Monte Carlo 2024 ATP Master's 1000 Quarterfinal matchup - [2] Jannik Sinner (ITA) v/s [7] Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune (DEN)

[Olli Jokinen]

Holger screwed over by incomptent ump. Should have been 4-2.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Amazing pass from sinner!

 

[Move]

Trusty out wide serve ... MP

 

[NoleFam]

That call could decide this match. Totally unacceptable.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Monster serve from Sinner! MPs

 

[Hitman]

Holy crap!!!

What a save by Rune!

 

[junior74]

Hah, what a way to fight off MP!

 

[Move]

Wow, what a point !!

 

[Spin Diesel]

Great shot to save match point!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Great shot from Rune to save first MP

 

[junior74]

Finally a line call going Rune's way

 

[Hitman]

Tell me that Rune doesn't have the talent.

 

[chuckersthenut]

How does rune fit his balls into those shorts. Helluva shot down mp

 

[Move]

Stop quacking Rune

 

[Bubcay]

The umpire is a real dick...

 

[NYTennisfan]

Because the point is erased and hence has to begin from the get go.

Still dumb though, it gives one player a distinct advantage over the other because the lines person screwed up

 

[NoleFam]

The umpire is a real dick...

He always has been.

 

[Bubcay]

Go Runeeee..

 

[onyxrose81]

The umpire is a real dick...

Before I even looked it up, I knew it had to be Dumusois.

 

[Krish0608]

Rune Rune Rune!

 

[junior74]

Rune's mentality is truly incredible... That was huge!

 

[Move]

Deserved 3rd set
Sinner regrets the many BPs

 

[FernandoBiH]

GO HOLGER

 

[Hitman]

He is the third member, you can see it.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Rune takes the 2nd set. Great effort. Fair play to the Dane!

 

[NYTennisfan]

Sinner just got stung by a bee. An interesting turn of events although I fully expect a 6-3 or 6-4 3rd for the Italian.

 

[NeutralFan]

Sinner had no business losing this set .

 

[Krish0608]

A well rested Rune would have beaten Sinner today. 3rd set is going to be one sided as Rune's legs will surely give away.

 

[malbaker86]

This match like a QF at the FO. Need to see these two at the FO

 

[Winners or Errors]

Very nice to see Rune playing to his potential today.

 

[NoleFam]

Wow, this kid has cajones. To hit a shot like that match point down after getting screwed on a call earlier in the tiebreak, to play 3 more exceptional points to take it. Yes, we have a match. Hope he has enough left to give us a good 3rd.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Well deserved set for Rune

 

[chuckersthenut]

We're going the distance. Rune really tough this week.

 

[Krish0608]

Sinner had no business losing this set .

Rune is just more clutch.

 

[GodlessEndeavor]

I'll never understand why the server gets his 1st serve back after a replayed point on 2nd serve

A point starts with a first serve. If you replay the point, you start at the beginning.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Let’s boogie, y’all!

 

[onyxrose81]

Rune!!! What a deserved set.

Glad it’s going the distance.

 

[NAS]

Rune, rune, rune, rune, Rune.. Heart of lion, you deserve every applaud

 

[Rovesciarete]

Some great tennis by Rune in the big moments. He can be a ….. but he has guts. Sinner won 53% of the points in the second set.

Jannik needs to move back on Rune’s first serve to get more balls in. He has the return and power to make things very difficult even from far back.

 

[NeutralFan]

Rune is just more clutch.

Sinner wasted 7bps, 2 mps. Sinner just choked by making unforced errors at wrong time.

 

[Move]

Danish Bumblebee still buzzzzzzing

 

[chuckersthenut]

Where is the carrot crew? Are they waiting to see if Sinner takes control before they chime in about how sinner will win 20 GS

 

[Winners or Errors]

Tell me that Rune doesn't have the talent.

I don’t think people question his talent, just his ability to show up day in and day out. He hasn’t really demonstrated that to this point in his career.

 

[NYTennisfan]

A point starts with a first serve. If you replay the point, you start at the beginning.

I understand but it gives an unfair advantage to the server and in this case penalized Rune for a botched call going against him. The point should continue from where it left off with the 2nd serve.

 

[Krish0608]

Sinner wasted 7bps, 2 mps. Sinner just choked by making unforced errors at wrong time.

Thats the definition of being clutch. Many of the BP saves were ballsy play by Rune. Did you see his MP save on Sinner's serve? Again, super clutch whether you like it or not.

 

[ibbi]

I cannot believe from that 0-30 and calling the supervisor he won the set

 

[NYTennisfan]

Sinner wasted 7bps, 2 mps. Sinner just choked by making unforced errors at wrong time.

Excuses, isn't that what you said was made for Rune going into the match?

 

[a10best]

Holger is right. He is officially part of the new big 3.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Holger is right. He is officially part of the new big 3.

He is potentially part of new big 3. He has potential. But he is currently a lot behind. Let's see.

 

[Olli Jokinen]

Bruh he ain’t no Sinner or Alcaraz, this guy has not won anything over 250 in the past year , let’s tone down the hype

Zverev had a Madrid masters at Rune’s age, how many Rg titles does he have?

Rune has a Paris Masters. How many RG titles does Zverev have? Or Sinner?
