Must See Tennis All in One Evening

[Meles]

All in top gear in Milan after day one except possibly Tsits.
7:30 PmRR(1)Stefanos TsitsipasVS(3)Frances Tiafoe
Followed ByRR(2)Alex de MinaurVS(5)Andrey Rublev

Demon and Rublev were exceptionally sharp today. Tiafoe also rather amazing. Winner of event can bag $400,000.

Highest level of tennis right here. Even looking at ballboys, you wonder how they would have done in 2003-2007 slams.

Raw talent on display in less than 90 minutes goes a long way in the GOAT conversation.

Well if you add in last years players with this years:
Khach (current Elo 5) >> djokovic >>> Thiem/Isner
Zverev (current Elo 9) far superior to Federer in every aspect of the game, even dropshot and lob
Coric (current Elo 10) easy breezy wins over Federe
Medvedev (current Elo 11) dusted Nishikori in ATP final and >>> Wawrinka
Tsitsipas (current Elo 14) > Djokovic, Anderson, Thiem
Tiafoe >>> Delpo
Shapovalov >> Nadal
de Minaur = Cilic
Rublev >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Berdych

Why would anyone waste their time on the Xmas Exho tour finals?

How come they are not in top 10 of the ATP race ?

Excpept for Zverev , all players at YEC are 25+ and 5 of the 8 players are 30+

The NextGen cannot beat geriatrics yet in the race

That is for has-beens like WTF. current Elo better. Milan better format and players than the slow placed Xmas Exho in London.

Don't forget about two 30+ year olds withdrawing from the event too.

Honestly Meles, seconds ago when I saw the thread title I thought: „Nice, there is a TV channel who shows great classic highlights for a full evening?“

And then I opened the thread and thought: “Oh well, it’s next gen finals this week. Damn!”

But anyway, I know you like it, so have fun!

The Tsitsipas v Tiafoe match was a little botty on the faster courts this year, but first two sets were tiebreakers and both played quite well, just not a great matchup for Tiafoe.

Rublev vs Demon was mind blowing. Both played exceptionally well and I've never seen the Demon defend better. A real battle as Rublev had to blow him off the court because he can't cover like the Demon. There has never been such a display of power against speed in the history of the game. Enjoy watching washed up and injured players in WTF. Demon >> Cilic now to amend my earlier post.
