Only part of your mind have but other part haven't lost hopeIn my mind they already have. But 5 years when the big 3 are gone (at this rate they may playin into their late 40's), guys like Tsits are supposed to be the future. That to me, is sad.
If Tsits was the guy you banked on to beat Djoko, you picked the wrong horse. That would have been 6-3 6-4 6-4 and out. Looking at his match last night and Djokovic's yesterday was night and day, and Djokovic was just a level above. You should put all your eggs in on Thiem or Medvedev on the opposite side as far I'm concerned. They have the best shot. Maybe Zverev, if he's firing on all cylinders and serving 80% like he was at the AO.
Truth is truth.Only part of your mind have but other part haven't lost hope
Tennis will be good, when big 3 go, few players will mostly divide slams, there will be rivalries, we will get used to them... Off course, atp can have wta destiny, but I don't think it will happen...
Anyway, you are good poster, nice Fed fan, and I am always sad to read stuff like this from your side... It's something one would expect from People's Champ or tennisaddict... Please don't spoil yourself...
You don't know that? Mouratglou is Tsitsipas' coach, along with Stef's father Apostolos.What was Patrick Mouratglou doing at Tsitsipas’ match? Anybody else see that?
Jo Tsonga and Tomaš Berdych are spinning in their graves. Theyd have a few slams if they played in this **** era.
Two next gens played and a next gen won.People are crying for nothing, a next gen won and the match was good.

Did I miss something? When did that happen?You don't know that? Mouratglou is Tsitsipas' coach, along with Stef's father Apostolos.
Federer won Slams in WEAK ERA.
It’s not worth arguing with him when it concerns Fed. Sorry, Yugram.That is debatable. But surely, the slams that Djokovic is winning NOW is in a "WEAKER" era compared to Federer's.
How can you compare the next gen to the players in the past? Every one of those players (Roddick, Hewitt, Safin, Nalbandian etc etc) are 10x greater than jokers such as Tsitsipas, Zverev, Kygrios, Thiem etc.
It's much easier for Djokovic fans though. I also didn't watch tennis for long time, and I'm still not watching this slam.I'm quite happy happy any tennis right now personally....
It's like when you've been hungry for so long, you don't really become too picky when you finally get to the table, you just want to eat. After the longest period I have been in my whole life without live tennis of any sort, I am happy to watch a slam being played out. There have been some interesting five setters that I have watched.

Bruh you’re a Djokovic fan! He needs you!Maybe, but I'm actually watching a lot of everything right now, not really that focused on Djokovic. I think Novak has only been in like 5% of the matches I have seen since Cincy started.

I did not expect to see his game so brutally exposed and clearly the tour has worked him out. Coric is an average player at best.Maybe chill out with the absolutes?
Tennis is so boring without any fans. I mean on all those great points, there is no cheering and the whole atmosphere is like dead. The Ooohs and Aahs from the crowd and all the player reactions are such an IMPORTANT part of tennis.
Everything seems muted now. Someone hits a great shot or has an amazing get - DEAD silence. 40 shot rally - DEAD silence.
I mean this is better than NO tennis for sure. But it really seems flat. It's like being a gladiator in an empty arena.
Тут все таки игроки по разному играют.

Tbh both Nadal and Djokovic are passing Fed, I would be baffled if one of them does not at this point. Fed is gonna officially be a middle aged man in 11 months and Djokodal don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.One thing 2020 has shown is, is there's absolutely no way Djokovic isn't passing Fed.
How was it "brutally" exposed? Coric didn't double bagel him. It was a tough match. Also, on a good day, Coric is up there in potential with other hyped next gens.I did not expect to see his game so brutally exposed and clearly the tour has worked him out. Coric is an average player at best.
In 2018, Tsitsipas started training in Mouratoglou' tennis academies, Mouratoglou was obviously impressed by Tsitsipas' talent and so he began to accompany him to tournaments.Did I miss something? When did that happen?
I'll be honest with you, if I had a choice of fans or no fans, I would choose fans, but I actually don't mind the matches being played without any fans....since I know it is only short term, I don't mind it as such. It's not something that will be around, very unique experience, and that alone makes it alluring to me...the novelty of it. I am sure it will wear off soon, but for now, I don't mind personally.

