RG 2019 4R: Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Stan Wawrinka

[La Grande]

AHHHH SO GOOD

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

What a point lol

 

[NoleFam]

Why did he let that ball go!!?? OMG. You cannot take a chance like that on MP. Experience wins the day. The kid still has a lot to learn. Great match though from both guys.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Tsits going full diva

Implying he ever left.

 

[MeatTornado]

Tsitsipas had about 3 forehand mishits in the last couple points.

 

[malbaker86]

GOAT match point

 

[Terenigma]

Ok they showed a replay from ground level and i take it back, it was in. Definitely was on the line.

 

[FedHeadComposer]

I think that was out..

 

[I Am Finnish]

Where is Shapovalov when you need him? Lol.

Savage

 

[Backhanded Compliment]

Hopefully tsits or wawrinka will have something left in the tank for the quarterfinal.

stan will come out like a battering ram... legs not the best but watch him hit every ball justa little harder than humanly possible. He knows he never wants it to be a running match

 

[kishnabe]

Lol what a way to end it.

 

[AndyM]

will Stan will bend over for his buddy fed he'll be exhausted we all can book fed into the next round stand did not deserve this victory

 

[True Fanerer]

LOL!!!!

I love t that Tsits lost looking at a damn line LMAO

Go ahead Stan.

 

[robert.s]

Happy for Stan. After Murray retired, he needs to become a slam threat again.

 

[Harry_Wild]

They gave the fans their monies worth and more!

 

[junior74]

Insane stuff - what a shot for the victory!

Special match, great atmosphere and a lovely handshake in the end. Wow.

 

[RaulRamirez]

Holy #$@$!

 

[Deleted member 77403]

I doubt we will see a better match this year at RG.

Lived up to the hype.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Lol, another choke job by the next gen LOL

#RipDiamondAge

 

[Red Rick]

7 games over/under foe how many games Wawa will get from Rogi?

 

[icedevil0289]

I think that was out..

dont they usually show a review on tv though i didnt see it

 

[TennisFan3]

TsTsipas back to the drawing board. Lost, despite being the better player, against an erratic Stan who himself is not mentally strong.
TsiTsiPas has ways to go before being proclaimed as a future champion of this sport. His mental strength and decision making is disappointing to say the least,.
Congrats to Stan. Hopefully he can avoid being embarrassed by Fed in the SF.

 

[Azure]

Great great match. As much as I wanted my guy to win this match, experience won out in the end. Congrats Wawa. I am sure my guy will be back.

 

[MeatTornado]

Shocking for Tsitsipas to circle the mark and then not even dispute it when the ump called it in.

Hes too tired to even argue on match point.

 

[Badabing888]

It’s in. What a match!!!! Well done Stan.

What was Stefanos doing leaving it? Should have played it instead of hoping it goes out. What a misjudgement.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Lol, another choke job by the next gen LOL

Really? Stan can still play. He can beat anyone even at this stage of his career.

 

[Fed881981]

NO WAY was that in. I'm sorry but that looked clearly out to me. GSM Wawrinka but i have issues with that last point.

I was wrong, it was definitely in. GG

It was in. Just caught the back of the line.

 

[Third Serve]

Amazing match by the Stanimal!

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Luckiest man on the planet...

Wonderful match. Best of the tournament unless I missed something from before.

 

[StrongRule]

Well, the ideal outcome for Federer I guess. Tsitsipas would be able to give a fight. Against Wawrinka it will be another routine straight set victory. I know this matchup too well.

 

[onyxrose81]

Disappointing. When are the next gen going to win these type of matches? Especially to someone that’s older and has been seriously injured.

 

[Zebrev]

Congratulations to Roger Federer for making it through to the semifinals! Great effort.

 

[Red Rick]

Really? Stan can still play. He can beat anyone even at this stage of his career.

Lol.

 

[MeatTornado]

an erratic Stan who himself is not mentally strong.

dude...

 

[tennis_pro]

That match point, though....

 

[Meles]

Gotta say Tsits letting Stan out of jail so much in the first really hurt and Stan upped his game to barely take first set. This could have easily started 2-0 in sets for Tsits.

Stan's most amazing match with back to wall?

 

[AndyM]

Stan does feds dirty work

 

[Zardoz7/12]

This loss will hurt Stefanos, it's how he comes back from this is the key.

As for Stan, he's a true fighter! He's provisionally back in the top 20 after his knee injury/surgery.

 

[RF-18]

Why did he let that ball go!!?? OMG. You cannot take a chance like that on MP. Experience wins the day. The kid still has a lot to learn. Great match though from both guys.

Would have still been tough to make that. Stan made a good slice and tsitsis approach put him in a bad position.

 

[weakera]

5/27 break points lol

OUCH!

 

[NBP]

Carbon copy of the Fed-Seppi stupid leave on match point down

 

[crocon]

Hell of a match and hell of a match point

 

[Krish0608]

Congrats Stan! Let's see how much you have left in the tank against Maestro. Chin up Tsitsipas. He took Stanimal to 5 sets and almost beat him. Not a mean feat. He'll only get better at this.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Lol.

Maybe you’re hyping the kid a little too much. He has game but he has a long way to go. He’s only 20.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Goffin is 10 times the player any opponent Fed has faced at the French Open so far

This isn’t a Fed match thread, yet he still occupies your brain. Again.., just hilarious.

 

[Deon Sanders]

Next gen gets it done again

 

[chjtennis]

I think that was out..

Looked out to me as well. We need to use hawkeye. But I'm happy for Wawa, so I'm glad that they didn't use that this year.

 

[TennisFan3]

Djokovic would have a tough time with fed or Rafa! Djokovic playing great but it’s never easy against fedal!

I can understand your apprehension. But Fed/Nadal are not playing as well as Djoker in this tournament and in 2018/2019 in general.

 

[Bukmeikara]

Well, the ideal outcome for Federer I guess. Tsitsipas would be able to give a fight. Against Wawrinka it will be another routine straight set victory. I know this matchup too well.

Do you know the story about the only match in the past 20 years in which Federer didnt had a break point on the opponent's serve?

 

[AndyM]

the Mighty med 38 years old who would have thought he would be the favorite for his quarterfinal match before this f****** tournament
