Nitto ATP Finals 2022, Turin, Italy

[Moxie]

That’s just how the like it in france. Bashing a ball into the crowd is called foreplay over there…

Careful...it happened at Wimbledon, and Stef should have been defaulted.

Didn't see this coming, tought 3rd set will be much tighter, even gave edge to the greek. He is joke of a player.

Some chick on the WTA did it too in the same tourney and they didn't give her one either. They seem to be really lax at Paris this year.

Y'all too hard on the Young Greek

2 MPs!

EDIT: He did it! Well done.

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

It used to be that way with me when watching Nadal go down in flames! The thrill is gone as he looks so bad outside early Majors & Masters! He stunk it up when he was a kid playing late season events! Thinking he'd do better at his age and mindset w/ a new babe, it was literally insane to believe anything but what actually happened! He probably should have been shutout, but that's how it is with players today! They sometimes simply can't close! No lead is safe when playing against Nadovic! How many times have they come back from MP's? Novak's made his career off saving matches against the best! I wonder what fine hits Stefanos? I have to believe TCC making such a fuss, the ATP will have to discipline him in some way!

Amen....

Rublev did it. Wouldn't want to be out to dinner with the Tsitsipas family tonight.

 

[the AntiPusher]

That's a darn shame. Novak is going to win this thing with his left hand.

 

[Moxie]

Y'all too hard on the Young Greek

He deserves every bit of derision today. He played a perfect first set, and he fell apart at the last. With a cheap shot at his own father in the middle.

Honestly, I can’t think of anyone who screams “spoiled brat!” as much as Stefanos.

You are becoming the GOAT of the Rafa Haters! jajajaj

So we have Fritz, Ruud and Rublev in semis. I tought none of them would make it past the group stage.

 

[Moxie]

I can lol!

Yeah, there's a list. In fact, it has it's own thread!

 

[Kieran]

Give the cup to Novak now, he’s bound to be tired, no point in making him wait…

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

So Ruud vs. Rublev and Fritz vs. Djokovic

If Ruud botches this opportunity to show better of himself in the final stretch than he has this year…may he get a Spaniard on his side of the draw at every slam next year.

Agree, it has been a surprising tournament to say the least, disappointing that some of the players have not brought their best.

What is it with Stefano's game . The young Greek has not been the same since he let Novak run him down at RG a few years ago..

Thats right

Yep and quite frankly he has got worse this year, where I play tennis, at club level, we have players that are more mentally intune with their games than he is at present.
