RG Tuesday action#ed_op#div#ed_cl#Zverev in trouble...#ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Obvious injury at the back of his leg.... not going to end this match imo....#ed_op#br#ed_cl# #ed_op#/div#ed_cl# "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Keys escaped in the first set... Putintseva served for the set at 5-4... actually, when she was leading 3-5 and 0-15 on the Keys serve, the body language of Madison looked so bad.. expected Yulia to break her again. Keys kept on fighting and took it in the TB. An OK-match... Ptintseva leading 3-2 in the second (but watching ATP now) "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Zverev had a MTO, and his left upper leg is packed.... pointless vs Thiem on clay. Nothing to gain here, only risking to make it worse. "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Thiem so fast on clay.... 6-4 5-1.... you can see Zverev considering to retire from this match.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Thiem is imo the only one who can stop Nadal... should have picked him in my Skan: he won already twice vs Rafa on clay....

6-4 6-2 6-1 Thiem...#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#But that could have been finsished 10 minutes earlier.... Thiem started to play to the middle all the time; Zverev did not have to move at all... which is a stupid thing to do if you have an opponent with a leg injury. Thiem was just counting on Zverev making errors, becoming way too passive. Zverev took initiative inn most rallies, and showed a lot. If he had not been injured, he coudl have won this one for sure. He even got BP on Thiems' serve in the end.#ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#OK; now waiting for my main match of the day: Stephens vs Kasatkina.#ed_op#br#ed_cl# #ed_op#/div#ed_cl# "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it"
While waiting for the ladies the other day, I watched Cecchinato and ... this guy is good. I went immediately to my PDGame and changed my prediction for him against Djokovic. I don't think Djokovic can beat this guy. I am not surprised to see the current score. This guy should take out Djokovic in 3 straight sets. He is good. I don't know how old he is and how long he has been in the Main Draws. Is he a headcase who runs out of energy quickly like the talented Benoit Paire? That would be the only thing that defeats him here. If Djokovic loses after Alex Z., my Skan adventure is over. |
