AUSTRALIAN OPEN, Melbourne, ATP GRAND SLAM

[mrzz]

Yes, it got better. I was almost deciding to go to sleep.

 

[britbox]

Wow... pick that angle out

 

[britbox]

Nice hold to love from Sascha.

 

[britbox]

3-3. Fascinating match. One break here might even decide the match.

 

[Denis]

I find Zverev unneccisarily passive at times with the serve he has. Crunch time coming up.

 

[mrzz]

Match went from bad to good and now to... weird.

 

[DarthFed]

Pretty good stuff right now though I only started watching in the 3rd. Zverev's serve is money but Rafa is controlling the baseline right now. He's hitting really well.

 

[DarthFed]

Zverev is returning poorly and a little too passive from the baseline.

 

[britbox]

Good aggressive game from Sascha. Tension time.

 

[britbox]

Zverev is returning poorly and a little too passive from the baseline.

Yeah, he's returned poorly in the last 2 sets.

 

[mrzz]

Actually Zverev serve got better by the end of the third set. 6 DFs I guess and a very low first serve pct.

 

[Denis]

If Zverev's serve drops a level he is toast.

 

[Denis]

That's more like it.

 

[Denis]

Tie-break, complete toss-up at the moment.

 

[britbox]

Couple of missed opportunities for Sascha in that game... hope he doesn't rue it in the breaker.

 

[mrzz]

God, Zverev is stupid

 

[britbox]

Sascha should never have lost that point regardless of how great Nadal was.

 

[DarthFed]

He's blowing a lot of opportunities and you can't do that vs a sharp Nadal.

 

[Denis]

Rafa is weasiling himself into some points, doesn't bode well for him though as it's an indication he is not in charge.

 

[britbox]

Net game needs work.
