Swiss Indoors Basel 2019, Switzerland, ATP 500

I hope Maestro can play this level repeatedly. Awesome level!

Alex leaps into the top 20 with his win.

He can't. It's the underlying problem w/ age.

 

[Bonaca]

Folks look at what they could do to the next generation when playing their A Game!
Unfortunately it happens less often.
Pleasure to see the game played nearly perfect.

Roger into the final with an easy win over Tsitsipas — 6-4, 6-4.

He has never played de Minaur — a little odd to play a final with someone you’ve never met before, but I think we all know who will win.

 

[kskate2]

I suspect it will be competitive though

 

[Murat B.]

Seems like Roger was in good form today. Of course the fun part is it says nothing about tomorrow. It is like having Sybil as your wife...

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Let’s go De Minaur, you can do it!

I suspect it will be competitive though

I hope you’re right. I thought de Minaur would be more of a factor this year, especially after watching his effort in the five set thriller against Cilic at last year’s US Open, but his year has been average.

Rafa and Medvedev played for the first time ever in a final this summer (Canada) and it didn't go so well for the inexperienced one.

I am sure D-Minor will win against Roger some day. But, it is not going to be on a Sunday, in Basel when he sees the Mastero across the net for the first time.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I did not see anyone mention this explicitly and so here you go.

The fist match Roger player in Basel is the 1500th match of his career.

 

[Bonaca]

Another great match of the Maestro!!!
With this level he will reach Bercy Final, if he plays!

 

[Murat B.]

Very impressed with D-Minor. This dude looks like he can run the 100m around 10 to 11 seconds.

 

[Murat B.]

OK, that inside out forehand pass was TMF. Damn you Roger for giving me hope !

 

[Murat B.]

Congrats on number 10 Roger. Let's skip France now and enjoy the year end tournament.

 

[Bonaca]

to the Maestro.

I hope he plays Paris. He can do something for his h2h against bull with this play!

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Congratulations to Federer and his fans on yet another Atp 500 title!

 

[the AntiPusher]

to the Maestro.

I hope he plays Paris. He can do something for his h2h against bull with this play!

Rafa will not loose to Roger again this season

 

[Bonaca]

Rafa will not loose to Roger again this season

If they meet and show the best level they showed this year in that one or two matches against each other, better put your money on Maestro.
Don’t forget, there is no clay until spring 2020 .
But I admit, only this current level of Roger or the level from Wimbledon would save him. Everything less is a straight set loss.
