Birthday Boy really stepped up winning the TB 76(3)
I feel Jarry lost his control in the 2nd set, when he was broken and could not break back
Going 3

Totally Margaret…. Second set Jarry had 14 winners and 24 ufes. Paul had 8 winners and 4 ufes. With the potential win within your grasp, it’s easy to lose focus.

So important in clay tennis to keep your UFE as low as you can.

Let’s see if Jarry can do a reset.

Let's see who will blink first in this decider.

 

[kskate2]

TP blinks first and dumps serve. Jarry up 5-2

 

[Moxie]

Tommy Paul has saved 2 MPs. One more to go...

 

[Moxie]

Deuce. Jarry super-tight.

 

[nehmeth]

Biggest stage Jarry’s ever been on.

 

[kskate2]

Jarry bricked that volley on MP. Now he's down BP after an overcooked FH

 

[kskate2]

TP just keeping the ball in play and allowing dude to self-destruct

 

[kskate2]

Jarry can step up on the BP, but seems to tighten on the MPs

 

[kskate2]

Wow. Finally got a TP error on MP and Jarry wins it!

 

[Moxie]

Whoa...finally! Bravo, Nico!

 

[nehmeth]

Jarry! Congrats.

 

[Moxie]

Nice tournament for Tommy Paul, too.

 

[kskate2]

I like TP, but he's the equivalent of Svitolina on the WTA. A good overall game w/ better than average net skills, but no real weapon or kill shot.

 

[nehmeth]

Sinner has the carrot crew. Jarry needs a bunch of guys with giant breathe right strips.

so would they be called the breathers or the strips?

Well we all know Stefs bhand is a glaring weakness in his game and his opponents have the ability to expose it! to date Stef hasnt made the necessary steps or his coach his father to rectify his bhand

Must be my warped sense of humour, but I laughed reading about try to rectify his backhand given rectify and rectum (which is what his backhand is like) share the same first 4 letters!
