ATP ATP 2021

Alex De Minaur had some shocking form. Had lost 6-4, 4-6, 2-6(v Johnson), 2-6 2-6(loss to Basilashvili) and then proceeded to lose the first set to "journeyman" Krajinovic 0-6. Total of 4 sets played, 6 games won. He did Come back to win against Krajinovic in 3 sets though. (0-6, 6-4, 6-4)

Wonder if he got hit by Covid hard. Before Wimbledon, he was in decent form.

Yeah, Covid must of affected him, he seemed a bit slower watching that match yesterday. I would actually look at the positive that he actually won it though.

He might be stuck playing catchup for the rest of the year with his fitness which sucks.

doubly so.

Doesn't he have quarter-final points at the US to defend?

Yeah, had a good run and then got destroyed by Theim in the quarters.

His match with Monfils will be interesting tomorrow

Straight setted by Monfils.

 

[matt_897]

Straight setted by Monfils.

Was an okay performance actually, Monfils has a bit of confidence which can be a dangerous thing with his fast arm.

Alex actually hit a couple of huge groundies himself. He's getting there, hopefully gets a solid draw in New York and can work his way into it.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

So no Federer, Thiem and you'd say likely no Nadal for the US Open.

Zverev or Medvedev to win the US open. It's time.

 

[pepsi]

Sonego vs Tsitsipas was a great match to watch.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

So the SF of Cincy will see probably the 4 best under 25 players on tour do battle

The future.


It's great to see the young guys do well


Soon it will only be Novak remaining out of "the top 3" (Nadal and Federer will probably retire next year)

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Nice win for Rublev over Medvedev after dropping the 1st set.

 

[JackNah_8]

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Looks like Tsitsipas doing a Rublev and going to win the SF after losing the 1st set.

 

[JackNah_8]

Tie breaker.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Tie breaker.

Tsitsipas will kick himself if he loses, looked all over up a double break.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Sasha somehow pulls a rabbit out of the hat.

That was unexpected. Tsitsipas had a good lead but let it go.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Kyrgios withdrew minutes before his match v Andy Murray. Shame

Sasha dominates the final to win Cinci. Sasha and Medvedev have both won tournaments before the US. perfect lead up for both players. Now or never?

Not having a go at you for letting us know about the Murray match, but I genuinely do not care about Nick. I'm sure he'll turn up at the Laver Cup and give his all there with a hefty appearance fee in his back pocket.

That win over the Djokovic at the Olympics will be the making of Sasha. It has given him the belief. Still think he or Medvedev will win the US Open.

 

[JackNah_8]

I didnt know Kyrgios was scheduled to play, I thought he was still in Australia.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I thought Rublev would be more competitive in that final than he was, 2 and 3 really is a touch up.

 

[yaco55]

I didnt know Kyrgios was scheduled to play, I thought he was still in Australia.

Kyrgios travelled to Europe four days before Wimbledon.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Upcoming US open should be immense, Will Djokovic make it a season grand slam and no 21 ? Or will one of Medvedev, Tsitsipas or Zverev finally crack it for that maiden slam ?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Tough loss for the Kokk in the US Open qualies.

Tough loss for the Kokk in the US Open qualies.

That final set TB was a hard watch, you can tell he's just low in confidence right now, it sucks.
