Tsitsipas beats Zverev 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3

Djokovic-Nadal

21h53

: But it is not possible he comes back from where there Rafa ??

Raised from the cellar in two-two, he offers himself a break point. 

9:51 p.m

.: He has Serbian

influence

, nothing to say.

I know how to put it exactly, but he's been giving off something superior, over time, for the past 30 minutes.

I am afraid of my Rafa.

30-0. 

9:49 p.m

.: Oops the flashback for Rafa, who takes a

shutout

on his serve just behind.

He doesn't look his best physically anyway.

Djoko takes back control of this set! 

9:48 p.m

.: You have four hours (well no, 1:12 actually). 

How did we come to transform a possibly anthology match into a countdown to evacuation? # Programming # mutiny?

9:45 p.m.

: 

THE BREAK NADAL MAKES LIFTING THE CROWD !!

On another magical point, Djoko gave everything but Rafa pushed him down.

Huge match.

3-3. 

9:43 p.m .

: 

THIS

CRAZY FOURIEUX

POINT IS NOT TRUE !!!

A rally as long as the Dakar and it is Djoko who wins it to return to 40 A!

9:41 pm

: Go there the net which decided to help the owner a little on this backhand played by turning around;

Djoko disgusted with life, two break balls to save for him. 

9:40 pm

: This return of Rafa my ancestors !!

From the parking lot, direction the line.

15-30! 

9:37 p.m

.: There are guys in the stands who are already worried about the curfew.

For the moment it is said while having fun, but it is true that we are heading straight for a new cataclysm. 

9:35 p.m

.: 

The third is the right one for Nole, on an ugly cushioning from Nadal.

It hung in his face at the same time to the Spaniard.

And for the first time in the match, it is the Djoker who is in front! 

9:33 p.m .

: Aaaaaaah the cushioned cons of Djoko who remains to die in the strip of the net it's not true.

After a point where it sent severe again.

And Rafa's ace in the wake to erase the second break point!

9:32 p.m .

: 

Warning general alert, two break points Djoko !! 

9:30 p.m .

: There are still signs that do not deceive.

It is much more contested on the service games of the Spaniard.

Attention Rafa, it will eventually crack.

15-30 after an easy smash completely redacted. 

9:28 p.m

.: Well, he didn't want this game, Nadal ... 2-2. 

9:26 p.m .

: Know that Julien Clerc, Claude Lelouch and Clovis Cornillac are in the stands;

That's all for me. 

9:25 pm

: 

The resounding VAMOOOOOS !!

It was hot, very hot even Rafa on this game, but it holds.

2-1. 

9:23 p.m .

: Is it worth telling you which way the audience leans?

No, I do not think so. 

9:21 p.m

.: It's been two saved by Nadal, who is still moving in this game but it's very tense. 

9:19 p.m .

: 

Djokovic break point!

The Serbian cap from the rostrum in fusion. 

9:18 p.m .

: 15 winning CDs at 7 in favor of Espangol.

Who misses, certainly, but therefore who succeeds anyway haha.

30 A. 

9:17 p.m

.: As the impression all the same that very slowly, this match is turning.

Djoko much more constant, Nadal sometimes misses worrying things (a finding swept up in two games thank you goodbye). 

9:16 p.m

.: Popopo this cushioned deposited by Djoko from his baseline, so this one the little friends had to see it coming.

Besides, Rafa didn't see her coming.

15 A. 

9.15pm

: Quite quiet game for the Serbian.

This 3rd set is not yet really launched. 

9:13 pm

: Djoko who comes to pose his little forehand in all relaxation.

The impression that it does not go quickly and in fact it bursts at 2000. 

9:11 p.m

.: Oh mom that forehand again, long line, which lands full lulu.

Want to say it's crazy but he comes out 10 per game like that.

1-0. 

9:09 p.m .

: Impressive as the ball spins on the rebound on the boss's serve.

I had it right in the axis there, my wrist hurt just looking.

30-0. 

9:08 p.m .

: We left, with Nadal at the service. 

9:06 pm

: There he is again!

Thank you Rafa, it gave me plenty of time to get into the stands.

It's still nicer to watch the game from here. 

9:03 p.m

.: As we could predict

earlier

, Nadal will go for a little walk through the pits before the start of the 3rd set. 

9:01 p.m .

: 

THE SET FOR DJOKO !!

