Gauff has a problem and if they don't work hard on her serve she'll underperform big time.
Michelle Larcher de Brito and Karatancheva made waves very young but their serve was a big no. Being inmerse on the circuit doesn't give you time to make the changes you need to improve. Coco better work hard on the off season or she will start to feel the pressure of being labelled the next big thing

Awful match from Shapovalov. He has a great backhand and a very good forehand but no gameplan at all.
The attitude was awful. The positive thing for him is he is not going to be destroyed by Sinner next round

Wow, a lot has to change to Davidovich have a decent future in tennis no matter how talented he is.
One thing is being break the three times you serve for match and other very different doing repeating again and again the same mistakes. If dropshots are not working everybody with a brain stops doing dropshots, but not Alejandro.
And he got totally out of the match in the third set.

I want FAA to win vs. Schwartzman, but it will be tough task - I feel Diego will run so much down and get FAA to go for too much and make errors.

The new system benefits some players and clearly is detrimental to others.
Watching the points won this year you get that Gasquet is 54 when he would be 108 with the points of this year, others who benefited are Kukushkin 89 (119), Basilashvilli 34 (134), López 62 (141), Verdasco 61 (147), Querrey 50 (149), Nishikori 36 (193), Chardy 73 (207) and Sousa 81 (229).
On the other hand Gulbis is 175 and would be 96, Huesler 187 (95), Otte 141 (89), Korda 138 (87), Rodionov 151 (85), Wolf 122 (74), Altmaier 124 (59), Alcaraz 136 (58), Musetti 123 (55) and Karatsev 111 (51).

I'm not that surprised. Shapalov has been playing a lot of consecutive weeks and might me a little taxed. Plus, he's a player who can go off the rails and start missing a lot, as much as he can get in a groove and hit all sorts of incredible shots. And, he's emotional, so things can go downhill quickly he gets in his own head.

Coric was the better player in the first set today except on his 3 break points and then his 3 set points in the tiebreak. He faltered at the worst moments then he seemed mentally worn out in the 2nd. Djokovic is just so damn tough to beat. I'm beyond sick of this guy. I will say Coric served amazingly in the first set and if he can start doing that more often he'll be top 10. His game is actually quite similar to Djokovic except that Coric has a flawed fh grip that can get him into trouble.
Disappointing about FAA but he's probably exhausted.

R90 seems like it. When Coric times it well he can hit with a lot of power. He had an amazing shot the other day against Fritz. When he's rushed on that side he makes errors. Coric, Khachanov, Wawrinka, Sock, Tiafoe, Gulbis, Paire, all have unusual fh grips/motions and usually are the cause when they lose matches.

For either Berrettini or Monfils to get the eighth ATP Finals berth, they'll have to make the Paris finals, and Schwartzman will have to get no farther than the quarters.

During that same time Sinner lost in the first round at the USO (to Khachanov, who's also been off and on lately) and didn't even get through the first round of the qualies in Cincinnati, losing to Caruso. Not consistently solid results.

R179 And i repeat, the sensations from both are totally different. Felix was top 20 last year, people expected big things from him this year but he underperformed in most tournaments (he was lucky he didn't have to defend most points).
Sinner was totally unknown last year, unlike Felix he doesn't have an stellar junior past. Right now people are talking more about Sinner than about Felix and that's for a reason.
by Anonymous | reply 183 | November 3, 2020 6:01 PM |
Apples and oranges, R183--yes, Sinner has achieved some notable results recently, as has FAA. The hype over Sinner actually began in October of last year when he reached the semis in Antwerp and won NextGen the following month (where the highest ranked player was Tiafoe at #47). Then he fell completely flat in the first part of 2020 while Felix was (and continues) making it to finals. Sinner has yet to make a final in an ATP 250 event or higher. So again, he's been inconsistent. The one claim that Sinner can make over FAA is that he's reached a GS quarter while FAA hasn't made it beyond a GS round of 16. Yet FAA already made it to three ATP finals before he turned 19.
Has Felix fully lived up to his hype? No, it's been a double-edged sword, as people expect him always to do well. That doesn't change the fact that he's the youngest player in the top 25, has reached 3 finals plus 2 more semis this year, and he's broken a lot of records already. Overall he's done better than Sinner, and he'd accomplished far more at Sinner's current age. So big deal if people are talking more about Sinner because there were fewer expectations. That doesn't change the overall record. We'll see what happens next year.
by Anonymous | reply 185 | November 3, 2020 6:48 PM |
Nobody doubt of his capacity to reach finals, his capacity to win them is a different story.
The truth is Felix is very far from the hype they created around him last year, specially after Miami.
He showed pretty bad signs on his US Open match against Shapovalov, it's not that Shapo defeated him without even sweat, it's that Felix seemed to not even care.

