2021 RG R3: [5] Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. [31] John Isner

[TennisFan3]

Titspas on FIRE. Looks like he will hurry through this match now.

isner drop shot

Isner not serving as big last couple of games, something's up

 

[TennisFan3]

It's an important question because Nadal is on Lenglen.

It will rain and Nadal will play Norrie and Sinner back to back on consecutive days.

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

Isner not serving as big last couple of games, something's up

He arms his serve a lot. And movement tires him quicker than other pros... for obvious reasons.

Losing that second set effectively pushes him out of this match.

beats both in straights

He could play them in back to back matches on the same day.

 

[TennisFan3]

He could play them in back to back matches on the same day.

Not really. Nadal is old and slower. He could NOT possibly 6-10 consecutive sets.
He would lose easily the 2nd match.

 

[catskillthunder]

I think Isner fades away easily now.

He could play them in back to back matches on the same day.

He'd routine Norrie and lose maybe a set vs Sinner if he played them both on the same day!

 

[TennisFan3]

beats both in straights

Probably not Sinner.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Everyone should chant this when Isner plays

 

[TennisFan3]

Titspas is playing much better and Isner playing much worse. There can only be one outcome now.

Bud, that's so beautiful.

 

[Kralingen]

Isner is already thinking about a tiebreak on some of these return games you can tell.

 

[Red Rick]

Imagine being a commentator and thinking Isner has the best serve of all time.

 

[catskillthunder]

Isner brining out the Servebot

 

[TheAssassin]

Fully prepared for an Isner marathon that could end up introducing a 5th set tiebreak at RG too in a year.

I don’t get the worship for fast courts here. Do people just wanna watch Isner and Opelka hit aces all day?

 

[catskillthunder]

I cant stand the servebot tennis. Makes it very unenjoyable to watch. With the exception of Isner doing it to Tsitsipas

It's about shrinking the chance for grinders lol...

Why only them? Djokovic is pretty much a servebot these days.

 

[catskillthunder]

Lord.....Isner's groundstrokes are some that I see down at the local courts on a Saturday morning.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

These night sessions without crowds s*ck so much. It feels like eating a chocolate cake but without the chocolate

 

[Krish0608]

Why only them? Djokovic is pretty much a servebot these days.

Are you seriously comparing Isner with Djokovic? Isner is a pure servebot. Djokovic is an all court player who has a solid serve.

 

[davced1]

 

[skypadq]

isner only need one break , come one big john

 

[Krish0608]

Tsitsipas is not winning TBs against Isner. And it’s looking increasingly hard for him here.

W/UE analysts thinking this the best match of RG quality wise

Why do you want Tsitsipas to lose? If by some miracle Nadal makes the final (not going to happen), no doubt I prefer him to face Tsitsipas, and not Zverev.

Which is why no one takes your analysis seriously

 

[TheAssassin]

I don't have the impression that Isner is below 20 errors at all. Has the right aggressive mindset but it hasn't rewarded him often.

 

[StrongRule]

Djokovic has a very annoying serve.

Zverev and Titspas match is not sure to go to Titspas.

 

[StrongRule]

Which is why no one takes your analysis seriously

And why is that? What in my comment was wrong?

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

You are debating with someone thinking Nadal will lose all his matches lol (or maybe he is trolling I can't tell, weird poster)

Djokovic's serve is approaching Federer level. His ground game is already at the GOAT level. If the serve keeps improving he might be unbeatable.
We could see a CYGS.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Pressure on Tsitsipas. Isner serving well.

 

[skypadq]

isner hold and just take the third set , big john

Truly made me LOL

 

[TennisFan3]

Pressure on Tsitsipas. Isner serving well.

Pressure on Isner too. Titspas is serving well and being aggressive.
If Isner loses this set, match OVER. He can't play 5 sets anymore. He is 36.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tsitsipas holds easy 5-5

 

[TennisFan3]

Truly made me LOL

There is no LOL in that. If you look at Novak's AO 2021 serving and so far in the F.O - it's not far off from Fed's.
His improvement in serve has truly been astounding. That is why he won AO so easily.

 

[davced1]

Two hours of play soon but match still waiting to take off

 

[skypadq]

isner hold
i want to just bottom draw fall apart

 

[TennisFan3]

Titspas continues with his abusive language on court. Only 22, but with a bad attitude.

 

[Krish0608]

Tsitsipas’ ROS is the biggest joke

 

[Red Rick]

W/UE analysts thinking this the best match of RG quality wise

Ratio is a great metric to determine wether one of the two player is actually running or not

 

[Krish0608]

Titspas continues with his abusive language on court. Only 22, but with a bad attitude.

Do you highlight the same for Novak when he goes on one of his rage trips? This is mild in comparison

 

[Harry_Wild]

Isner should win the tiebreakers IMO!
