ATP Paris MASTERS 2021 - OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD

[Bubcay]

Ruud missing an unmissable shot.. It could cost him a lot..

 

[Red Rick]

Unlike Thiem, I feel Ruud lacks a lot on touch and comes out on the worse end in a lot of hollywood points.

We will become world champion before Ruud wins a dropshot point todya

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Med vs Zverev, a rematch after last year's final. Who do you think will win the match?

 

[Red Rick]

lmao

up there in contention for 'miss of the year'

nah that's me with that girl that was flirting with me last month.

wat

 

[Bubcay]

Yeah, this is not looking good for Ruud. Well, Zverev : Medvedev should be a more interesting match anyway..

 

[Sysyphus]

nah that's me with that girl that was flirting with me last month.

wat

a conversion rate worse than zverev vs top 10 in slams

wat

 

[Kralingen]

Bad miss by Ruud but can’t fault him too much. Inch perfect returns and simply higher level capability from Zverev.

 

[Bubcay]

85% of first serves won... Zverev is indeed a serve bot

 

[SteffiGoat]

3 BPs saved so calmly....

ZedZilla

 

[Sysyphus]

 

[TheAssassin]

Zverev is going to save every break point for the rest of the week isn't he...

 

[junior74]

Zed is an ATG outside the slams

 

[Kralingen]

Zverev has a weak chin I’ve just realized.

 

[Red Rick]

a conversion rate worse than zverev vs top 10 in slams

wat

Grigor Mortis yesterday was bad enough y you gotta do me like that man.

 

[Sysyphus]

it ain't over till the last veuve clicquot is poured, as we say in Snarøya

 

[Gazelle]

Fun match, don't know why Murray is considered boring by internet tennis fans. You see how the crowd was pulling for him? Lmao never seen Djokovic get crowd support like that.

It's weird cause I don't see how Murray is any less boring than Djok. Maybe it's his visible torment that makes him more relatable than the ******?

 

[Red Rick]

it ain't over till the last veuve clicquot is poured, as we say in Snarøya

I'm not gonna try speak Norwegian again you know why

 

[phl92]

Can someone explain me why in Paris ball kids and line judges still wear masks? No one else in the stadion wears masks. Is this the new standard to discrimnate them?

I'll have two of those bad boys!

 

[Red Rick]

It's throat armor vs He Who Must Not Be Named

 

[Bubcay]

Nice combo by Ruud...

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Can he get the insurance break?

 

[Bubcay]

Ruud holds, barely...

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Zverev has only had 3 aces in this match - that's a really low number for him. Medvedev had 13 aces in his match earlier.

 

[Red Rick]

Ruud is embracing his lord and savior, Andy Roddick Approach shots

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

3 match points...

 

[junior74]

Das Zod im Control

 

[SteffiGoat]

With this win, Zverev overtakes Tsitsipas and gets back to World Number 3 EXACTLY four years after he first got to be ranked 3rd in the World (6th November 2017).

What a coincidence

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Zverev not giving Ruud any chance at all on his serve, brutal

 

[Kralingen]

Zverev-Medvedev will be quite an interesting match.

 

[Sysyphus]

Ruud is embracing his lord and savior, Andy Roddick Approach shots

all hail

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Medvedev vs Zverev is going to be a really interesting semi-final tomorrow; looking forward to it! It's what I thought was going to be the USO final tbh. Zverev can take the #2 spot if he wins this tournament so that makes it interesting too.... I think Zverev played a better QF overall than Medvedev did imo. But tomorrow is a new match!

 

[junior74]

all hail

 

[TheAssassin]

Stupidly gave the break in the first set. Can't complain about the second, Zverev was executing perfectly.

Interesting feeling being engaged in a tennis match patriotically for the first time... Well, ever lol. Good luck in Torino, Casper.

 

[Red Rick]

all hail

 

[Red Rick]

all hail

I swear the best part is Fed turning around like "what the **** is this peasant doing"

 

[James P]

Zverev is officially #3 in the world again for the first time in a while. Congrats to him. YE#2 is still in the balance and tomorrow's match will be crucial in resolving this.

Zverev is real number 3 this year. But he should have made a slam final, especially at RG. Hope next year he will be a slam champion.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Hurkacz started well

 

[NAS]

Zverev is real number 3 this year. But he should have made a slam final, especially at RG. Hope next year he will be a slam champion.

There is no real number three in computer ranking, if Zverev wants third ranking he should get it by winning more matches.
Well he have become number three now

So nobody watching Djokovic - Hurkacz

Separate thread..

The most vivid Djokovic fans saying it's vintage Djokovic. Everyone else agreeing Hubi is a muggy pusher with terrible movement

This year Paris surface is not doing HH any favour, he don't have pace on his shots, he relies on surface, so after 5 straight year being fast or medium fast, this year Paris is either medium or medium slow.
HH don't have big weapons for slow surface, this is why I was really impressed with his Miami title, defeated some good name on slow surface.

 

[Nostradamus]

With novak sawn up the #1 ranking, what motivation does he have even to play the ATP tour finals ?? he might just tank it all and go on Vacation

He still needs to overtake Federer's all-time haul of 6 YECs. Currently he's on 5 along with Lendl and Sampras.

 

[N01E]

Jelena thinking highly of the tournament judging from the shoes.