He stayed in the top 25, reached his best GS result, made it to three finals, and to two semis. That's not bad at all even if the trajectory was flat. It's not reaching Nadal or Hewitt or Djokovic's accomplishments by 20, but it's still pretty damn good. 2021 should be his definitive year about living up to the hype. Even Federer didn't really come into his own until he was almost 22.
by Anonymous | reply 189 | November 3, 2020 7:26 PM |
He stayed in the top 25 because he didn't have to defend last year's points.
Federer was not that hyped at that age. During a good while people though Federer would be one of those player who waste their talent and underperform. Only after winning Wimbledon (he lost the previous Roland Garros in the first round) he started to be really regular, before that he was able to demolish the number one to lose with a journeyman the following week.
My problem with Felix is i didn't see any progression this year. I don't think Shapovalov will be a dominant player in the future but he was playing better this year than he did the last one.
And the problem with the losing finals is not that he was not able to win, he was playing higher ranking players but he underperformed. He played worst in the finals that he did in the previous rounds. He should win a title as soon as possible before that losing streak became a problem

I'm pretty sure you're wrong on that point, R190, as far as Felix's ranking goes based solely on 2020 performance. If anything, he'd be ranked higher. If you look at the current top 25, most of them are coasting on their 2019 points. Only Djokovic, Tsitsipas, Rublev and Schwartzman have made it to 5 or more ATP semis in 2020 like Felix has. Your boy Sinner has made it to exactly one semi this year. And only Djokovic, Nadal, Thiem, Zverev, Federer, Medvedev, Rublev, PCB and Tsitsipas have reached the collective equivalent of a GS semi this year.
The ATP has really set things askew with their ranking adjustments. It makes no sense that players who are playing 2020 events can keep their 2019 points for the same even if those 2019 points are higher. What would have made a lot more sense is if players kept their 2019 points only for those events that were suspended in 2020 or for which the players couldn't attend in 2020 otherwise due to COVID.

That's really amazing. He has a long career as a top player, but he had some periods of injuries

Stan the Man beat Rublev after losing 6-1 in 30 quick minutes. But he came back. Tomorrow he plays Zverev!

FAA-Hurkacz are looking quite good making it to the Paris semis today, having upset top-seeded Farah-Zeballos and seventh-seeded Peers-Venus on the way.

PCB warming up against Rafa. PCB in usual semi-aroused state as evidenced by bouncy bulge. Does he go commando under those white shorts?

PCB team all the way. He just broke in the first set. Does anyone have that pic of him from the earlier thread where he is with three other guys and they are all wearing biking spandex? That pic is incredible showing off his goods.

And Rafa, as usual, finds a way out. 6-1 in the decider.

With Rafa (and Novak) you need to take your chances and kill the match when you have the opportunity (like Lil Diego did on Rome) or you'll end biting the dust.
Humbert needs to improve on the deciding moments, it's not the first time he lose a tie break he was clearly destined to win

Schwartzman officially qualifies for the Finals
In the Double race, 7 spots assigned
Ram/Salinsbury
Pavic/Soares
Krawietz/Mies
Granollers/Zeballos
Koolhof/Mektic
Peers/Venus
Melo/Kubot
For the last spot, Melzer/Roger Vasselin are currently leading (and they are in Paris semi) over Murray/Skupski. Rest is out even if they win in Sofia

Sofia has a pretty good draw. A good opportunity for Felix or Sinner to win their first title
by Anonymous | reply 241 | November 7, 2020 12:42 PM |
Felix may win his first title in doubles first since he and Hurkacz made it through to the Paris doubles finals today.
by Anonymous | reply 242 | November 7, 2020 1:48 PM |
I think if he wins he'll get that confidence.
There are a good bunch of players who can beat him, but he and Shapo are the favourites

And i thought that the Zverev-Ferrer combo was destined to fail, but it's working pretty fine. Sascha is focused on the game while his life is a mess

Rafa just becomes so "normal" on indoor HC. It's weird. I mean, not really normal, but not the GOAT level he plays outdoor HC and, of course, clay.

R245 There are jokes like that all over internet. He better hire a good lawyer because his mild denying of the events is not helping him at all.
It's curious that he is playing that well when his life is a mess (because the mama of his baby will be trouble in a future for sure too)
by Anonymous | reply 248 | November 8, 2020 10:19 AM |
R248, mediocre play is not now an option for him (and I guess it was before). He has to make it clear that he is an essential component of the tour.
by Anonymous | reply 249 | November 8, 2020 10:42 AM |
But even with mediocre play (he didn't play well at the US Open) he outperformed what was usual for him.
In fact he did pretty well at GS this year which used to be his weakest point.
Zverev's career is really good, he reached 22 finals at 23 that's pretty unusual, but the expectations were so high that there's a feeling that he is failing (probably because his performances at GS were very mediocre in the past)

And Felix gains his first ATP 1000 title with Hurkacz in the Paris Doubles overcoming the #1, #2, #4 and # 7 seeded doubles teams on their way to the championship.

It's rough being a Felix fan. You never know which Felix is going to show up, kind of like Monfils or Wawrinka.
