2024 Paris Bercy ATP Masters 1000

[Mainad]

I am French and used to like Ugo but his behavior is DISGUSTING. Totally classless.

How so?

 

[Sudacafan]

How so?

Yes, Khach was clearly injured at 2:2, he called a trainer in the 3:2 changeover. He was done.
Ugo went on celebrating each point with the fist up, when his opponent couldn't clearly run.
Classless. I even did not like him when Khach was not injured.
As I said, I am still a card carrying member of the ABZ, but tomorrow I'll be cheering for Z.

 

[Succession]

Yeah I think so as well

Ugo should have answered with a mildly modified Khachanov political quote from 2022:

'... talks should not be conducted from a position of strength with the weaker side.
(...) he yelled, should demonstrate its power (...) and show its greatness to the world.'

​

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

How so?

Constant fist pumping and grunting, time violations etc.

 

[Arak]

I think he took a page from Fils. In any case, Zverev will probably come prepared. He wasn’t as affected in Paris as he was in Hamburg so he seems to have learned his lesson.

I am not sure about this, I expect the most intense crowd in years tomorrow, it will be epic and possibly spiral out of control, as Ugo is a master in hyping up the tension through including the Bercy folks

Don‘t you know the meaning of “anyone but“? Not sure if we can accept you any longer in our elite ABZ club

It might very well spiral out of control. I hope not, but at least we get some good entertainment

 

[Tallawah Tennis]

KK was excellent this tourney, pity to be injured in the 3rd set- movement compromised. I hope Sasha can remain focused and rise above the antics that will likely be used by Ugo / rise above the crowd.

 

[AM75]

Constant fist pumping and grunting, time violations etc.

I suspect he has a TUE for some stimulator, maybe ritalin or something like this. His behaviour at last couple of tournaments is abnormal.

His intensity definitely changed, was watching him a lot earlier this year at the HC tournaments in Dubai etc. He has a strange aura, very interesting and out of reverie

Maybe the loss in the Tokyo final against a “limping“ Fils changed his demeanor. No more mr nice guy

Humbert doesn't have enough gravitas to have his own Anything But club. Had he, I would have already jumped ship.

 

[JMR]

He will end the year as world number 2 and well deserved. This can be his best ever year if he wins ATP finals + Paris + Rome

It will be a bit of a freak show if Zverev wins the tour finals. He's already the only non-slam winner to win the tour finals more than once. Winning it three times would be very strange. I'd rather see Sinner or Alcaraz take it and claim the rare and revelatory multislam + tour finals combo, which is practically a GOAT-level signifier all by itself. https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/ind...-finals-championship-in-the-same-year.775133/

Maybe then next year zverev finally wins a slam, maybe ao.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

I feel like next year could really be it for Zverev, that he just may win that elusive slam. Certainly very possible.

It's a small vessel, a mere raft of appreciators of "The Good Tennis" looking for a humble hero.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Ugo kind of acting wack. Maybe it is a Paris thing, but he seems to be chemically unbalanced.

 

[Aabye5]

You go, Ugo!

 

[JMR]

The worst thing would have been a Zverev-Khachanov final -- two tall, powerful guys who prioritize safe retrieving.

 

[roysid]

As expected, Rublev now listed on Metz as a late entry, also Dimitrov asked for a WC too. Metz is jammed with Rublev, Ruud and Dimitrov all competing, while De Minaur will play in Belgrade.

I dont understand why Rublev and Dimitrov didnt go for belgrade. The competition is much less there to get a win and thus 250 points
Metz is packed with so many hopefuls i.e 4 trying to get 250 points. Plus rune is also there

Looks like Djokovic will qualify without even trying.

 

[JJGUY]

Looks like Djokovic will qualify without even trying.

but whether he will participate is a big question mark, just imagine how annoyed Ruud, Rublev and De Minaur would feel if he decides not to, these 3 guys had to play 3 weeks straight for 2 spots, and they don't have to if Djokovic had announced the end of his season this week or earlier, they could use the last week to rest instead of playing till the last minute before the final.

 

[GloW]

Zverev please don't choke...

YEEEESSSSS

 

[KantenKlaar]

YEEEESSSSS

Congrats - well deserved.

 

[roysid]

Yes, its almost certain. Only situation where djokovic doesn't qualify
Djoker at 3910 points in race

Demon at 3745. He need to win Belgrade (250 points) . RU (165) will tie with djokovic.
Casper Ruud at 3855. Need to reach semis at Metz(100)
Rublev at 3720. He need to win Metz (250).

Now all 3 results is unlikely given their form.

Also I dont understand why Dimi has entered. He cannot touch any of them even if he wins Metz. Nor does anyone below can touch him

Dimi seriously must play for the love of the game. Is that such a bad thing?

 

[roysid]

Love of the game. Are you serious?
He first entered in Metz taking WC. But then he lost at Paris and realized he cannot qualify even if he gets 250 points. He promptly withdrew. So did DeMinaur and Rublev after playing one match

Dimitrov withdraws from Metz but will be in Turin as reserve

This Tuesday will always be remembered as the day of 'unexpected injuries' for a few male circuit players. Novak Djokovic's withdrawal from the ATP Finals has ...
