Another regulation straight sets win this morning over Sebastian Korda, only dropping 4 games. I didn't think he looked that good today! I thought he was a bit sluggish and was lucky that Korda was little better than club standard for the first two sets. He's obviously still a huge force, but I thought there were enough chinks in his armour to give the likes of Thiem & Nole hope. Yours, I'd have had him. aDONis Edited October 4, 2020 by aDONisSheep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 That is a shock of shocks. Much though I'm desperate for Serena to win another GS, I thought Halep was a shoe-in for the French. I genuinely thought she was the class act and only injury or Covid could stop her. Yours, gasted of flabber! aDONis I think Svitolina will win it, never fancied Halep for this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aDONisSheep Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 My favourite chiel is well and truly oot! Two back to back bruising 5 setters just too much. That shouldn't take away from what Schwartzman did. He was magnificent and a worthy winner. Now I'm supporting anyone but the big two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acastus Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Tsitsipas saving match point against the serve vs Djokovic to take it to a 4th set. Some boy. Some brilliant tennis to stay in the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanton Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 At least Jocky Vietch isn't going to be bageled , but this final looks like it's only going one way . He's with this so often they should just give Rafa the trophy at the beginning of the tournament 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Of the big three i always thought it was going to be between Djokovic and Fed for who’d end up with the most slams. Assumed Nadal’s knees would have given out years ago.Guess not. He’s an absolute machine and that’s another masterclass today. He now looks the favourite to end this three way battle for the best of all time on top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Nadal played with Novak today. Commentators said before hand that the conditions would favour Novak, it wouldn't Nadal. Nadal is perfect for clay Court tennis. Generates more spin than anyone else, uses his backhand to push a player back before opening up the court for a forehand winner. With being a leftie, it pits Djokovic best stroke against Nadal's. On clay he loses out. Nadal paid back Novak for the lesson in the Australian Open in 2019. These guys may well be at the twilight of their careers but its still too good for the young gen. Nadal a cert to gain more slams than Federer now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
