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

[ACE of Hearts]

Isner’s return game has been pitiful.

 

[TennisFan3]

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

Not really. Novak doesn't continuously abuse on the court. Sure he sometimes rages, but it is VERY BRIEF.
He also does NOT take gamsemanship breaks and does NOT get coached by his father like Titspas.
Finally Novak is very complimentary to his opponents and a good loser unlike Titspas.

 

[TennisFan3]

Getting over for Isner. Titspas gets the minibreak.
Isner in big trouble now. Match might be over for the American soon.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Just awful returning by Isner.

What's wrong with a bit of yelling on court in the first place. Generally more hilarious than racket breaking or ball abusing.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Isner makes some bad mistakes, down 2-5, his two serves yet to come!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Make tsit serve it out.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Just a crappy tiebreaker by Isner. He’s gone! Cya!

Tournament over by Isner. Bad 2nd and 3rd set.

 

[MeatTornado]

I haven't watched the whole match, but every one of those forehand drop shots i've seen by isner has hit the net

 

[Slowtwitcher]

Tsitsipas is not winning TBs against Isner.

Which is why no one takes your analysis seriously

Just a reminder: don't take anyone's "analysis" seriously.

 

[Harry_Wild]

3rd set tiebreaker end 3-7, Isner looses tiebreaker

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tsitsipas takes the 3rd set. His overall clay level just too consistent for isner. Plus his movement is better. Good match but Tsitsipas in 4 now. Good test for the Greek.

 

[longmacchiato]

Yes! time for Samprass imitator to pack bags.

 

[Red Rick]

Please never stop watching Isner.

I’m sorry but that’s just a nice way to gloss over some of Novak’s very problematic on court behavior. Novak has repeatedly screamed profanities at the crowd, destroyed rackets, treated ball kids badly. His unhinged on court behavior is what led to his DQ last USO. I’m not saying Tsitsipas is a saint, but you’re being selective in calling out Tsitsipas for merely venting to his box here.

 

[Krish0608]

Meanwhile, Tsits gets the TB. Now he should have the psychological edge. Good one from Stef.

 

[MeatTornado]

Please never stop watching Isner.

He also has a 0% win rate in sets I've watched today.

 

[heninfan99]

Hmm.... Someones getting Isnerized

 

[Krish0608]

Just a reminder: don't take anyone's "analysis" seriously.

You’d think that the guy with the massive serve would have the edge in TBs over a guy with a mediocre ROS.

 

[Red Rick]

He also has a 0% win rate in sets I've watched today.

Thank you for saving tennis today, Helmet. Your contribution will never be forgotten.

[TennisFan3]

Ended up plenty of gamesmanship from Titspas, but still played better in the end.
The key was the long break by Titspas after set 1. It completely broke Isner's momentum and the American has not been the same player since.

Yes. The ball that Djokovic hit at the linesperson contacted her throat VERY BRIEFLY.

I do agree on the gamesmanship part. There has been lots of it tonight from him.

 

[StrongRule]

I have @TennisFan3 on my ignore list for a long time now, but you guys are just responding way too much to his trolling, so I'm forced to look it out.

 

[Picmun]

[prairiegirl]

But, Tsitsipas is up 2 sets to 1 at this time. However, John hasn't played badly at all.

[Krish0608]

Tsitsipas breaks early in the 4th. That could be it.

 

[DjokoLand]

People commenting on here saying Isners return game has been awful/poor . What did you expect ?

 

[Slowtwitcher]

Djokovic usually hammers his racquet into the ground repeatedly. However, the hits are VERY BRIEF.

 

[Krish0608]

Can Isner break here?

 

[Krish0608]

Can Isner break here?

No he does not.

 

[longmacchiato]

Can Isner break here?

NO.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Tsitsipas is running away with the 4th set! 3-0 now!

 

[Picmun]

Djokovic usually hammers his racquet into the ground repeatedly. However, the hits are VERY BRIEF.

 

[Sudacafan]

His technique is not sound. He should get the work done with only one stroke, à la matador.

 

[longmacchiato]

Can Isner choke here?

 

[Sudacafan]

Well, Isner got tired. He's 36 years old.

 

[Sudacafan]

Can Isner choke here?

Isner does not choke. He always plays the same.

You both have very similar beliefs that Novak is an unstoppable god and Rafa is a MUG. You should be friends

 

[Slowtwitcher]

Isner just isnered all over this match. It was a proper isnering.

Don't even compare me to this Djokovic fanboy.

Don't even compare me to this Djokovic fanboy.

strong rule , why do you so certin that djokovic will beat nadal in SF ??

 

[Latetothegame]

Murray always seemed to have the Key to Isner and other big servers his theory was not to rush through his own service games, although he was perfectly capable of doing so, he used to try and tire them out on his service games , because hitting these big serves does take a lot of efffort

 

[Krish0608]

Tsitsipas likely to end this with a breadstick! Racing to the finish.

 

[Steve0904]

Solid performance from Tsitsipas here. Very impressive.
