2021 Roland Garros - Men's Singles R4 - Alexander Zverev (6) vs Kei Nishikori

[ACE of Hearts]

If this is the best Nishikori's got, then a top 5 players from 5 years ago is no match for a top 5 player now, meaning the game is deeper now than it used to be.

Those top 5 players still can’t beat past their primes novak or nadal. They would be kicking these old geezers by now but don’t have the mental capability.

Nice clutch match by Samurai.

 

[Hitman]

If Nadal is the injured person who plays tennis, what does that make Nishikori? Lol

The tennis person who plays injured

 

[TennisFan3]

This is boring and uninspiring.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Federer will likely get one of these next-gen guys at wimbledon. We shall see.

 

[Krish872007]

This is boring and uninspiring.

Come on, we're witnessing greatness - the second coming, the making of Zedzilla!

Kei be like:

See that volley?

Thats why I should have kept playing here and see how it unfolded . Wimbledon isn't going to be easy for him now like it was a few years ago . Now you got not only Djokovic, but Medy,Tstsi,Zverev hanging around now

 

[TennisFan3]

See that volley?

Seriously what will happen to tennis when the big 3 retire?
It's just not fun watching any of these players. I would rather watch Novak or Nadal practicing than these guys playing.
Zedzilla is also so boring and Nishikori is not even putting up a fight.

 

[Sudacafan]

Many people watching don’t give up hope that Zvrv may find a way to complicate himself in this match, and win it in five sets.

 

[albertobra]

Zed with scary tennis.

If it goes 5 Nishikori wins by default.

I hear you. We shall see but it might be very depressing.

 

[cortado]

Zverev seems to win a lot of matches but whenever I watch one, nothing interesting is happening.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Zed with scary tennis.

Mugshikori is in da house though. The guy can’t win a first serve point to save his life.

 

[TennisFan3]

Zverev seems to win a lot of matches but whenever I watch one, nothing interesting is happening.

Because Zverev's game is BORING. He stands so far back on clay as well. His forehand sucks and his 2nd serve is weird too.
Either everything goes in OR he starts to choke and folds.
I would put both Titspas/Medvedv over Zverev.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

So the only top 10 next gen who bombed out of the draw was Nadal's QF opponent. JFC.

 

[Sudacafan]

Zvrv is running too much. I think he wants to play 5 sets.

 

[Hitman]

Savage by Zed

 

[I Am Finnish]

Zverev is too good

 

[TennisFan3]

LOL at Nishikori. His first serve is worse than WTA. Not a single free point on first serve.
Zverev breaks and serves at 4-1 in set 3.

 

[TennisFan3]

Zverev is too good

Nishikori too pathetic. Who serves like that in a slam R4?

 

[I Am Finnish]

Nishikori too pathetic. Who serves like that in a slam R4?

Fedr

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Nishikori too pathetic. Who serves like that in a slam R4?

No weapons to hurt zverev. Anyway they should just book zverev into the semis. His draw fell completely apart.

Change Fed for Zverev. Imagine if he had that draw - free pass to the SF.
Do you think Fed would play?

Zed with scary tennis.

will win the tourney, no doubts about that

 

[Sudacafan]

So Zvrv is winning this thing easily, right?

 

[USO]

Embarrassing performance by Nishikori. He is so nonchalant on the court, where is the fight?

 

[Sudacafan]

Nishikori could take off his yoga pants?

Edit: too late.

 

[Gazelle]

If Nadal is the injured person who plays tennis, what does that make Nishikori? Lol

The injured person who tries to play tennis, judging by today's performance.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

What a pathetic performance from this mug. Seriously shouldn’t even have come to court.

 

[Hitman]

It is over

 

[_GOATbis]

Worst player to watch, Nishikori.

 

[Deleted member 758560]

you don't see it?

 

[Deleted member 762343]

@Hitman, you’re a Stallone fan, should we rename Zverev "Demolition Man" ?

 

[Sudacafan]

you don't see it?

I think he did it.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Kachanov should be embarrassed right now . How on earth did i lose to this mug.

 

[Kralingen]

Zverev is pretty imperious when he knows his opponent isn’t going to beat him with passing shots or ever be able to outhit him from the baseline. It’s comfort zone tennis and it looks pretty damn tough and repeatable when he’s not forcing things.

what Zverev has yet to realize is he can do this vs better players as well..

 

[Krish872007]

Brutal from Zverev

 

[ACE of Hearts]

you don't see it?

Did novak or nadal drop out of the french open?

 

[lordlosh]

Zverev draw is like a walkover. He is the luckiest guy out there.

 

[Hitman]

@Hitman, you’re a Stallone fan, should we rename Zverev "Demolition Man" ?

Certainly today.

 

[bjsnider]

What is the deal with Bartoli's weight.

 

[JadeC]

What is the deal with Bartoli's weight.

I think another poster said she struggled with weight issues for a long time. Honestly, I think the weight looks better on her than when she was super thin.

 

[Deleted member 758560]

Did novak or nadal drop out of the french open?

what's the french open? (i only know about roland garros)

 

[ACE of Hearts]

what's the french open? (i only know about roland garros)

in english. French Open.

 

[Kralingen]

Zverev gave Nishikori 2 breadsticks and only 6 total games won. For reference Berankis had the exact same result against Djokovic.

 

[Deleted member 758560]

in english. French Open.

thank you, mentor