I can only assume you did not watch the whole match. Please if you get chance watch a re-run. Tsitsipas has no BH at all. His return of serve is awful. Players will now just plug away at that BH until it collapses. Also his 2nd serve is poor. Far too many holes in his game. He was arguably better 3 years ago.How was it "brutally" exposed? Coric didn't double bagel him. It was a tough match. Also, on a good day, Coric is up there in potential with other hyped next gens.
This is bewildering...
Tsitsipas is 0-7 vs Top 40 players (1-9 vs Top 50) at slams outside his 2019 Australian Open run.
I personally prefer watching tennis on TV without fans. Players are more focused and there are no ohhs, ahhs, outs etc. sounds from the crowd. Also, I can assess players’ techniques better without crowd. I have to say that I am impressed with improvements in Djokovic's technique. Coric-Tsitsipas was a great match and both played very well. Pity that Nadal and Federer are not there, it would be fun.
I think that's just a bonus. Sometimes it's not all about someone's favorite player.Of course, because your favorite player is a lock for all the titles right now.
Honestly, I feel tennis has been really similar since 2000.I think Tsitsipas would be a top 10 player back then as he is today, or fight his way into it. But I disagree that he would go unbeaten and take everyone out like he is saying. We are not talking about 70 or 80s equipment and how lesser the game was back then compared to now. 05 tennis and onwards is still very similar to today. Maybe the equipment today and tactics has slightly improved, but that's it.
Even if Tsitsipas had won, he still struggled with Walmart Djoker.If Tsits was the guy you banked on to beat Djoko, you picked the wrong horse. That would have been 6-3 6-4 6-4 and out. Looking at his match last night and Djokovic's yesterday was night and day, and Djokovic was just a level above. You should put all your eggs in on Thiem or Medvedev on the opposite side as far I'm concerned. They have the best shot. Maybe Zverev, if he's firing on all cylinders and serving 80% like he was at the AO.
I question if they will play until stadiums are full. Their egos are bigger i think than Novaks. I have heard a few journalists say Nadal and Federer are aware of their worth.Well, I certainly would have been interested to see how Federer and Nadal would have responded to playing without fans.

Watch Nadal last year in US Open final in 5th set near the start when crowd booed him. It gave him a 2nd wind and he got super pumped. I cannot see who he would be fist pumping in this environment and he would be flat. Federer would hate it. He loves the adulation not just in the stadium but around the grounds as he walks on air. I think Federer has already mentioned something about coming back in front of fans.Well, they are the two darlings of the tour, so probably for them, it would feel more stranger not having the roar of the crowd pushing them on.
Hey FreeBird!! Glad to see you back here, mate!
Hope you're doing great.
And did you not expect me to last long here?
His error rate will always be high, but he showed much improvement and his net game is miles better. Good to see from him.Love the aggression and shot making from Shapovalov. Wish he could keep it going for 5 sets. CB was just kept going at him and was patient to eek out the win.
Serve was great. Groundies are heavy and at times he was able to maintain that level. Hopefully he can lower the error rate without sacraficing the pace.
Dear Gary, thank you for your comments.
In my opinion, Djokovic is dramatically improving; he never served better, sliced better, volleyed better, hitting overheads better; hitting forehand better. There is added layer of Federer's game in his game now; he looks like a next stage in game evolution. However, other players are doing the same thing as well. Thiem, Tsitsipas, RBA and other have attained incredible heights, and, for me, when I look their technique they are miles ahead of previous generations. This is also the reason why Djokovic have problems when playing with them (RBA, Thiem etc.; with current level he would annihilate previous fields). It is my honest opinion that the best Wimbledon version of Federer is the one in 2019. People say Djokovic played poorly, I say Federer made him to look like that.
Best wishes
