ATP M1000 Rome Open 2024

[mike danny]

I'm noticing more and more players tying to mimic that stretched lunged cross court BH pass that Djokovic brought to the game, both Tom and Jarry have used it in this match a few times.

I'm very slow today. Now I understand the Tom and Jerry gifs.

 

[mike danny]

Tommy has a pretty nasty kick serve.

 

[Hitman]

Incredible return from Tommy.

 

[Hitman]

That was a very ballsy hold of serve by Jarry. His mental strength is commendable.

 

[Hitman]

Jarry gets the break with a crazy return. Can this be it?

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Oh man, I want Tommy in the final, but Jarry STRONG out there!

 

[Hitman]

Jarry fluked that shot at the net.

 

[Hitman]

Oh man, I want Tommy in the final, but Jarry STRONG out there!

 

[Hitman]

One game away now.

 

[Dane_is_Finnish_OJ]

Man, this game is fun. High level stuff.

 

[Nostradamus]

Alky will be out by the Semis.

 

[Hitman]

Insane point!!!

30-0

 

[Hitman]

What a way to get MP. LOL

 

[malbaker86]

Gaaaah dayum

 

[Hitman]

3 MP saved!

 

[Hera]

3 MP saved!

Make it 4

 

[Hitman]

Dang, what a game!

 

[Hitman]

What a forehand slice by Tommy, sick!

 

[zvelf]

I think Jarry will win, but Paul has played an admirably strategic match to compensate for the power advantage Jarry has.

 

[Hitman]

Congrats to Jarry for his first masters final, what a heck of match that was. Hats off to Paul, he played his part and made Jarry earn it the hard way. Best match of the tournament IMO. Last game was epic!

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Jarry wins! What a match, pure entertainment. WOW.

 

[Hera]

Great match!!! Jarry with back to back amazing matches. Tommy competed so well, good tournament. Hope to see him doing well at RG.

 

[Hera]

Jarry wins! What a match, pure entertainment. WOW

I wasn’t planning on watching this match but work ended early today thank goodness. Great match

 

[GodlessEndeavor]

I hope Jarry destroys Zverev in the final.

 

[1hander]

I'm hoping for another epic like this.

 

[robyrolfo]

Wow, there can't be many guys on the tour as unlikeable as Jarry. Just an arrogant, self-absorbed, unsporting jerk. More on this below, but I can't stand players that act like funky bounces off the clay lines are something they did on purpose, and worthy of some special celebration.

Wow, Jarry calling the incorrect out call himself, to lose the first set. Good sport I guess?

Nah, he isn't a good sport at all. Watch the replay of his match against Moutet in Chile, where he got his butt kicked, and acted like a completely spoiled brat about it.

Jarry is impossible not to like IMO
Unless you absolutely must have a player who struts and yells

Oh, there is plenty not to like about him. As I said above, he showed his true colors when playing in front of a home crowd and feeling "important." Was a complete clown against Moutet from start to finish (egging the rude home crowd on, complaining about everything, not giving Moutet any credit for completely outsmarting him, and then trying to talk smack to Moutet after the match).

And all this was at the tournament that his daddy bought for him. So imagine, a South American playing in an event owned by his family (insert your own stereotypes about corruption here), and refusing to accept a legitimate loss.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Jarry's intense tree trunk style of hitting makes Cambodia look like Kansas.

Classic

 

[Mark-Touch]

Jarry's intense tree trunk style of hitting makes Cambodia Paul look like Kansas a bush-league player.

FTFY.

 

[I Am Finnish]

I hope Jarry destroys Zverev in the final.

Hey #ABZ

 

[Arak]

I have a feeling the matchup will be in Zverev’s favour. I don’t think Jarry can outhit him. If anyone had a chance, it was Tabilo due to his finesse shots. Anything is possible at this stage though.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

You never know with Zverev, but I think his experience will see him through for the title.

 

[pcplum]

Wow, there can't be many guys on the tour as unlikeable as Jarry. Just an arrogant, self-absorbed, unsporting jerk.

Basically a final between an arrogant twat and a wife beater.

Are you sure Moutet didn't deserve this?

 

[dking68]

Could also bring him in the top 3-2 after Wimbledon

I doubt he’ll be ranked higher than Sinner

 

[GloW]

I doubt he’ll be ranked higher than Sinner

Sinner would be #1

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Great wins for Jarry and Zverev. That should be a fun final. Both guys are heavy hitters and should be some great rallies.

Sinner the heaviest hitter of them all

 

[DSH]

Let’s go Tommy!!! We want a third set

Not even a live thread with poll for this Masters final?

 

[Ray Mercer]

Nobody cares about this match or any final match from this clay court season. It’s been absolutely abysmal with Alcaraz and Sinner out and Djokovic and Nadal playing like geriatric bums. This clay court season has been awful.

 

[sortof]

This clay court season has been awful.

... and with the Zedrot eventually winning Rome it would culminate in a dreadful low point.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Zedrot is so uninspiring. Not even posting in his match thread. His match thread may not even go beyond page 1.

uninspiring or not he still won

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Incredible performance from Zverev! Peaking at the right time for RG

 

[Nostradamus]

so does this now mean Zeverev is the Favorite going into french open to win it all ??

 

[sortof]

No, it means that the Zedrot peaked too early and reaches the FO QFs at best.

 

[GloW]

ha ha you wish

 

[robyrolfo]

Basically a final between an arrogant twat and a wife beater.

Well, we finally agree on something. Had to happen sooner or later. Indeed, it was a terrible final where you wish that somehow both of them could lose.

Are you sure Moutet didn't deserve this?

Yes, I'm sure. Moutet is a troubled soul, but he's not some spoiled or arrogant jerk. Did you watch that video? Most of the stuff was just racquet smashes and some underarm serves (which are totally fine), plus some reacting to his opponents.

The most interesting part was the Mallorca match, where he says something like, "It's a shame. I don't belong here..." which is actually an extremely humble assessment. He basically said the same thing last week against Djokovic in Rome. When he plays really poorly, he feels like he isn't at the level of a touring pro, and that he isn't giving the fans something good to watch, and he feels bad about it. VERY few guys on tour are able to be that honest.

Great wins for Jarry and Zverev. That should be a fun final. Both guys are heavy hitters and should be some great rallies.

Ugh, seriously? A terrible match of two boring players with completely uninteresting styles of play. Plus, asthetically, neither of these tall drinks of water is pleasing to the eye. I'd rather watch a challenger first round match between Gasquet and Cressy.

 

[Mainad]

Title #22 for Zverev, 1st this season and 6th at Masters 1000 level (4th on clay) placing him joint 4th with Medvedev amongst active players with Masters 1000 titles. He becomes the only active player other than Nadal and Djokovic to win multiple titles in Rome and becomes the 5th different player to win a Masters 1000 title this season.
