Alcaraz on the brink... he's only converted 5 of 20 BPs vs Ramos, and Ramos just served for the match. Alcaraz broke back... 6-1 6-7 5-7 6-5...

add felix to the short list to take 2 sets off rafa here, going 5~
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 29 May 2022 17:47 (three years ago)
felix has served really well this match, maybe thats the advice uncle toni gave him
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 29 May 2022 18:11 (three years ago)

I don't like Novak much, but I kinda enjoy the way his noises of exertion sound like "WALLOP!" much of the time.
― anatol_merklich, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 19:37 (three years ago)
It's terrific so far. Nadal isn't playing loads better but it's about to be 5-1
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 19:44 (three years ago)
Yeah it's intense and also re-reminds me (for the 546078nth time) why clay tennis is super special.

Where are y'all watching this (in the UK)? Sounds too good to miss.

Thx for the radio tip, hadn't thought of that. U.S. options for watching are super expensive.

I've listened to the US open a lot more than watched it.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 20:33 (three years ago)
Yeah watching tennis is such a pain in the ass. If there was one subscription that would include at least all the slams, I'd consider it, but even the Tennis Channel doesn't get you close to comprehensive coverage.
― a man often referred to in the news media as the Duke of Saxony (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 31 May 2022 20:36 (three years ago)
Nadal saving bps now..
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 20:37 (three years ago)
xp - here you used to get three slam finals on tv (apart from US) and comprehensive coverage of Wim and French.
Now down to Wimbledon only. Sucks.

How many net cords has Novak had gone against him lol

Incredible. Novak kept coming. 3-3

15-minute game. Mental.

Breaks and 2nd set Djoko
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 21:22 (three years ago)
Nadal breaks straightaway though.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 21:29 (three years ago)
Not as good a set as Novak dropped his level a bit. Nadal to serve for it.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 22:02 (three years ago)
these guys are both so amazing its a true joy to watch them compete @ this level
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 22:12 (three years ago)
Yup it is, and Djoko breaks. Nadal isn't happy the umpire overruled the line judge, but it looks correct.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 22:19 (three years ago)
To serve for the set
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 22:43 (three years ago)

Epic first point to start this TB!

Nadal is playing some superb fhs here. 3-0
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 23:09 (three years ago)
Djoko is surely done. That was wild. 5-1

Still a bit wired after listening to the radio commentary for the last hour. Went to Twitter to see some clips and it seems like someone had been streaming it live the whole time? (It was Bartoli interviewing Rafa by the time I got there).
Phew.
If Zverev wins the title, he's #1 on June 6.If he doesn't, Medvedev is #1 on June 13 (when all the points from RG 2020-21 drop).
And with no points at Wimbledon, whether banned or otherwise, one or the other will stay there for a while - while Djokovic, Berrettini, Hurkacz, Shapovalov go backwards (and Fed vanishes).

thought rublev was the better player in the 5th but that tie break by cillic was at an incredible level.
― oscar bravo, Wednesday, 1 June 2022 20:15 (three years ago)
"Zverev hit 25 winners to Nadal’s 11 in that epic opening set but also had 26 unforced errors to Rafa’s 11. Those four double faults from Zverev didn’t help either. Nadal didn’t have any."
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 3 June 2022 14:47 (three years ago)
Such a shame that Zverev is playing at the end of Nadal and Djoko's career. He would've bagged maybe one slam.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 3 June 2022 14:49 (three years ago)
oh no!

Yeah she was so fierce and on point, just never any real opening for Gauff. Be interesting to see if she can carry it over to other surfaces.
