Leave Sis Moxie alone.. she is a healer of feelings.. she may not be built to fight a rough Aussie lady .. By the way I like Tall ladies.. How about if I get Sloan's Mom to wrestle with you .. I think she was an excellent swimmer in college..

I am nearly 6ft I am ready for the challenge, my brother is 6ft 5 he can come along for the ride LOL!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Now Sinner is about to get broken lol! this match is nuts

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

4 UFE from Sinner and he gets broken?

 

[Jelenafan]

Well that goes back to what Fed used to say. When you step on court at a slam, you have to be ready to play 7 5-set matches.

When did Federer ever win 7 5 set matches in a row?

Always thought Becker said it best:
Boris Becker — 'The fifth set is not about tennis, it's about nerves'

Good Grief y'all are gangster height! Doesn't look good for yo boi Sinner

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hurry up Altmier and put Sinner out of his misery

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jesus duece apparently no one wants to win this match

 

[Kieran]

Well that is what I have said all along with Sinner, he has to get more physically strong for starters

If he wasn’t physical strong enough for 3 setters in Rome then I think you were being uncharacteristically diplomatic in saying he was simply ‘physically struggling.’ That sounds more like an injury, in a best of 3, if a young pro can’t handle it. I can play two best of 3 set matches in the same day even now - though to be fair, they’ll prolly have to be against women..

Well I don't think Fed ever achieved that feat, he did say you have to be prepared for that many matches. I'll find his quote one day & repost. It was just mentioned in a thread not too long ago when we were discussing the difference between the men and the boys...

MP No 4 Altmier

 

[tossip]

He has to beef up in the offseason,he should came back from off season with Karastev calves.

My goodness, so many twists in this 5th set.

It's like Marathon runners train to run longer than 26 miles, because nervous energy on the day burns up a bit of zest...

He would have to go Mexico or something like that to get the Brazilian butt enhancement added to his calves, jajaja

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kieren

For the last time he was Not Carrying an Injury in Rome, if he did I would have said so okay, apparently you dont know Sinner a;ll that well I have followed him as a junior I know his strengths and I also know what has to be done to get his physical shape up, he has always been a thin athlete and was a junior ski champion, had to make up his mind ski or playing tennis.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik you were in no position to go up the line with that shot? brain fail

 

[kskate2]

that last point. OMG
