Internazionali BNL d'Italia - Rome ATP Masters 1000, 2019

Rafa finally looking like Rafa!

Remember he looked like Rafa in Madrid before he lost to Tsitsipas. However, it looks like this time he will maintain the momentum.

Schwartzman could be a very dangerous floater at the French. He made the quarters last year ear and took the only set of Rafa. I think he could give Djokovic a good challenge today.

How about in slams?

You always get a rest day at slams unlike Masters.

Not like today besides Tsitsipas had the day off yesterday so today he was very fresh and not like the Madrid final when he was dead playng against Novak

Schwartzman will not be a floater. He is a top 32 ranked player, thus he will be seeded.

Djokovic looks shaky to me. He is being frustrated by Schwartzman, who is not going away.

More UFEs than winners. He's not all the way to top flight. Schwartzman won't win today, but he's giving Novak a lot to think about, and hopefully taking his legs out a bit before tomorrow.

Shortman leaving droppers all over the court. Novak not even moving for some of them

Oh @Fiero425 where you at man? Any comments on your boy needing a few hours to down a 5 year old kid?

I don't understand Novak. Chases down the break 2 times in the 2nd set only to loose in tb. The whole point of all that effort is to take a tb and go to masage.

He will be spent for tomorrow if he even goes through.

Amazing drop shots from the Schwartzman.

I think the Schwartzman wins this one. He is playing better and looks more confident.

That is so wrong on so many levels. Not everyone is blessed like the Greek freaks. :lulz2:

Diego is awesome. He will lose this one but the guy plays hard.

He definitely punches well above his weight.

Djokovic is asking for cheers from the public, and the public obliges.

 

[El Dude]

I think what we're seeing with the Holy Trinity is that they can no longer coast on their B games. More and more players are able to challenge them at that level. But it still seems that no one can beat their A games, so either they'll age out in a few years or someone is going to have to get to a higher level.

and height. jumps like half a meter so in reality is like a tall man hitting

 

[atttomole]

Djokovic looks tired.

He's so needy.
