ATP weeks of 03/08 - 03/19: Indian Wells (1000)

[Hitman]

This is the way. All in for Foe.

 

[chuckersthenut]

Foe came up big that last game. Looked like Medvedev couldn't miss so tiafoe started hitting away from him. He used a lot of short angles.

 

[fundrazer]

Tiafoe should be saying to Med.

- I did to Nadal last year something you couldn't do.

And Med's response is I won a slam which you will never do.

 

[Krish0608]

Tiafoe has skills that could in theory trouble Med. He is the kinda player that should be doing much better against Med than the record suggests. The difference is all between the ears. Hope the "new and improved" Tiafoe can show something different.

 

[Hitman]

And Med's response is I won a slam which you will never do.

Well, lets not say never. Had he got past Alcaraz at USO, he was not losing to Ruud. But yes, he can say he won a slam, which Foe has not done so far....but also choked one in epic fashion.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Fair play to Tiafoe. Great tennis. He’s giving meddy bear a test!

 

[chuckersthenut]

That court is jam packed.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Octopus skills from meddy!

 

[James P]

9 service points dropped in 9 games, so far.

 

[Hitman]

Decent match.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Meddy FH looking good.

 

[James P]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[MeatTornado]

Ridiculous

 

[Hitman]

Med crazy...lol

Perfect time to break.

 

[MeatTornado]

9 service points dropped in 9 games, so far.

They need to slow down this lightning court!

/s

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Meddy rock solid.

 

[soft_manatee]

foe sniped meddy with that ball on the changeover

djokovic fans be like "where's his default???"

 

[Carax]

LOL now imagine if Tiafoe wins....

I would feel like this about the field:

 

[chuckersthenut]

Med looking unbeatable

 

[Hitman]

Med playing well.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Med is so cool!
He is the master of cat and mouse tennis.

 

[chuckersthenut]

That was pretty close to catching Med in the groin honestly.

 

[dking68]

Med looking unbeatable

Will lose to the winner of Sinner/Alcaraz

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

1st set to meddy! He’s a machine and great tennis by the Russian. Looking good to make it 20 wins in a row. Let’s see what Tiafoe got now?

 

[Krish0608]

Will lose to the winner of Sinner/Alcaraz

Especially if it's Alcaraz. I mean the level Alcaraz produced against FAA was laughably absurd. I can see that level trump Med's current level.

 

[chuckersthenut]

Will lose to the winner of Sinner/Alcaraz

We'll see. Those two kids sliding all over HC.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Will lose to the winner of Sinner/Alcaraz

I’m not sure. I think alcaraz/meddy would be 50/50. Meddy would beat Sinner though.

I hope we get alcaraz v meddy as I see a blockbuster and going all the way. Plus no1 would be on line for Carlos and win streak for meddy.

 

[chuckersthenut]

Med making Foe pay foe even the dreams he had last night. Guy is everywhere

 

[James P]

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOO!

I don’t think so. Sinner lost to Medvedev due to being tired from the previous tournament and the fact that his semifinal match ended 6 hours later ( thus less rest time) If he had kept up the level in the first set at Rotterdam, he surely was going to win. Now that he’s fully rested I strongly believe he has a solid chance at Medvedev. His forehands have gotten bigger

 

[Hitman]

Wow....too good

 

[TheAssassin]

Just your every day inflation era crap passing shot from Mad Lad to break.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Meddy is Goating! It’s going to be tough for anyone to beat him currently.

 

[James P]

Medvedev has won 20 of the last 23 points. 5 games on the bounce.

 

[MeatTornado]

Nothing Frances can do. He needs his A-game to hang with this kind of Medvedev, and it's just not there today.

He couldn't get his drop shots to land early in the match, but he needs to start trying again. He needs to try something to switch up Med's rhythm from the baseline and keep him honest about staying so far back.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Just your every day inflation era crap passing shot from Mad Lad to break.

Sensational stuff from meddy. Apparently Mr Roddick was better though?

 

[chuckersthenut]

Medvedev flexing hard Tiafoe lost.

 

[davced1]

Medvedev is better than ever and I love it.

 

[chuckersthenut]

I would never want to play Danill. Especially in front of a packed stadium.

I think it would be close but going with meddy. He’s more consistent and just more proven and experienced on hard courts and latter stages of events.

I think Alcaraz will beat him anyway though.

 

[FrankyRelax]

Octopus God Mode currently

 

[Hitman]

One way traffic now

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Medvedev is better than ever and I love it.

I hope he can do this on clay too. Don’t see why not? His confidence sky high. I think he can translate it to other surfaces.

 

[chuckersthenut]

Surprising hold.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

One way traffic now

Yeah brutal tennis from meddy!

 

[James P]

Tiafoe returning worse than Tsitsipas apparently. Medvedev has dropped only 3 points in 8 service games, 6 love holds.

 

[chuckersthenut]

Oh gross. That psychopath Bill Gates is in the stands. He's probably gloating that Djokovic can't play.

 

[Hitman]

Savage....

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Everyone hyping Tiafoe like he was really going to do something. LOL. Hes a QF guy at best. Him and his female 2nd serve
