That's a star of approval.
Imitation of the master who is commenting in this thread. This is not a jinx thread. The OP honestly believes the title and is putting their reputation on the line. This is not to be confused with the false dawn jinx/joke threads (mainly about Nadal):
The dreaded final is looking imminent with Fog dropping the ball here. Zverev pretty much owns all the players in the top half. He's not played Raonic, but somehow on this surface I think he breaks Milosh and that would be that.Fognini will carve a "Z" on the claycourts of Rome in spectacular fashion, putting an end to Zverev's butter-soft draw and ensuring the youngster is able duck another Nadal thrashing in the F
Your thread calling Fog over Murray fits the bill. This thread is just a pale copy, but note I'm saying Zverev wins this match and he's in the final.
He's under Layhani's skin big time which does not happen.
DF and BP againZverev please bagel this moron.
Fognini already in a grumpy mood after the 1st set, throwing his racquet in disgust right at the tail end. Early in the 2nd set, Fognini not happy with a line call that Umpire calls in, heated words are exchanged, Fabio grabbing Layhani's arm in the process. A few points play out, Fabio hits a ball out of the court in more frustration. Gets a unsportsmanlike conduct warning, Fabio shouting something to the Umpire. Layhani like a boss, calling Fabio out. Tells him to stop talking over the microphone lol...
Zed tried to feed it to Fabio.DF and BP again
Looks Fognini wants to see his baby's birth.
Haha. Fognini at his very best isn't beating Zverev in this form. Fog not bad in parts of this match just too much fire power for him to work his winner magic.
Zverev isnt getting intimitaded by either Fabio or crowd. Now Fabio nets, but if it didnt it would have hit ZverevZed tried to feed it to Fabio.
Zed laughing as the clown shoots an overhead from the baseline at him at net.
The difference in this match will be Zverev's generally pacey ground game. Fognini UE fest incoming.
I've seen an Umpire refuse to shake hands with Fabio, though can't remember who it was.Should be an interesting handshake. Fabio riled up Leyhani and I thought he went way over the line in doing so and disrupting the match with his behavior. Zverev actually seemed to play better when Fabio did all this.
Still a break up
They just don't hit as hard. For me a matchup advantage when a player loves hitting against another player. Murray and Nadal definitely Fog favorites now. Fognini can defend and rally as he tried with Zverev, but eventually he goes big.
