RG 2019 4R: Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Stan Wawrinka

[Backhanded Compliment]

Does anyone know why the French crowd is rooting for Wawrinka?

Because nobody strikes the ball as hard or with such "Elan"... also greatest shorts in tennis history

 

[Krish0608]

I keep finding myself saying "That's just so good" out loud at Tsitsipas. Fantastic tennis from him.

He is the real deal isn't he?

 

[AndyM]

it's 2019 and they never schedule enough time to finish all their matches and they can't move the match Sony shakouri is totally screwed

 

[TheIntrovert]

AndyM is a great poaster. If people do not pick up on his nuance and beautifully organized stream of consciousness it is a you problem not an Andy problem.

I always thought Shakespeare was boring and overrated until I was taught how to appreciate his work at school

 

[Poisoned Slice]

wow

 

[NoleFam]

How lucky is Federer.. Guy faces an absolute mug in Mayer while his potentially tough QF matches are killing each other in the previous round. Unbelievable

And what about Nadal? Waxes off his opponent today while Nishikori hasn't started and will have to play consecutive days.

While warrior Rafa gets Londero and his QF opponent will have to play 3 days in a row. I'm guessing Paire will win just because it's Nadal's draw.

 

[I Am Finnish]

He's friends with Paire.

They are lovers

 

[Zardoz7/12]

Stefanos is pretty solid at the net.

 

[AndyM]

Nishikori totally screwed

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

I always thought Shakespeare was boring and overrated until I was taught how to appreciate his work at school

Sparknotes no fear Shakespeare meets ttws no fear AndyM

Yeah, compared to nadal’s potentially tough quarterfi- oh wait.

 

[BeatlesFan]

One reason why I've never been sold on TsiTsiPas as a future #1 and multislam winner.

He’s only 20 and is clearly the best of the under 25 crowd. He may not have the results of Z, but is already the better player.

 

[swordtennis]

And what about Nadal. Waxes off his opponent today while Nishikori hasn't started and will have to play consecutive days.

LOL poor Kei he is going to be grinded up mince meat.

 

[icedevil0289]

another 0-15 start for stan.

 

[AndyM]

only the French in the year 2019 has unfinished matches in a grand slam one of the four biggest tournaments of the year

 

[Feather]

Five hours, too long

 

[I Am Finnish]

And what about Nadal? Waxes off his opponent today while Nishikori hasn't started and will have to play consecutive days.

And there is a chance of rain Tommorow

 

[reaper]

He’s only 20 and is clearly the best of the under 25 crowd. He may not have the results of Z, but is already the better player.

Best of the 31 and under possibly.

 

[Standaa]

I was gonna go to sauna but there’s no way I’m leaving right now.

 

[abmk]

that I/O FH from Stan was pretty close to the line.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

How lucky is Federer.. Guy faces an absolute mug in Mayer while his potentially tough QF matches are killing each other in the previous round. Unbelievable

He’s a nadalovic injury away from luckiest title in sports history.

Hate this guy

 

[arvind13]

Right now, there is a match which would go into history as one of the best at RG without a big 3 member and you say this ????

doesn't matter i'm sure there are great matches being played out on the challenger tour right now. hewitt and nalbandian played a classic five setter in 2012 australian open. most fans don't give a ****. because those guys weren't the big stars. and tsitsiasspipe and zebra aren't seen by the public as stars because they absolutely SUCK SUCK SUCK. the worst tennis generation in history. they can't beat an aging big 3 at slams. ppl won't see them as stars once big 3 retire

 

[robert.s]

He’s only 20 and is clearly the best of the under 25 crowd. He may not have the results of Z, but is already the better player.

He's the most entertaining player of the young bunch and that counts a lot. Also gets the mixture of arrogance and coolness spot on. So far at least.

 

[vsdtrek]

Does anyone know why the French crowd is rooting for Wawrinka?

Awesome player and a former champ.

 

[Backhanded Compliment]

for any other young player Stan's efforts would have crushed their hopes but Tsisi is composed... he's younger but Stan has the guns and at his age And wow touch from stan

 

[Deleted member 77403]

What a pick up by Stanimal. Beautiful.

 

[NoleFam]

LOL poor Kei he is going to be grinded up mince meat.

He'll be ground beef most likely after Nadal is done. Lol

 

[Terenigma]

Amazing backhand from Tsitsipas and an amazing pick-up from Wawrinka. This has been such a good set.

 

[abmk]

jeez ! great pass from tsit and Stan responds with a great half-volley pickup !!

 

[RaulRamirez]

Insane galf-volley by Stan

 

[skip1969]

Five hours in, Stan doing NOTHING on return. Won six points in six games this set. If he was hardly getting it done before, how is he supposed to break in the fifth like that? Hate the passiveness.

 

[TennisFan3]

He’s only 20 and is clearly the best of the under 25 crowd. He may not have the results of Z, but is already the better player.

It takes more than being "good" to be a #1 and multi slam winner. Look back at Nadal when he was 20. He would never have choked as TsiTsiPas did.

 

[RF-18]

How lucky is Federer.. Guy faces an absolute mug in Mayer while his potentially tough QF matches are killing each other in the previous round. Unbelievable

Nadal shouldn't really be concerned how tough a road fed has. No matter the circumstances he should win the match and there are no excuses really. He will have the opportunity to take him down himself.

 

[AceSalvo]

And there is a chance of rain Tommorow

No doubt scheduling is gonna get screwed up.

 

[Steve0904]

Does anyone know why the French crowd is rooting for Wawrinka?

Why not? Aren't you?

 

[Zebrev]

I don't think I have seen Tsits change racquet once yet on his own serve.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Delpo looks good, will lose 0 0 2 to the doll in the final

 

[Fed881981]

Stan is a true warrior! I’m a Fed fan, but I missed this version of Stan. Big heart, desire and whatnot.

My wife keeps asking “Is Stan still playing?!”

 

[AndyM]

The mighty f****** fat gets a walk over to the semi-finals

 

[Red Rick]

They are lovers

They are a Paire

 

[NoleFam]

And there is a chance of rain Tommorow

True. I think Mon-Wed there are chances for rain. Huge chances Wednesday.

 

[icedevil0289]

Yeah, compared to nadal’s potentially tough quarterfi- oh wait.

who did nadal even play? id say they both were lucky with their opponents though on paper it seemed like fed would have a tougher root with a potential diego and tsitsipas but it fell through. atleast mayer is a more recognizable name, idek who nadal played

 

[Backhanded Compliment]

He's the most entertaining player of the young bunch and that counts a lot. Also gets the mixture of arrogance and coolness spot on. So far at least.

one cant teach the mental thing and he is a bit of an artist... he loves to play in interesting ways. That's what gets you through to lifting big trophies

 

[Benben245]

Impressive athleticism from the Tsits . Wawrinka's legs look worse for the wear

 

[TennisFan3]

I agree. Fed might win in straights again!

Doesn't really matter how Fed wins his QF. If he gets to Novak in the final, Fed will have a hard time winning a set. That much I can assure you.

 

[BeatlesFan]

How lucky is Federer.. Guy faces an absolute mug in Mayer while his potentially tough QF matches are killing each other in the previous round. Unbelievable

Lol, while Nadal plays total mugs in his quarter. Fed hating still predominates even in the midst of this epic match. Hilarious!

 

[Deon Sanders]

If only there was something that would have picked the right ball mark

 

[Terenigma]

If only we had a system to double-check which mark it is to stop arguments between umpires and players.

 

[FedGR]

Beautiful shots from both players. One of the best matches this year.
