BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells, CA, 2023 - ATP Masters 1000

What a point at the net from Tiafoe and he breaks
TB for the 2nd set 6 all

 

[El Dude]

Again, Medvedev should have had that first point. Amazing play by Tiafoe, but Daniil is choking.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This will be a huge mental test for Meddy now in this TB

 

[El Dude]

LAVER IN THE HOUSE!

 

[Moxie]

This is ridiculous - Daniil seems to get a bit antsy when he has match point.

Ya think? lol. He's got a streak going, so that doesn't help.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I think Meddy just answered my question with a passing shot down the line

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

LAVER IN THE HOUSE!

That dosent beat Pink lol!

 

[Moxie]

LAVER IN THE HOUSE!

He's 84, and still shows up for lots of tournaments.

 

[Moxie]

That dosent beat Pink lol!

All due respect, yes it does. LOL.

 

[El Dude]

Let's see how many match points he can blow here...

 

[Moxie]

Well, that's it, but great effort by Frances, against a mostly very formidable Daniil.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

On his 8th MP Meddy gets over the line and defeats Tiafoe 75 76(4) into his first IW final
19th consecutive win
7th career M1000 final

 

[El Dude]

There it is. Daniil on a role. Alcaraz or Sinner has their work cut out for them.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

All due respect, yes it does. LOL.

I was joking Rod has been watching tennis a few days at IW

 

[Moxie]

@don_fabio You are tops in the draw challenge! If Medvedev wins it all, you win the challenge. (Someone below picked Alcaraz, so I think that's the only one who can displace you.)

 

[Moxie]

Uh oh, Margaret...here we go! Alcaraz v. Sinner. I suspect we'll be at least somewhat on opposite sides on this one.

I am a big fan of Alcaraz, I do feel this court suits him better, though to date Jannik has been able to ' hit through the court', in his matches at IW, I am just hoping for a competitive match

Yeah, I knew you'd be a bit on the fence, as am I. A great match, no injuries, and I'll be happy. But Alcaraz does have #1 on the line, if he wins it all. I wouldn't mind to see him get back there.

Well he does have a great goal to play for at IW getting back to no 1 and I will be delighted for him, if he does happen to win.

Sinner’s serve is letting him down early this match, damn!
