Shanghai Masters 2019 - Semi Final - Tsitsipas (6) vs Medvedev (3)

[Paulreedsmith]

Hahahah taunting Sissy!

 

[robthai]

Why is stefanos so useless against the bullsheet Russian?

 

[guitarra]

Fluky return on 2nd BP from Meddy but yeah, he breaks again.

 

[DSH]

Meddy is a great comedian and I love it!

 

[guitarra]

Sense of humor lacking there? It’s a TTW meme.

Meanwhile, little boy fights back in Mad Lad match game. 5-5

Sorry, I'm not familiar with TTW memes.

 

[Otacon]

What a match by Med !

 

[MichaelNadal]

Seems like only Nadal can beat Danill lol

 

[DSH]

Medvedev, the machine!
New Djokovic?

 

[I Am Finnish]

Tsitsipas was disappointed but the handshake was ok

 

[mike danny]

Med doesn't drop a set on his way to the final.

He should win the title now. I don't think Zverev or Berrettini will beat him.

 

[guitarra]

The handshake was OK. Looks like the jitters between them are put to rest.

 

[Otacon]

Hasn't lost a set since USO.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Medvedev will win a slam in the future no doubt

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

 

[I Am Finnish]

They might meet again in London

 

[StrongRule]

Zverev leads the head to head 4-0, and only one of the matches was close. But obviously Med improved a lot since then while Zverev's level dropped.

Aussiedarcy is the one who is disappointed!

Make no mistake, this Russian is new Djokovic.

 

[steelcity32]

Djokovic clone continues the tradition of beating Fed clones. Patience > power

Maybe @Meles can answer it

@I Am Finnish will now tell me to, “shut your duck up!”

Small kid fought today but bigger Bullsheet Russian fought better. Same as it ever was.

Future HCgoat

 

[DSH]

Make no mistake, this Russian is new Djokovic.

But he is the better villain from those two!
He embrace this role much better than the Serbian.
And he is maliciously funny, like that, without forcing it.

She is a Moscow-born former Russian, then the Soviet Union, tennis player. She married to Greek tennis coach Apostolos Tsitsipas.

 

[Red Rick]

Can't wait for Tsitsipas to proclamin Medvedev goat just because he himself is useless against him.

 

[March31]

Ok now London waits.

 

[mike danny]

Tsitsipas and Med should both rest and then go straight to London. No point in playing other events.

I just want Meddy to make a heel-face turn and start "sending love" to the crowd.

He'll go from MadLad to GladLad

 

[James P]

Missed the match. Apparently I had to sleep, but YEAH BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
6 consecutive finals!!

I have been saying this for months. I was actually the first to call him out as the next ATG. Only to be called insane... "Medvedev is a next-gen mug"... etc... etc. I'm happy to be proven right. For a long time, I've seen the ATG qualities in this guy.

Unfortunately, the rest of this board thinks you can only be an ATG if you are attractive enough to be a Calvin Klein underwear model, hit really hard, and have a one-handed backhand.

I think you are victimising yourself a bit much. After dozens of false starts from Lost Gen and NextGen players, people need to see consistent results + special performances at slams to truly believe any hype trains any longer. Medvedev only became convincngly the real deal after taking Nadal to the limit in the US Open final, and still backing it up after with consistent results. But he still needs to do the actual job of winning slams, which should happen.

Thought Tsits played an excellent match today. The number one problem for Stefanos is he does not have a good return game. He changed his game plan for the 2nd set and probably should've stayed with what worked in first set. Really smart match today by both players.

Tsitsipas was the better player in set 1 but Medvedev was clutch in the important moments

0 4 against Zverev.
Is time to overcome that match - up in favor of Medvedev.
Go, Meddy!

Classic RPS relationship...Mad Lad is paper covering Tsits rock but Zedraffe is scissors!

You can’t simply skip steps.

(1) learn to tie your shoelaces
(2) beat BS Russian

0 - 5

Medvedev owns Tsitsipas
Tsitsipas owns Zverev
Zverev owns Medvedev

 

[mightyjeditribble]

I'm so impressed with Medvedev. You keep expecting him to have a letdown, but he doesn't.

Tsitsi had a chance to get back into it though. So a good week for him too, really.

Tsistsipas wishes for Once In A Lifetime he wins. Instead it remains Life During Bullsheet Russian Wartime ...This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco!

There is no way in a million years Tsitpas would have achieved where he was today, if he has not come from an all encompassing Tennis family, and his mother is instrumental in that, being a Number 1 junior herself
Greece does not support or pay/encourage tennis

 

[marc45]

@carole_bouchard
Tsitsipas in a smile about how it feels to play vs Medvedev: "It's boring. It's so boring. Same thing again and again and again." Said he's angry to have again played on Danil's term, but out of the 5 losses now vs him it's the one where he felt the most comfy so win will come.

 

[March31]

Boring, eh? )) Of course it's boring to lose again and again)

p.s. Zverev does break Medvedev today in the first set... but loses the set all the same. At least Tsits didn't lose by a DF )
