ATP Roland Garros / French Open, Paris, France, 2019

[tented]

Tsitsipas up 4-2 in the 1st set tiebreak.

I hope @mrzz is watching: two one-handed BHs


EDIT: Stans wins 3 points in a row, up 5-4

 

[tented]

Awesome BH by Stan to save SP.

6-6

 

[tented]

Tsitsipas double faults to give Stan the first set.

 

[herios]

Stefanos breaks and up 3:0 in the second

 

[don_fabio]

Just came home after morning family duties, saw part of the TB. Looks like a great match so far.

 

[don_fabio]

Wawrinka is close to Stanimal mode, comes back two times in the 2nd set.

 

[DarthFed]

Perseus going basket case in this set. Twice up a break and just served for the set. Obviously he can't afford to fall 2 sets down to Stanimal.

 

[tented]

Awesome 25-shot rally to save SP.

 

[don_fabio]

unbelievable rally

 

[El Dude]

What an incredible match.

 

[don_fabio]

this game is unreal

 

[El Dude]

The young Greek has had quite a few mis-hits but boy is he legit. He's an elite player and unless Thiem pulls off this title somehow he's the best bet for a first player born in the 90s to win a Slam. He's very close.

 

[El Dude]

Stefanos just can't capitalize on those breakpoints - he's doing a 2018 Roger.

 

[don_fabio]

he will regret this if he goes 2 sets down

 

[El Dude]

His mental game is just so impressive. He's had so many opportunities to implode but he just keeps re-centering himself.

Umpire is scared to do his job. Perseus should have lost that 5-4 game when he hit that ball in the stands.

 

[don_fabio]

His mental game is just so impressive. He's had so many opportunities to implode but he just keeps re-centering himself.

that amazes me too.

 

[El Dude]

I'd love to see a Thiem-Tsitsipas final. Probably won't happen this year but maybe next Roland Garros.

 

[El Dude]

We've got a match.

 

[El Dude]

You've got to think that of Rafa's three possible SF opponents, he least wants to face Tsitsipas.
