Nitto ATP Finals 2023, Turin, Italy

I guess this dispels any notion of Sinner "tanking" or coming out a bit flat.

Holger's game is flat and he most definitely go into problem solving mode for the 2nd set.

 

[the AntiPusher]

He wont do that okay, he has a day off tomorrow, he has come to win, for the 1st time against Rune.

Okay be careful of what you're asking for. The serial restroom bottle sipper is lurking.

He can deal with that, didnt you see his win againt Novak the other day, anyway 1 match at a time
Sinner 62 in 32 mins Forza!
If these youngsters want the silverware they have to beat the best players like Novak,

Oh please I have just come off night shift , I am on my 3 expresso, you tell me okay......noone lol!

Sinner should save himself for the weekend and send the old goat back to Serbia or Monte Carlo.

Shhh...don't say "GOAT."

Nick isn't too bad with his commentary

See I told you he also speaks English well lol!

 

[the AntiPusher]

Sinner is on fire.

If I get one more angry response from THIS board..I'm gonna open my door in my boxers when the Jehovah witness church followers come by to sell me the watchtower subscriptions.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Holger's game may pick up because he knows he can defeat Sinner but it's not the same guy he faced previously.

See I told you he also speaks English well lol!

He sounds very well medicated. I like when Nick explained the difference between the "platform service stance and the step up to other foot stance. Very excellent analysis. I have NEVER heard anything like that from Pat McEnroe or the two Marys.

I'm hoping Rafa is reading this and will get inspired..

Remember Nick has played most of these players in Turin, so he knows their games etc, though he did pick Zverev to win against Meddy yesterday

Holger's knee is flared up. That sucks. It's a wrap now for Sinner and Novak's hopes.

Holger staying healthy, especially at the slams, is going to be the biggest wild card in the ATP for the rest of this decade. Holger certainly has the talent to win tournaments and even slams. He just has to stay healthy.

Rune hasnt been 100% in this tournament, he needs off season to heal some of these injuries and needs a good conditioning trainer,he usually has a trainer out in his matches.
I wonder if he will continue with Becker for 2024, I mean they havent had much time together
BTW it is still on serve in the 2nd set, so dont write him off just yet

 

[the AntiPusher]

Holger good grief. You don't approach a drop shot from the backhand side with one hand. That's lazy and lame. Quit taking points off. This guy is too good

Becker should stay around for a while. He needs a paycheck

That is also where he needed to focus with his shot, not a lazy one

Regardless of the pay check, I want to see what he can do for Holgers game

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

When was the last time Holger Rune was 100% for any tournament?
