ues from fokina. Looks done.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Zod is no stranger to the Djoker

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[Breakpointerer]

 

[TripleATeam]

With a break lead in the 3rd, this seems over.

 

[James P]

Zod is no stranger to the Djoker

Even if he doesn't beat him, I hope he makes Djoker work for it.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Zod is no stranger to the Djoker

Still not buying it. Med is the ONLY hope.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Even if he doesn't beat him, I hope he makes Djoker work for it.

Yeah, Djoker is my favorite of the big 3 but I don’t want him to dominate. It’s boring

 

[James P]

I can see it going 5 sets. I can also see it going 3, 3, & 4 or something like that.

 

[TennisFan3]

This is the best celebration ever on a tennis court.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Zverev is plenty capable of defeating Djokovic. It's what's between the ears that stops him. I am interested to see if he is making progress there. A 5-set win vs. Djoker would be a massive confidence booster. I can only hope the Ziraffe is moving forward.

Prezime mu je odlično, lol.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Held 94% of the time? @Meles is this true? You can never take the word of a commentator.
