Credit to Coric for being a cool customer and staying the course. Tsitsipas beat himself, for the most part, but some bad luck also happened.

Idemo Borna!! He might be a boring guy to watch, but his resilience and fighting spirit is amazing. I knew he could step up here and trouble the greek, because he seems to enjoy being an underdog. Well done.

Tsitsipas will never be a champion with a backhand like that. I just watched last 20 mins of the match. His bachand side was completely exposed and Borna just kept playing to that side.

Tsitsipas had six match points on his own serve in the 4th set and he had a 40-15 lead on his own serve, up a break in the 5th set. Brutal loss for Tsitsipas.

The biggest winner other than Coric in this match is Zverev. He has a REAL shot to reach his second consecutive slam SF. He has to take business first on Sunday.

I don't see why you say Borna is boring. We've always liked him around here.

You have to put more together than just talent, he has to ask Nadal.
By the way Greek is no century talent like Novak or Roger for example.

Not saying people don't like him here, but noticed on other places that people call him talentless pusher and very boring to watch.

Just for a second i thought you wrote Giraffe hast a shot to his first slam F, but you rightly wrote SF :):good:. No more than that.

Stefanos said,

'This is probably the saddest and funniest at the same time thing that has ever happened in my career'

I would like him to define funniest?

Did anyone watch the Novak match? Good level from him, or c game like in previous matches?

I don’t read a single line about his win. :face-with-tears-of-joy:

just from a poor idiot who hoped Struff could trouble him.

What is it you don't like about Tsitsipas? Arrogant? Maybe petulant? You could say that about your own man, except that you just like him. Not once-in-a-century players? Well, who is? I suspect you guys don't like Stefanos and Zverev because they're tall and good looking. You're projecting arrogance onto them. It seems like more bile than they ought to inspire. (Small penis syndrome, if you ask me.)

Struff fought hard and played even better than he'd played against him last week. Problem for Struff was, so did Novak.

Same reason as for missy thiem, arrogance behaviour cowards too feminine.
Bullshit Russian and than running away, very masculine.
Sorry moxie but you have no psychology skills, your conclusion is bitter and laughable , Nadalfan-like!
