Yes the gf has an obvious appeal, no doubt, bur if I were her coach(which I am not), I would have advised against the arm tattoo. Also, I think I would be amiss not to mention that even though this girl is "easy on the eyes", by today's Instagram standards, she does not really stand our that much. That being said, I expect she will soon "tank" on her relationship with Bernard. Also, that being said, it is way easier to talk about the abundance of Instagram hotties than to actually land one. Pro tennis players seem to be at the top of the food chain in that regard, but Bernie could not be on more borrowed time in that regard.Last edited by stroke; 11-17-2020, 11:04 AM.

Nadal v Thiem
Stunningly good match played at a relentless tempo. Thiem averaged 88 mph off his backhand wing in the second set tiebreak. Talk about upping your game in the clutch...and some of his inside out forehands at the key moments were amazing. The great thing about a Nadal v Thiem match is you are guaranteed flat out effort from start to finish. Once again Rafa shows he has the best overhead on the tour...along with Roger. Rafa's first serve percentage was low by his standards but both men worked well behind their second serves. There is a lesson in there somewhere for Zverev one feels.
Thiem hit 37 winners, twelve more than Rafa. Great match by Thiem. He really went for it.
Looking forward to watching the handsome Greek versus Russia's Raskolnikov...Rublev. I'm rooting for the Greek.Stotty

Stefanos v Rublev
Tennis is a funny game. Stephanos was head and shoulders the better player for the first set and 98% of the second...then it all went pear-shaped in under a minute. He made hard work of it but Stephanos made it passed the finish line in the end. When he is playing well he plays with more authority than anyone out there. So attacking and mentally assertive. Exciting to watch too. I'm glad he won. Rublev is the most limited player in the ATP finals. He's looked inexperienced and out of his depth so far.Stotty

Djokovic v Medvedev
Medvedev a break up at 4-3 in the first. Very high standard but slightly dull at the same time. How many mesmerising 20 stroke rallies can you actually watch? I wish Novak would stop bailing out in rallies with his backhand drop shot...always hits it in the same place...down the line.
Novak doesn't seem to fancy going through the lung-busting rallies today. He will have to grind it out to win.Last edited by stotty; 11-18-2020, 01:05 PM.Stotty

Medvedev is a set and 3-0 up and hacking away like mad...no adventure in his play whatsoever but he is soaking everything up Novak throws at him. Novak doesn't seem to fancy digging deep and seems not prepared to slug out endless 20-odd stroke rallies. I think he might if it was the final though.Stotty

You have to believe it's going to be harder for Novak going forward with players like Medvedev and Thiem clipping at his heels. At 33, and with that gruelling, monotonous game of his, he is going to have to start getting strategic. Letting last night's match with Medvedev go is probably a wise move, assuming he gets past Zverev. He can still win the tournament. After all why show Medvedev everything you've got in a foreplay match. Wiser to hold back, converse energy, and unleash everything he's got for a potential final with the same player...Medvedev.
Nadal did let a match go against Schwartman in Rome. Conservation is starting to enter Nadal's mind too. They can both learn a thing from Roger here.
I wonder how good Medvedev is when the same game is thrown back at him...the mirror strategy as John Yandell calls it. You have to believe he is better at soaking up pace as oppose to dishing it out. Just a thought. You fancy Roger could unlock Medvedev's door rather handily.Stotty
