Sascha looks soo much better in sleeves

Yeah, he looks normal. Curious how he will do tonight. He has a lot to prove here, needs some good results. Meddy had plenty in last few months.

I don't think I realized they had lights in MC. Is that new? New-ish?

I think he is a better clay player than Meddy, he moves better on the clay for starters

No, I think they are using them because this match was delayed, due to Novak's match having to stop due to rain, this match is quite late,

The more talented and better looking player won! Congratulations to Musetti!

It's pretty amazing. I live 4 hour drive from Venice for the last 7 years, but only payed a visit now .

Do you go much to Trieste, love that port city in NE Italy, though of course its not really Italian, is it? ; )

ETA: good win for Musetti, not pretty by any stretch of the imagination, but quite frankly better to win ugly than lose beautifully.

Zverev's 2nd serve has always been his 'achilles heel", broken early in the 2nd set, Meddy leading 3-1
The break didnt last long Meddy serves up a DF and back on serve in the 2nd set his 5th DF so far in this match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Meddy's serve has let him down in this match, at crucial times, his 7th DF and he hands Zverev the break and he will serve out the match 5-4

 

[don_fabio]

Meddy with 2 DFs to hand a break at 4:4. After the 2nd DF he goes and removes the net holder

His serve has let him down big time in this match up at crucial times

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Zverev's serve has the yips lol!
Broken back on serve 5 all

 

[don_fabio]

Typical from Zverev.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Typical from Zverev.

Yep right on cue lol

What do you think: does Medvedev win this set?

 

[don_fabio]

Daniil and the crowd, he tries to control them.

 

[don_fabio]

What do you think: does Medvedev win this set?

Yap, he is a bit angry now and looks like he wants it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yap, he is a bit angry now and looks like he wants it.

As long has he leaves the net cord in place and stop with the DFs

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Meddys return game, too good for Zverev, who should have won in straight sets, serving for the match and his serve went AWOL
Meddy wins 2nd set 75

You got it right! We’re going 3 …

Perfect, another hour of tennis, just before the bed time.
