Day 12 is here

 

[Munich]

We're due for a good men's final. Last decent one was 2020 with Thiem.

Yep I was there.

Shattering for Thiem.

I did meet Safin though so all was not lost

 

[SC_Power]

Eh? They've been talking up his performance all night.

Picture if the reverse situation, you wouldn’t have known Zverev was even on the court, and certainly wouldnt be talking up this match as a 50 50 right now.

Anyway, that’s my bug bear, back to the tennis not my whinging

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

How can you play with a chain around your neck wouldnt be ficking in your face

 

[BloodRet]

Yeah im loving with the crowd, just the words are meaningless.

You wouldn’t know that Zverev had played 2.5 sets of sensational tennis against the world #2.

You can watch on Sportsbet with no commentary but still has all the other noise/atmosphere

Did you meet the entourage in his box

 

[Munich]

Did you meet the entourage in his box

I'm female so no, was only interested in seeing him. He's glorious.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Just can the drop shot mate you’ve tried it let’s say 25 times and lost every point

 

[Plugger35]

Crazy how often this happens in tennis. Finishing someone off after dominating the entire game is the hardest thing to do

Then the guy that dominates in the early sets runs out of petrol tickets and gets overrun, that's why 5 sets is so much better than 3 sets.

It's a true test of both skill and endurance.

He was hilarious off the court

Yep all matches second week (men and women) should be best of 5. It’s the true test.

Yeah I get that but Zverevs problem wasn’t fitness at 4-2 up in the third. Choked those last couple of games big time. Only needed to continue doing what he was doing in service games and he was home

Players are on to it now as well

Just on your point, it really pisses me off how they play a super tiebreaker at 6-6 in the 5th now. As you said, it is a test of endurance, and those marathons were absolutely crazy to watch

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Will this guys serve drop off already

 

[Drummond]

Cmon Zverev mate!!

 

[Some Idiot]

We're due for a good men's final. Last decent one was 2020 with Thiem.

Nadal reverse sweeping Medvedev was a pretty good match

 

[Plugger35]

Alcaraz fighting back from 0-40 to deuce.

A chance for him to break here.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Another attempted drop shot

 

[Munich]

Bad drop shot bad

 

[Munich]

Yessssss

 

[Plugger35]

Great lob and another bad drop shot.

Followed by a great winner on the next point, a real mixed bag from Carlos.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Probably another TB

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Had to work his arse off for that point

Keep making him run Carlos

 

[SC_Power]

Zverev finally believing that he can hit winners as well…
