Your opponent ripping return winners from both sides off of your first serve doesn’t help your confidence. Too much pressure resulting in a double fault. Gifting the break to Michelson. Let’s see if he can close.
 
Good for you, Michelsen. Find some confidence. Don't choke so much next time. Great win. Thought this'd happen when I saw the draw, as did everyone else around here.

At this rate, Tsitsipas is destined to drop out of the top 20, something absolutely unimaginable until the Australian Open 2023.
But after that final in Melbourne 2023, the Greek on hard surfaces has literally disappeared from the radar.

Now let's see, given that on the eve of the tournament he had declared to an Italian television channel that in 2025 his main focus is on the two American Masters 1000, on the grass season and on the summer hard season, the US Open above all, because he wants to do well in contexts where in his career he has always achieved little or nothing.

Plenty of us could have imagined that. He'd already been trending downward for a year and a half at that point. Even at the time it felt like a fluke that he even made the 23 final. He hadn't played his best tennis in a long time by that point, but got a very soft draw and capitalized on it.

Sinner looks HUGE. He wasn't this big during the indoor season, was he? I confused the two players at the beginning of the match :-D

Tsitsipas, man...

As I said, he looks like a guy who's checked out all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a really early retiree.

I'm not insinuating anything, I'm saying he looks twice the size he did the last time I saw him, and am wondering if I'm imagining things or if anyone else thinks the same.
Looked pretty big to me too. He's also moving around so fast I'm afraid he's going to blow a knee or something. :eek:

I inserted a lol emoji, but my device and website doesn't sync. I meant it facetiously. There's something not quite right about his PED circumstance, if you ask me.