Huge fight this second round, really.

We enjoy.

And we're not in bed. 

9:00 p.m .

: Another one!

But she is not missed by Nadal, she is saved by Djoko, who has worn her лоптице well. 

8:59 p.m

.: It starts to make a lot of mistakes by Rafa there ... 

8:58 p.m

.: The sweaty hands of the Serbian who gives us a double fault at 30 A, ouch ouch!

Debreak ball.

8:56 p.m

.: 

Ooooooooooh this crazy passing but it comes out from where this one Rafa?

From the planet filled with rammed earth somewhere in the universe where he is the only inhabitant ??

How crazy this point, because there is a huge defense just before too.

15-30, beware of danger. 

8:54 p.m .

: Come on, Nadal game.

Djokovic will serve for the set. 

8:53 p.m .

: The classic outdoor service - full-line forehand concrete block.

A must for 15 years.

40-15. 

8:51 p.m

.:

Ugh

this full return of Djoko ... There's only him to do that.

15 A.

8:49 p.m .

: Ah, the doc called by Nadal to change sides.

Or he asked for it at the end of the set, rather.

It shouldn't be too bad but there is a little something that bothers the Spaniard. 

8:48 p.m

.:

That's it at last Djoko who confirms and who can breathe a little.

This game will count, in the paws and the noggin.

5-2. 

8:47 p.m .

: And a direct fault, one.

This game never ends.

I announce a 6-4 Nadal if he breaks it right away. 

8:44 p.m .

: The heavyweight fight, the coconuts there, I won't tell you!

It sends bags all over the place the level is crazy.

Equality. 

8:43 p.m.

: 

NaaaAAAaaan Djoko

who enters into a magical spot with an easy volley high into the net, as if he had not wanted to play it's crazy.

New debreak ball. 

8:42 pm

: Oula on the other hand it is very very far this setback there Rafa, who sends a sausage in the plants.

40 A

8:40 p.m .

: But he brings all Nadal back, it's not possible !!

How do you want to play against this man without really breaking a sweat?

15-40.

8:38 p.m

.: Finally a cushioning that

hits the mark

for the Serbian.

At 0-15 it was better. 

8:36 p.m .

: 

This time it's done!

Nadal sends the ball down the hall and Djoko comes away (again) in this second set, 4-2. 

8:35

p.m.: Aie aie aie Djokovic who is wrong in the game, that's two erased by the boss.

There is one left. 

8:33 p.m .

: What is this angle found by the Serbian there?

Nadal's backhand was already on the line, it's crazy what against he managed to put.

THREE BREAK BALLS. 

8:32 pm

: Hop hop hop Djoko which increases in intensity there and which leads 0-30. 

8:30

p.m .: Nole leading his boat for the moment in this 2nd set.

3-2. 

8:28 p.m.

: Ziouuuuuuuuuuuuu laser forehand Djoko.

Nadal 5 meters from the baballe is rare. 

8:25 p.m

.: Djoko agrees better, but better, it's still not enough against the master of hell on clay.

2-2. 

8:22 p.m.

: popopo THE BAG LONG LINE.

MADE IN MALLORCA.

Immediate break-up of the Spaniard in two minutes flat. 

8:20

p.m

.

: 

AND THAT'S BREAK DJOKO

.

He literally pushes Rafa to the ropes, like a boxer who constantly harasses his opponent.

Some faults along the way obviously, but that's the game. 2-0

8:18

p.m .: THREE DJOKO BREAK BALLS.

The first rescued on a deadened backward fucking miraculous.

The world number 1 is the best on the court since the game of 5-0. 

8:14 p.m .

: Djoko shutout, who has not won for four years on earth against Rafa.

It's starting to date, while I remember quite clearly when Nadal had a pantyhose on the same court in 2015 against the Serbian.

1-0

8:10

p.m .

: 

LA SEPTIMA ES LA BUENA !!!!!!!!!

 Djoko recovered well after half an hour to take a semi-trailer on the face in return, but that is not enough.

Nadal is taking the lead, we'll have to go get them. 

🎾 Largely domineering at the start of the match, Rafael Nadal 🇪🇸 finally struggled for an hour to win the 1st round against a Novak Djokovic who almost picked up, with his pride of world No. 1 (6-3) #RolandGarros

8:08

p.m

.

: 

SIXTH SET BALL SAVED BY ROBOKOVIC

.

