2021 US Open QF: [4] Alexander Zverev vs Lloyd Harris

[TennisFan3]

Zverev's FH has really improved. I like it even though there are more errors. Nice to see him play a bit more aggressively.

Really? 8 Winners and 16 Errors in this match so far.
That is called an improved forehand?
This won't get the job done against any top player: Novak/Rafa/Fed etc.

 

[Kralingen]

Dude how can you say this after this performance by Zverev. The guy is playing on one of the highest HC levels in tennis history. Djokovic doesn't have a prayer against this guy. Stop worrying...

He's worse than prime Murray/Wawrinka level right now let alone the Big 3 lol

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Do I read a great novel or do I continue watching this awkward match, dunno yet

 

[romeo8880]

Zverev got bored that’s all

Is Berrettini also the highest HC level ever? Oh, and yesterday it was Medvedev

Novak's path to the final:
QF - hit to backhand
SF - hit to forehand

 

[fundrazer]

Zverev really does need to close this out right now though.

 

[TennisFan3]

This is the Harris I was talking about. Winners after winners. That forehand inside out was so Federer like. Run around backhand and hit the winner I/O on the forehand.

 

[RF-18]

Read the book. Much healthier.

[El_Yotamo]

Tennis: it's evolving but backwards

 

[TennisFan3]

Novak's path to the final:
QF - hit to backhand
SF - hit to forehand

QF - hit to backhand
SF - hit to forehand and attack WTA 2nd serves
Final: Just attack overall and go to the net against a defensive player.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

MAD SERVING

The novel isn't going anywhere.....watch the match in case we get a corker!

 

[ibbi]

BIG SASH!

 

[ark_28]

If Harris can hold and break I would still back him to win this match

 

[tudwell]

MAD SERVING

Yeah that was some clutch stuff. Gonna need heaps of that on Friday.

 

[fundrazer]

Balls of steel on that one. I didn't realize though that it was only 4-3. Thought he was serving for the match.

If he doesn't break Lloyd here I wonder how the next service game will go.

 

[The Fedfather]

Snatched Harris' comeback just like that. Servebotting is a nice skill to have

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

@TennisFan3 what about this serving by Zod to win the game, still a mental midget ?

 

[TennisFan3]

Zed is annoyed and complaining to his box constantly. Leading 2 sets to 0 and still complaining. That's the other struggle with him -mental stuff.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Wow, what a point!

 

[TennisFan3]

@TennisFan3 what about this serving by Zod to win the game, still a mental midget ?

His first serve is ON FIRE. Excellent serving. Full credit for that. It's kept him in the match.

 

[The Fedfather]

That's a nice point. 2nd in the match lol

 

[ark_28]

Zed is annoyed and complaining to his box constantly. Leading 2 sets to 0 and still complaining. That's the other struggle with him -mental stuff.

This is why I don’t think Harris is out of this despite the score line

 

[Shu-Pak]

BOOM goes the dynamite!

 

[TennisFan3]

This is what I was talking about. Monster DTL forehand winner by Harris. When he hits his forehand like that - he is unplayable. Really reminds me of Fed.

 

[junior74]

A shame he couldn't find this level of intensity a little earlier on

 

[guga_fan]

This is why I don’t think Harris is out of this despite the score line

Nah, Harris had his chances. He gave up on the match from the start of the set and decided to play when he saw Zverev collapsing. This will be a learning experience for Harris.

 

[TennisFan3]

This is why I don’t think Harris is out of this despite the score line

More importantly crap like this by Zed - will get him killed vs Novak. He's thrown his racquet THRICE in this match.
He complained for 20 mins about a useless screen issue.
He is constantly shaking his head and complaining to his box. You show Negative energy and top players will feast on that in the opponent.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Zed is annoyed and complaining to his box constantly. Leading 2 sets to 0 and still complaining. That's the other struggle with him -mental stuff.

I'm also wondering about the negative body language, I mean, why?

 

[liriel]

Wow I thought Zverev was better mentally. He's still winning. Should we be complaining though since Novak lost many sets and still won?
I'm also wondering about the negative body language. Is this his true personality?

 

[TennisFan3]

2nd best ROS of the tournament from Harris.

 

[The Fedfather]

A shame he couldn't find this level of intensity a little earlier on

Mentality is such a huge factor. How many matches are lost in players' heads before they are lost on the court?

 

[El_Yotamo]

It's finally over, what an awful match
No way Zverev is beating Djokovic. No matter how poorly Djokovic plays he will not implode as much as Harris did today and that alone will be enough against this manchild

 

[TennisFan3]

OMG how HOT are those two blondes. It's crazy. Harris has definitely SCORED. Who cares about this match?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Goldie Chainz through. A dominant performance. Well Djokovic hard work really starts now. Let’s see how it goes for the heavyweight champion later tonight.

 

[ark_28]

Not that impressed with his level today. Pretty confident Novak will beat him once Novak comes through later

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

That's it! Wish we could have gone on but oh well. Congrats to Zverev!

 

[Magneto89]

Harris made a good accounting for himself this tournament. I can see him giving top 20-30 players some trouble

 

[liriel]

Dr jekyl & mr hyde. Went from angry to being (fake) nice and joking.

 

[Nadal_Django]

QF - hit to backhand
SF - hit to forehand and attack WTA 2nd serves
Final: Just attack overall and go to the net against a defensive player.

What 2 serve. The guy doesn't hit 2 serves at all.

 

[Krish0608]

Upto Novak now to save tennis and take out the trash

 

[El_Yotamo]

Notice what Goldie Chainz just said in his on court interview. He hopes Djokovic-Betrettini lasts 8.5 hours so he can get to the finals. Tells you something about his belief...

 

[Nadal_Django]

All in all marvelous performance by Zverev. He is in scary form. Absolutely unplayable right now.

 

[The Fedfather]

Harris is no match for Zverev all things equal, but Zverev had such obvious moments of weakness today, was emotionally unstable, and Harris completely failed to take advantage, collapsing himself. Will be frustrated with himself.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

djokovic needs to get through NoReturnTini quick. Hes gonna need it for Zverev.Med back to back

 

[RG GOD]

I smell fear in djoko fans.
Zverev straight setting everyone.

 

[TennisFan3]

Can't wait for Novak vs Zedzila

Earth's mightiest warrior vs Goldie Chainz.

Here's hoping we get a good SF and it's NOT a blowout.

 

[Krish0608]

Harris is no match for Zverev all things equal, but Zverev had such obvious moments of weakness today, was emotionally unstable, and Harris completely failed to take advantage, collapsing himself. Will be frustrated with himself.

Amply helped by Zverev’s gamesmanship and stalling on SP.

 

[TennisFan3]

djokovic needs to get through NoReturnTini quick. Hes gonna need it for Zverev.Med back to back

Med could lose to FAA. Did you see their previous match - Med barely won that after being down in every set.
