Roland Garros / French Open [Men] - Grand Slam

[Jelenafan]

Not ideal playing conditions but again welcome to outdoor clay court tennis in October.

Well the kid played his idol and lost 6-1, 6-1, 6-2.

Rafa’s FH was clicking , again a workmanlike performance but great tournament for Sebastian.

The young Austrian Sinner playing very good and smart tactic against giraffe. Will be hard match for fake German.
Easy next match for Bob.

SInner's walking like he belongs; a seasoned vet taking care of a top seed who's a major finalist, a winner of a few Masters, and a YEC!

 

[Jelenafan]

What heavy conditions?

This Italian kid Sinner is just Hitting the hell out of the ball. Powerful FH but I’m impressed how he’s been toe to toe on the BH with Zverev.

Hugs the baseline in the rallies while Zverev does his more passive tennis staying back , a little too defensive and reactive for someone with his weapons.

The German kid was lucky to play ill giraffe. Not variable enough and one-dimensional play.
I cannot see him winning more than 1 game per set against the Workman in QF.

In addition to his game, I've always been impressed by his poise and calm at his still-tender age. Great head.

I like Seb's game a lot. The scoreline looks bad, but it took 2 hours to play. The kid wasn't just mowed down.

 

[Bonaca]

Diego rolls, seems to be ready to give the Austrian peasant more than a test in next round.
Vamos LittleBigman

 

[Bonaca]

Jesus Christ, how lucky can this Austrian peasant be?
Gaston on the edge to win 3rd set, but thiema has the net on his side, twice.
Make him run and keep him as long as possible on court Hugo. Allez!

 

[Bonaca]

I am wondering how fresh the french kid looks like, as he just started to play. Physically in tremendous form!
Domina looks exhausted and sweating like a ****.

 

[Bonaca]

Yes Gaston wins 3rd set.
Come On extend it to at last 3 hours.

 

[Bonaca]

Arrogant austrian diva seems to be annoyed.
How can this kid dare to play better and take a set from Wien?

 

[Bonaca]

Diva really seems to ran out of gas? Is this really truth? Wow.
He tries to shorten the points, unusual.
Hoping for a Diego-Bob SF

 

[don_fabio]

Gaston on fire!!

Gaston on fire!!

And still people out there believing that Austria would have won US Open if had to play Novak or Nadal.

Everyone has a bad day at shop even Nadal and Djokovic. We will see if Thiem can turn this around.

 

[don_fabio]

Hugo fuckin' Gaston takes Thiem to 5th set. What a fairy tale!

 

[don_fabio]

This is hillarious, this kid is a dropshot machine. Soft lefty touch, can't miss a dropshot. Amazing.

 

[don_fabio]

Those Thiem legs gonna be sore from all these dropshots.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Goodness me Gaston is a drop shot machine lol!

 

[Bonaca]

Unbelievable how fresh this kid is and calm!
Tres bien!
