Better late than never?

Something's wrong with that poll, isn't it?

Long first service game for Stef. Rublev didn't really do enough with any of his returns when he had break chances though.

 

[guga_fan]

They are playing very fast.

Tsitsipas backhand holding it's own better than his forehand so far.

Tsitsipas... shanking?

 

[EllieK]

Tsitsipas living dangerously

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Rublev's forehand

 

[Nicklo22]

Decent match so far

 

[fundrazer]

Rublev definitely seems the stronger of the two to start though. Has to keep up this level though and avoid any mental lapses.

He's getting a lot of looks on Stef's service games too.

 

[Hitman]

Rublev forehand causing all kinds of problems here

 

[Nicklo22]

Rublev with 2 break points , any short balls from tsitsi rublev is punishing them with his forehand

 

[guga_fan]

Haven't seen Rublev play in a while. He is doing much better than I expected.

 

[Nicklo22]

Rublev breaks

 

[fundrazer]

Bweh breaks! Think that was his 5th or 6th chance or so.

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Bweh.

 

[EllieK]

Rublev breaks

Had to do it eventually. Tsits struggled in all service games.

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Bweh.

BWEH

 

[ttwreader]

Rublev's up a break.

 

[fundrazer]

Haven't seen Rublev play in a while. He is doing much better than I expected.

He's had some unexpected losses, but they haven't necessarily been to bad players. Stef has been in similar form though, and has the arm or elbow injury supposedly.

 

[mike danny]

This looks like a faster court, so no surprise Tsitsi is struggling.

 

[ttwreader]

52 secs game

 

[Nicklo22]

Rublev mindlessly attacking tsitsi backhand instead of changing directions

 

[Daniel Andrade]

This looks like a faster court

Do we like those?

 

[Red Rick]

Can't express how much I hate the grunt, phrase or nickname "BWEH" enough

 

[TheAssassin]

Everyone is serving bombs lol.

 

[fundrazer]

Can't express how much I hate the grunt, phrase or nickname "BWEH" enough

Bweh?

Reminds me of

 

[mike danny]

He's beating Tsits so I'll allow it.

 

[Daniel Andrade]

BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH

Almost as bad as ''wimby.''

 

[Mivic]

Rublev serving out of a tree atm. 19/20 first serves made with an average speed of over 200 km/h.

 

[Red Rick]

Almost as bad as ''wimby.''

Wimbleton is worser

Rublev serving out of a tree atm. 19/20 first serves made with an average speed of over 200 km/h.

Let's not forget who the returner is though.

 

[fundrazer]

Wimbleton is worser

I think in the one clip for that King Richard movie the girl playing Venus or Serena says it that way. I dunno if it was intentional or not, but I was tilted.

 

[Hitman]

Ruby likes these conditions.

 

[junior74]

Wimbleton is worser

Earth's Mightiest Warrior is worsest

 

[TheAssassin]

Rublev missed only two 1st serves in that entire set...

 

[junior74]

Totally crazy serving from Ruby (don't take your love to town)

 

[Deleted member 748597]

I want Djok to win this YEC. Fed already bagelled Ned 6-0. It's Djok's time now.

 

[fundrazer]

He probably is getting help from Stef's crap returning, but that was a super clean set from Rublev.

 

[Sysyphus]

Yeah, crazy serving indeed.

Failed to make only two first serves all set (92%) and won 20/23 (87%) when it landed.

Unplayable.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Bada boom

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Wimbleton is worser

Bweh

 

[Hitman]

Ruby's forehand is bwehing all over that court.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

BWEH is back !

 

[TheAssassin]

Slice-passed Tsitsipas. Stunning.

 

[fundrazer]

Oh man that slice pass up the line. That was cheeky.

Good response from 15-30 too.

 

[Aabye5]

Andrey, what's your solution for your second service problems?

Eh, going forward I plan to never hit them. Bweh
