Dimitrov Vs. Wawrinka (Madrid 2013)

[Dark Magician]

Score plz!!

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Credit has to go to Wawrinka here as he is much more willing to take on this match while Dimitrov falls deeper and deeper behind the baseline. Dimitrov is losing his courage. Fortune favours the brave and all that (and there's the break of serve).

Score plz!!

Stan just broke for 3-1 final set.

 

[beltsman]

Of course DiGOATrov just has to run into this version of Wawa that never, ever appears for anyone else...

 

[NatF]

If he made that shot...

Stan is hitting the ball so hard right now.

 

[m2nk2]

Dimitrov had no chance in that game.

 

[Russeljones]

Score plz!!

Stan just broke for 3-1 in the 3rd.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Thing is he's not staying in the rallies with Stan now because he's choosing to be passive and defend too much. I don't know why he wants to use this strat. but he is.

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

He's going all AO-2013 on him.

Hahahahahahaha

 

[rufus_smith]

stan serves at 3-1

 

[beltsman]

Whatever pills Wawa popped in the second set, I need to find them.

Try find some highlights from their match at the AO, Wawrinka was in similar form.

 

[m2nk2]

Match is starting to slip away from Dimitrov.

 

[veroniquem]

And Wawa decides that "flavor of the month" has had enough time in the spotlight. Meanwhile Murray struggles mightily to hold his service games vs Simon.

 

[underground]

GOATrinka just appeared, nothing much Dimi could do.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Chaps, Wawrinka is being allowed to play so well because he is constantly being given the opportunity to seize control of the ongoing rallies. Dimitrov could change this if he suddenly decides to play more positively but since 2/3rds through set 2 he's lost himself a little bit.

 

[Dark Magician]

Stan just broke for 3-1 in the 3rd.

Stan just broke for 3-1 final set.

Thanks a lot!!

Seriously, who cares about Mugray and Pushmon.

 

[Towser83]

No dimi do not give up yet...

 

[m2nk2]

Dimitrov looks like he doesn't know what to do anyway. He's got no answers :/

 

[rufus_smith]

Dimi serves at 1-4

 

[Russeljones]

Maybe Dimitrov just didn't recover all that well after the DJokovic match and banked everything on breaking in the 2nd.

 

[NatF]

The way Stan is playing right now Dimi has to do somethign different. When someone is hitting the ball that hard there's little you can do, he's got to mix it up a bit.

 

[BevelDevil]

Tennis Channel decided to switch to Murray-Simon. They sure know what a good tennis match is

 

[tennis_pro]

I don't see Dimitrov coming back from this. Ah well, he can be more than proud of himself. Beat Djokovic, gave GOATing Wawrinka a really tough match.

Meanwhile, Murray is down a double break in the first set against Simon, LAWL.

 

[rufus_smith]

its funny that the Murray -Simon match looks like its in slow motion compared to Stan-Grig match!

 

[beltsman]

Maybe Dimitrov just didn't recover all that well after the DJokovic match and banked everything on breaking in the 2nd.

Maybe Wawawawarinka crying to the umpire, taking a fake MTO, and popping pills has something to do with it?

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Dimitrov looks like he doesn't know what to do anyway. He's got no answers :/

He needs to step up a little closer to the baseline and start properly taking some balls on rather than let himself be dictated to unnecessarily.

 

[m2nk2]

Nah, Wawr belongs in the top 10, he has proved it time and time again this year.

 

[veroniquem]

Seriously, who cares about Mugray and Pushmon.

Nice nicknames

 

[Relinquis]

stanilas is punishing short balls now... he's closing in on the net also forcing dimitrov to come up with tougher shots...

interesting change of tactic..

 

[NatF]

2 virtual match points.

 

[m2nk2]

Dimitrov looks a bit tired and moves awkward between the points.

 

[veroniquem]

Simon wraps the 1st set while the Fed wannabe looks ready to eat a breadstick.
This tournament is so full of surprises!

 

[Russeljones]

Grigor knows he's done here. Well played both of them.

 

[m2nk2]

Wawr serving for the match.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

MELTDOWWWWWWWWWN.

gg wp.

 

[Relinquis]

i think Grigor needs to go all out this game... hit hard cross court and take it to wawrinka... might as well go down swinging!

 

[m2nk2]

Yep, good game Dimitrov. See you in Rome.

 

[rufus_smith]

The WaW man is crushing every *** ball.

 

[W.P. Mayhew]

And Wawa decides that "flavor of the month" has had enough time in the spotlight.

Unrelenting levels of condescension... At least there's a spotlight on him and he's not begging for attention.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

Stan the Man prevails ....atleast one good news today...

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

Guess my feelings were right. Suppose I get to go to bed soon.

Dear tennis gods, please let us see more of Dimitrov.
And by more, I mea....

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

So. Somebody explain that one then.

That was a *bizarre* mental capitulation from Dimitrov. He just very very suddenly fell flat and never regained the needed intensity, and meanwhile Wawrinka sensed it, pounced and took advantage of the space that was given to him to control the match.

 

[underground]

Well done to both players. In the end Stan AO2013 just showed up at the wrong time for Dimi. Let's just hope Stan can be more consistent.

 

[Terenigma]

Good match from Warwrinka and Dimitrov, highly entertaining tennis from both. Look forward to seing more from Dimitrov soon tho

 

[Tenez101]

Meh, Dimitrov had his chances in the second, just couldn't take them. Completely ran out of stamina at the end, good job to Wawa though.

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

WTF Dimitrov...

Finding the stream for that 3rd set took longer than your actual 3rd set...

 

[NatF]

Great match. Stan showing some fight to weather the storm in the second.
