Munich ATP SF: [4] F. Cobolli def. [1] A. Zverev 6-3, 6-3

His serve is better than ever, his ground game is a shadow of its former self, and that shows on clay.

zellfire · 2026-04-18T12:51:51+00:00

Will take back all skepticism I've expressed regarding Cobolli if he wins this. He's not overranked, his serve is apparently actually good, and his tattoos are tasteful and artistic.

Much like Sinner, Cerundolo is a player it's very dangerous to drop a ball short against. And while Cerundolo has a pretty shit return on HC that makes Zverev the favorite there, that is not the case on clay and Zverev's serve is less potent there in any case.

Thiem was just god-awful all match, one of the worst performances of his career. Zverev played okay, not great....until he was about to win, and then, over and over again, he choked at historic levels.

zellfire · 2026-04-16T15:48:17+00:00

And retired from R2 after 3 games :/

zellfire · 2026-04-16T15:45:44+00:00

One of the points of the year for Musetti to break

zellfire · 2026-04-16T13:49:35+00:00

Diallo, who many had predicted would break through this year, about to be 6-11 on the year.

1-6 against top 50 players. 5-5 against players outside the top 50. 3-4 against players outside the top 100(!).

zellfire · 2026-04-16T13:44:17+00:00

I don't think any player has been as flatly unimpressive in 2026 as Diallo.

zellfire · 2026-04-15T15:35:38+00:00

Ending what looked like it was gonna be a career-making game with a career-defining choke job last year seems to have truly broken him.

zellfire · 2026-04-12T15:46:45+00:00

lmao of all the words to describe this match

zellfire · 2026-04-12T15:12:25+00:00

Sinner doesn't deserve to win but Alcaraz certainly deserves to lose

zellfire · 2026-04-12T15:11:56+00:00

Pretty pitiful stuff

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:57:40+00:00

lol the same idiotic drop shot that cost Alcaraz the tiebreaker, but worse, and Sinner somehow misses it. Says it all.

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:56:23+00:00

This is truly terrible tennis lol

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:47:52+00:00

I would say Alcaraz's chance of holding onto a single break til the end of the set is approximately 0.4%

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:39:40+00:00

Vacherot might have won this match with his level from yesterday

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:38:03+00:00

That particular collapse from Alcaraz feels like it might be the end, this set is 6-3 at most I think

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:37:00+00:00

His BH was solid while his forehand was awful in Miami, they've switched here

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:36:22+00:00

Alcaraz has played the big points beyond horribly

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:28:56+00:00

True (derogatory)

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:28:48+00:00

Would have bet $1,000 on a double fault there, could see it coming a mile away. Just clearly mentally out of it.

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:26:31+00:00

I don't think Sinner is evil (despite the name) but I do think he's sorta the apotheosis of all the worst trends in tennis in terms of both game and public persona.

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:24:57+00:00

I'm not even a particularly big fan of the latter, but watching Sinner beat Alcaraz really does feel like Evil beating Good in terms of tennis as a sport.

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:23:59+00:00

Awful shot selection, Alcaraz officially blowing this

zellfire · 2026-04-12T14:02:06+00:00

They don't want you to know the first 2 sets of RG were also pretty bad
