have we no standards other than those imposed on us?

 

[sortof]

Etch in 4 highly entertaining sets, high time to dispose of the Zedrot. ABZ will thrive again!

 

[lud]

Z in 3
6-3,6-3,6-0

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Goldie chainz marches on here!

 

[TheNachoMan]

What is an Etchverry? Does it taste good?

 

[Tennfan123]

Etche whatever to show just how weaksauce Zed really is.

 

[L4S10s]

ABZ about to be awaken from its slumber

 

[SteffiGoat]

Zverev looking to make it to 3 consecutive semis at RG! RG is by far his best slam.

Cherry flavour with a raspberry.

He was just 2 points away from the USO title.

Can say this about Tsitsipas too. Sorta sad to think about how many young players might have had their Slam breakthrough here if not for Rafa and Djokovic.

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Day session, should start around 1500 on Wednesday.

 

[ibbi]

This going to be epic. So happy it's during the day.

Impressive after serious injury

 

[weakera]

The only interesting match of this tournament through the SF will have been Djokovic vs. Alcaraz.

It's interesting and sort of odd that players like Tsonga, Soderling, and Zverev are so tough at RG.
You'd think they'd be entirely clueless on clay as none of them are clay specialists.

 

[Mike Sams]

The only interesting match of this tournament through the SF will have been Djokovic vs. Alcaraz.

You didn't enjoy Holger Rune vs Francisco Cerundolo????
7-6(3), 3-6, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(7) in an epic battle!

It turned out to be a dramatic match but it's hardly an interesting matchup. Clara Tauson and Leylah Fernandez played a dramatic match too but it's not an interesting matchup. This tournament has no sex appeal.

 

[Benf15harp]

This is laughable. I got a text last night from Mr. Z and he said I pity the fool named Etcheverry.

 

[travlerajm]

My practice buddy keeps reminding me that he beat Etcheverry (when they were juniors). And since I beat my practice buddy a few times in practice (and lost to him about 40 times), I’m going to be rooting for Etcheverry based on the transitive rule of bragging rights.

So you have a full entitlement to claim that you are a moral RG quarterfinalist.
A quarterfinalist at least.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Zverev in 3! Goldie is on a mission!

 

[ibbi]

Let's goooooooooooooooo!

 

[Chanwan]

Just when I thought Alize Lim couldn't get more adorable

 

[Hitman]

This could be tasty.

 

[Sentinel]

Commun Zverev!!!

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Etcheverry gets out of trouble.....

 

[ibbi]

If Zverev's serve gets to that place and stays there for the rest of the week, it could be curtains for everyone.

If he's THAT worried about hitting a second serve up 40-15 in his first service game, it's maybe an indication he's not there.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

The first chapter of a glorious new rivalry:

ZVEREVERRY

 

[Kralingen]

Zverev is the only one who even has a prayer in the final btw, because of his serve. That is extremely clear to me.

 

[sortof]

Already 2 DFs by zedrot - a promising start!

 

[NeutralFan]

Cracking FH from the unknown Argentine.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Epic start already! Both players come out well.

 

[Arak]

What’s wrong with the umpires at RG?

 

[NeutralFan]

What a BH DTL from Z .

 

[Winners or Errors]

What’s wrong with the umpires at RG?

RG, and all clay tourneys really, need to start using Hawkeye. Shamefully bad calls at this tournament.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Carlos vs Novak will have more replies than this before it even starts.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

What’s wrong with the umpires at RG?

This one looks like she could use some cardio

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Argentine holding his own at moment!

 

[ibbi]

Carlos vs Novak will have more replies than this before it even starts.

The world is overrun with casuals, what can you do?

 

[ibbi]

Two shocking misses.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Goldie Chainz is like a wall! Looking good and absorbing the pace well

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Carlos vs Novak will have more replies than this before it even starts.

Peasants.

 

[NeutralFan]

Argentine holding his own at moment!

I see King Z getting a break here , son!

Edit: Z should play carefree attacking tennis. Shouldn't resort to pushing.

 

[Picmun]

 

[ibbi]

MUCH better dropshot that time. That shot is going to be key for him.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Lovely shot by the Argentine! 3-2 up!
