Why is Rublev having a struggle with Hanfmann and is about to lose this match down 2-5 in the 3rd set?

 

[kskate2]

yep. Hair dude in trouble

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh well another top seed bites the dust Rublev out in 3 sets 67(5) 64 63 to Hanfmann

 

[Moxie]

maybe

Juan Manuel. He's younger.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Actually the Dangerous One Franciso has a wonderful FH, top shelf stuff, it was on display in his match against Sinner today

Another qualifier having the tournament of his life. Well done.

We shouldn't be surprised w/ 3 qualifiers in the 4th Rd.; 1 winning already & in the Quarters of Rome! Top players have to be on guard earlier!

I think he still has to play qualifers for Roland Garros with his ranking

Seeing I cannot pop a valium for this next match Zverev v Medvedev I will make myself a 'calming cup of herbal tea' instead

Meddy dumped again to grand stand, no centre court so far for him this year. He lost a spot to Haddad Maia.

I cannot believe that are having 2 ladies QFs on at the same time? Italian Madness! there are plenty of other show courts in Rome stadium

Maury, Maury, Maury...

[tossip]

yep. Hair dude in trouble

the real hair hot guy was Juan Monaco

 

[don_fabio]

DFs, UEs...Zverev has entered a room.

I’m looking at Medvedev’s winning percentage on clay. He has won less than 50% of them during his career, which isn’t a surprise, but does make it a little surprising he was able to make it to the No.1 ranking (albeit rather briefly — because he has lost so many matches on clay ):

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Gotta love the way Meddy tries to ' shh' the Italian crowd, good luck with that Meddy lol!
