The Tennis Thread

Zverev is like the women gets so far and the shits himself.

Zverev having a meltdown.

Zverev overcomes his conniption at the umpire at takes the third set.

Hopefully Tsitsipas wins this because Zverev is more likely to crumble into jibbering wreck in the final. At leas Tsitsipas would put up some sort of fight if he gets to the final.

Tsitsipas is a live threat in the final.

You just couldn’t rely on Zverev though, he has all the tools to win a slam - for me he is the most physically enduring player on tour - how many five setters does he play at slams and he never gets injured. He just doesn’t have the nerve to cope with the big moments though. Going two sets down has probably allowed him to play with a bit of freedom though.

Tsitsipas is losing it as well now.

Am surprised that this could got to 5 sets. Thought Zverev was gone

Level pegging.

He has regrouped very well.

If he gets his serve going he can be impossible to break but his second serve is a huge weakness. If you look at the speed clock when he’s serving, his second serve regularly drops off about 70 kmph from his first.

Still think he is flaky. Before the match they were talking about the amount of times he faults on his first serve on game point. Still think he will crumble in the final

Tsitsipas badly rattled.

If Zverev keeps on serving like he has then he will win this.

Tsitsipas shitting his pants now. Fuck sake like the womens matches now.

That was some hold from Tsitsipas from 0-40 down.

Here comes the Zverev bottle job.

Double fault there

Break point Tsitsipas.

That should be that.

Tsitsipas just needs to keep his nerve now and hold serve and he is through.

2 match points.

Another 2 match points, on his serve this time.

Tsitsipas qualifies for his first ever grand slam final.
