Roland Garros / French Open [Men] - Grand Slam

[napo]

Never saw the Greek playing better and with more confidence than in this first set.
Very high level from him.

The Young Greek is exposing Med balance on the clay

 

[don_fabio]

Greek serving way too good, then all the rest is working too.

First class 1st set from The Young Greek 63

The Young Greek is exposing Med balance on the clay

Smart play, he don't want to engage in monotonus rallies with Med. He is mixing it up nicely.

Yes, even his “weakness”, the BH and return, today isn’t look like one.
And Daniil isn’t playing bad.

Yes,he has a smart game plan,also he is keeping Med off balance.at the baseline,good use of the drop shot's as well,not over doing it,I think he has a good all round game,I am also interested to see him on the grass this year

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Med please learn to slide on clay? not run to the shot

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Med cannot make any impression on the return of The Young Greek's serve at present

 

[don_fabio]

Med can't do any damage even when greek can't put the first serve in. I can see this ending in 3 sets.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Lovely BH slice from the Greek,he is using his brain out there
Break to the Greek,well done

 

[napo]

The arrogant Greek jerk is just playing too good. Outplaying Daniil in every aspect of the game.

He is just better on clay, this is for sure greek's favorite surface.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good service hold from Med.

 

[don_fabio]

0:30 wow

 

[don_fabio]

Med breaks out of nowhere but I had a feeling he just needs to win a first point or two against greek's serve. To consolidate will be a challenge. Intensity has just risen.

 

[napo]

Yes re-break for Daniil.
Stefanos coudnt stay at this level and the Russian bear is clearly becoming stronger!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay I went to get a cup of coffee why did the Young Greek get broken?

 

[don_fabio]

Okay I went to get a cup of coffee why did the Young Greek get broken?

I remember 2 UE by the greek and no first serves

 

[don_fabio]

finally we have a match
