Re: Tennis League All Thread

Hmm.... I've just seen the match between Nole and Sinner. Ended fairly routine for Novak but it was a battle at times. However, Nole was solid in his 1st clay match this season (kept the opponent deep behind the baseline, also did the damage with drop shots). Sinner is already a strong player but maybe not on his favorite surface today (was too nervy ......probably wanted to display his A-game versus world number 1). we can say he burned with desire.

I just checked the scores, 6-4 6-2 so it is a dominating win by Djokovic.

I agree that most of the times, this young players are nervous just to see Djokovic in the others side, so there's this so called intimidation factor. Probably Sinner is more suited for fast surface, but there are a lot of players that is also good.

Nadal against Delbonis, Rafa leading the game. Hurkacz lost the first set again Evans, this is going to be an interesting match to watch if Hurkacz can come back and win the match.

True, but Djokovic is playing outstandingly well. I think he will gain the lead in Grand Slam wins very soon. Will be interesting to see him face Nadal this tourney. I just saw Federer delayed his comeback. Anyone knows when he will return to the tour?

Yes I agree, Djokovic will most likely end he's career as the top grand slam winner if he can stay fit and healthy. We have seen this many times when the young players come up against Djokovic, Nadal and Federer, they play good early on in the match but they can not sustain it through out the whole match. The class of these players always seems to find a way to win matches even when they are down. That is why they are hard to beat and also the young players don't seem to have the mental toughness to win matches even when they are in a winning position in the match.

I was hoping that we would see Federer play however I'm thinking that he is waiting for the grass court season as that is he's favourite court and it will be less stress on he's aging body.

What a surprise in the Master's now. Yt, Djokovic is a beast. I think if he has one of his best days nobody can beat him. Watching him playing defensively is almost like watching a magician. How can he manage to return all these balls the way he does?

Sometimes I can't even trust my eyes...
