Cincinnati Masters 2022 SF: (1) Daniil Medvedev vs (4) Stefanos Tsitsipas

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Keep up the good work Meddy!

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

LOL although this comment is not about "juicing" but you seem to say almost all top winning non Italian players are juicing LOL

No, mostly just Spanish ones - with the muscle mass of a heavyweight boxer and the endurance of an Ethiopian marathon runner. Although this year's first Cincy finalist could certainly raise some eyebrows, if one were inclined to have such thoughts.

 

[AM75]

Let the chocking begin!

 

[James P]

Let the chocking begin!

Thanks for that insurance break!!

 

[Rafa4GOAT]

what is this set

 

[Fedeonic]

Daniil's serve literally doesn't exist.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Thanks for waking up finally Sissy shorts. You know you won the first set right?

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Why all the vitriol in this thread. They are both playing at a high level. Just enjoy it.

 

[Fedeonic]

Why all the vitriol in this thread. They are both playing at a high level. Just enjoy it.

Danya is way too vulnerable from his serve, else this match would have ended now.

Welcome to TTW (unfortunately). This is the usual commentary fare.

 

[James P]

Stef is ramping the tension up to 11.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

This ball in Tsitsipas' pocket looks like an abscess.

Lol, it does!

Welcome to TTW (unfortunately). This is the usual commentary fare.

Worse than the golf boards I frequent.

 

[Bubcay]

Tsitsipas won 14 of the last 15 points...

 

[AM75]

I just can't believe it.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

What ya doin, Meddy?!

 

[RF-18]

Wtf is going on

 

[Slicehand]

Not even an insurance break is gonna save him

 

[James P]

Tsitsipas won 14 of the last 15 points...

Quite a run

 

[MeatTornado]

Does anyone want this set?

 

[ultimathule]

Meddy, Meddy, Meddy...

 

[zuluzazu]

LOL 2 horrid shanks from TPas

 

[James P]

Five straight points to stop the bleeding. Holy hell, my heart was in my throat

 

[zuluzazu]

For a moment I thought it would be a repeat of Nadal Med WTF 2019 match LOL

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Come on Medvedev! Win this match! I just can't stand it if Tsitsipas wins this tournament, just NO! Medvedev or Coric, fine either way!

 

[Fedeonic]

Daniil "no serve" Medvedev wins the 2nd set by 6-3.
Onto a third.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

LOL epic troll-job by Med Man. He let Sissy think he had it...

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

I was telling somebody today who was certain Medvedev would win that he most likely would but sometimes the wheels come off of his game an incredibly inopportune times. PLEASE, Meddy, win this third set and win this match!

 

[James P]

LOL epic troll-job by Med Man. He let Sissy think he had it...

He let me think that as well. I was about ready to cry into my beer.

 

[AM75]

3rd set is going to be... interesting.

 

[jindra]

Let's go Dani!

 

[PSNELKE]

These stats are hilarious.

Medvedev: 1st serve points won: 55% - 12/21, 2nd serve points won: 59% - 10-17

Tsitsipas: 1st serve ponts won: 91% - 10/11, 2nd serve points won: 18% - 2/11

 

[mr tonyz]

This second set encapsulates what's in store for us during the upcoming post Big-3 Era ...

We now get to see players on both sides of the net fall apart @ the exact same time lol.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Starting the third with a gasper!

 

[Fedeonic]

I think this first point shows me how even an old Federer would have played against Daniil.

 

[ultimathule]

Nice start.

 

[Open Stance]

Nice service game from Stef

 

[PSNELKE]

Medvedev's serve is totally non existent. It's been bad for months now

 

[James P]

Medvedev's serve is totally non existent. It's been bad for months now

Can he re-herniate himself?

By the way, I agree. Serve has been a sh*tshow for a while now.

 

[ultimathule]

Medvedev's serve is totally non existent. It's been bad for months now

He's gotta grunt more.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

The whole game is very far from his best levels. If Tsits can't beat this version of Med, the ownership will be complete.

 

[PSNELKE]

Like Med's game or not but you gotta love how quickly he gets ready to serve. No bulls*itting, point over, get new balls, max. two bounces, booom....unlike certain other players

 

[Fedeonic]

I mean, Tsitsitsi's return is so bad that is giving Danya a lot of chances to hold his serve games.
And Medvedev's serve is absolutely s. right now.

 

[ultimathule]

Good backhand volley by Med.

 

[Fedeonic]

Sexy passing from Med.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

WOW!!

 

[James P]

The whole game is very far from his best levels. If Tsits can't beat this version of Med, the ownership will be complete.

Tbh I've been think about it for the last couple months, but Medvedev without his serve tuned up is probably still a top 10 player, but more like 7-10 range, not 1-3 range. If he can't figure out his serve he's going to start fading from the upper echelon of tennis players. He's very beatable these days.

 

[PSNELKE]

From what I've seen today from these two guys...if they play like that in the final and Coric gets his 1st serve % up from today, either of them is gonna get hammered in straight sets

 

[ultimathule]

Papa Tsitsipas and Mark P. made up a good game plan.
