[acintya]

[I Am Finnish]

 

[EloQuent]

boom. up a break in the 3rd.

 

[Deon Sanders]

Frances is beating the shoot outta this mug

 

[acintya]

this match will go in hall of fame

 

[wangs78]

Dimitrov sucks. I feel bad for Tiafoe, bc this match will make him suffer some short lived delusions of grandeur.

 

[acintya]

now i was admiring Kachanov a lot but boy, Tiafoe is a lot more versatile. Look at the forehands. Very similar. Kachanow has at least a western grip - what about Tiafoe?

 

[TennisFan3]

dont call the Devil now

we like it as it is right now

I'm just saying Dimi is fundamentally a better player.

But he gets broken. Dimi is just a mental midget

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Grigot gets the break back

 

[EloQuent]

broken back. Still have faith that he can win this in straight sets

 

[Deon Sanders]

I'm just saying Dimi is fundamentally a better player.

But he gets broken. Dimi is just a mental midget

Only three things matter in tennis

Mental game, physical game, and ability to avoid drug testing

 

[Sysyphus]

Greegor in fumf

 

[I Am Finnish]

You cant miss that frances

 

[TennisFan3]

Epic comeback for Dimi it seems.

 

[EloQuent]

Looking a little bit different now.

 

[Deon Sanders]

Oh boy...

 

[Tennease]

How on earth Dmitrov lost this set? can anyone tell me?can't watch the match.

Tiafoe compact take back on the ground strokes allow him to take the ball very early and guide the ball easier. That helps him a lot on hard court. He's very confident on the groundstrokes. His groundstrokes and serves are simpler than Dimitrov's and this gives Tiafoe so much confident on his ability... he doesn't doubt his own shot making ability that much. His serves are simple and powerful.

 

[Deon Sanders]

WOW

Sketchy hold is still a hold

 

[acintya]

O MAN THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN DELPOS FOREHAND

 

[EloQuent]

Important hold. 5-4* in the 3rd.

 

[acintya]

man. we can be happy that we are watching this live. this match has it all - i confes Dimi is not at the highest level but oh boy - Tiafoe is kicking some ass - so much variety in his game today - that is what i call tennis.

 

[acintya]

dimi plays like a dog who just lied with 5 milf-s at the same time

 

[Deon Sanders]

Tiafoe needs to survive this hold

 

[TennisFan3]

Tifaeo is injured. Match is over.

Dimi will get this in 5. Tiafoe won't last physically, with all long matches in the past.

HE called the doctor and looks sick. Sad for the American.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Tiafoe looks wasted.

 

[Tennease]

wat tiafoe injured?

 

[TennisFan3]

Sad to see a match get over like this. Bad luck on his birthday.

Good luck for Dimi since he was otherwise outplayed today

 

[Deon Sanders]

This is intense

 

[I Am Finnish]

Tiafoe make some epic missers

 

[I Am Finnish]

3/15
Dimitrov is indeed baby fedr

 

[Deon Sanders]

He SURVIVES

 

[BeatlesFan]

Trainer out with Tiafoe, but isn't touching him. Frances swallowed some liquid medicine (or it appeared to be medicine).

 

[EloQuent]

Another gusty hold. I fear that if Tiafoe can't win in 3 he won't have the stamina for a 5 setter.

 

[TennisFan3]

If he loses this set, I think the American will retire.

 

[Deon Sanders]

Welp

 

[BeatlesFan]

Looks like Dimi will take this in five. Frances looks done.

 

[TennisFan3]

Tiafoe looks done. This is crazy. Who would have thought.

 

[Deon Sanders]

Time to consider the obvious

He was poisoned by Ned

 

[I Am Finnish]

 

[EloQuent]

Reminds me a lot of that Nishikori - Majchrzak match. Majchrzak was up 2 sets 0, then started cramping and retired in the 5th.

 

[I Am Finnish]

LOL NO he is done

Ok he might win in 5

 

[TennisFan3]

Tiafoe should retire. Pathetic tennis right now.

We are looking at a Nadal vs Dimi 6 hour epic in the QF

 

[Deon Sanders]

Too many Black and Milds

 

[Deon Sanders]

UGH BREAK CHANCE

 

[bluetrain4]

What is Tiafoe doing better this year? Seems to have made legit progress.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Dimitrov is playing much better

 

[I Am Finnish]

LOL how many netcord winners

 

[BGod]

Showed 3rd set tiebreak. Now only Nadal's Baked Birds showing.
