2022 ATP General News

And he did it! Yeah, Felix!

The Canadian butterfly has finally emerged. And he did it the old fashioned John Houseman way ; he “earned” it, besting 2 top 6 players back to back.

ETA:. In live rankings, Felix in now in the top 8.

 

[Jelenafan]

Finally the young FAA was able to steer himself to land in the winner’s circle. Congratulations on winning your first sets and championship final. Felix was not to be denied. Bravo! Btw.. don’t sleep on Joe Burrow in the SB. I said it 3 weeks ago, Joe Burrow ain’t afraid of nobod.

Burrow is hilarious, love the kid. His deadpan but cocky attitude kills me.

All three are members or frequent visitors of the Nadal Academy.

they are all fantastic young players,they will learn a lot from tio Tony and Rafa about tenacity..they are also drama freee

Well done FAA!!!!!.....hope this is one of many ATP finals!
( I wish they did not put on a womens and mens final at the same time)

I never would have thought this possible, but what else can be said about Stefanos? As with the elites, sometimes he can't finish! Amazing!

FAA was 'on' from the start of the match and did not let Stefanos into the match.FAA kept his best to last when it mattered.Well done

This may be a title less day for the young top Greeks.

I'll have to catch the replay it was over so fast! Reminds me of leaving before the USO final in '90 thinking it would be a battle! It was over in 1 1/2 hrs. with Sampras annihilating Agassi in "straights!" I barely knew Pete except for his upset of Wilander in '89 USO 2nd Rd.!

LOL!....my hubby was a huge Sampras fan

Yeah! Sakkari's in a tough 3 hour battle with Kontaveit in the final of St. Petersburg! It doesn't look good at all with UFE's in the Chp. game!

Both Greek players have now lost their finals.....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Tsitsipas,who won the ATP finals and a Masters 1000 in the past,is now 0-8 in ATP500 finals.

I'm really shocked! He's supposed to be one of the heirs apparent for this generation of stars! I find it amazing when NG lose 250's and 500's!

Weird stat he can win higher ATP tournaments,but cannot win lower ones lol!

Taking a bunch of 500s was how Murray was able to steal the YE #1 back in 2016! It just made the tour look bad IMO when Djokovic won 2 Majors, was in the finals of another, then took 4 Masters, and made the final of the YEC Chp.! It all came down to that one match in Nov.!

Well that is how the points system works in the ATP....really can't blame Murray for it.

Felix got that monkey off his back and is victorious in a Sunday final.


Well done. Such Joy




Oh, by the way the Lambs going down...

 

[rafanoy1992]

I am hoping this title will allow Felix to reach greater heights. Also, it should help him go to the ATP Finals this year...

Nadal, Djokovic, Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas, FAA, Sinner will be an AWESOME field for the ATP Final.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I feel FAA could be a 'threat' this year at Wimbledon he has a good overall game for the grass.

 

[Kieran]

Everything about Felix is impressive. The lad has a cool temper, and a solid technique. Delighted he beat Hissyfits today
