Laver Cup 2021 Official Thread

[The Fedfather]

So few posts.

VIP thread

 

[fundrazer]

Lol. Kinda funny that he produces a backhand like that to win the match though.

GSM Berrettini.

 

[Pass750]

FAA is so unclutch

 

[The Fedfather]

The supertiebreak just doesn't give the necessary emotional release. The end is so sudden

 

[prairiegirl]

Terrible match from FAA - Should have had Berretini in two. He had 12 break points and only made one!

 

[ark_28]

Thought Felix was going to do it but he f*cked it all up.

 

[merwy]

I don't see Schwartzman beating Rublev, so looks like a 3-0 lead for Europe after the first day. Huge shame, as FAA could've taken a point. Tomorrow team world can grab some points in the doubles hopefully.

 

[EllieK]

Yes Roger's appearance changed everything for the fans. I'd scream too probably.
I miss Roger and Rafa as captains!

I did scream.

 

[EllieK]

2 matches and hardly any posts in this thread. Not even half a page.
Laver cup is DEAD.

Not in the TD Gardens

 

[TennisLurker]

is there a delay? why?

 

[EllieK]

Break between sessions is all.

 

[Pass750]

is there a delay? why?

Need to get day session people out and night session people in

 

[Steffi-forever]

Laver looks very tired

 

[Swingmaster]

Why is Lloyd Harris there? I thought Sock was the alternate?

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Maybe they have two alternates?

 

[James P]

Rublev getting booed...that's different

 

[fundrazer]

Team World gonna choke two matches away in a row?

 

[Pavla]

Wee Diego got balls bigger than Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend. Love him

 

[fundrazer]

Love Rublev's reaction to his double fault on match point though. 9-9 now.

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Damn, so close

 

[Steffi-forever]

Awesome match point!

 

[James P]

Man, it's gonna be 4-0 after day 1, probably.

 

[Steffi-forever]

The teams are so uneven. Europe has 4 of the top 5!

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

The teams are so uneven. Europe has 4 of the top 5!

And the slow surface doesn’t help Team World at all…

 

[CosmosMpower]

is there a delay? why?

It was a huge cluster getting people in for the night session. I left to get some food downstairs and the wait to get back in was over an hour. Hundreds if not thousand of people waiting to get in and when they started at 8 pm for the night session it was only 15% full

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Dennis Shapo-olive lol… maybe next time announcer, maybe next time.

 

[Nostradamus]

they are sucking already. hoping they would pull off the super tiebreaker though

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Team World needs this match…

 

[Nostradamus]

Team World needs this match…

these guys suck. might as well bring out the secret weapon, south african dude

 

[fundrazer]

Lol. They're going to break here thanks to Zverev messing up all of his volleys.

 

[fundrazer]

Shapo not making first serves this game but his 2nds are still pretty good, Isner being a liability at net though...

serve to Berrettini backhand should get them to deuce though.

 

[fundrazer]

Nevermind... Europe up a break again. Guessing their best chance to get it back will be on Berrettini's serve but we will see.

 

[Open Stance]

New racket paint jobs for Zverev and Berrettini?

Head is sponsoring the tournament this year and is doing Laver Cup editions. Think they'll be for sale but only for the MP model racquets. Can check the racquets section for more info.

Just saw it over there. Thanks!

 

[Nostradamus]

Shapo volleying like USTA 4.0 dude LOL

 

[fundrazer]

After just taking shots about players being flat footed Isner does the same on that volley. lol

 

[Open Stance]

You know how they used to say that the best doubles team in world is John McEnroe and anybody else? I think the same could be said for Shapo but the exact opposite.

 

[Nostradamus]

After just taking shots about players being flat footed Isner does the same on that volley. lol

Only thing he hit the ball with is his graphite. anyway, why doestn' Berrentitni return like this all the time ?? He would have beaten novak and won wimbledon if he did

 

[Nostradamus]

Why is Lloyd Harris just sitting there on the bench like bump on the log ?? and nobody is talking to the dude ......... he's getting lonely....LOL

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Damn Isner going beastmode

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Vamooos!

 

[fundrazer]

Team World bench is chanting servebot. lmao

Team World finally on the board.

 

[Bubcay]

Just re-watching Rublev vs Schwartzman... Pretty good match. FAA vs Berettini was good too. This court sucks though. It's like it stops the ball as it hits. What a flop.

 

[Bubcay]

 

[Sir Weed]

He was thinking about the "GRE Math Subject Test" over in Odds 'n Ends.

This Cup started yesterday, and we did not even complete two pages of posts yet?
Week Laver Cup era. I think it peaked too early: 2017 and 2018 were the peak years.

Luckily the first few years were the good ones. If not, the event might've fizzled out. It could still collapse if Kyrgios retires soon, though the desire to please Federer will be a stabilizer. And how many consecutive times will Europe have to win before Federer has to feed the team contaminated meat?

The Laver Cup's survival relies on Kyrgios.

Was Boston chosen because Nick's favorite team is the Celtics? If so, that's kind of pathetic.
