Too early

secret to success

 

[Harry_Wild]

Rublevs wins, now in the Finals!

 

[TheAssassin]

Shame, was rooting for Ruud. Hopefully we will have him regularly at business end of clay Masters going forward.

Come on bweh, win this now.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Warheadz tastes lovely.

Please. I would like to buy a one-week membership accomodation for the official Andrey Rublev bandwagon.

[Poisoned Slice]

Sorry, I forgot where I was again. Let's go, tennis. Let's go.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Guess I'm just happy to not be feeling sick.

Too much risk for an investment. May come again later, though.

Ayrton Senna was Mr. Monaco.

Who is Mr. Monte Cristo?

 

[Sysyphus]

Rublev is going to emasculate Tsitsipas so hard that Apostolos is going to officially disavow him from the stands, denying his fatherhood.

 

[Sudacafan]

On another not, poll votes were a big failure, considering the finalists that we got.
Rublev: 0 votes
Tsitsipas: 4 votes.
Over 55 total votes.

I'm a Rublev fan for a day.

Going all in on the Tsits hate. Screw him and the daft questions from his mother.

I will be greatly satisfied if Stefanos just stops publishing philosophy treatises and self-help books.

Hope Rublev wins tomorrow.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

The Holy Bweeeeeh shall triumph tomorrow, to become the new king of Monaco

 

[StrongRule]

Hope Rublev wins tomorrow.

I don't think he will win.

Don’t know what your going on about. Grass is his favourite surface his win loss record is 18-12 on grass and he hasn’t played any grass tournaments in two years. I wouldn’t be so quick to call him a HC specialist.

Agree to disagree. 3R Wimby twice vs finals in both HC slams. 10 titles all on HC. Best grass result: 1 SF each at Eastbourne and Queen’s Club. If your tasting Medfly considers grass his favorite surface then he’s either lying or he really likes losing on it. 18-12 is not anything to boast about. HC specialist until he proves differently.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Really shocking that club players play only doubles most of the time in the 40+ age but doubles is not shown on TV until now.

 

[BeatlesFan]

No separate match thread for the Russian versus the Greek final?

The issue with you claiming hard court specialist is this is based on early early results in his career. 18-12 is nothing to boast about but its still a 66% winning record. His breakthrough on the hard courts didn’t come before halfway through 2019, before that he had 3rd round and 4th round exits of every major tournament. So he literally had bad result everywhere not just grass. He does love grass which makes sense because big serve + flat stroke + fast surface is the perfect combination for a grass court game. If he does badly at Wimbledon this year than you can claim hard court specialist but in my opinion its far too early to say that.

I think Tsitsipas might be the best player on clay at the moment. It should be either Thiem or Nadal, but not right now.

Tsitsi is the new black. I'm on his wagon from now on. All the strutting is now forgiven.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Rublev pounded Ruud and Nadal. It reminded me of an old man getting beat down only for his son to try avenge him and also take a beating. Rublev is playing very solid. His forehand is brutal and his backhand is very steady. His defensive forehand squash shot is also excellent. I think he will pound Tsitsipas.

 

[Sudacafan]

I don't want to be saved.

As I said and you continue to ignore, agree to disagree.

Also, I disagree with your math. 18-12 is a 60% winning percentage. It’s nothing to boast about.

Done with your losing argument yet?

Rublev has too much firepower for Ruud's low-risk game.

 

[Ronaldo]

Rublev slayed, Nadal looks older than season 7 lionel

Saw him & the Commodores open for the Jackson Five in 1971

 

[Rafa4GOAT]

Tsitsipas could win his first masters 1000 before winning a 500. He’s already won the ATP Finals before a 500.

He only cares about the big things lol

Agree on that forehand. Stretched out wide, gets the point to back to neutral, or even takes the offense. Against Nadal he repeatedly hit that shot low over the net, and deep.

 

[longmacchiato]

It's going to be a nail biter for sure. I'll be root'n for Chich though. The other guy is too damn good.

 

[HardCourtMaestro]

Probably wrong but think Tsistipas will be the biggest 'threat' to Nadal.

I shouldn’t have been this humble in my prediction. Oh well I chose him on poll my sixth sense with tennis is truly incredible

 

[James P]

Enjoyable tournament this year. Wish I could have watched more of it.

 

[Krish0608]

Is it just me or was Nole looking ultra razor sharp for his first match on clay. He seemed to hit a MUCH heavier ball and with a lot more power than any of his clay court matches in the last couple of years. Could make things interesting for the ongoing CC season.

Called it way back during his first clay court match this year. Novak’s made some interesting tweaks for the clay season as evidenced by his Rome run. Won’t matter against Rafa, but gives him a punchers chance to at least take a set off him.
