What are the odds Sonego was going to get to this final? Someone out there is going to be rich if they placed this bet.

I wonder if there has ever been a LL that has won a ATP 500? maybe Sonego could take that honor tomorrow,though I think Rublev who is having a great year,may have something to say about that

When was the last time a lucky loser even made it to the final of a 500?

But sure, Rublev is going to win this.

I'm sure it's happened! Having a senior moment! I'm positive a LL got all the way to a Masters SF in the last 2 yrs, but need to go look it up!

Google is my friend

Andrey Rublrv was a LL in 2017 at the Umag Open defeating the defending champion Fabio Fognini in the q/finals.In the final he defeated Paolo Lorenzi in straight sets to win his first ATP title.( It was the seventh time a LL would win a tournament,last tennis player doing so was Rajeev Ram in 2009 at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships).

Djokovic was destroyed recently by both Nadal and future ATG Sonego.

In addition at RG he also lost a set to PCB and went 5 sets against Tsitsipas.

In Vienna he luckily survived sets to the likes of Coric and Krajinovic despite "trying so hard".

Stop pretending that he is so great, things have changed and he is very beatable. His level isn't that high and it will only get worse next year.

Interesting..you bring up some valid points

Haha, next ATG , that’s the best shit from you.

Yes he lost these sets in RG, that’s what we talk about, he played subpar, also Vienna, and despite almost won everything this year.
And you Bobotards behave like Bobo beated peak Novak which is impossible.
And still everyone knows he would have won US Open if not eliminated by the fucking officials.

All of the Big 3 are post prime, yes, mostly Roger of course

Stop trying to jinx my Rublev !!

Interesting final. It's not like Rublev has never been favored to win a final, I don't think, but it might be a bit new to be this much of a favorite. Sonego is in a position, as with his Djokovic match, to just swing freely. I still pick Rublev, because he does have a good head, (and a good head of hair!) but I'll give Sonego a set to Rublev's nerves.

Rublev is a tenacious lad, I like that attitude a lot, and I’m glad to see him progressing at a not to fast pace. It’ll be an interesting final but I expect Rublev to take it in straights, but...the other bloke is having a very interesting run...

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

mr LL is in the final then..checked his wikipage, djoko victory is his first top10 win.

 

[Andy22]

the hardest 500 event in history Djokovic says turned out to be true as Thiem djokovic, tsitsipas Medvedev All can tell you its hope for a good final.

 

[Moxie]

Rublev wins and they just said he didn't drop his serve the whole tournament. 5th title in a shortened year!

 

[Andy22]

Rublev 500 series goat? but really I think his great season 4th best on tour behind Djokovic Nadal, Thiem who knows maybe Rublev can win ATP finals.

Andrey is the one player who started the year well and after the shutdown restart has continued to progress. My concern for Rublev is how much he has in the tank with Paris this week and then London.

But what the hey, he’s young and he is on a roll. Enjoy it Andrey !

I was looking at the Paris draw that @tented kindly posted and I wondered if Rublev might withdraw? But, as you say, he's young and why not?

 

[Bonaca]

Congrats to Andrej.
Well deserved and hopefully enough energy left in the tank to play good masters tournament.
It’s time for a real title that counts.

так держать мальчик
