RG 2024 Quarter Final - Alexander Zverev vs Alex De Minaur

[messiahrobins]

Phew.

 

[Terenigma]

Almost a choke at the end but overall a solid Zverev performance and onwards to yet another SF and hopefully final!

 

[heninfan99]

The humble German wins

 

[Krish872007]

Zverev gets it done! Moves into his 4th straight semi final here at RG

Onwards!

 

[GRASScaraz]

Not very impressed with that performance. De Minaur handed the match to him

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Well I only watched the final 10 minutes but... boy, that was some hot garbage.

[messiahrobins]

Phew. I need a shower n

Goldie chainz!!!

Needed that in straight sets. If its 2nd match on Friday when the bounce is lower he should beat Ruud

 

[heninfan99]

...but man buns will not make a comeback

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Not very impressed with that performance. De Minaur handed the match to him

Still think he can beat Ruud. Think he has a higher ceiling. Of course if he off a bit Ruud can win. Think Zverev can do it though!

 

[Neptune]

Z in final will be more competitive than Ruud

 

[Krish872007]

Corretja: "de Manure"

 

[messiahrobins]

Great interview this

Agreed. Aged a lot there! Lol

 

[Hitman]

He is on track now. A straight sets win was badly needed. He will be ready to play Ruud. This year could be it for him.

 

[Nostradamus]

its like big heavy weight vs lighter weight featherweight guy punching each other,, No matter how fast the lighter guy is ,,, he eventually wears out........

 

[Rattie]

Zverev with his 20 winners and 43 UE’s, fails to serve for the match when 2 sets and a break up finally gets over the line. Not a prospective GS champion in my book. Go Casper!

 

[ibbi]

Glad it ended in straights, not only because of how bad it mostly was, but because this makes the semi-final more interesting. No excuses, no tiredness, rematch from last year, will it be another ass-whooping?

Casper needs to end the world's suffering and defeat Zedrot. Casper, we'd better not hear any excuses after the match.

 

[Fed881981]

De Minuar lost because he couldn’t win the big points: the set point for him in Set 2, the 5-5 point in the TB, the set point against him in Set 2, the 30-30 in the final game of the match and of course the match point. In addition, he only saved 1/6 break points.

You can’t win that way.

A big year for Zverev. As he knows it getting tougher to win one of these tournaments. Needs to try make it count

We need Zverev v Alcaraz, that will be epic i think.

 

[messiahrobins]

Sascha is such a class act. Top bloke.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

We need Zverev v Alcaraz, that will be epic i think.

Zverev v sinner too. I got nothing against Ruud but I feel Zverev can be more competitive against either

 

[ibbi]

Good riddance to these miserable night matches for another year anyway.

Zverev win 3rd match in row like this. Griekspoor choke, rune choke, deminaur choke

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sascha is such a class act. Top bloke.

He always speaks so well. Agreed

 

[TennisFan3]

Sascha is such a class act. Top bloke.

He speaks well. Always classy as well.
But if the allegations against him are true, then he is a despicable human being.

 

[messiahrobins]

Definitely. I think Alcaraz takes Sinner in 4.

Well lets see the court decision, but he does not strike me as a P Diddy tbh!

 

[MichaelNadal]

why does everyone hate Zverev? It’s not like he’s a bad player LOL. Hell I always thought he was the best player out of that gen. Big time underachieved IMO. He should have 4-6 slams by now

Period.

 

[Legend of Borg]

How does Street manage to look so bad even when winning in straight sets?

 

[TennisFan3]

Well lets see the court decision, but he does not strike me as a P Diddy tbh!

It's strange though. Why did he have all the allegations against him? There might be something there.
However, if he is found not guilty then I will take all this back.

Suffering won't end ...Casper will also lose

You need to understand a bit about Germany and how they are with the rich and famous there, its not uncommon for allegations to be made for a variety of things. Been like that for decades. Lots of footballers face these allegations all the time, most of the time they are false.
Reason i doubt the allegations is i have never seen Zverev actually get angry in an intimidating way when he is under intense pressure, he actually is a bit whiny and sulks. Some guys you can see have a temper issue, so lets say allegations were made about Rublev i could see there being perhaps something in them as when he loses it, he loses it big time. If that makes sense...not accusing Rublev of anything of course.

But he's only been able to make a lone slam final.

That's one good reason for not liking him.

That's a great post. Interesting observations and analysis. Thanks for sharing.

Do you want him to beat Ruud?

 

[duaneeo]

Not rooting for either one.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Not rooting for either one.

Fair enough

Acapulco 2022 says hi.

 

[Vincent-C]

Fair enough

Go Fed

 

[Kralingen]

I like Demon. Come at me @Kralingen

I tried to like him today.

We all saw how that turned out.

 

[NeutralFan]

Team Zverev here

Hope he wins the championship @NeutralFan @MichaelNadal

Yes, the way he destroyed ADM , I see him growing in confidence. He's not going down easily against anyone in semi and final. First he needs to avenge his lat year's loss to Ruud .

 

[NeutralFan]

Please like Ruud in semi

 

[middleballs]

Please like Ruud in semi

I’ll love Ruud like never before.

 

[NeutralFan]

I’ll love Ruud like never before.

Couldn't care less son

 

[middleballs]

Couldn't care less son

No matter how you view it, a successful Zverev is not good for the sport.

 

[legcramp]

You guys wonder why I call him De MUGaur

Pathetic service game. Disgusting match for a Slam QF. The least aesthetically pleasing match since Medvedev-De Minaur. Disgusting watch and I’m sorry to all Parisians who bought tickets for this.

Post would be perfect if you added "rodent" in there somewhere.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Sascha is such a class act. Top bloke.

Looks like a Russian thug. Manbun and chains. Allegations from women don't help.
