Thiem vs young Ben....who ya got ...oops..I forgot I'm the ONLY believer in the Dominantor around here jajaja

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I think you're higher on Poo's ability to coach Stefanos than I am ..

No I think we are both on the same page quite frankly, though I do think it was time he got rid of Papa

Papa most likely annoyed you but I felt Stefano's game was better than his time with Poo

Please Papa didnt improve Stefs BH or BH slice to begin with? glaring faults in his game and opponents just target his bh with success

 

[tented]

Tell ya what, he ain't gonna be pleasant to be around even for Miss Paula B

Something tells me he’s never pleasant to be around …

 

[nehmeth]

Nehmeth, I was thinking the same thing.. Maybe Poo can help with his off the court lifestyle

And that’s about it.

To me personally, Tsitsipas has never been the same since that 2021 RG Final loss. Yes, his backhand and return of serve have not improved at all, however, watching him in his matches, he lost that mental "edge" ever since the 2021 RG Final match. Before that match, he was actually competing well. After the match, it seems that he losing close matches to anyone in the draw.

And that’s about it.

Mark P was a womanizer, love fast cars and women and a lazy trainer, indeed he is ideal for Stef off the court LOL!

Oh, but he says he’s going to win multiple majors. I think that explains the hair …

Seriously, though, I think you’re spot on. He (and Medvedev and Zverev) were all affected by those GS losses. I can only imagine the nightmares, knowing I was 2-0 up, and had three chances to win just one more set — and completely blew it.

Ever since that 2021 RG Final, Tsitsipas has won 1 major title (2022 Monte Carlo) and has reached one big final (2023 AO), that's it. Like he is not even doing well in other big tournaments either. That's why I feel like that one match (2021 RG Final) changed him in a negative way.

That’s really unimpressive, isn’t it? It’s been over 2 years, and he’s only achieved that much? And now Alcaraz is flying past him.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am impressed how Dom has returned Ben's serve so far in this match, Ben serving big bombs, though I would like Ben down the track to get another coach than his dad, he shows impatience at times in his service games, which leads to silly ufe errors, great running fhand from Ben!

100% Unimpressive for sure. At least with Zverev, he won another ATP Final trophy, won multiple M1000 tournaments and has been consistent in most big tournaments.

He's turning into the Dimitrov of his generation.

Thiem is having the nerves and said he doesn't feel good..So he tapped out...WT heck

 

[kskate2]

Novak back @ #1.... no comment?

How about this isn't the thread for rankings. There's a whole other thread dedicated to it.

Looks like there is some flu circulating around. I am curious for Thiem's explanation if there was something else. Some say he struggled to breathe and maybe it was an anxiety attack? Eubanks felt ill today and sadly lost to Bonzi. Jabeur was battling illness yesterday, but she managed to win.

Paul is looking as though he‘s heading home soon, if he doesn‘t turn things around against Safiullin. Lost the first set and down a break here in the 2nd.
