Rogers Cup 2021, Toronto, Canada - ATP Masters 1000

My replay quit after the 2nd set. I'm unimpressed that Stefanos couldn't pull that off unless someone is going to tell me that Opelka was amazing.

The Young Greek is his own worst enemy,in the that match,maybe if he watches the replay he might learn a lesson from it

The Young Greek is his own worst enemy in that match. Maybe if he watches the replay, he might learn a lesson from it.

In tennis or any other sport, the worst enemy of an athlete is ALWAYS themselves! It's always been the case! If you reach an elite level where you're in the top 100, you're obviously the best in that sport, but it's performing in the clutch that makes them GOATs & BOATs! I gave an example a while back about basketball players who in practice might not miss a shot, but in a game, it's not unusual for a whole team to go cold and miss everything, including free throws for 5+ minutes! In tennis we see a good drubbing ever so often, even if both players are playing well; 2019 AO Final the best example of it! Right now most athletes' problems have to do with expectations! We weigh kids down with it all the time! It's gone all the way to high school basketball and football where I see some overachiever making the hightlight reel on ESPN! It worked out for LeBron James, but many are crippled emotionally early on and are never heard from again! I think Stefanos will make it, but the DAD has to pull back! You don't want this kind of reputation!

I know the worst enemy is always the athlete,point being I was making it was soo obvious in the match.The Young Greek needs to Cut The Apron Strings of His Dad and get a proper coach ASAP....even my commentators on the match said it was well known that Dad coaches from his seat.The Young Greek can work out his problems on court himself he is not 'stupid' he is very articulate in his press conferences,though the way he acted today it was like a spoilt young brat!!!!

He's playing some fantastic tennis atm. I think he should skip Cincy and focus on the Open.