Including one miraculously at 40-0.

We find ourselves tied.

Is something happening or not there ???

8:05 p.m .:

MY GOD THIS DEFENSE OF RAFA

.

I don't even know how to describe it to you, between the backhand passing at the end of the race and the winning lob behind practically on the buttocks; 

8:02 p.m .: And Djoko game.

Which comes down to 3-5 casually.

8 p.m .: Third set point Nadal.

And Djokovic's third rescue, with two smashes in the process.

7:58 p.m.:

Well, it's starting to balance out, finally.

But Nadal is two points from the set.

7:54 p.m .: 

Well, Nadal is sometimes human.

He not only missed this second set point, but ultimately conceded his serve with a double fault.

5-2

7:52 p.m .

:

BUT WHERE DO YOU COME FROM RAFAEL?

What a completely unbalanced smash!

Second set point for the Spaniard.

7:50 p.m .: 

Break balls erased, like the first two.

What to say...

7:48 p.m .: 

Two break points for Djoko.

The awakening of a giant?

7:45 p.m .: 

No, Djokovic will not take a 6-0 entry like Gasquet.

He has just scored his first game.

5-1.

7:42 p.m .: Another subtle counter-cushioning from Nadal.

For now, Djoko looks like a player of the fourth series against a cador.

Terrible.

7:40 p.m .: 5-0 for the Spaniard.

In 31 minutes.

At this rate, the compound will gently empty well before the 11 p.m. curfew.

And the organizers will avoid a riot.

7:35 p.m .: 4-0 Nadal.

For now, Djoko is not doing better than our national Richie in the second round.

7:29 p.m .: WHITE GAME NADAL.

3-0.

What a demonstration of Rafa so far.

At this rate, the guy will still be there in 2071. 

19h27: BREAK NADAL

at the end of a new point of anthology marked by a smash of the Serbian returned by the Spaniard then a conclusion with the two players at the net.

The treat !!!

7:26 p.m .: 

Too much cushioning kills cushioning.

And Nadal magnificently picks up Djoko.

Break point.

7:24 p.m .: 

Baduf amortization for Djokovic.

Or how to spoil a second 1-1 ball.

7:22 p.m .: 

Djoko and the net, a love-hate story.

After a nasty double fault, the Serbian “succeeds” a very lucky let.

And he apologizes.

7:18 p.m .

: First endless game (already).

And an INCREDIBLE defense from Rafa on a yet delicious lob from Djokovic.

Nine minutes to win his first serve game.

The standoff has begun. 

7.15pm

: OH THE ENTRY DJOKO BREAK BALL.

Rafa takes out an ace behind.

The audience is boiling hot.

It smacks of the legendary match. 

7:13 p.m .:

We're already going, we're not slacking off.

3:45 to finish before the evacuation of the stadium.

It can do it. 

7:10

p.m .

: 

NADAL AND DJOKOVIC WARMING UP.

THE CHILLS

. 

18h48

: Well imagine that the FFT has found a way to program a tribute to a guy I never heard of before the second semi-final, as if we had the day ahead of us.

In short.

It won't start until 7:30 p.m.

And it will never end before 11 p.m. 

6:44 p.m

.: The Greek is very moved at the microphone of Marion Bartoli.

He has trouble speaking.

First player from his country in Roland's final.

The kind of times you remember where you came from ...

6:41 p.m .:

THE FINAL FOR TSITSIPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS !!!! 

He managed to defeat his demons when he had everything to win easy, but he found himself having to know three break points entering the fifth inning.

Solid in the head the Greek. 

🎾 Stefanos Tsitsipas 🇬🇷 is the first Greek qualified for the final #RolandGarros after a huge match against Alexander Zverev 🇩🇪 after five sets (6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 in 3h37)

Delirium on the Chatrier or not far away.

p.m .: Tsitsipas has tidied up the coffee maker.

His forehand gained weight, his first serve ball with it.

5-2.

What can happen to him now?

Mystery. 

6:20 p.m .:

Santa Claus is lying, Santa Claus is German.

So many unprovoked unforced errors on the Zverev side while the Greek is still very fragile.

4-1, it will be hard to take it back anyway

6.15 p.m .: NO ALEXANDER BUT WHY ????

A schoolboy backhand who takes the net and gives Stefanos a break.

3-1 for the Greek, it can smell good if he confirms on the coming game.

