Who wins today? I will go with Berretini and Monfils.

I strongly hope Matteo wins.
Second match to Gael.

 

[isabelle]

Thiem and La Monf probably in final

 

[Bonaca]

Matteo break in front. Forza Matteo !

 

[herios]

Matteo grabs the first set. He broke Domi 3 times in this set.
Forza!!

 

[the AntiPusher]

The Dominator may eventually prevail

It's far from ovaah

 

[herios]

The Dominator may eventually prevail

Hopefully, not

 

[kskate2]

Matteo gets tight in 2nd. Going 3 in Vienna

 

[the AntiPusher]

Hopefully, not

ladies I know my tennis better than regular season American football

 

[Moxie]

Some point! Come on, Matteo...break back.

 

[the AntiPusher]

My Lord..this tennis is sick ...who needs Novak and what's his name .. jajaja

 

[the AntiPusher]

Dominator has so much confidence.

 

[Moxie]

I haven't seen Domi play this well since the clay season.

 

[kskate2]

A bit disappointing. Matteo lost the plot. Wasn't aggressive enough in the 2nd and 3rd sets.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Dominic Thiem, Dominic Thiem..that was surely a hometown announcer

 

[Moxie]

A bit disappointing. Matteo lost the plot. Wasn't aggressive enough in the 2nd and 3rd sets.

He's in a new stratosphere in the last few months, and he had a crowd 100% behind the other guy, plus the pressure of trying to get into the YEC. A lot going on in Matteo's head, I'd guess. Some good tennis was played today.

I know. He's not a mental giant yet. Maybe needs to see a sports psych. I would just like to see him continue to push and move forward especially when it gets mental.

Commie said that De Minaur speaks to his sports psych in Spain on the phone every day.

 

[mrzz]

The more talented, overall better, with higher upside, more titles, and specially, a top class one handed backhand won. Brrfftttt!!!

Is there a job to pay to be just a pain in the ass? I want it for me. It is so much fun.


P.S. Great match, great effort from both players. It is "just" a ATP 500 semi. Think about that when people try to "fix" tennis.
