Tennis season 2020-2021

[mrhawk0808]

Zverev is going to break through when he is going to be able to serve under pressure. It keeps letting him down and down and down and down...

 

[Zaeballo]

Zverev won this very tournament two years ago beating Federer and Djokovic along the way. Not too shabby.

 

[mrhawk0808]

Yes... he shows moments of brillance. But it's not day in, day out, like the top, top guys.

Watch out for Rublev... this kid's good!
Nadal v Thiem is goin to be fun!

Agree....i like this kid.....perhaps not there yet BUT not far .

 

[gaby]

WOW....THIEM 7-6,7-6.....great match......i like both...but it's always fun to see young guard putting pressure on the old boys ....this tournament is far from over.....TSITSI -RUBLEV are coming.....another good one.

 

[gaby]

TSITSI in 3 sets....RUBLEV played well in second and lost en bris d'égalité in the third set.....was fun to watch.......the kid is on his way..

Tomorrow.....SCHWARTZMAN vs ZVEREV.......will go with ALEX......later DJOKO---MEDVEDEV....the game to watch

WOW....THIEM 7-6,7-6.....great match......i like both...but it's always fun to see young guard putting pressure on the old boys ....this tournament is far from over.....TSITSI -RUBLEV are coming.....another good one.

Indoor hardcourts are not Nadal's favorite surface, and are not good for his knees. But Thiem is playing the best tennis of his career since his stunning comeback US Open victory over Zverev.

 

[gaby]

Yep....agree.

 

[gaby]

Oh wow DANIIL was on fire 6-3, 6-3.....yes the young guard prend tranquillement sa place....when he is calm i like watching him...solid player......so as THIEM he will b in semis.
ZVEREV....often a slow starter did well in 3 sets...je pense vraiment que sa paternité a un effet positif dans sa vie et son jeu .

TOMORROW....THIEM---RUBLEV interesting mais THIEM est vraiment dans sa bulle..........afternoon NADAL--TSITSI....will go with RAFA.

 

[gaby]

Yes good for the kid RUBLEV he won in 2 sets.....congrats....évidemment THIEM déjà qualifié n''y a pas mis le paquet BUT credit to RUBLEV.
NADAL is NADAL...he won in 3 sets...will play THIEM Saturday in semi ...would bet on him .

 

[gaby]

Tomorrow.....DJOKO---ZVEREV....interesting.......later MEDVEDEV----SCHWARTZMAN.....pauvre SCHWARTZMAN ....at the end pf the day it should b DJOKO---MEDVEDEV in the other semi.

 

[Zaeballo]

NADAL is NADAL......will play THIEM Saturday in semi .

No, Nadal won't play Thiem in semi. That's not how it works.

it should b DJOKO---MEDVEDEV in the other semi.

Ditto.

 

[EagerBeaver]

NADAL is NADAL...he won in 3 sets...will play THIEM Saturday in semi ...would bet on him .

Nadal will play Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals on Saturday. Thiem will face the winner between Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev on Friday.

 

[gaby]

Oups.....you are absolutly correct......it's another ball game.....so that means great semis .....will we have the usual confrontation NADAL---DJOKO?.......or another exciting one like MEDVEDEV---THIEM?

 

[EagerBeaver]

I predict Medvedev-Joker final, only because this is not Nadal's best surface and I think Medvedev picks him off because the match will not be easy and Nadal's knees are aching from all the matches on these very hard courts.

 

[gaby]

WOW.....great semis tomorrow.....THIEM---DJOKO......later.....MEDVEDEV--NADAL......the best vs the best...we can't ask for more......hum.....even if not his best surface am going with RAFA all the way...such a fighter.....enjoy the best tennis of 2020 .

 

[gaby]

WOW...THIEM in 3 sets...près de 3hres de jeu....he was losing 4-0 in the t-b in the third and came back to win...wow....yes the match we were expecting from both.....et THIEM nous a démontré pourquoi il est maintenant un top player......more to come this afternoon...-
NADAL---MEDVEDEV.....go RAFA.

 

[gaby]

Another great match.....MEDVEDEV won in 3 sets.....just too good.....he was a better player.....
.....avec une belle cadence et un immense talent....he has the full package.....incredible player.....NADAL looks exhausted in the third...slow and on the defensive.....
So la logique est respectée and the 2 best players of the week will play each other tomorrow......la nouvelle génération est bien en place et aux commandes...bravo.
We should have another spectacular one tomorrow......i would bet on DANIIL........we are enjoying the best tennis of 2020 .

 

[EagerBeaver]

Gaby, who predicted correctly that Medvedev would pick Nadal off? This was an easy pick- he is younger than Nadal in an exhausting round robin type tournament format, he is fresher, his knees are not hurting like Nadal's are, and it is Nadal's least favorite surface.

 

[gaby]

Oups.....you are absolutly correct......it's another ball game.....so that means great semis .....will we have the usual confrontation NADAL---DJOKO?.......or another exciting one like MEDVEDEV---THIEM?

DANIIL was part of my scenarios.......lol ....enjoy.