Curfew in five hours, Nadal and Djokovic still not in sight.

Do you see the disaster scenario coming?

5:53 p.m

.:

THE FURIOUS POINT OF MADNESS AT THE MOMENT.

Zverev lands his soft volley like a banderilla on the Greek bull after an exchange of 245 blows at least.

Two set balls. 

5:50

p.m

.:

Tstitsi keeps the boat afloat on his service.

5-4 Alexander, moment of truth incoming on his engagement.

Two points lost since the start of the fourth round ...

17h45: L'Allemand à deux points du set. Stefanos se parle beaucoup pour trouver l'étincelle de la révolte au fond de lui, mais rien à faire. il s'envoie voir chez les Grecs (vous l'avez ?)

17h40: Un match qui n'atteint pas les sommets du jeu, on ne va pas se le cacher. Je sais pas si on a eu droit à dix minutes où les deux ont joué à leur meilleur niveau ensemble. 4-3 Zverev. 

17h35: Je commence sérieusement à m'inquiéter pour Tsitsipas, qui vient à peine de marquer son premier point sur le service adverse dans la quatrième set. Il est perdu dans ses options de jeu, mêmes les amorties en passent plus. 

5.30 p.m

.: Meanwhile, our two Frenchmen who got away with it earlier in the singles do not seem to suffer in the doubles.

They are one set away from the junior final.

A double match for Arthur Fils.

Superb performance by Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Arthur Fils!

5:25 p.m

.: He's getting the icing on this last game a bit, but given what he's told himself in Greek, I'm not sure he's talking about his next vacation in Mykonos the guy.

2-1 Zverev. 

17h18: INCROYABLE. Tsitsipas ne met plus un coup droit dans le court. Il offre son service tout cuit à Zverev, qui doit bien rigoler à l'intérieur vu comment il était à la rue il y a encore une demi-heure. 

17h12: LIKE A BOSS. JEU BLANC POUR FINIR. Et si on était partis pour une bagarre interminable alors qu'on a encore quatre heures de tennis à prévoir derrière. Oui, oui, ne riez pas. 6-4 Zverev. 

17h10: ALLEZ. Zverev peut donner une autre gueule à cette demi-finale s'il arrive à boucler ce set. Va falloir commencer à redescendre en terme de température corporelle après cette prise de bec avec l'arbitre. 

17h05: Zverev s'énerve auprès de l'arbitre de manière assez justifiée je trouve. Une balle de Stefanos est rectifiée bonne après avoir été annoncée faute, l'Allemand peut la remettre dans le court tranquillement, et pourtant le point est accordé au Grec...

17h02: Cela dit je ferais peut-être mieux de me taire. Mené 0-30, Zverev envoie trois cachous au service pour rester devant dans cette troisième manche. 5-3

16h57: Tsitsipas à sa main sur son jeu de service. Deux belles montées de service bien conclues au filet, où il n'a pas encore perdu de points depuis le début du match. 4-3. Je doute franchement que Zverev tienne son break d'avance jusqu'à 6-4...

16h52: OH LE COUP DE CANON DE ZVEREV EN REVERS. Typiquement le coup ça passe ou ça casse que tu tentes en désespoir de cause. Pleine ligne. 4-2 pour l'Allemand. 

16h49: IL SE REMET DEDANS LE COQUINOU. Passing long d eligne de revers vintage à la Gasquet. ou à la Stan. 0-30 sur le service de Zverev

16h43: Break confirmé. Enfin disons que Stefanos continue de faire sa petite siestouille. 3-1.

16h38: OH LE JEU AFFREUX DE TSITSIPAS. Il offre son servic comme au début de deuxième set. Vu comment s'était terminée l'histoire, on va attendre un peu avant de parler remontada et défilé porte de Brandebourg. 1-2

4:33 p.m .:

Zverev's forehand under pressure <my forehand with hand pressure.

The German is lost on the court even if he takes his service game.

We know how bullfights in general end. 

16h28: Tsitsipas va quand même arriver en finale sans connaître une seule frayeur notable. Clairement le joueur de la nouvelle génération qui me fait la plus grosse impression, considérant que Thiem est déjà un peu plus vieux. 1-0

16h23: DEUXIEME SET IN THE POKETIS AU BON LAIT DE BREBIS. 6-3, 6-3, match d'une grande faiblesse de la part de Zverev, comme ça lui arrive souvent dans les premiers tours. On espère que Djoko résistera mieux à Nadal tout à l'heure. 

