Ouch

 

[Murciarules]

Its over.. marozsan just couldnt focus when it mattered

 

[Murciarules]

I still dont like what i see from Sinner, great win but something still off

 

[Jonas78]

It going to continue to hurt his success unless he fixes that. Alcaraz took full advantage of it.

Totally agree. Have you watched his Beijing matches? I feel he might is experimenting with the serve a bit, which is good. In the match vs Atmane his 1st serve speed was varying from 170kmh to 210kmh. I could only watch the 1st set today. I saw his 1st serve in% was considerably better in todays lasts set, but his win% on 1st serve was only 68%. You know if he was serving with less pace and more accuracy the last set?

lol, don't be silly! It would be a miracle for those mosquitoes to fly 1,000 miles north, they can only survive in hot and humid subtropical climate.

Yes, I've been watching, just not actively commentating here on it.

What are youre thoughts on the serve? You think he is trying to figure things out?

 

[JJGUY]

HAHAHAH EPIC win by Guinard and Andreozzi, what a turnaround in the super tie break. Pavic and Arevalo definitely choked the big lead.

wow, didn't expect this, I caught the live score in the morning, Pavic/Arevalo were leading 8:2 in the tiebreak but somehow they managed to lose 9:11!

 

[Hitman]

What are youre thoughts on the serve? You think he is trying to figure things out?

Yes, he is. I think he is experimenting, with nothing quite in concrete. I can imagine the gameplan is to go out there and try a few things to see what compliments his game on certain plays. He's hasn't got it all together, but you can see where the focus is.

 

[JJGUY]

this has become a dramatic and entertaining tiebreak!

 

[Spielgame]

Musetti with 2 bp againt Tien

 

[Spielgame]

awesome cc bh passing shot by Musetti to break Tien.

 

[Spielgame]

wow, didn't expect this, I caught the live score in the morning, Pavic/Arevalo were leading 8:2 in the tiebreak but somehow they managed to lose 9:11!

Pavic and Arevalo looked nervous with their big lead and made some very nervy shots, some went long.

 

[Spielgame]

Tien will Learn from this match and will improve.

 

[Spielgame]

It's great to see Michael Chang back on the tour.

 

[Spielgame]

Oh no, Musetti is having MTO

Single hander players often have problem with lower back

 

[Localfoc]

Problem for Musetti's game overall is that Tennis is a power game.

Struggling to outhit Lifelong Tien here. Points to a strong career ceiling.

 

[Spielgame]

Musetti retired down 0-3 in the 3rd set.

what a shame

LOL the Chinese crowds booing Musetti. Understandable.

 

[Localfoc]

Sadistic mob booing Musetti's retirement. Poor form.

Understandable. Musetti calling them f***ing Chinese coughing all the time.

Chinese fans bought the ticket.

Musetti retired.

Boo.

Musetti retired.

Boo.

It has nothing to do with buying tickets.
We all know why it is.
And its pretty ugly stuff, however anyone tries to justify it.

Tickets aren't cheap. If you don't get what you buy, you boo or curse or ask for a refund.

 

[Mainad]

Musetti's fitness yet again coming into question.

 

[rUDin 21]

Med vs Zed mug rivalry on display now.

 

[ForehandCross]

Djoko Smash by Zed

 

[ForehandCross]

Medvedev serve goes missing pretty randomly

 

[ForehandCross]

Good point by Zed.

Medvedev has simultaneously servebotted and yipped both together in this game.

 

[ForehandCross]

Med holds 4-1

 

[ForehandCross]

Zed net rushing is so laughable at times and at times so effective. He is a walking paradox.

 

[ForehandCross]

Also Medvedev is back to returning from Moscow and is more defensive than recent matches.

Not sure if he is doing it because it works well against Zverev or if he said FU to that strategy.

 

[rUDin 21]

Shockingly,these two managed to meet in 8/9 masters + ATPF(missing Madrid meeting),before they played single Grand Slam match.

They were also 1&2 ranked.

 

[ForehandCross]

Crazy Point with Medvedev coming on top. Thanks Zed for making him look like 2021 Medvedev again.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Let’s go, Mad Lad!

 

[ForehandCross]

Serve bailing Med out.

What year is this?

Oh as I type there's a DF. Followed by another fault and the an error. Duece That's more like it.

 

[ForehandCross]

ACE! And then he clutched the game out.

Zed being a toddler lost on airport at the net helps a lot.

 

[ForehandCross]

Maybe try not to return from the crowd?

 

[ForehandCross]

Zverev in important points is the dream of a sports psychologist.

 

[tennis_pro]

Seems like there's not a low that Medvedev can reach in which he still can't beat Zverev LOL.

 

[ForehandCross]

3 straight wins, can't ask for anything better than that.

 

[ChrisJR3264]

zverev must have nightmares playing medvedev.

On a bright note: medvedev coming back to winning ways is good for tennis.

 

[roysid]

Good for Meddy getting zverev win
. Next is learner tien

 

[tennis_pro]

Medvedev has beaten Zverev 13 of the last 15 times they played, damn I never realized it was so bad.

Zverev actually led Med 5-1 at the end of 2019. 13-2 for Med since LOL.

Med has beaten Zverev both times this year too when Zverev has been in good form (top 3/4 in the world) while Medvedev has fallen off a cliff. Definitely a match-up, no way around it LOL.

 

[Al Czervik]

It made no sense to me that Med was the favorite, given how they have played this year. But, the betting markets had it right.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Med could be 50 and retired and he'd still beat current Zverev

 

[Rattie]

Zverev looked as though he couldn’t be bothered to try in the end.

 

[Jonas78]

Yes, he is. I think he is experimenting, with nothing quite in concrete. I can imagine the gameplan is to go out there and try a few things to see what compliments his game on certain plays. He's hasn't got it all together, but you can see where the focus is.

Just watched the 2nd set, interestingly i think Sinner played better 2nd set, despite the scoreline. Marozsan played a lot better 2nd set.

 

[sortof]

Thx Daniil. There should be a special award or clean-up bonus for a player who takes out both, Norrie and Zverev, in the same tournament.
