2024 Barcelona Open ATP 500 Final - [5] Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE) v/s [3] Casper Ruud (NOR)

[NoleFam]

Stef's dad is so annoying with all that yapping. Ruud breaks.

 

[Move]

Casper BHDTL could become crucial shot today

 

[Hitman]

Quality is higher now.

 

[Hitman]

OK sports fans, who's forehand do you like more?

 

[Hitman]

The dropshot has been money for Tsitsipas

 

[Move]

Stefs bh dropper 100 pct success so far

 

[Halfdan]

Solid play by Tsitsipas there

Tsits. Casper too loopy

 

[Hitman]

Did you see that forehand from Tsitsipas? That had Federer written all over it.

 

[Hitman]

Ruud is certainly showing more grit here, I think the win against Djokovic might have deflated him somewhat for the final last Sunday. Of course Tsitsipas overall earned and deserved it, but Ruud doesn't look mentally off here in the early stages.

My stream is way behind..lol. Set not over here yet.

 

[marc45]

Fans complaining about it is far worse.

sure it is...we're being heard by thousands, not a handful of net heads here

 

[Krish0608]

Very good tactical changes made by Ruud. He takes the 1st. This match has a different feel to it compared to the one they played a week ago. Let’s see how Stef responds.

 

[FernandoBiH]

Do you think that Ruud is better clay court player than Sinner?

 

[RS]

 

[NoleFam]

That was a well played set from Ruud. He's come to play today unlike last week.

 

[Move]

No hypotheticals in a match thread pleaaaaaase

 

[Hitman]

Tsitsipas was on court to witness the double career slam, Ruud one upped him by being on court to witness the triple career slam.

 

[Move]

Casper longing for the swimming pool !

 

[Rattie]

That was a well played set from Ruud. He's come to play today unlike last week.

He’s had enough of losing every final above a 250

 

[Move]

Ruud is not comfortable in cat and mouse play at the net …

 

[Hitman]

That has to be the point of the match, best rally so far.

 

[Move]

Great response by Stef atm

 

[Move]

2 DF …. oh my

 

[Halfdan]

Ruud has backed off his return position for some reason.

 

[Hitman]

Sick pass from Tsitsipas!

 

[Move]

Wowzaaa what a pass

 

[Move]

Great tennis, great tennis … everywhere
