2021 Roland Garros - Men's Singles R4 - Stefanos Tsitsipas (5) vs Pablo Carreño Busta (12)

[Kralingen]

Busta’s FH DTL has saved this match for him

 

[Gazelle]

Where did you hear this???

Eurosport commentators

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tsitsipas breaks back. The Greek can get it done possibly in 3 now.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

fight

Seems Tsitsipas is doing just that.

 

[Hitman]

Federer is out....

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Pablo is one of the SEXIEST men in tennis!!!! AND he has the best hair!!!! (;

 

[Kralingen]

For better or for worse Tsitsipas is a multi-slam winner eventually. I'm very confident in that prediction

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

For better or for worse Tsitsipas is a multi-slam winner eventually. I'm very confident in that prediction

Who will get there first: Tsitsipas, Medvedev or Zverev???

 

[Aussie Darcy]

PCB leads this set 5-4.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tsitsipas backhand winners wow.

Let's NOT award people multiple slams before they even win 1. Hell, before they even make a slam final.
2019/2020 - Medvedev was supposed to be the next big thing. He dominated HC season.
2 years - he's NOT come close to winning a slam.

Djokovic is ROCK solid on hards and grass and Nadal is on clay. These guys won't relinquish anytime soon. I don't see Titaps winning a slam for a couple of years at the very least.
Titspas is also mentally weak. And his ROS is a liability outside of clay.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tsitsipas in control.

15-30.

Good pressure.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tsitsipas close to victory now.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tsitsipas breaks!

He'll serve for the straight set win to make his 2nd straight RG QF

 

[Hitman]

The key break at the perfect time.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tsitsipas just 1 game from another RG QF. Made his first last year and looking to do it again. He is looking like a real threat for the title!

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

PCB collapsing at the worst moment

 

[Hitman]

Solid win....

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Stefanos Tsitsipas defeats Carreno Busta in straight sets to make his 2nd French Open QF.

Impressive display from Stefanos who now faces the winner of Garin/Medvedev.

Looking a real threat this RG.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tsitsipas wins! Impressive win!

 

[bjsnider]

Interesting to me that this thread has 4 pages by the time the match is over, where an inconsequential Federer match against Joe the plumber, or a Nadal match against Sparky the wonder turtle gets 30-something pages

 

[TennisFan3]

Well done by the Greek. Excellent straight sets victory.

 

[Pablo1989]

Disappointing performance by the Spaniard.

 

[Krish0608]

Tsitsipas taking care of business like a champ. Good he didn’t waste any energy out there today. He’ll be fresh and ready for the 2nd week.

 

[TennisFan3]

I feel sad about tennis after the big 3. These match threads are completely deserted.
People care MORE about Fed and Nadal practicing than these guys playing a QF grand slam.

Will the TTW board cease to exist after the big 3? What will we talk about?

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

In this match we really saw how good Tsitsipas's shotmaking can be when he is playing great, especially with the zones he chooses to find with his forehand

 

[RF-18]

Tsitsi has a great shot at revenge against his nemesis Medvedev. It's time now for Tsitsi to turn this rivalry around.

All posts made will be in the "Former Pro Player Talk" section.

TTW was here before the Big 3 (and I would argue it was a LOT better). It will be here after. Those of us who care about the game will still be here. The three tribes will, at last, be in the "Former Pro Player" section.

 

[March31]

So far Med's and Tsitsi's matches look like twins, lol.

 

[skip1969]

These beatdowns have go to end sometime, no? I mean . . .

 

[Krish0608]

Tsitsi has a great shot at revenge against his nemesis Medvedev. It's time now for Tsitsi to turn this rivalry around.

Hope he does man. Medvedev is in his head for sure and Stef is a bit spooked by Medvedev. Won’t be that shocked if he loses. But we’ll see.

 

[TennisFan3]

41 winners 17 UFEs for Titspas. Wow!

 

[RF-18]

He has the surface and conditions in his favour. It would be a real disappointment if he can't do it now. A travesty really. Now is the time for him to hit back at Med.

I’m a fan of tennis before a fan of any individual player. I like the way Stefanos plays and I even enjoy his quirky personality. Whether you love him or hate him, at least he is not vanilla and boring. Medvedev also has a quirky persona which I personally find appealing. The rivalry between the two promises a doozy should they both make it through this round. I can’t wait.

Shirtless Tsitsipas was a good end to the match.

 

[lordlosh]

TennisFan3 usually have very good opinions, so he maybe just misjudge him, so who knows.
But people way too often are going only on the mental part, where there is way more factors involved. As sometimes you just cannot use this level for long or just make a few bad decision, that cost you. You can't put everything on a person being mentally weak.
And tennis calendar is quite long, and you have tons of matches, and everyone have days where he is feeling alright, and at some time, he is starting to feel bad, and nothing works for him. It's the same with tennis players, no matter that they are PRO. They just reduce the low days better.
Still long calendar, a lot of matches, you obviously will have matches where you lose badly, and where you are not mentally 100% prepared.

Shirtless Tsitsipas was a good end to the match.

The guy does have that Greek God/Great Philosopher look, but sadly his tweets contradict that significantly.

 

[EllieK]

Shirtless Tsitsipas was a good end to the match.

He’s really been working on that body.

Pablo is one of the SEXIEST men in tennis!!!! AND he has the best hair!!!! (;

I think Stefanos has the best hair but then I thought, and still think, Borg is the sexiest thing to ever walk on a tennis court. They have a similar look
