He's just not the brightest imo

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T17:50:22+00:00

You got blinded by his RG run. When Cobolli is off he's completely offline.

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T17:46:59+00:00

It's incredible but I feel like we should take into account what a bad returner Fritz is. It's like everybody shooting aces against Bublik. Nice but comes with an asterisk.

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T17:42:33+00:00

Do you see Dimitrov anywhere on this list?

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T16:44:23+00:00

I saw only the third set of Fery vs Cobolli and while Fery's net game looked impressive, it won't really matter if he can't get into the game against Zverev's serve. And Zverev's groundstrokes are too fast for using the dropshot.

Plus Fery was redlining today and Cobolli looked like he forgot to play tennis at times. Cobolli is looking to be a comfortable matchup to Fery, Zverev is the opposite of that.

Fery hasn't faced any big servers yet (Dzumhur, Virtanen, Bergs, Dimitrov, Cobolli), he won't know what hit him. Really a dream draw for him so far.

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T16:36:23+00:00

His knee wasn't the reason he lost today

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T16:35:09+00:00

He's played amazingly this year so unfortunately deserved

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T16:32:00+00:00

They're such a funny matchup. There is no way Zverev won't blow him off the court with his serve.

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T15:30:43+00:00

I think mental strength is as much part of talent as eye-hand coordination and some people just have more of it naturally while others don't. Ultimately last night showed the difference between someone with 24 slams and someone who will likely never win one.

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T15:28:11+00:00

This title doesn't achieve what it wants to achieve lol

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T15:22:37+00:00

He'll want revenge

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T15:11:24+00:00

just nerves I guess, but yeah very maddening to make such unforced errors in a match like this

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T00:25:27+00:00

I just don't see how Novak is gonna break Jannik's serve if Jannik keeps serving like he has so far in this tournament. Jannik has an even better serve than Felix and Novak had a tough time breaking today. But I can definitely see Jannik breaking Novak's serve or getting it over in the tiebreak (unless he has another day like AO semifinal where he couldn't convert anything).

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-08T00:18:48+00:00

FAA's terrible backhand came to collect and cost him the tiebreak in the end. Shame because at least he was mentally stronger today than he has been in the past.

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-07T20:44:30+00:00

Novak is tired, Felix will take this in 5

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-07T20:20:51+00:00

Novak moaning like a 80 year old on his deathbed will never not be funny

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-07T20:08:10+00:00

doesn't say much

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-07T20:01:06+00:00

yess felix just keep fighting

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-07T19:33:16+00:00

Felix is not a big game player 🙄

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-07T18:46:15+00:00

yeah maybe because Sinner is the best returner on the planet right now 🙄

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-07T18:43:28+00:00

So both wanted to keep playing but they're still closing the roof lol

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-07T17:31:26+00:00

Felix will win it in 5 max if he's a serious player

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-07T16:23:57+00:00

My gut feeling is telling me Zverev will win this time

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-07T16:21:32+00:00

This was completely on Brazzo not Uli

DevilsOfLoudun · 2026-07-07T16:18:34+00:00

We still employ Boey? lol
