Can The King Finally Overcome The Legendary One Himself And Take A Giant Leap Towards Immortality?

[Hitman]

Fritz has been playing some of his best tennis, the level and consistency has been very good. But can the King finally overcome his ultimate challenge under the lights of Ashe?

Its the most likely QF upset, but Nole still clearly the favourite.

 

[Neptune]

Father time is undefeated, only question is when.

 

[Carax]

 

[paolo2143]

Even if he does, he will most likely be beaten down in S/F by Carlos, I expect.

 

[Mainad]

He can and will. Only Sincaraz stand in the way of a record-breaking 25th Slam.

 

[Cramerica]

Fritz has already lost this match. It's in his head. Too much scar tissue, as has been said. Even if serving well, his serves will be mostly mitigated and the rest of his game is inferior, particularly his strategies and capabilities compared to that of even a 38 year old Djokovic.

The only outlier of course is if Djokovic suffers physically at all.

I'd be floored if Taylor gets more than 1 set

I was underwhelmed by Taylor's shots. I kept repeating, 'And this guy was ranked next to Jannik & Carlos?'

0-10 vs Djoker but surely this is his best chance?

And why is Taylor being referred to as the King?

There is only one King. Let's get that straight.

 

[DSH]

The best current player born in the 90s versus a 38-year-old player in decline.
Who will win?

where do these images come from? lol

On topic, I hope Novak goes through. Carlos-Novak would be a much better match up rn, especially after what happened at AO and Novak seems to be in decent form here.

 

[ghostofMecir]

Its the most likely QF upset, but Nole still clearly the favourite.

Djoko hovering around a -175 and -185 favorite...sounds about right.

Taylor Fritz is King ???

Regardless of who wins, they shall be wiped out in straight sets by SInner.

Alcaraz would beat one of them before.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Even if he was in a position to, he'll get sucked into the aura and antics like the rest of them do

 

[weakera]

That's four-time Eastbourne Champion Taylor Fritz to you bud

Yeah, they might not even cross Alcaraz, you are right. Getting to final is only possible if ALcaraz can be beaten.

Weird that Fritz is ranked higher than Djoko, being inferior and all

I’m not saying Fritz will win but you have to be blind not to see that the equation has shifted a bit

 

[McGradey]

Aside from that time when Djok had a muscle tear in his guts at the AO, you’d have to think this is Fritz’s best opportunity to date. I think it’s highly unlikely though.

 

[MeatTornado]

Using that image of Nadal in this context feels like an own goal.

 

[Better_Call_Raul]

Djoko hovering around a -175 and -185 favorite...sounds about right.

Who would be the bigger underdog if they played today:
Fritz vs Alcaraz or Djoker vs Alcaraz?

Suspect that the younger Fritz would be given the much better chances of beating Alcaraz.

It got to be Taylor! I'm not impressed by his shots so far, right back to the opponents!

 

[a10best]

Not a weak era slam finalists like 3-4 years ago so he's not winning or getting far. if they were weak era players, Zev, Tsits, Ruud, Berr, Jyrios, the OP's king would win.

Any stock tips, Sir???

 

[SpinToWin]

this might be one of the funniest threads to read back in recent times

 

[ojo rojo]

Wtf! Stringertom has returned?!

 

[Theferael_me]

Is that really what people are calling him? The King? lol
