Roland Garros / French Open [Men] - Grand Slam

[Michael;Kiwi]

Even though he didn’t win Medvedev came from two sets and a break down to get to a fifth against Nadal in the US Open final. Still in with a chance here I think.

Med breaking first in the 3rd set with a good drop shot

I am not surprised he didn't go away. Credit to him, he is still alive.

The slower conditions at night are killing him.

The slower conditions at night are killing him.

Only 4 aces. Against Garin much more.

Yep that was my main concern

 

[kskate2]

what was that? awful game from Med

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Back on serve
That previous love service hold from the Greek set up the break

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Credit to the Young Greek,he had a slip in his focus early in the 3rd set,re-focused broke back he has been the better player in this match.I picked him to win on clay against Med.

Only 4 aces. Against Garin much more.

Not just the aces but the overall court speed is WAY slower at night and his ground strokes are like Bambi goes hunting they're so timid compared to the day matches. He has no chance here and these night matches are complete bs imo. Clay at this hour ? Same with Federer's last match. The speed of the court at this hour is a joke. Beyond ridiculous. Day time match and score would be reversed imo.

I know, I was pissed off when I saw the schedule

 

[don_fabio]

Med so good verbally in beef with the umpire

Med holding up play,speaking to the umpire

 

[don_fabio]

Med's dropshot gone awol

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Med's dropshot gone awol

He is over doing it

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good service game from the Greek,after the distraction from Med his talking to the Umpire.

Come now! The conditions don't favor your fave, yet its the same for both players.

AO and USO have night matches, closed roof versus open roof, and of course it changes the dynamics. W used to be crazy with sunny days versus rain delayed slick grass days. Now this is Just a new twist on the FO.

But i feel your pain, keeping the roof closed in the 2018 W SF cost Rafa,
but im not bitter.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Young Greek is 2 points for the win

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great play from The Young Greek coming forward with a great volley

 

[tented]

Tsitsipas did it! Congrats.

But what was that underhand serve about MP down? Crazy …

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yesssssssssssssss The Young Greek makes the s.final

Well deserved you were the better player all match
