GOAT vs. Man - RG 2019 QF

[kskate2]

Wow, Kei has won two full games.

wrong thread homey

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Way too many BPs left on the table, extending this game unnecessarily. On the brighter side, Nadal's moonballs will probably be a relief after facing these bombs from Stan.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Stan is not showing any effects of 5 hr game.

 

[don_fabio]

I just did a quick count, and Stan has won only 4 of 15 tiebreaks against Roger (that includes today).

That's what the commentator here said more or less same numbers when they were coming to the 1st set TB. Those stats tell Stan to avoid TBs at all cost, but somehow he managed to play 2 so far.

He just keeps running. He is super fit.

 

[don_fabio]

Play suspended due to thunders?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

This can only help Stan.

Well he had the break advantage and gave it back. When you do that, it's inevitable you'll end up in a TB (Rog is not likely to donate his serve twice in the set)

Yeah, he was 4/13 before today.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Looking at stats during rain delay.

Roger 6% on BP conversion rate (1/16) vs. Stan 50% (2/4).

Roger +4 differential and Stan -4 differential.

Also, Roger is doing better than Stan on second serve points won and return pts won.

 

[Bonaca]

This is starting to remind me of the Tsitsipas match in AO19. Roger couldn't buy a break of service there either

He will win this, dont worry. But he has to play bull next, so he is not to be congratulated.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

They just announced that matches will start at 6.30 p.m.

They just announced that matches will start at 6.30 p.m.

Hopefully they will be able to finish today, and not have to come back tomorrow.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Hopefully they will be able to finish today, and not have to come back tomorrow.

They will be able to finish. We have three hours of daylight and 1.5 sets to be played. Certainly they can finish.

They should move the women to PC where Ralph will do the last rites for Kei in 5 more minutes.

 

[tented]

They will be able to finish. We have three hours of daylight and 1.5 sets to be played. Certainly they can finish.

Unless it rains again.

 

[don_fabio]

Who will benefit of this rain delay? It doesn't do any good to Stan who will now cool down and maybe come out sluggish. He has to serve it out first. I hope he is jumping rope in a locker room.

 

[lob]

no disrespect, the fools are fighting to win the right to get impaled by the bull.

I think it is the other way. Stan will benefit from the delay. Any break would help him to come back physically in stronger form than before.
Mentally, he is always there.

 

[tented]

no disrespect, the fools are fighting to win the right to get impaled by the bull.

But that's exactly what you'd expect, right? Think about how hard Federer fought in the 2011 SF to beat Novak, knowing before he even took court he would face Nadal in the final.

 

[Federberg]

Who will benefit of this rain delay? It doesn't do any good to Stan who will now cool down and maybe come out sluggish. He has to serve it out first. I hope he is jumping rope in a locker room.

It might exacerbate any lactic acid build up for Stan. On the other hand it allows the old man to rest up. Think it favours Roger. He doesn't need rhythm
