ATP M1000 Rome Open 2024

[InsuranceMan]

This is nuts

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tabilo is playing incredible. He has so much talent! He’s cool under pressure too. Wow!

 

[nolefam_2024]

Boom

Djokovic will be in Geneva

 

[InsuranceMan]

Holy **** this guy is a good time

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

What a way to win the set! His drop shots are magic. Alcaraz esque

His game is lovely to watch, his FH is clean he moves well, great shots and a nice lefty serve.

 

[Arak]

Incredible level from Tabilo. Playing like this, he can even beat the likes of Djokovic.

The question is, can he keep it up in the second set?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Yep. He’s a joy to watch. Exciting times for tennis. Zverev has been playing well but he’s getting smoked today. Tabilo is so talented.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Better from Zverev

 

[InsuranceMan]

Can someone who has actually been watching this tournament tell me if they’ve seen a match live up to the quality of the past 4 or 5 games from this match

 

[Hera]

Tabilo is 26 yo where has he been???

 

[Djokovic2011]

All of a sudden Djokovic's defeat on Sunday doesn't seem as bad. Tabilo's forehand is like a weapon of mass destruction.

 

[Arak]

Tabilo is 26 yo where has he been???

A flash in the pan. After this tournament, you will be asking, where did he go?

jarry Tsitsipas 2nd set was good quality

 

[Hera]

Just awful from Zverev so far.

Tsitsipas was also very unimpressive yesterday.

Sinner is right to try for RG even if not 100%, the field is absolutely dire at the moment…

Can’t handle the Expectations

 

[Hera]

Probably

 

[The_Order]

Boom

Hey clown, this isn't the thread for your Djok fapping

 

[Hitman]

Tabilo gives off Verdasco in form vibes to me.

 

[fedfan24]

Tabilo looks a little tired. Starting to push a bit and doesn’t look as sharp.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

beautiful s&v by Tabilo

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Tabilo looks a little tired. Starting to push a bit and doesn’t look as sharp.

His movement does look a bit sloppier, but Zverev's not doing great at moving him anyway.

 

[Carax]

Tabilo is not intimidaded by Zed.

 

[InsuranceMan]

Time to see if Tabilo got that dawg in him

 

[Arak]

Tabilo level went down as expected, but will it be enough for Zverev. Time is running out.

 

[Nostradamus]

with this performance, is Tabilo now the new favorite to win the French open ??

 

[Hamnavoe]

Zverev's return is awful these days.

 

[The_Order]

Tabilo has the mb...

 

[InsuranceMan]

Zverev is not exploiting at all where is the iq? Just the wrong approach completely

Ig it comes down to how bad Alejandro wants it here because he’s got a whole invitation as long as he can overcome himself

 

[Kralingen]

Zverev is just scared of real success

 

[Hitman]

Zverev should be using all of his experience here....he has actually won this title before.

 

[Terenigma]

He needs this done right here right now, just signs that he might be fading and Zverev could come back and take this in 3 if he doesn't.

The thing is Tabilo played well in the first set and Zverev was crap. Then Zverev gets better in the second, Tabilo’s went down and Zverev can’t take advantage plays tight as usual.

 

[Nostradamus]

Zeverev Don't choke

 

[Arak]

Tabilo down to his normal level. The red lining is over.

Exactly as you describe it.

 

[fedfan24]

Tabilo looks done. Zverev hasn’t really done much, just grinded him down well.

 

[Hitman]

All hail....King Zverev

 

[Terenigma]

Was worried Zverev might fold, good to see him showing fight to get back into this!

 

[Hamnavoe]

Great set point from Zverev. Tabilo doesn't look up to much at the moment.

 

[fedfan24]

Hope Tabilo can find something from somewhere, he we desperately unlucky not to break that set then was knackered by the TB. Not really sure what Zverev did well other than bot and grind?

 

[Hera]

Phew! Z held it together and adv to him now in the 3rd maybe ha

 

[Carax]

Not mine, but I thought it was pretty funny:

 

[fedfan24]

O F off Zverev.

 

[Znak]

Not mine, but I thought it was pretty funny:

Hahahaha

 

[Hitman]

Zverev breaks, this could be it.

Tabilo has come back down to Earth.

 

[Terenigma]

Not mine, but I thought it was pretty funny:

Why is Zverev being fine a bad thing? He plays good watchable tennis and has been playing fairly well in 2024 so after all the injury troubles, It's good to see him back in form.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

nooooooooooooo

 

[Kralingen]

Tabilo, back to the challengers with ye.

boooo. gross DF on BP.

 

[fedfan24]

Deplorable match. Zverev very lucky not to lose in 2 then grinds the better player down by keeping the ball in play. Ugh.

 

[Znak]

Not a Zverev final, please. Please.
