2021 Roland Garros - Men's Singles QF - Alexander Zverev (6) vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina

[Deleted member 762343]

Fokina has won 2 service games in the first 2 sets.

Is bettter than 0 games, no? Bery tough opponent, no?

 

[_GOATbis]

Fokina has a huge nose.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

There’s always one dud QF in pretty much every slam where an unseeded or low seed player sneaks in. The rest of the QF lineup seems really good so hopefully it delivers.

I don’t really expect the other two maybe tsit and med could be a classic.

7 of the top 10 players in the world made RG2021's QFs. That's pretty good.

Class act.

Are you a snowflake?

 

[Poisoned Slice]

They are showing no mercy. ''This is a very average spectacle.'''

 

[El_Yotamo]

I really dunno why I thought ADF would get a set. Embarrassing display, it's too bad he knocked out Ruud who might have had a chance here

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Are you a snowflake?

Are you a bingo card?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Zverev already in the bath here. Like a practice match. Embarrassing by the Spainard!

 

[SonicNirvana]

look at Zverev the absolute servebot

 

[smalahove]

Noticed ADF has a webside adress on his Sleeve so I had to chekck it out Turns he’s helped found a «animal mediation platform to connect animal seekers and animal shelters in Spain»
Kudos!

If Fokina was to retire here I promise no one would be dismayed

 

[SonicNirvana]

they shoud make Rafa and Nole play two matches in one day to make it interesting.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

''Has to try something a little extraordinary.'' hmmmm.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

they shoud make Rafa and Nole play two matches in one day to make it interesting.

You don’t give any of the next gen like zverev, meddy or Tsitsipas a chance?

 

[Krish0608]

I’m more and more convinced that Zverev will easily make the finals from this half. He looks red hot and unstoppable (excluding Rafa)

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Not often Zverev has gotten to be so dominant in a big match. He’s thriving

 

[tennistiger]

Zverev now on a roll with harder strung Rackets.

 

[smalahove]

If Fokina was to retire here I promise no one would be dismayed

One thing I really respect about the guy even if I give him a hard time about tactics, is his fighting spirit. He wouldn’t quit like Musetti.

 

[_GOATbis]

Imagine paying for tickets to this garbage.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I’m more and more convinced that Zverev will easily make the finals from this half. He looks red hot and unstoppable (excluding Rafa)

He has a good chance but Tsitsipas and meddy are playing very well too. All 3 in pretty top form. Zverev will hope for a long match tonight.

 

[StrongRule]

I’m more and more convinced that Zverev will easily make the finals from this half. He looks red hot and unstoppable (excluding Rafa)

If by some miracle Nadal makes the final, I'm sure he would prefer Tsitsipas or Medvedev. Zverev is clearly the worst matchup for him.

Nadal-Schwartzman is usually fun even though it’s one sided and Djokovic-Berretini feels pretty NID but still should be a good match.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

I mean it’s not as if Zod ever let a two sets and a break lead slip before versus a nervous opponent....

 

[The Guru]

7 of the top 10 players in the world made RG2021's QFs. That's pretty good.

Next Gen has been better than advertised since 2020. Lots of solid results from Med/Zed/Tsits.

 

[tennistiger]

If by some miracle Nadal makes the final, I'm sure he would prefer Tsitsipas or Medvedev. Zverev is clearly the worst matchup for him.

For both, Djokovic and Nadal! And it will be hot and fast on Sunday!

 

[The Guru]

Imagine. That would be the peak of ABZ.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

[Hitman]

Zverev has gone to town on him in this match.

 

[blablavla]

How do you guys rate this tournament so far ?

Stronk era
Baghdatis & Roddick were clearly weak era

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Flattered this match with the 6 pages it has so far.

 

[Berasategui94]

Fokina’s legs are gone, he’s visibly heavy on his feet. Probably fatigue from his long matches.

 

[The Guru]

If by some miracle Nadal makes the final, I'm sure he would prefer Tsitsipas or Medvedev. Zverev is clearly the worst matchup for him.

I’d rather see Zverev than Tsits if I’m Nadal honestly.

 

[Krish0608]

He has a good chance but Tsitsipas and meddy are playing very well too. All 3 in pretty top form. Zverev will hope for a long match tonight.

Won't matter. There's 2 days gap for the semi. That's ample time to recover no matter how long the match goes.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

MUGdivic MUGkina has no business in a Quarters. What a horrible match. Dude got like 2 percent of his first serves in

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Fokina just turned 22 and looks strong as an ox. He's really whacked after a five setter?

 

[Krish872007]

Zverev's last couple of rounds have been blowouts - he's definitely in with a great look at the Final now

 

[flyingboris]

Lifts shirt, sneers, hits BHDTL for a winner, GSM Zverev!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Well done, Zverev.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Won't matter. There's 2 days gap for the semi. That's ample time to recover no matter how long the match goes.

True point. Who you think makes final?

 

[Hitman]

Zverev will lose to Tsitsipas in the semis, that was what I predicted at the start of the tournament, so too late to change it now. Tsitsipas to lose to Nadal in the finals in straights.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

I’m surprised Zverev didn’t fall asleep.

 

[blablavla]

Fokina just turned 22 and looks strong as an ox. He's really whacked after a five setter?

Give him another 10 years to peak.
Don't you know that endurance sports are dominated by 30+ folks?

 

[SonicNirvana]

You don’t give any of the next gen like zverev, meddy or Tsitsipas a chance?

unless Rafa and Novak play a 5 hour match honestly no... But I'll comment on it again after the Semis actually happen.

 

[tennistiger]

Bartoli and Lang suit together!

 

[RF-18]

If by some miracle Nadal makes the final, I'm sure he would prefer Tsitsipas or Medvedev. Zverev is clearly the worst matchup for him.

Nadal has no chance against either of them.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

the Zverev/Tsitsipas will go way longer than nadal/djoker will. That’s if nole doesn’t tank the quarters

 

[Krish872007]

Tsitsipas leads Zverev 5-2
Medvedev leads Tsitsipas 6-1
Zverev leads Medvedev 5-4

 

[Krish0608]

True point. Who you think makes final?

Heart says Tsitsi (he better come through tonight), head says Zverev or Meddy.
