Del potro vs Kukushkin!

[jackknifeslice]

Del Porto is only 26! Will his injuries hold back further? Or will kukushkin conquer the tower of tandil with the form he displayed against djokovic in shanghai?

 

[jackknifeslice]

The kushman will win

 

[jackknifeslice]

I think djokovic played him in shanghai btw I dunno, not looking it up

 

[jackknifeslice]

Like that blames compensating, he sucks at it.

Why is he slicing so much

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Kukushkin has a good shot IMO, he's not a troll like Fognini

Where's the stream?

it's in spanish but it's a very good one http://live.drakulastream.eu/static/popups/2658351749380210.html

you can watch tennis and learn some spanish words at the same time

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

la derecha = the forehand

 

[jackknifeslice]

Delpos backhand is really week when he puts both hands on it

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Juego - Quatro Tres = Game, 4-3

Let me focus on just the tennis first... Haha, thanks!

 

[jackknifeslice]

Sucks I love that Moto

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

I miss the sound coming off of Del Potro's shots. Like hurtin' bombs!

Servicio Del Potro, Bolas nuevas = Del Potro on serve, new balls

haha no worries!

Trenta Quinze = 30-15

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Del Potro saving a break point, his serve is working very well

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

4 -4

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

Two questions:

1) Why the hell is Kukushkin returning serves from Antarctica?

2) What the hell is Kukushkin wearing? That's a flagrant foul right there.

You are right, thanks for the correction

Either way Solidteau is way too solid for this Delpo.

se le va la volea = the volley is going out

mini break del Potro 3-2

Yep I like Solidteau chances in these circumstances

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

hmmm lucky defensive shot from Kukushkin who got this minibreak back

Kukushkin wins the first set (and probably the match)

I think Jmdp is serving bigger than before.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

I think Jmdp is serving bigger than before.

yep that's what keeps him in the match so far, looks like Kukushkin could win most of the rallies but he chokes at times

 

[Vensai]

Close match so far. Kukushkin is up a set though.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

that's sad to watch, Del Potro really can't hit a backhand

 

[chjtennis]

That's what I noticed from Stakhovsky match. Kukushikin is smart enough to go to Delpo's backhand in key moments. It's impossible to hang with top guys without proper backhand. It's like fighting with just one hand. Delpo is not yet fully ready for a big impact.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

haha great rally

 

[Bad_Knee]

He could probably make a top 20 career with a FH and serve like his...It's a shame to see the BH though.

Exactly.
To me it looks like Kukushkin knows the match is on his racket so he must feel that extra pressure, knowing he's the one who got something to lose here.

I am happy Del Potro won 2 matches but I can't believe a guy like Stakhovsky did't S & V all day on Del Potro's backhand

That's what i thought, good run anyway.

Poor Del Potro, and next week he's playing possible 5sets matches

The Del Potro reach-around is becoming nauseting - time for a come down me thinks. Also gives him a few more days to rest for AO
