2023 Roland Garros QF: [22] Alexander Zverev vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry

[Dominic & Andrey]

ABZ in tears.

 

[The Guru]

It can't be any worse than the last one.

The last one was awesome. Can't have a more soul crushing loss than that. And I was happy for Timmy.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Huge hold again for Zverev. A little impatience from Etcheverry, perhaps....understandable under the circumstances.

 

[Hitman]

OK Z, lets see if you can serve it out.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Moment of truth coming!

 

[The Fedfather]

Etch has amazing 1st serve. Just flashing past Zverev, on clay

 

[onyxrose81]

It can't be any worse than the last one.

Either Alcaraz or Djokovic would never let those types of shenanigans happen. If they got a lead, they would put the hammer down.

USO 2020 still hurts my soul.

 

[The Guru]

Damn Etcheverry what a game

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Wow! What a shot!

 

[Hitman]

He's not going quietly!

 

[abmk]

Z pushing might cost him. Etch with a big fh DTL. 15 all.

 

[bluetrain4]

I love how much Etcheverry is enjoying this.

 

[zuluzazu]

Damn this has surprisingly been a high quality match

 

[NeutralFan]

I think Zverev and Kyrgios are 2 most talented of 90s gen, they did not fulfil their potential.

Not true. Kyrgios doesn't have ground strokes to win slams. What's his weapon except serve? Nice touch, volley that's it. Z has all the ground strokes, serve , BH and good FH when he's playing freely.

 

[The Fedfather]

Etcheverry ramping it up, no holding back, no fear

 

[ojo rojo]

Beautiful passer. Bamos

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

MP golden boy!

 

[ibbi]

Etch was THIS close to making it a trio of glorious winners in this game. Shame.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

I've never actually seen Etcheverry play, he's got some nice looking groundstrokes.

alexander the great

 

[ojo rojo]

Too muy Tomas

 

[Hitman]

Zverev into the semis!!!

It's his ..... time

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Golden boy into the semis! Goldie chainz looking great!

 

[Razer]

 

[ojo rojo]

alexander the grate

Ftfy

 

[ibbi]

Great week, Etch. Could do well in New York.

 

[SteffiGoat]

Good match. Zverev makes it to his third consecutive semis at RG

 

[Terenigma]

Who knew that when the world is focused on Djokovic/Alcaraz that it's Zverev's time to shine!

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

There it is - Alexander Zverev into the SF - 6-4; 3-6; 6-3; 6-4......impressive. Very good showing from Tomas Martin Etcheverry - stood in there toe to toe with a very good accounting of himself and his game.....very good match overall in just under three and a half hours.

 

[bluetrain4]

Very good match. Two good semis guaranteed.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Who knew that when the world is focused on Djokovic/Alcaraz that it's Zverev's time to shine!

As @NeutralFan predicted he’s the dark horse.

 

[The Fedfather]

Such a full-circle moment for Sasha to gain form after injury smack down to reach the RG semis again. Even though he got lucky with the draw, still happy for him and think it's a deserved nice turn to his story

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Is Zverev an alpha?

 

[Deleted member 798069]

Etcheverry sure was annoying, such a drama queen.... Thank you Zverev, I won't have to suffer through another Etch match

 

[abmk]

Zverev closes it out. Etcheverry put in a worthy effort for his 1st slam QF. Enjoyable tennis from him.

 

[Nostradamus]

Etcheverry sure was annoying, such a drama queen.... Thank you Zverev.

ok om , i was wrong about choking sasha. maybe he's already working with mental psych coach

 

[bluetrain4]

Kudos Zverev for generally playing well and getting it done despite a few dips and an inspired opponent; and getting to the SFs a year after his injury. Kudos to Etcheverry for a fantastic run to the QF and playing a good match once he got there.

 

[onyxrose81]

Congrats to Zverev and good showing from Tomas.

 

[duaneeo]

That was a great match, and very impressive performance from Zverev against a high-quality opponent.

 

[Razer]

Is Zverev an alpha?

If coached by Boris Becker definetly Alexander can be alpha, from his 90s generation he is only person who can beat alcaraz.

Most talented 90s gen guy for sure

 

[The Guru]

Lol Sascha what is this interview

 

[ojo rojo]

Is Zverev an alpha?

He's a giralpha

 

[Berasategui94]

Etcheverry is probably not even that close to his peak yet, he's just arriving this year. He's said he's changed his game to more aggressive this year. Interesting to see what he can do on hard courts.

 

[sortof]

Zverev makes it to his third consecutive semis at RG

Creeping into the semis without having to face a top 10 player.

 

[tennisjedi]

Zedbot's come full circle?

 

[Arak]

Creeping into the semis without having to face a top 10 player.

Etcheverry played like a top 10 for sure.

 

[roysid]

Such a full-circle moment for Sasha to gain form after injury smack down to reach the RG semis again. Even though he got lucky with the draw, still happy for him and think it's a deserved nice turn to his story

I'd be extremely happy if Alcatraz and zverev wins the semis. And zverev wins the final and a grand slam.
What a dream come true story it would be

 

[bluetrain4]

Creeping into the semis without having to face a top 10 player.

But he still did it. Plenty of players wouldn't.

 

[NeutralFan]

If coached by Boris Becker definetly Alexander can be alpha, from his 90s generation he is only person who can beat alcaraz.

Most talented 90s gen guy for sure

He was too stupid to not ask for Becker's service when he was 21-22 years old. He would have been sitting on few slams already. Becker could have made him unbeatable.

 

[onyxrose81]

Zverev listens to daddy and big bro way too much. He’s had Lendl in his corner and they couldn’t make it work.
