ATP Indian Wells 2025

[Kralingen]

That guy just spews hate.

Says Medvedev #1 fan

 

[Kralingen]

But I didn't want to start a controversy, also because @Kralingen and I, after the initial clashes because of Sinner, became great friends thanks to the common passion that binds us to LeBron (and the aversion towards those who overvalue Curry).
I was simply wondering where this hatred towards Medvedev came from.
In the last 24 hours alone in the various threads I think he has mocked him a dozen times.

It is a long long story. To put it shortly, I despise the way he comports himself, and the hypocrisy with which his fans excuse his childish actions.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

I'm supposed to be cooking here, and Fils gets a nosebleed right after a minor delay because of the wind

come on guys, get it moving

 

[Rafa4GOAT]

Love the combo of slow slices + big forehand into the corner

 

[Kralingen]

Classy celebration.

*****.

 

[Hitman]

What a fight in the end.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

What a terrible volley to end the match

 

[The Guru]

ooooooof

 

[NYTennisfan]

Damn Fils kinda choked that one away but what a performance by the young man otherwise, he's clearly ascending.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Classy celebration.

*****.

It's hard to be classy like Patrick Dorgu. ''No penalty, ref. ''

 

[Jonas78]

Fils got power, he smashed that racket so hard it jumped 10 meters

 

[sortof]

Fils overhitting crucial FHs, and a missed volley to finish it up.

 

[Bisquick]

What a terrible volley to end the match

U know Medy is gonna hit something back that’s got some quality on it.

 

[Hamnavoe]

Medvedev celebrates his victory with a convincing impersonation of Fils' celebrations when his opponent nets a regulation backhand at 3-3 30-0 in the first set.

 

[GRASScaraz]

Fils is disgusting. Sold that match

 

[YellowFedBetter]

(Had to wait a bit) YEAH!!!

Most satisfying/important win in a long time. Seeing that pure joy from Daniil made the last year all worth it.

 

[YellowFedBetter]

Medvedev celebrates his victory with a convincing impersonation of Fils' celebrations when his opponent nets a regulation backhand at 3-3 30-0 in the first set.

LOL, too true.

There was no 3 3 in the first set

 

[jeroenn]

Just saw the replay, nice going Meddy. Giving Fils a taste of his own meds.

 

[Winner Sinner]

The most exciting moment of this 2025 edition of Indian Wells, Errani humiliating Berrettini at ping pong;

Obviously I eagerly await the comment of the "genius" who will answer "Italian tennis forum please".

 

[bogdan101]

Haha!... Gotta love Meddy!

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

It is a long long story. To put it shortly, I despise the way he comports himself, and the hypocrisy with which his fans excuse his childish actions.

It's just tennis.

 

[YellowFedBetter]

It's just tennis.

I’d respond to it more than what I’m about to say,,but no point in ruining my best moment as a fan in a long time over it.

@Winner Sinner To answer your question, I got called mentally ill here just for being a Med fan last week, that’s why I don’t bother with this section 95% of the time. A majority of people in tennis are privileged hypocrites and I had my mouth full of it over the years, it’s part of why I don’t play myself anymore. I thank you for being a rare exception to that, especially as a fan of a dominant player.

But that’s all I need to say, don’t need to give such darkness any more credence.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

I like Arthur but I'm kinda glad he got humbled here. He is promising but he still has a lot to learn and to prove.

[Rosstour]

Gotta admit he won me over a little bit. I think he is a player I can benefit from watching, and I like that he stays almost totally positive on court.

Having said all that, his Dad is a big slab of beef and I think Fils will have to slim down a bit. He's not a small guy and not naturally chiseled. Not as chunky as Giron but definitely not the prototype either

 

[YellowFedBetter]

He learned that while it often is, pedigree and a game alone isn’t always enough to beat good old grit. Jimmy Connors had a row of such victims a mile long.

Still never want to face him again.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Wow, the hitting between Shelton and Draper! Superb stuff!

 

[HBK4life]

I bet Shelton hurt his neck his silly screamig.

 

[pizzadontdie]

Come on Benny! I want a third set.

 

[pizzadontdie]

Anyone else not able to get commentary on Shelton V Draper with TC app?

 

[Nostradamus]

Time to add Roof over indian well stadium and court 1. its way too windy way too often, and produces bad tennis to watch

 

[Gooner89]

Played Jack.....another home favourite dispatched.

 

[flyingboris]

Draper hangs up on Ben (are we still doing this?)

 

[Gooner89]

7 Unforced errors by Draper all match.......incredible.

 

[Pass750]

Really sparse crowd for Shelton/Draper match

 

[Nostradamus]

Played Jack.....another home favourite dispatched.

Draper was just more solid all around better player than Shelton. Only thing shelton does better is his serve

 

[Bisquick]

Really sparse crowd for Shelton/Draper match

It’s cold n windy AF so ya - even the daytime matches were somewhat sparsely attended by what I saw on TV

 

[Winner Sinner]

I said it in unsuspecting times that among the various Shelton, Rune, Musetti and Draper, the British is by far the most solid player, both mentally and in terms of play. If he manages to build a physique less subject to injuries, among the players born in the first half of the 2000s after Sinner and Alcaraz, Draper will have the best career.

This wins the award for best fan creation I’ve ever seen.

 

[flyingboris]

Cerundolo has come to play. Missed a relatively easy putaway at 30-40 for the break though.

Carlos holds after getting to 0-40 in his first service game.

 

[Winner Sinner]

However, the Phoenix Challenger with the various Fonseca, Opelka, Borges, Moutet, Cobolli, Struff, Bublik, Safiullin, Nishikori, etc., in this 2025 edition has a participation that would be the envy of many 250s.

 

[flyingboris]

Both of Carlos' service games featured break points. He's held for now, but it's not exactly been smooth sailing.

 

[bhpower]

Cerundolo is very often an ue machine in the important points.
I hope he can improve that in this match and overall

 

[McGradey]

Alcaraz struggling with conditions a lot more today than against Greg. He looks uncomfortable thus far. Sheriff Dolo does also look like tougher opposition than what Greg could muster.

Medvedev has actually revitalized this week. Most important for building the momentum after 5 months.

 

[flyingboris]

Third Alcaraz service game, third time break points.

 

[bhpower]

UE machine on bps

 

[tennisjedi]

Alcaraz's first straightforward hold of serve.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Alcaraz's first straightforward hold of serve.

And a break..

Alcaraz is able to go bhdtl easily this week.
