Citi Open 2019, Washington DC, USA, ATP 500

While Felix is coming across as a nice young kid, I am not sure why Marin Cilic needs to get labelled as a "bad guy".
If this is due because of those "cough drops", then it is really tiresome to bring that issue over and over up.
People do make mistakes in their lives, but if those are not repeated, we should not hold it against then forever.

Naw, it's just because I don't like him. I was kinda making fun of those Fed fans that think the Fedal wars are good v. evil. FAA is so fresh-faced and young. I don't so much like Cilic's tennis, and I find him inconsistent. He may be a perfectly nice guy, but he plays a bad guy in my movie.

LOL Tiafoe thought he won the point but he lost it.
Bottom line, never celebrate the point before to be sure you made it

Got it. I concur in that Marin's game is not the most appealing for me either. I just read that he is a likeable guy and that is the general opinion in the locker room as well.

And he lost today. This is why I can't back him and don't trust him to win. For the record, I don't put much stock in "cough drop gate." I don't think his story is implausible.

LOL. Hopefully lesson learned by Frances.

After a tight first set, Paire donates it to Tsitsipas at the end of the set. #headcase. With the bonus code violation for smashing the racquet.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

What's with the shoegate there?

I thought shoe-gate was yesterday.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

I thought shoe-gate was yesterday.

I was just watching now...I think Tits decided to change shoes at 40 all and Paire got pissed and he decided to change his shoes the very next point. I caught the tail end of it.

Tsitsipas and the shoes...too much!

 

[Moxie]

Kyrgios certainly seems motivated.

 

[rafanoy1992]

With this win, Tsitsipas enters the Top 5 rankings for the first time of his career. Now, he will have a meeting with Kyrgios for 1st time ever. I hope the match will be a great one!

 

[Carol]

Kyrgios certainly seems motivated.

If he is going to act like this, it would better if he wouldn't be motivated :cuckoo:

 

[GameSetAndMath]

He may win or lose, but Nick will surely bring it to Tits.

 

[isabelle]

I'll root for Stefanos, hope he can clinch the title

 

[don_fabio]

Tsitsipas and the shoes...too much!

Yeah, I don't know what's up with that. He changed shoes in all 3 matches he played here not just yesterday. Is he going to do it against Nick today?

 

[don_fabio]

Kyrgios certainly seems motivated.

Definitely. The second point in the video is the proof, he is even running a lot. He is a completely different player in evening matches and full stadium. When he won Acapulco this year I think he played mostly night sessions.

 

[herios]

Me too

 

[the AntiPusher]

He may win or lose, but Nick will surely bring it to Tits.

You had better hope the "It" that he brings is a higher dosage of his Bipolar meds.

 

[kskate2]

His meds appear to be on overdrive. He is currently balling against Stef.
