He certainly has and was impressive in us open too. He’s got an exciting game and plays great attacking tennis. On his day he’s a threat to the top players.I never saw the USO match where Stricker beat Tsitsipas so this is the first I've seen him play. He's improved a lot since he was Fed's Dubai training partner. Seems like a nice kid as well. But he's got to lose the baby fat.
Boris banned the hat, the bracelet and the necklace (no joke).No backward cap again for Holger
I’ve been away so just got home in time to watch this match. It seems young Holger is back! Finally
He's just on fire. Hitting massive FH's, confident and hitting his serves big. A joy to watch after the last few miserable months for him. This Holger with Boris behind him can challenge for big titles in 2024.I’ve been away so just got home in time to watch this match. It seems young Holger is back! Finally
Well if it’s true, then it’s a good decision. Wearing extra stuff that sticks to you isn’t helpful.
I hope so, although I wouldn’t root for him against my 2 faves lol. I’m keen to see him qualify for the WTFs especially as he almost managed it last year.
so glad to hear this, I saw some of the 1-6 set on Tuesday and was appalled. So the back issue wasn’t an issue after all?
32!How many strokes in that rally?
No, I personally think it was the GF and never a back issue. Whatever was ailing him is history now. He used to just give up and tank when it was 40-0 on his opponents serve, now he's fighting for almost ever point. Boris doesn't mess around.
Don't think its a big deal. Can happen by accident.
Team Rune when Nole retires?
Team Rune when Nole retires?
It would be a repeat of the 2022 Basel final when Felix beat Holger in straights.
Becker effect. He did same with Nole in early 2014. But Nole was already on 24 match win streak and Rune was on losing streak till now so this is even better.Etcheverry ended up winning one more point than Rune. Good stat is Holger was 20/30 at the net.
I like both players for different reasons. So it'd be tough to decide whom to root for. Maybe it's Rune's turn to win!
Maybe when he is Old er erI never saw the USO match where Stricker beat Tsitsipas so this is the first I've seen him play. He's improved a lot since he was Fed's Dubai training partner. Seems like a nice kid as well. But he's got to lose the baby fat.
Boris said he got sick of the traveling as a coach and living out of a suitcase.
Just counting down the minutes until Holger takes the court.
I like him and his (a little) different playstyle
Same here. His style is interesting to watch and he’s a nice guy too. Happy for him.
I wish he’d replace Tsipas for the Finals.
