Agree, Ruud has no chance only Zverev can stop Djokovic here I feel his game is good enough to beat Djokovic, Tsitsipas will fight but falter as he always does
Not worried about Ruud or Sissypas really. It’s Z who can beat him.Good match and what a dominant tiebreak!
I still doubt Djokovic beats Ruud and Tsitsipas back to back. The schedule is not favorable to him and too much choking when serving out sets.
Not sure Novak needs to be leaving it all out there now given the clueless scheduling yet again.Good match and what a dominant tiebreak!

FAA seems really bad at point construction. The guy has the power, speed, consistency and a good enough slice to win more points from the baseline on his own terms. But time and again, Novak just yo-yo'd him around. Alcaraz and Shapo are waaaay better at ending points. FAA just seems to just want to rally out there.
Lol, the amount of respect I gained (and subsequently lost) for Felix tonight is basically a sine curve. Up and down and up and down.
Still comes out with his head held high for me though, that was definitely better than I expected from him.
Monfils is way more epic than FelixReminds me of a young gael monfils minus the muscle. Not aggressive. Passive.
Really? On clay at sea level Tsitsipuss is better than Zverev surely.Not worried about Ruud or Sissypas really. It’s Z who can beat him.
Maybe I’m wrong.
Faa at Wimbledon could be a story in making. Just a hunch.Lol, the amount of respect I gained (and subsequently lost) for Felix tonight is basically a sine curve. Up and down and up and down.

According to you Djokovic is never even decent when he loses a match. Unlike Nadal who is always great when he loses.He hasn't proven he can take down Nadal or Djokovic playing at least at a decent level in BO5.
Tsitsipas is so mentally weak, it isn't even funny. He will never beat Djokovic on clay.Tsitsipas would give this Djokovic a very good match right now.
He's not in totally amazing form, but his serve+FH are looking back to where they were a year ago and he has gotten a little smarter at using slice and touch shots.
Depends on how long their respective SFs go but that one would be close to a toss-up for me right now. Tsitsipas is a great player on clay.
Could you please explain what you mean by 'Tiny'?Next album "NGBS: Why did Tiny Carlos ruin it "
You know I think RG could be one of Tsitsipas Or Alcaraz. Is it me or does it look like Tsitidipas has been building all the last 12 months to rectify last year.Tsitsipas would give this Djokovic a very good match right now.

How do we know this? And Nadal usually wants a day match as he always loses at night nowadaysHold up.
Wasn't Djokovic supposed to play the day match in the semifinal? That is, while Nadal was still in the tournament?
Teeee-heeeee
PequeñoCould you please explain what you mean by 'Tiny'?
His pecker or something else?
Basically correct. But Shapo is probably even worse at point construction.FAA seems really bad at point construction. The guy has the power, speed, consistency and a good enough slice to win more points from the baseline on his own terms. But time and again, Novak just yo-yo'd him around. Alcaraz and Shapo are waaaay better at ending points (although Shapo also self destructs a lot). FAA just seems to just want to rally and play defense out there.
His opponent played really well. Are you saying he didn’t have his game face on?If he was all business, he would have won this match 6-3 6-3...lol

Don't be too sure about that. Tsitsipas looks very very focused.Tsitsipas is so mentally weak, it isn't even funny. He will never beat Djokovic on clay.
Not good . Another sleepless night for me... It sucks being Down Under for the European leg of the season..Night match again tomorrow. Good.
I think we just have to accept and expect mid match brainfarts from now on. Certainly in best of three format at least. The improvement is there though and that's great news with the Slams just around the corner.If he was all business, he would have won this match 6-3 6-3...lol
I just hope that those brainfarts won't be costly for Novak... He is definitely on the right path and looks miles better than just a few weeks ago..I think we just have to accept and expect mid match brainfarts from now on. Certainly in best of three format at least. The improvement is there though and that's great news with the Slams just around the corner.

The final would be tough for Djokovic either way, if he were to make it of course. I expect the philosopher to take down Zedzilla.Not worried about Ruud or Sissypas really. It’s Z who can beat him.
Maybe I’m wrong.
No. He is only 172cm. Tiny guy.Could you please explain what you mean by 'Tiny'?

Links or it didn't happen!No. He is only 172cm. Tiny guy.
Again fake hype.Links or it didn't happen!
The world authority on all human knowledge (Wiki) says he is 6'1".
Are you calling yourself out as fake hype?Again fake hype.
Yep. People are forgetting he was doing this a lot last year while serving for sets, matches, or in tiebreakers with match points...I was complaining a lot about it. Sissy in '20 Paris, Berry in '21 Paris, Nadal 3rd set Paris '21, Fritz in '21 Rome, Berry at '21 Wimby.... Just part of age. As much as want to believe so, he's not the same player he was in his 20s or early 30s. Still a boss, thoughI think we just have to accept and expect mid match brainfarts from now on. Certainly in best of three format at least. The improvement is there though and that's great news with the Slams just around the corner.
I'm against all forms of propaganda. I don't create hype... I distinguish it for the betterment of ttw. I keep ttw safe from dissimformation.Are you calling yourself out as fake hype?
Please clear the air here, because too many are spreading tennis disinfo.
Correction its King CarlosNext album "NGBS: Why did Tiny Carlos ruin it "
Alcaraz will win 25 slams. I'm hyping up though. Just want to be bumped in 2037I'm against all forms of propaganda. I don't create hype... I distinguish it for the betterment of ttw. I keep ttw safe from dissimformation.
Premature propaganda. @Lleytonstation, put these fools in lineFelix will be a force on grass maybe this year itself, that serve and his forehand will be amazing. If he can stretch Djokovic on clay like this then on grass for which his game suits to the T it will be a match to savour
I promise you we can bump this in a few weeks when he loses 3rd round then again at WC when he gets bounced in round 2.Alcaraz will win 25 slams. I'm hyping up though. Just want to be bumped in 2037
Look at him stood next to Nadal. The dude is not even 6 foot, let alone 6'1. Looks more like 5'11. Obviously a good height for any normal person, but in tennis that's short. That's why he's called Tiny Carlos.Links or it didn't happen!
The world authority on all human knowledge (Wiki) says he is 6'1".
This has been my point as well. He seems to "construct" and "construct" when he's already supposed to start hitting it. Perhaps, he lacks confidence to get that ball well in the corner. Anyhow, Felix ends up running and defending when his opponents cannot wait "constructing" anymore.FAA seems really bad at point construction. The guy has the power, speed, consistency and a good enough slice to win more points from the baseline on his own terms.
