Rogi in the House today

Federer likes watching Clostebol playing

 

[Hitman]

Just got back to my hotel from watching the My Olympia in Vegas, totally tired....should be sleeping and not watching, but have to watch.

Good hold from Machac, 15-40 down

 

[FeroBango]

How's the match been so far? Just tuning in

Federer in the house
the crowd seems more interested in him

Match needs to warm up

 

[FeroBango]

Tremendous bit of skill from Jannik.

 

[Move]

The sinner serve is still improving, placement getting better imo

So are his forecourt skills.

 

[Move]

POINT OF THE MATCH !!
Great lob followed by jumping BH angled drive

 

[Move]

Match is really warming up now !!

 

[FeroBango]

When he's not erring, Machac is a God.

 

[FeroBango]

Reading each other's play really well this game.

 

[Move]

Machac running forehand is leaking a few errors now

Jumping FH by Machac !! Monfils-style

Loved that line FH before. Two players with ridiculously easy pace.

 

[Move]

Machac spraying fh errors now ... and Sinner breaks and takes the set !!
Few low paced balls fed to the fh overhit by Tomas

 

[Move]

Machac such a cool cucumber

 

[Bastion]

Machac or Fritz do not have any weapons to come near beating Sinner who is in great form.

Only Carlos and Novak (when he really wants to), can stay with and beat Sinner.

Let's hope Novak wants to go all the way here, we at least need a good final, like the previous one between Carlos and Sinner.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner is so solid. Only like 4/5 errors. He’s a machine.

Djokovic will need his Olympics form or 2023 form to have a chance. If any other 2024 version shows up then sinner wins. He’s way too consistent now. That said he has to beat fritz first.

 

[Move]

Machac tries to go to the net whenever he can. Good tactic

 

[Bastion]

Agree, and he physically did not look too good against Mensik.

Needs to strap both knees if he wants to make the final and have a chance against the top player this year.

Must ask his goat buddies, Fed and Rafa, how to manage the old knees!?

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

I must say, the Macaque is slappin' away quite impressively! It would be truly masterful to handle such a player in two straightforward sets.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Lol... by retiring?

 

[Bastion]

Lol... by retiring?

That is one plan, but what if it does not work? ;-0

That's a bad overrule from Lehyani!

Sinner has to win this first ! Machac playing really, really well

 

[Bastion]

Sinner's server is already lethal, but when somehow the other dude returns the ball, his 2nd shot is even better, no chance for any rally.

You need someone to give goat level returns that put pressure back on Sinner, or else there is no way you going to break the Sinner.

Something like the shot Machy returned down 15-40... but can someone do it consistently?

 

[Bastion]

Sinner has to win this first ! Machac playing really, really well

I am trying to jinx Sinner!

 

[Bastion]

Now or never for Tommy.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner is so clutch!

 

[JJGUY]

Was Lehyani trying to say 40 all instead of deuce, is he drunk?

 

[Move]

Great hold by Jannik !

 

[Bastion]

And, you need someone who can play 2/3 great points in a row, not only 1/3 to beat the best.

Tommy had his chances.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Machac has tried everything but sinner is way too good. Sinner’s precision, depth and power is insanely good.

 

[Bastion]

What is with all the "let's bash every and all umpires" mood these days, no matter they do?

Serious question.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

He certainly seems to be mumbling and fu**ing up EVEN more than usual.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tommy had his chances.

Basically you need to be at your A game and maintain it. Anything else won’t cut it. Right now sinner’s B game is better than anyone else in the world.

 

[Move]

Imperious serving .... does anybody know what Jannik adjusted in the recent months ?

 

[Bastion]

7-6 coming up.

 

[Move]

Great tennis now by both

 

[Bastion]

Pressure...

 

[Drighiz]

Prior to the game, bookies odds were 1.13 for Sinner and 8.2 for Machac, implying respective probabilities of 88% and 12%. I'm curious to know if you guys think these were fair odds given what we've seen? To me it's looked more like a 65/35 match...

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

I must say, the Macaque is slappin' away quite impressively! It would be truly masterful to handle such a player in two straightforward sets.

And there it is!

THE MACHINE MOVES ON

 

[Move]

GOOD win by Jannik. 27 winners, 12 UFE, 6-4 7-5 score, so good level match by both. I would love to have seen a Tiebreak

 

[Bastion]

Easy in the end for Sinner, he just go up a few levels in important points, game over.

 

[jl809]

Fair to say that Sinner is winning the war for sure rn, even if Alcaraz won the battle

A Djoker-Sinner final is a nice late season treat for us
