[SteffiGoat]

Excellent hold by Zverev. 5-4*

 

[Spin Diesel]

Classic dimitrov important service game

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Fabrice Santoro making fun of Dimitrov lol.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Dimi reminding us why he’s still a clown mentally.

 

[The Fedfather]

Classic dimitrov important service game

My heart goes out to all Dimitrov supporters

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Dimi closing in on No mas.......

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

You got this Grigor you got this.

 

[mehdimike]

That was the singular worst service game I have ever seen in all my years watching tennis

Stunningly poor

Leaving the lob only to land 10 feet inside the baseline was the cherry on top

The point before that he had Zverev out of position, just needed to go for FH CC BUT for some reason chose DTL which failed awefully.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

That was a very high slow lob too, lol. He could've walked to it

With that game, he may have it it the wrong direction.

 

[Picmun]

Oh wow! Dimi messing up after hard work done. 0-30

Erm, when did "Dimi" anything else ?

 

[Hitman]

Atta boy Dimi, continue to show why you haven't won a title since 2017....sheesh.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Dimi folding like a cheap tent now!

 

[The Fedfather]

14 points in a row for Zverev. Dimitrov is bleeding points to match death

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This is one mental collapse!

 

[top10]

Grigor is trying to loose 20 points in a row

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Imagine being mentally weaker than Zverev.

 

[abmk]

train wreck isn't adequate to describe Dimi in the last few points.

[Tennis Fan States63]

Dimi pulled the pin way too early and self-destruction is almost complete.

 

[Hood_Man]

Riddle: how can a set have big swings of momentum and yet be completely uncompetitive?

Answer: dunnah!

 

[The Fedfather]

Only a Zverev level front-runner could get this to deuce lmao

 

[SteffiGoat]

Saved 3 Set points.

Zverev's conversion rate on BPs is Federer-esque.

 

[abmk]

Dimi wakes up just before going off the cliff. 3 SPS saved.

 

[Picmun]

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Only a Zverev level front-runner could get this to deuce lmao

Haha true! Both love a good choke! Dimi much more than Zverev though.

 

[Beerus]

There is no way that Dimitrov didn't totally copy Fed's game.

 

[The Fedfather]

Dimi wakes up just before going off the cliff. 3 SPS saved.

Zverev is pulling him back with all his might

 

[SteffiGoat]

Zverev has been creating many BP opportunities in all his matches so far. But very poor conversion rates

 

[Hitman]

Bye Dimi

2-0 Zverev. Credit to the Z man, he is doing what he needs to do here. But Dimi....you were speaking about taking all your chances in this match....

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

GAWD!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Zverev gets the set! Classic dimi!

 

[SteffiGoat]

Zverev finally breaks and takes the set.

 

[The Fedfather]

A devastating set for Grigor. Pushed off the ground and then fell to the pits of hell

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Bye Dimi

2-0 Zverev. Credit to the Z man, he is doing what he needs to do here. But Dimi....you were speaking about taking all your chances in this match....

Yeah he talked a good tale but came up with nothing when it mattered. After that it’s pack your bags time.

 

[SteffiGoat]

Wonder if we'll get to see a classic racquet smashing session by Dimitrov in this match. Been a long time

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Dimi gets reprieve after reprieve - nah, lemme dump this into the net and end this set.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Grigor being Grigor, that being said I am impressed by what I am seeing from Zverev, it will not be easy to beat him.

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

Is it mathematically possible for a player to have more unforced errors than total points played??

 

[duaneeo]

Imagine being mentally weaker than Zverev.

lol! But we're talking BO5. Even with a 2-0 lead, nothing is certain with Zverev.

 

[Beerus]

RG final for Zverev.

 

[NeutralFan]

Atta boy Dimi, continue to show why you haven't won a title since 2017....sheesh.

What happened?Dimi was winning this lol

 

[Picmun]

Bye Dimi

2-0 Zverev. Credit to the Z man, he is doing what he needs to do here. But Dimi....you were speaking about taking all your chances in this match....

What ? Double Fault Dimitrov ? - And YOU believed him ? LOL !

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

What happened?Dimi was winning this lol

Any lead for dimi is dangerous haha

 

[NeutralFan]

Zverev is so likeable with his big game and swag. Also, he never throws that much tantrum on court. How can you dislike him?

 

[The Fedfather]

Zverev is still messing up like clockwork even when he's playing against a kamikaze error-machine in Dimitrov. I fear what will happen when Sasha faces someone who isn't playing like they came straight from the Legends tour

[SteffiGoat]

3 BPs to start the third set. Dimitrov couldn't have asked for a better start

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

He should be okay in the quarters but yeah if he’s faces someone like ruud in SF he will need cut the silly errors or chokes out.

 

[Spin Diesel]

That second set was vintage Dimitrov
