ATP 250: Sydney APIA International 11-17 January

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Muller's serve is ridiculus.

Last year I was in Taipei and attended to the challenger tournament there, he won the title, he got broken only once all week (by Lacko).
He doesnt even look like he's putting much power, but the way he places it is amazing to see.

Yeah, the slice on the serve wide is brilliant

Nice point there, 3-2 Tomic back on serve.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Tomic is really giving it all now :lol:

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

That is a great match

 

[Wynter]

While he's never going to be like Nishikori/Djokovic, he's moving pretty well.

MP Muller

 

[Wynter]

THought that BH was about to land in.

 

[Wynter]

[Wynter]

My god this is going to go all night

 

[Wynter]

Muller 49 winners 15 errors
Tomic 31 Winner 10 Errors

 

[idioteque]

Man this is some of the ugliest god damn groundstroking you'll ever see...

 

[Wynter]

10-10 Muller looking more likely

 

[Underhand]

Too bad his parents haven't named him Gin, would be an awesome name Gin Tomic.

 

[Wynter]

Luckiest MP Save of the year

 

[Underhand]

Müller has good nerves for a journeyman.

 

[Wynter]

Muller 7-6 7-6 (15-13)

 

[Underhand]

Serve 'n' Volley FTW!

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Epic match Well done Muller.

 

[Bartelby]

Has Chico missed Troicki's triumphant homecoming win to the ATP?

 

[ArcspacE]

What a tie-break!

Mullr is a "journeyman" not because of lack of talent, but because of injuries throughout this career, unfortunately

Yeah too bad, he's one of the last S&Vers with Llodra.

 

[ArcspacE]

Even Federer is Serve and Volleying more and more often these days - how sad

Watching some play from the Kooyong Classic in Melbourne.

Lopez and Jordan Thompson are not happy campers! :lol:

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Thompson pulling a Serena here.

-Had a meltdown earlier in the match? Check.
-Bashing to all corners? Check.
-Multiple foot faults? Check.

Sad – only for dumb baseline bashers.

What?

Playing offensive tennis = sad?

 

[ArcspacE]

There is nothing worse and S&V, imv

Pusher or not - there is little you can do against it

Worst

There are many ways to play offensive tennis - I simply find that the lowest form

Hey ho

That's kinda the point.

Aggressive returning could be a start though.

LOL - so many Roger fanboys have taken offence in seconds

:lol:

Actually it's just me.

You can like whatever you want bro, no offense taken.

I just don't understand, that's all.

 

[jaggy]

Just woke up to see Tomic lost, shame I thought he might take this.

 

[ArcspacE]

No biggie, pal

Each to their own

 

[Underhand]

If I want to see S&Ving I watch Llodra, you blert.

Then you better have that time machine up and running, you bozo

Even Federer is Serve and Volleying more and more often these days - Thank Heavens!

What a relief from the endless baselinebotting

 

[pame]

:lol:

No, it's not taking offence on behalf of Roger - it's plain dismay at your very odd statement - no need to try to insinuate a **** war where there is none.

It's what Roger was made to do methinks.

Tomic had a couple of set points in the 2nd set tie break but couldn't convert. Muller's wide serves to the ad court were unreturnable for the most part. It was a high standard match, 13-15 in the second set tiebreak says it all.

TD

There's that thing called recorded video, you plonker.

Yes - old matches of a journeyman clogger, how inspirational

 

[Supertegwyn]

Saw the Del Potro and Tomic matches live, recorded some video but I won't be able to post till Monday. Del Potro was outplayed, mainly due to his inability to hit a topspin backhand. Tomic and Muller was bloody close and they each played well, Tomic was just a little too passive. Got Kukushkin and Muller's Autograph which was a plus. I'm going to the final as well so I'll see if I can film some more.

how do you feel about tomic crashing out!?

 

[Supertegwyn]

Muller was completely GOATing. 80% first serves, 25 aces and only offered 2 break points. Tomic isn't at the stage in his career where he can really handle that, although he kept it very competitive. Few calls in the tiebreak were a bit dodgy but Tomic had run out of challenges. It's not a super important tournament and Tomic played well in his previous matches but it's definitely not encouraging.

Glad to see that tomic didn't just give up!

Some people are connoisseurs – but how would you know that.

He was grunting and fist pumping like I've never seen him before. He did not want to lose.
