Rome SF Schwartzman v. Shapovalov

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Diego deserves it! Fair play to him!

 

[Ash Tennis]

Gg bois.

 

[Larry Duff]

Well that was fun

 

[Sudacafan]

Peeeequeee!!!!!

 

[Rubens]

Short man syndrome.

 

[Sysyphus]

Lil fella has done it.

Exciting match!

Can anyone say they'd begrudge Schwartzman a first Masters title here in Rome? I think that'd be lovely given some of the tennis he has produced in the last two matches here.

 

[acintya]

o m g šwarcman playin his best?

 

[Ash Tennis]

That was fun to watch.

 

[Sudacafan]

Vamos Pequeeeeh!!!!!!!!

 

[Federev]

couldn’t watch but heard this was EPIC.

was it epic?

Does the Shwartz have a shot?

 

[Sparlingo]

Great match, congratulations to Diego from a Shapo fan, those that criticise Shapo may they go to hell

Everyone wants him to win the title.

 

[acintya]

tyrion won

 

[TennisFan3]

Diego's girlfriend is taller than him. Unbelievable.

Anyway, Novak will clean Diego's clock tomorrow. It will be a MASSACRE.

 

[MeatTornado]

I'm happy. I almost always root for the king-slayer in a tournament to move on. Diego did the hard work of beating Nadal, he deserves a spot in the final.

Hopefully this will be as accurate as your previous predictions

 

[Sysyphus]

more and more people are saying this

 

[Ash Tennis]

Now... on to djokovic.

 

[abmk]

Diego takes it. Well done !
1st masters final for him.

Exciting match. Props to Shapo as well.

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

Great match. Shapo should have been a little more patient in the tie-break. Given how late and tough this match was, Joker wins tomorrow 2 and 2 in about an hour and ten minutes.

 

[Third Serve]

yes please

 

[N01E]

Good luck to the highlights making guy.

 

[Ash Tennis]

I will go for Diego obviously.

 

[Mkiske]

The end.

 

[TennisFan3]

Well, Novak got what he wanted from this match.

Even if the winner got a walkover, Novak would have STILL thrashed either player.

 

[StrongRule]

I wonder how many people on this forum will complain about Schwartzman being tired tomorrow. At least compared to the complaining about Rome final last year.

 

[rUDin 21]

I heard some "insider" stories about the coaching of Djoko. They always used to dis-respect his opponnets and call them **** and all the worst things on the earth. He was raised like he is the champ and everyone is **** compared to him - even Federer or whoever. I dont know if this is true but........a look at his box.. I mean for me Nole always looks like he thinks he is the best on the world and there will be never one that it is better - at most surfaces. Funny is only that this is not only an illusion in his head, but the truth.

Well they inserted this mentality in him right from the start.Maybe not to that degree that everyone around him are ****,but that "illusion" over time became reality.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Damn tough loss for Shapo. He was a little bit too erratic in the end. Schwarzman’s plan was just to keep the ball in play and let him implode.

 

[davced1]

But do you trust 'the actual mark + umpire's eyes' more than Hawk-eye?

The actual mark yes. No space means the ball is in, simple.

 

[EllieK]

It was in what crappy umpire is this?

Hawkeye said out

 

[acintya]

[Lleytonstation]

I blame Djoker.

 

[Sudacafan]

o m g šwarcman playin his best?

Mr Peque!

 

[Rubens]

This is it. I'm going for leg-shortening surgery.

 

[Nostradamus]

Let's admit it......... Diego will give Novak better match than this risk taking canadian... Diego is RAFA killer, he can also be Novak killer

 

[duaneeo]

In the end, the best outcome. Diego is the bigger threat on clay than Shapo. Both Nole and Rafa have found him to be a feisty competitor on clay in past meetings.

 

[EllieK]

Match is so good we barely got to see Diego's gf.

In a non-tennis life, no way Diego gets her.

 

[Red Rick]

Lil fella has done it.

Hope he isn't too tired to put up a good match

true dat

 

[Breakpointerer]

Very fun match. Really happy for Diego, he deserved that. Props to Shapo as well, was erratic in the TB but played pretty well for the most part.

 

[Born_to_slice]

Diego's girlfriend is taller than him. Unbelievable.

Anyway, Novak will clean Diego's clock tomorrow. It will be a MASSACRE.

Why?

 

[gogo]

Congrats to Diego and Denis for providing an entertaining match for fans!
And special congrats to Peque on the victory!

 

[Hitman]

Good luck to the highlights making guy.

Can't wait to watch them! Such a good match today.

 

[James P]

Well, he's 0-4 against Djokovic, but did fairly well in his 2 clay contests (5 setter at the French, 3 setter at last year's Rome contest), so he has a puncher's chance.

 

[mike danny]

It's very hard for Shapo to pull out wins against these super defenders. First PCB and now Diego.

In the end, they outlast Shapo.

 

[EllieK]

In a non-tennis life, no way Diego gets her.

That was kind of mean. Sorry Diego, I know you are a very nice guy.

 

[Nostradamus]

Why?

Maybe Diego is tall where it counts

 

[mike danny]

Well, he's 0-4 against Djokovic, but did fairly well in his 2 clay contests (5 setter at the French, 3 setter at last year's Rome contest), so he has a puncher's chance.

Better than Shapo at least.

 

[Hitman]

Well, he's 0-4 against Djokovic, but did fairly well in his 2 clay contests (5 setter at the French, 3 setter at last year's Rome contest), so he has a puncher's chance.

Hopefully he'll be mentally ready, the last two matches had to have taken a mental and emotional toll on him, let alone a physical one in the last match.

 

[Ray Mercer]

In the end, they outlast Shapo.

Need to get them on a fast indoor hardcourt where defence is less relevant. Surfaces are far too skewed towards defenders.
