Nitto ATP Finals 2023, Turin, Italy

[MargaretMcAleer]

I know doubles don't get a lot of attention at TF ( I am a huge doubles fan, still play doubles to this very day), I feel this needs to be posted
Rohan Bopnana today became the oldest player in tournament history to win at the ATP Finals, ( in singles and doubles). The 43 year old and Eden lost just one point on their serve and saved the 1 BP in their match winning 64 64
Rohan Bopanna beats the record of Daniel Nestor at 42 years old

Nick K joining in on the commentary, must say he looks good with a very trim beard, scrubs up well

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Meddy comes back from 1-4 in the 1st set TB, saves 2 set points and takes the first set 76(7)
This was their 5th TB between the pair,so far this year

Medvedev rather stole that first set in the TBer, and Zverev looking rather glum right now.

Zverev being a diabetic injected himself in one of the changeovers.

Rublev really needs to attend 'anger management courses'

Rublev needs to spend a summer on the West side of Chicago.. No way he could behave like he does and survive. He would get "disciplined" on hourly basis and would learn that noOne cares about his issues..The big haired dude behavior is like a young girl who has recently been introduced to mother nature monthly "visit".

How is it that tennis rewards players who drop out early - or are just plain dropouts - with handy television gigs?

Courier, Wilander, Annabelle Croft, Nick, Tarango, Bartoli, and I’m sure there’s others. Some of them were hopeless. Are we gonna have in 30 years Kokk & Nick in the centre court Wimbledon commentary box acting like two venerable old gents of the game?

Does anyone else find Rev and Dev tedious to watch?

Actually Nick is a good commentator, having played, the players that are currently at the ATP finals, I am not sure how he got the gig, he has made some good insights so far

They bring out the worst in each other, just my opinion

Does he speak English?

Yes he does lol!

May I suggest to Zverev go and practice your volleys' it was one of the shots in the 1st set TB that cost you dearly when you were ahead

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Medvedev d Zverev 76(5) 64
'Meddy has now beaten Zverev 5 out of the 6 times they're played this year!
Meddy has now qualified for the SFs at Turin

Medvedev is the first player into the semis? Or can he still come third in the group if Sasha and Carlos win their next matches?

I’m useless at these bloody permutations…

Truly unwatchable! As much as I need to appreciate the play of Medvedev, I feel like calling him "The Octopus" w/ those flailing limbs going everywhere! It's just not pretty to watch! Who's game is outside of Carlito's? These days most of the guys are just trying to tear the cover off the ball! Others like Rublev & Ruud just try to hang in there hoping for an UFE! You see where Ruud's going now that he's over his 2 year "heater!" Novak's game has had nuanced upgrades so I can watch him unless Rafa comes back to challenge him as Nadal "digs out" ball after ball!

Let me check

Meddy has qualified for the SFs,
Alcaraz will qualify by bearing Meddy on Friday, but can also lose if Rublev beats Zverev
Zverev will qualify by beating Rublev, but only if Meddy beats Alcaraz ( Rublev is not in contention)

BTW if that is incorrect someone can please rectify., thanks

I don’t think anyone has definitely qualified for the semis, based on the info on the ATP site and Wikipedia, but Medvedev is in a great position to win the group.

I think they're testing many different people! What happened to Opelka? I was listening to the end of Med/Sascha match & thought that was Kyrgios commentating! It won't matter! I give it 2 seasons & I'll probably be done watching the game!
