RG SF - Tsitsipas/Zverev

[don_fabio]

while Tsitsipas is acting like a colicky baby.

You want to say he has pain? Or just pain of being afraid of losing. Probably the latter one.

He has pain alright. It's all upstairs...

I know what is happening. These guys are working on transforming the winner of the match into a sacrifical goat for Ralph.

Yes, the latter.

I though Zverev had a shot in this match. He was very quiet clay season, and he has steadily worked his way in this where Tsitsipas had a red hot clay season, so expectations. Kudos to whoever pulls it out.

Yowsa, goes to a 5th set.
The good news: Stefano is a streaky player who can catch on fire In an instant.
The bad news: Stefano is a streaky player who can implode in an instant.

I‘m very curious how Sasha’s serve holds up in this decider. If it does I give him the edge.

BTW these boys are trying to give Rublev a run for his money for the title of the best hair of the ATP. The flocks are flowing....quite impressive.

A surprise here leaves less space for a surprise next match, so I have to root a bit for this greek guy, but to be honest and I already mentioned it I started to kind of have respect for a Zverev. If he only wore normal t-shirts that would be a big plus.

I give edge to Zverev here, he has learned from his mistakes. It's time to step up.

First couple of games will tell the tale. And already the Greek is down 0-30 on his serve.

He has already done the latter, so perhaps he can catch fire again.

Tits escapes going down an early break

 

[kskate2]

They say Morataglou is not in the stands for Tits today. Wonder why

 

[tented]

I’m torn: Zverev would be easier for Rafa to beat in the final, so on one hand I want him to win. At the same time, Zverev would be easier for Novak to beat as well, so if Rafa loses today, I would want Tsitsipas to be the finalist. The Greek would also give Rafa more trouble, but make a more interesting final.

Did he leave with Serena to go train for Wimbledon?

Logical. A 2:0 lead lost would be considered a big choke too. Might hunt him for a while.

I was hoping for a three setter so the final could be more competitive. Nadal will roll over the winner of this match.

No fifth set tiebreak here either. This could go on for a while.

 

[kskate2]

Don't know. Obviously he's contracted to be with Serena first and foremost, but seems like her training could wait until Mon if Tits makes the final. Unless she's decided to take a wildcard into a warm up we don't know about.

Trouble for Zed. BP

Tsitsipas up a break. Can Zverev pull it together?
