Why isn't he the one hitting drop shots to move Djoker around?

Because he's a relatively mediocre tennis player without a great tennis brain I reckon.

Yeah.

There are coaches though, scream out drop shot, WTH, lol.

And apparently he's not good at it.

The asshole brothers win their matches in 5...pity.

Djoker gone now. Alcaraz/Sinner semi-final will be compelling watching.

Yeah, I saw earlier. Don't think he would have survived a better player in his condition.

Surprised he didn't play it out though.

 

[Anil]

Rybakina and Sabalenka out!

 

[Anil]

Zverev now the firm favorite...

 

[Niall]

Deeply unimpressed to see Paolini in a final, but heh Ryb/Saba blew another slam so fair play I suppose, hopefully she isn't massacred in the final.

Alcarez v Sinner is a box office semi final.

Have a feeling they will beat each other up and the winner won’t have much left against Zverev in the final…

Betting wise its pretty much 50/50 with Zverev and Ruud who is always good value on clay don't forget.

If Alcarez and Sinner want to be elite players whoever wins tomorrow can't be slipping up in the final against Ruud/Zverev.

Exactly.

They should be dominating slams going forward tbh.

Think Carlos has a little something to prove tomorrow

 

[kyear2]

Not the match I was expecting or hoping for

It's looking a bit grim so far.

 

[Anil]

A rout, well done Iga!

 

[Anil]

Carlitos! He is such a fantastic all-court player!

The consistency and quality of match isn't quite there, but we'll done to him.

I'm not a coach but questionable tactics all through, think he stands too far back on the return, the moon balls will cost him vs better competition, but think he's otherwise ****ing amazing.

I eagerly anticipate the Alcaraz v Sinner rivalry for the next decade.

He has all the shots in the book and then some, the creativity is off the charts...and he's still just a kid.
