Cincinnati 2018

[Robertinho]

Akurat wygrana Dziada, to niemal gwarancja, że nie wygra USO, więc możesz modlić się z czystym sumieniem.

Posądzasz mnie o taki makiawelizm? Słusznie

Sam taktycznie kibicuje Djoko, żeby złapał pewność siebie, więc rozumiem.

[Federasta20]

Ale brakującego Cincy nie można oddać. Wróg naszego wroga nie jest naszym stałym sojusznikiem, zwłaszcza gdy go umocnimy i się na nas rzuci, a Dziadziuś może coraz mniej

Rublev właśnie wyjaśniany przez Samuraja.

[Lucas]

Tryb "pierdoła" włącza się Nishikoriemu nawet w meczu z rekonwalescentem Rublevem. Miał 4-1 i brejk pointy Japończyk, teraz ledwo prowadzi 5:3*, sam musiał bronić się przed drugą stratą podania.

[lake]

Jak było 30-28 i 12-14 to ten Golden Masters robił wrażenie, teraz mam jakoś bardziej wywalone.

[Lucas]

Rafa raczej już tego osiągnięcia nie zdobędzie, wiec zostaje nam tylko złorzeczenie i blokowanie innych w stylu psa ogrodnika

Serwuje i wyserwować nie może Kei.

No i przegrał gema, co za dziad zdziadziały

[Federasta20]

No Fedowi wygrana w Monte Carlo czy Rzymie nie grozi. Już większe szanse daję Murrayowi na uzupełnienie braków.

Edit: Kuriozalny ten mecz.

[lake]

Na pocieszenie Murole Hamburga w wersji 1000 w przeciwieństwie do Fedala już nie przytulą.

[Lucas]

Edit: Kuriozalny ten mecz.

Kuriozalny i słaby. Nie wiem, który z Panów gra gorzej. Obaj sypią niewymuszonymi, Kei prawie nie szuka kątów, a Rublev jak atakuje, to tylko crossem z fh. Mocno przewidywalnie gra.

[Federasta20]

Na pocieszenie Murole Hamburga w wersji 1000 w przeciwieństwie do Fedala już nie przytulą.

No tak, choć ja liczę obecny Madryt = stary Hamburg i obecny Szanghaj = stary Madryt.

Tak swoją drogą ten pierwszy skalp był najbardziej znośnym ceglanym Mastersem i w Hamburgu i w Madrycie Nikt tam nie wygrywał po tysiąc razy, tylko były wyrównane rozgrywki. I Rafa nie ma M1000 na niebieskim clayu

Djokovic, Murray, Wawrinka Headline Monday's Play In Cincinnati

Spoiler:

Isner also features on day two at the Lindner Family Tennis Center

• Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka take to the Cincinnati courts for their first-round matches at the Western & Southern Open on Monday. Of the three, former World No. 1 Djokovic is nearest to returning to his peak position after elbow surgery, having ended a career-long 54-week title drought by winning Wimbledon in July for his 13th Grand Slam title. Djokovic meets Steve Johnson, the third-highest-ranked American, for the first time on Tour on Monday.

• Murray and Wawrinka each received wild cards for the Cincinnati main draw, as they both continue to rebound from recent hip and knee surgeries, respectively. Murray electrified the Washington crowd two weeks ago with a trio of tough three-set wins to reach his first quarter-final of the year; the former World No. 1 will try for a fifth win in five meetings against No. 16 seed Lucas Pouille to see if he can make another run. Former World No. 3 Wawrinka also faces a seeded player, No. 12 seed Diego Schwartzman, the highest-ranked player to stand 5-foot-7 or shorter since 1981.

• Two of the top American hopes will face off in the first round on Monday as well, when American No. 1 John Isner meets Sam Querrey. It will be the second time in four years that No. 9 seed Isner and Querrey, who have won two doubles titles together, meet in the opening round at Cincinnati. In their 2015 meeting, Querrey claimed the win. Querrey has a 4-2 lead in their head-to-head record.

Ale ohydną fryzure ma Gasquet, chyba jakieś nieformalne zawody z Fogninim prowadzi.

[Rroggerr]

Ten Golden Masters to dużo większe osiągnięcie niż jakieś złota olimpijskie, więc nie ma co przesadzać z tym Cincy dla Djoko.

Znowu fajna drabinka przed Tiafoe/El Shapo.

Na pocieszenie Murole Hamburga w wersji 1000 w przeciwieństwie do Fedala już nie przytulą.

No tak, choć ja liczę obecny Madryt = stary Hamburg i obecny Szanghaj = stary Madryt.

Tak swoją drogą ten pierwszy skalp był najbardziej znośnym ceglanym Mastersem i w Hamburgu i w Madrycie Nikt tam nie wygrywał po tysiąc razy, tylko były wyrównane rozgrywki. I Rafa nie ma M1000 na niebieskim clayu

I już nie będzie miał, Roger na zawsze pozostanie Królem Niebieskiej Mączki Mała różnica to że stary Madryt był w hali a Szanghaj nie.

No nie zachwycli Panowie na Grandstandzie. Pełne statystyki:

Spoiler:

Blondsquet w pierwszym secie chyba tylko o tych włosach myślał. Decider rozstrzygnie losy meczu.

Igrzyska tez mają swój prestiż i trudność. Na całą karierę masz 3 szanse max. Nie żebym nie cenił golden masters, ale okazji jednak więcej. Hipotetycznie możnaby takiego złożyć wygrywając po 1 na rok. Problemem jest tu przeważnie jeden turniej, który kandydatowi wybitnie nie pasuje albo się nie układa.

[Rroggerr]

Igrzyska są fajne, ale to mocno loteryjna impreza, Golden Masters wręcz przeciwnie, to coś co można na poważnie podnosić w tych wszystkich GOAT-dyskusjach jeśli różnica WS będzie minimalna, bo to jednak absurdalne osiągnięcie.

[no-handed backhand]

Pouille ugrał już siedem gemów w meczu z Murrayem, niesamowite.

[Kiefer]

Andrzej dawaj, nie lubię jak takie patałachy jak Pouille nabijają sobie wygrane z wielkimi tenisistami kiedy ci grają na 30% możliwości po długiej przerwie spowodowanej kontuzją. Trzeba było zwyciężać gdy Szkot był w optymalnej formie, a nie ugrywać wówczas po dwa czy trzy gemy.

[Damian]

Decider u Murka.

Jeszcze wygra to Szkocisko, spokojnie.
Skąd w ogóle ta muzyczka, spoza kortu?

Shapovalov.
