Atp 500 - Rotterdam 2025

[Hitman]

Just trying to think but I don't that Alcaraz has won an indoor title yet, not counting the Next Gen finals.

 

[Hitman]

Insane point. Has to be the point of the tournament.

Easy win. Now lets see if Hubi is getting back on track. He never made it to the SF in Rotterdam

 

[Move]

Hubi breaks back. He is moving well and his FH is stable and has depth

 

[rigged]

Didn't watch the tournament. How well is Alcaraz playing? Can he go all the way?

Pretty solid, but last two matches weren't a big challenge. I think he can take it all though.

 

[Move]

Rublev steals the first set, too many sloppy errors in the TB from Hubi

I would like to see a Mattia Carlos Final. They play the most entertaing tennis atm

Rublev's mental and serving improvement is very apparent. He had major issues with winning on his second serve last year. Glad to see it's getting fixed.

If he adds coming foreward and skills at the net that would make him very very tough to beat

agree. he's not terrible at the net from what i recall, just needs to get there more often.

 

[beanchillin]

Hbot is the better player so far. That tiebreaker was a completely different and lower level than the rest of the set

 

[jeroenn]

He's still just a hair away from a full blown mental explosion.

 

[Move]

Rublev also now has a decent BH slice when moved out wide

He still gets way too frustrated at UFEs. Tennis is all about competing while making errors

 

[Move]

Point of the match !
Finished with very difficult angled drop volley by Hubi

SIck angles

 

[Move]

Well done Hubi. I wonder how zen Andrey is going to stay in the 3rd

 

[jeroenn]

Rublev is toast. The whole stadium now knows he dislikes the high spin bounces. Asking his coach to show him 'how to do it'... I mean, you're a top 10 pro tennis player..... wtf?

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, thats for sure

 

[Move]

Wowzer both are really going at it right now !

 

[TheSlicer]

Rublev has that face that shows hes trying so hard not to lose It everytime he misses a shot, even doing meditation in the changeover, i expect a racquet throw before the match ends

 

[Move]

Nice win for Hubi ! Good match

 

[beanchillin]

Decent level from Hurkacz today. Better forehand than against Fritz in the United Cup. Alcaraz might be in trouble. A reminder that Hurkacz had 2 match points against him in the Cincinatti 2023 Semifinal.

 

[robyrolfo]

Sinner Nike, Berrettini Boss, Musetti Asics, Fognini Armani, Bellucci ?

Bella Matti!

It's a shame none of them are in Lotto or Diadora. Or Fila. Or Macron... come on! Macron would be a good brand for Bellucci.

And I think you forgot Sonegoat in Mizuno.

 

[Rosstour]

rewatching the Rublo/Herr Cats match and I heard Rublo scream out "putaaaaa!" after a mistake

If you know Spanish...lol

Yes, Alcaraz has won all three of his matches with Hurkacz so far, but they've been close - last two went three sets, and all required at least one tie-break. Interestingly, Carlos has won all of the tiebreaks that they've played.

I still favour Alcaraz, but expect it to be a close set. If Carlos's serve isn't firing, he could indeed be in trouble.

The Italian’s coach looks like he needs a shower and a haircut. I personally am willing to donate 5$ for him to buy a hair comb.

De minaur gamestyle is the worst for mattia

They’re very similar actually.

Channel your inner sinner Matti

 

[TheSlicer]

Omg, mattia doesnt have enough power to get trough Alex, plus he is not as consistent, a pity, i wanted to see him in the final... I dont want another de minaur Alcaraz or de minaur hurckaz final, boring

It seems he is playing not so care free anymore + it is his 6th game in 6 days

18 UFE

18 UFE

He was trying to be agressive, he knows hes not gonna win many points against Alex just being consistent and moving the ball

 

[Kralingen]

How Alex De Minaur has even one fan is beyond me.

How can anyone possibly enjoy this

 

[jeroenn]

I like it a lot. He's a tough cookie to crack. Very solid, very little mistakes.

I admire his work ethic and behaviour on court. But not his tennis technique, rushed, not flowing

 

[Kralingen]

He’s disgusting.

ADM has the unholy trinity of having an awful game to watch, an awful, fake personality, and a punchable rat face complete with a disgusting rat mustache.

It's absolutely revolting that he's going to marry a sweet, intelligent, strong person like Boulter. I can only hope they don't end up having rat face kids.

I wrote this @Kralingen tribute post and people were not happy

Great mover and defender. And a winner today.

Alcaraz broken at love. Still early in the match though.

You should cheer for Hubi the Underdog. He'll take care of that little problem for you.

 

[TheSlicer]

Hurckaz cant volley at all, Carlos has worked hard this set, It looked like he was gonna lose It 6-1 at one point, i start to see tactical improvements
