Nitto ATP Finals 2022, Turin, Italy

Nice racquet throw spin catch

This is so much more interesting a watch over Djok v Med.

Both matches fascinating in their own way, but this is a fire cracker in dynamics already!

I dont think the Hair Dude, with his golden chains around his neck can do a lot of damage against the Young Greek, though it would not surprise me if The Young Greek explodes in a t/break if there is one.
Maybe The Hair Dude can channel this is a ATP500 match

Mr. HD with a break!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That was not going to script HD.....

 

[Tennis_Steve]

Level has dropped off a bit.
Can Rubels close out the 2nd set.
His rather monosyllabic game needs to function perfectly to pull it off.

 

[Moxie]

Rublev's got nerve, I'll say that.

 

[Moxie]

All even!

 

[tented]

All even!

OK, so that did really happen. I thought I was hallucinating.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Honestly wake up Young Greek....

Quite frankly this year ATP finals have been disappointing...I understand it is nearing the end of year for these players, some of othem are not 'bringing their best'.....

 

[Tennis_Steve]

Going the distance.
You are only as good as your 2nd serve

 

[don_fabio]

Rublev's got nerve, I'll say that.

Yes, though a bit one dimmensional, he is a fun to watch when he poses a challenge to someone higher ranked, specially the young greek. Their matches are usually good.

 

[Tennis_Steve]

I liked the view of young Greek sitting up on high on the big screens, as if he was up in the clouds above Mount Olympus

 

[Moxie]

They said Stefanos just hit a ball AT his dad.

 

[Moxie]

Stef's head fell off and Rublev gets the early break.

It's the hair for sure giving him that...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Stef's head fell off and Rublev gets the early break.

How many times have we seen The Young Greek go off into fairy land'

They said Stefanos just hit a ball AT his dad.

Camera only showed how he did it and the ball came back. I think he fired the ball at him and then hit the Nitto signs and the ball came back. But the message was clear.

Anyways, he is now down the break in 3rd and Rublev is all fired up.

 

[tented]

Is it wrong that I get so much enjoyment from watching Stefanos go sideways?

He should have got a penalty?
