Rolex Paris Masters, 2019, Bercy, France, ATP Masters 1000

Tennis players are coddled.

I like spirited crowds, let them scream at the top of their lungs during 1st and 2nd serves! Cowbells during rallies!

It is like it is. I don’t like it.
But how I wrote above, when you beat your opponent and his crowd, it’s double sweet. Novak did it a couple of times, and I loved it!

Stephen Curry would have laughed it off as he sank a 30 footer.... B-)

 

[Bonaca]

The Stanislaus is running around like a chicken, he has nothing to challenge the Bull.
This will be a well deserved straight set lost.

1st set Nadal 6-4

 

[Fiero425]

Yeah know what you mean. No sense for proper behaviour.
Look what the English did to Novak at the Wimby F. But this, in Novak’s case, makes the win triple sweet!!
What do you think about Novak’s next match?

I didn't see his match yet, but hope he's feeling better! He got on the ball sooner and "routined" Edmund off the court! Kyle's a shell of his former self and maybe's missing Murray's comradery; who knows? Nole's match can go either way depending on how he feels and how "up for the match" is Tsitsipas tomorrow! I think all things being equal, Nole should pull it out since he's got a lot less mileage on him this season! I think if it gets to be a lengthy affair, we can only hope his experience will carry him thru so he can possibly get back his #1 ranking at YE! Wawrinka's playing well enough against Nadal now, but he'll let this chance slide just like all the others; save '14 AO! He had a BP to get back on serve and missed the most casual of rolled forehands not meant to do anything! I just can't fathom the psyche of some guys who'll go up against Djokovic who's a human backboard and actually outlast him at crucial times in a 30 shot rally, but then turn into mental midgets against Rafa when it really counts! :whistle:

Totally agree . I was wondering so often how he plays Nadal or even Roger.

The way Stan's allowed Roger to own him bothers me to no end due to his mild success against Djokovic! This has little to nothing to do with match-ups; more in the mind and only someone certified may ever get to the bottom of it! What goes on in Stan's head with Nadal just can't be explained! He has the game to beat him, but he doesn't really come close! :whistle:

Absolutely , and while you are writing this , Nadal gets the crucial break in the 2nd

Great win by Rafa

Whoever yelled on break point should be thrown out, and not allowed to return.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

With Stan losing and La Monf needing to go through Ralph to reach the finals, Matteo is virtually assured of a spot in WTF.

You guys seem to have bet a lot of money on this match...

Never bet against the Goat. B-)

I don’t know where you got the idea of betting, but my comment only has to do with that fan’s behavior. You do know I’m a Rafa fan, right? It’s not as if I was rooting for Stan.

Congrats , I’m happy he won.
Hopefully Novak reach the final full healthy, same wish for Nadal. He called the doctor once in the second, you know what’s that about?
So we can enjoy another classic, seems it could be the only competitive match of the whole tournament. So far nothing superb happened .

The announcer said something about his stomach being upset, but I don’t know that for certain.

Nope.
Would never bet on the selfish ****, especially against Nadal.
To be honest, Nadal brought me more money than cost me, looking at sports betting!

With Stan’s loss, Monfils just needs SF to pass Berrettini

Albot today, then Shapovalov

Yeah that would fit, looked like an antacid Fluid he received.
