The real Tennis thread.

[Rollthedice]

Now it's up to Berrettini to put the arrogant young Spaniard to his place.

 

[Red Rick]

Do you guys ever hear a man grunt and then wonder if Carlos Alcaraz just hit a ball 5 seconds ago?

 

[Rollthedice]

Rubliov looks lively, mind you first game...

 

[Rollthedice]

I'm watching on Eurosport player with English commentary, does anybody know who are the guys talking? One sounds American.

 

[Rollthedice]

Djoko is on it today.

 

[Rollthedice]

And the red haired Russian has the first set. Gonna be a long evening for the Goat.

 

[Rollthedice]

It's amazing how these guys step up when it counts. Good game, not that I'm a specialist...

I'm not a specialist either, it's been a few decades since I've picked up a tennis racket. But I appreciate your updates, all the big matches during the week are on a channel I'm not willing to pay extra for here in the States. So, thank you!

Ok, let the updates roll. Second set 6-1 Djokovic. Rublev is getting his act together in the third.

 

[Rollthedice]

Third set Djokovic 6-4. It's 2-1 now.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Third set Djokovic 6-4. It's 2-1 now.

Along with reading your updates I'm watching a live scoreboard, I think Djoko should have this wrapped up in the 4th. We shall see.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Like the man. First time I saw him, guts, attacks like Nibali even if he doesn't have the legs. A breath of fresh air among all these accountants...

I meant to comment earlier that not only is he fun to watch, but he also appears to possess a lot of self-awareness and mental maturity.

Hopefully there will be more rounds for him wherever he plays in the future!

 

[Rollthedice]

Eubanks is in action. Medvedev has the upper hand right now.

 

[Rollthedice]

Eubanks is on fire! I love it.

 

[Red Rick]

Lol. It was 6-4 Medvedev with dominant stats, then I go on a bus ride, don't check the score, I come back and Eubanks leads 2 sets to 1.

Nice surprise.

Eubanks is entertaining, no doubt. He saves balls which clearly go out just to return them in the net.

 

[Rollthedice]

So it's 2-2. Let's see what is Eubanks made of.

 

[Rollthedice]

Medvedev is quite an average player but Eubanks is just an outsider with some great plays and dreadful ones. It will soon be over.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Ah well, it was nice while it lasted, Eubanks!

 

[Red Rick]

Alcaraz with the completely routine win over Rune. Honestly expected that cause Rune's better backhand can't possibly make up for the fact that Alcaraz dominates everywhere else.

 

[Rollthedice]

So, so predictable. Kind of expecting the same predictable Alcaraz win. And then Djokovic winning it all.

 

[Red Rick]

Medvedev returning from Scotland just shows he's a technically limited player unable to change his game.

You mean he is returning the balls from Scotland?

 

[Rollthedice]

Hopefully an interesting final after some dreadful semis.
