Mutua Madrid Open (Madrid Masters) 2026 - ATP Masters 1000

[the AntiPusher]

Yep I remembered that match against Rafa, FAA did play lights out, the trick with clay is to keep your UFE low,

plus avoid 2005-2022 Nadal at RG

Computer trouble again, finally back online,

21 yo Blockx d Ruud defending champion 64 64
Into a Masters 1000 SF for the first time
This week he got his first Top Ten win against Felix and has now beaten 3 Top 20 players in a row
Won 8 of his last 10 matches.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Zverev v Cobolli
Cobolli won the toss and will receive
Cobolli Forza!

Cobolli with DFs and hands Zverev the break early, the serve is an area Cobolli has to really address, at times it is just 'hit and miss'
A double break now for Zverev, Cobolli is as 'flat as a tack' apart from his serve his range of shots have gone AWOL, he is a much better player than he is showing now, Cobolli defeated Zverev last week in Munich
Unless Cobolli change things fast this match will be over in less than 1 hour
Zverev 1st set 61 more like a practice session for him
Cobolli competed better in the 2nd set, gee he had too after a poor showing in the 1st set, he had 2 BPs when Zverev was serving for the match at 5-4 but could not convert
Zverev d Cobolli 61 64

Zed is like that old boyfriend or girlfriend that you deal with until your dream person come into your life.. One thing I can say he does compete but he just has been unlucky!

I am not a fan of Zed or his tennis period, but I guess he does have some fans, somewhere

 

[El Dude]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Zverev tanks so he doesn't have to get beat down by Jannik again.

I wouldn't say all that homes. You ever heard of anybody single to nth degree. That would be me. I don't need no loafer hanging about blocking

 

[Murat B.]

Who the hell is Bollocks? Whatever, Block with an X. Has to say it every time he has to give his name.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nah it looks like Zed is on a mission won the 1st set 62, over Blockx. I am just SB this match btw
Zverev d Blockx 62 75, Zverev did have the trainer out, late in the 2nd set he has been complaining of a bad back in his last couple of matches

 

[kskate2]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Zverev tanks so he doesn't have to get beat down by Jannik again.

nah, no tanking for this dude. He'll take his whippings standing up
