So proud of Rublev today, that is the reward for turning up consistently week in week out on the tour. It is no fluke, the pop off his ground strokes is amazing to watch.
Amazing - got a chance to watch him courtside a few years ago and it's jaw-dropping, especially coming from that sickly-looking little red-cheeked stick figure. And he was still light years from the player he is now. Too bad that, aside from Moya and a few ball boys, nobody was there to witness his greatest performance ever.So proud of Rublev today, that is the reward for turning up consistently week in week out on the tour.

Exactly. I was watching some amazing shots only to hear one person clap to acknowledge it or none even.Amazing - got a chance to watch him courtside a few years ago and it's jaw-dropping, especially coming from that sickly-looking little red-cheeked stick figure.

Still better than Tsitsipas who is a real mental midget
Creamed Chipped Beef over toast/shingle ftw
I would think Vicente was there in force. Rubles and he are inseparable.Amazing - got a chance to watch him courtside a few years ago and it's jaw-dropping, especially coming from that sickly-looking little red-cheeked stick figure.

Limited capacity crowds will be there in Barca to give it some “normal” atmosphere. The King of 500s would love that title due to the Vicente connection, no?He was, he was, I was being slightly hyperbolic.
But still, so sad to see such riveting points, which would normally culminate in thunderous crowd roars, vanish into utter silence or be greeted by an isolated clap - probably by Nando himself.
Not really. 2017, 18 and 19 had plenty of new winners too. It didn't mean anything at the slams though.Interesting that the first two Masters tournaments of the year will result in a first time Masters champion.
Sign of the times?
I think he'll gladly trade it for this one - crowd or no crowd.The King of 500s would love that title due to the Vicente connection, no?
I got the Injury report. All the double faults that RAFA was hitting today was because of his lower back problem that acted up due to sudden cold weather
Medvedev owns Rublevs head. Whenver they play you can see it from the moment when Rublev walks out and sees Medvedev. Must go back to their junior matches. IDK but it's an interesting thing to see. Love watching Med play and I think he's the best of the non big 3 but would like to see Rub also overcome this obstacle.Rubles has passed Medvedev for #2 in the race, will pass Djokovic tomorrow for #1 if he beats Ruud.
How dare you question the seer of Standford’s inside dope???You serious? Tournament officials sent you the injury report?
Yes, he was always the younger one in their junior days. He should be outgrowing that now, especially on clay (maybe on grass too) where Medfly will be his pigeon.Medvedev owns Rublevs head.

A lot of people think Medvedev is a bum after that Australian Open performance. The vast majority of the people on this board thought it would be Novak’s toughest test in years. Instead it was an absolute beat down. One of the most disappointing slam performances in years.
HC specialist. His career record on clay and grass is the stuff that mediocrity is made of...28-30 since 2016.I’d love to be a bum who’s ranked #2 in the world.
That’s crazyRubles has passed Medvedev for #2 in the race, will pass Djokovic tomorrow for #1 if he beats Ruud.
Djokovic's played 3 tournaments up until now. Rublev played 7. It's not crazy. It's anything but crazy.That’s crazy
Ah the "play million more tournaments" stratThat’s crazy
Just realised Evans still has a chance to take both singles and doubles titles... on clay... at a masters event![]()
No, because of the covid. Even Rafa on RG is not safe from the covid either. Unless there is a conspiracy that the RG organizers will try to hide Nadal's positive test from the public. But if it were found out, it would be a huge scandal, which would damage the reputation of RG and the reputation of Nadal.RG is rafa’s house. He’s a lock there. Plus this match still not over. Rafa has been better 2nd set. This has no bearing on RG.
There is first time for every thing.Ned has never lost a deciding set in Monte Carlo.
17-19 after losing the first set in a clay Masters tournament.
167-2 after winning the first set!
Don't worry about @StrongRule, it doesn't have a sense. The guy lives in his world.Report me for what, Gentleman??
Did I use cusswords/personal insults/abusive language against you? Absolutely not.
I have pointed out the negativity you spread around here, and asked you to stop it in a very polite manner time and time again, but you're not ready to stop putting efforts into adding negativity into this beautiful forum. Me trying to stop you from that in the most polite way possible is nowhere near an insult, sir.
For Christ's sake please stop spreading negativity.
Wow, great forecast.Nadal will not reach the semis anyway...

Oh yeah, Crucible is starting.Little update from the first round.
Ronnie 4 Joyce 3
Looking a little ragged.
Oh yeah, Crucible is starting.
Let's hope Ronnie has one more in him to at least tie Hendry.
It's all about the cue action.I'll take it in the first round. All about getting through. Yes, captain obvious.
I was just excited to hear a proper crowd noise and a mobile phone rudely going off.
