Allez Simon ! those Chicken legs still have some miles in them

Great victory for him. I have a feeling Tsonga might have done the same if his body didn't give up.

It's fantastic to see what a home crowd can do to the retiring players, they just transform to who they once were.

@don_fabio
It is absolutely the saddest thing I've ever seen. Completely gut wrenching...

Yep, it made my eyes moist to see JowillieTs facing his tennis mortality! What a classy warrior Jo was in another era of so many players whom behavior is at the level of spoiled kindergartners.

Sebastian Baez is shortman's cousin from a same city just a few blocks away.

Sebastian Baez is shortman's cousin from a same city just a few blocks away.

And w/ the same results (David) against players who like to tower him.

 

[don_fabio]

This kid is all over the Zverev right now.

This kid is all over the Zverev right now.

Like a rash. heehee

 

[Jelenafan]

Is the Crown Prince injured, or is Zeverev simply playing another worst match in 6 or 7 years?

 

[kskate2]

He doesn't look injured to me, but I haven't been watching the whole thing. Just now they've put it on full screen. Baez is speedy like Carlito and getting to everything. Making Zed hit one more shot and he's missing alot

 

[kskate2]

So the question becomes if he gets down 2 sets can he mount a comeback like the Greek did last night?

 

[don_fabio]

Zverev is just in familiar teritory, wasting energy in slams on low ranked players. But the kid is good, dropped the level at 4:0, but held now and still with the break. He seems fitter than Musetti, I bet he can run for another few hours.

He's going to have to if he wants the V.

EDIT: Just now he breaks Zed for the 4-2 lead in the decider. Let's see if he can close.

Meanwhile Carlito drops the 2nd set and is down an early break in the 3rd to his veteran countryman

kid still alive and kicking, zverev a bit edgy.

 

[kskate2]

Sweet BHDTL from Zed to get back on serve. 4-3

 

[kskate2]

Baez cousin Shortman was down 2 sets, captures the 3rd against Munar. Botic grabs the first set off FFF

 

[kskate2]

missed volley from Zed. MP for the kid

 

[tented]

kid still alive and kicking, zverev a bit edgy.

He’s barely hanging on now. Just saved one MP.

 

[kskate2]

yep. Zed saves 5-5

 

[kskate2]

too many errors from the kid. 0-30 after having MP
