2021 Rome Masters - General Discussion

[Nuclear Warhead Sinner]

These power play, sudden death and prediction threads are annoying me lol, I can barely find the general discussion.
Anyways, Monfils seems to have a more compact, flat and piercing forehand. This is very promising for him, if he wants to stay competitive for a few more years considering his age.

Opelka should be disqualified for his homeless style shirt.

No that's just a grizzly bear shot with a paint ball gun lost in the mud.

Its sad to see a talent like Musetti being dominated by a servebot who has no future

Maybe it's time to reassess Musetti's talent then.

More like time to reassess entire nextgen's return as a shot

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Carreno Busta withdraws and gives Nishikori a walkover to the 3R.

@ozmo_sasa
·Nadal: We (Big3) are getting older and we are playing less tournaments, younger players are getting better, and nothing lasts forever, I accept that. At the same time, I will keep on fighting to win the big titles.

 

[Sudacafan]

No comments on now playing Berrettini vs Basilashvili 3-3 in the third set? Battle of facial hair.

It’s part of the learning process. Nothing sad about this loss. Next time he will know how to play against a servebot.

Well, if Opelka turns out to achieve Isner’s career success, it won’t be bad (for Opelka).

To some degree.

But Musetti is just Gasquet with better hair and less talent I think.

Skull and face pilosity mean a lot in new gen tennis.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Oh man these shots from Monfils to stay in this match, wow.

 

[Sudacafan]

He’s a great entertainer. I prefer his act to Kyrgios’s.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Sonego ends up breaking Monfils and he'll serve for the win.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

His flare is more fun and he is just a likeable character. I'm keen to see the Monfils Svitolina wedding for sure!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Sonego consolidates the break and he defeats Monfils in 3 sets.

Quite the match, 2 hours and 49 minutes.

He meets fellow Italian Mager in the 2R.

 

[Arak]

To some degree.

But Musetti is just Gasquet with better hair and less talent I think.

He’s only 19. I think too early to judge.

 

[Arak]

Sonego exchanging some nice words with Monfils at the net.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

No Gael , hypothetically almost all the French players could lose R1 at the FO this year, as Humbert is really not a clay courter

Monfils has lost his heart after that dubai loss to djoko, he's not the same player afterwards.

thanks for teaching me a new word

It feels like Pouille, Monfils, Gasquet, Mannarino, Pair, Tsonga hasn´t won a match in over a year!

 

[USO]

Let’s go Fritz!

 

[Sudacafan]

thanks for teaching me a new word

Sorry, I did not find a better translation from my native language.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Gioco Djokovic

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Sorry, I did not find a better translation from my native language.

What's your native language, gentleman?

 

[Sudacafan]

What happened to that lefty Frenchie who did so well in last RG? Hugo Gaston. He ousted Wawa in 5 sets, before losing to Thiem also in 5 in 4R.

 

[Sudacafan]

What's your native language, gentleman?

Español.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Español.

Me alegro de saberlo.

 

[Sudacafan]

Schwartzman vs FAA just started.
(I am so glad that FAA is known by his acronym, as I am very lazy to type his compound last name.)

Felix Auger Aliassime

Yes, thanks. Typing all that is excruciating for me.

 

[junior74]

Fritz needs Djokovic to get a tear bigger than 2.5 cm or he is out

 

[Deleted member 629564]

It's very nice of Leonardo Di Caprio to play against Djokovic in Rome this year.

 

[Sudacafan]

What’s going on with Diego in 2021? A crisis of self confidence?

 

[Hitman]

I see The Earth's Mightiest is out on court against Fritz

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

2020 was his peak, now he's back to average top25 level category.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Naah, he'd come out on court tomorrow against sinner, gentleman.
Nadal is practicing atm I think.

Not talking about Chunkdal my fellow kind and noble gentleman, but Earth's Mightiest himself. Seems to be taking it to Fritz atm.

 

[Hitman]

Not underestimating the talent of the man that took the heavyweight champion to 5 sets in AO. The threat is there.

 

[Arak]

Difficult to assess Djokovic’s current level with Fritz playing so badly.

Nadal is the greatest warrior of tennis world not djokovic, sir.
Otoh, Fritz denied nole a revenge match against Dan Evans. I always love to see big3 taking a revenge, its sweet.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Fritz isn't playing bad, he's playing his game which unfortunately for him, plays right into the hands of Nole, who loves power hitters who can't generate angles.

 

[Red Rick]

If Djoko doesn't start faking injury now I'll be very disappointed.

 

[Hitman]

Hey. Can we be serious for a minute?
