2019 Australian Open Quarterfinals: Bautista Agut vs. Tsitsipas

[Moxie]

He's boring and another likely candidate for #1 hot sauce chef on tour

Based on absolutely nothing, as usual. Also, do you actually watch him play? He's got some aggressive game, which you and others seem to completely ignore, based on what you think of him. Open your eyes.

Not more boring than the one is in Basilea right now

Stefanos is missing a lot more. He could hardly miss against Federer.

That's mostly due to RBA though.

He defends a whole lot better and unlike the previous match Tsit has to be the aggressor from the baseline.

RBA must have taken "stamina" tips from a certain Mallorcan

His first serve percentage went down, therefore allowing RBA to look at second serves. He is missing some forehands even when he is not under pressure.

 

[rafanoy1992]

One set a piece. One thing they probably have to worry is they might have to play at least 3 to 3.5 hours unless sets 3 and 4 will be really quick.

Mac just said the crowd has been a non factor so far. I wonder if the conditions are attributing to his dropped level too. Day matches are completely different than night ones.

 

[Carol]

It’s not new that when a player beats one of the Top 3 the next match usually loses
But still there is a long way in this match

OMG, now you're just following the Darth and Front playbook of slander. What are you basing this on? Why is no one making comments about Nishikori, who, for example, has spent some 13 hours on court, and spent many on court to make the final at USO 2014? You are lazy thinkers, and lemmings.

 

[The_Grand_Slam]

Even his first serve percentage went down,

From the baseline he's not getting the huge advantage like the last match so he's going for more free points

therefore allowing RBA to look at second serves. He is missing some forehands even when he is not under pressure.

Missed some in the last match as well,it's just that Federer outshanked him

 

[DarthFed]

Why, because someone made a swords and sandals movie about it? Ask your ancestors about that.

They are long dead but the great granny was from Sparta

I would say if he better would take “stamina” from a certain Swiss , you know, at certain age......

Just trolling Carol back for her "Basilea" comment.

RE: RBA
Just being facetious,He's always been one of the fittest pros on tour.The difference this season has been his FH which has gained more depth and he's serving better

That certain swiss gets tired after 3 hours like we saw the other day,the mallorcan on the hand looked suspiciously "fit" playing two 5 hour matches each in his last 2 slams

Well, then you should troll DarthFed and his ugly comments about Agut

I think he is just flat after the win against Federer. He has just double-faulted. Its not like RBA is a great returner.

 

[rafanoy1992]

In all seriousness, Tsitsipas needs to work on his return of serve. Some of his returns on Bautista Agut's serves have been horrible. Also, he needs to be aggressive. He is letting Bautista Agut dictate the rallies right now.

On the other hand, Bautista Agut is hitting his forehand beautifully right now. He has now broken Tsitsipas in the third set.

RBA returns better than current Federer tbh.

I kinda expected RBA to win this match.
Tsitsipas's ROS is very exploitable.

Don’t you think 5 years apart is enough to have better legs and reaistence ? don’t keep in that way because then it would be a lot of things to say that you are not going to like, keep quiet please and watch the match

 

[DarthFed]

Disgraceful if he allows this JM to beat him here. RBA must not make a semi at a major!