16h20: Même sur son service, Zverev a un mal fou à dicter l'échange, comme on dit sur Amazon prime (enfin je suppose, j'ai pas l'abonnement). Il sauve une balle de set mais alors ça passe ric-rac. Nouvelle opportunité pour le Grec

16h15: Il distribue les amorties comme les ours en peluche à la fête foraine. Zverv aux fraises à chque fois. 5-3. 

16h10: C'EST FAIT !!! Quatrième jeu consécutif pour l'Appolon athénien, largement au-dessus de son adversaire quand il veut se donner la peine. Ca fera trois sets secs cette histoire, trust me. 

16h08: LES GRANDS COMPAS DE STAFANOS. DEUX BALLES DE BREAK IL EST PARTOUT EN DEFENSE. 

16h05: Popopop il vient de visiter le Parthenon là ce brave Alexander. 3-3. 

16h01: Ohlalala la série de cadeaux de Zverev qui paume son jeu de service tout seul comme un grand (normal quand on fait deux mètres). 3-2. Stefanos back in da business. 

3:57 p.m .

:

Watch out for the double asshole that puts Tsitsipas two points from the break while the handsome Stefanos no longer touched a peanut ...

3:52 p.m.:

The net also chose the German at the start of the second round.

Break confirmed on a dotted line.

The Greek is clearly experiencing a drop in tension.

3:47 p.m

.: 

This forehand Stefanos is too long, but yes !!

Two stupid mistakes that cost a lot, and this time it's the German who takes the lead. 

15h46: Balle de break Zverev, il est là le vrai début du match. 

15h45: Oula le coup droit de Tsitsi qui part dans le bois de Boulogne. Attention si jamais vous vous baladez par là y'a un truc jaune qui arrive ça peut faire un peu mal. 15 A. 

15h43: Et le jeu blanc pour repartir, ça fait toujours du bien. Surtout, il a essayé de jouer plus en avançant. On va voir si l'option est viable. 

15h42: Mais oui le premier service-volée du match pour Sasha. La solution OFFENSIVE.

15h41: On repart pour la seconde... L'Allemand au service.

15h37: LE PREMIER SET QUAND MEME POUR TSITSIPAS. Le Grec s'est détaché dès le départ et n'a pas lâché son emprise. On espère quand même que Zverev va rester sur la dynamique de la fin de set pour hausser un peu le niveau général de ce match.

15h35: Hey hey, il est mieux dans l'échange là Zverev. Tsitsipas doit lâcher des points qu'il remportait facile avant. Et ça fait 30 A... 

15h34: Ah, une baston de revers gagnée par Zverev. Assez rare pour être souligné. Il sait que c'est maintenant ou jamais l'Allemand ! 15 A. 

15h32: J'allais écrire jeu tranquille pour Zverev et en fait l'Allemand a trouvé le moyen de se faire peur quand même.M'enfin, il s'en sort sur une grosse première. Tsitsipas va servir pour le set. 

15h28: Ah non Sasha pas ça, pas après tout ce que tu as fait ! Défense miracle de l'Allemand, qui s'était quasiment arrêté de jouer avant de se rendre compte qu'il pouvait toucher ce smash de Tsitsi. Ca se termine sur la ligne de fond du Grec, point relancé mais 4 échanges plus tard il balance une saucisse en revers. 5-2. 

15h26: Hop hop hop il est beau ce point, volée amortie de Tsitsi, contre amortie de Zverev mais le Grec est là et met une petite balle lobée. Le Tweener de Sasha ne passe pas. 

15h23: Zverev se venge en lui rendant la pareille (et non l'appareil, comme j'ai cru jusqu'à mes 15 ans). 4-2. 

15h20: Miam ce revers long de ligne de Tsitsi... Pluis ça va moins l'Allemand marque de point sur le service adverse. Bon là on en est au jeu blanc, il pourra pas creuser beaucoup plus. 

15h18: C'est festival de coups boisés là. Je savais pas que c'était l'anniversaire de Cédric Pioline aujourd'hui. Ca permet à Zverev de marquer son premier jeu en tout cas. 

15h15: Allez là Sasha qui commence à se chauffer sur les rallyes. On sait pas combien de temps ça tiendra mais en attendant ça nous fait des beaux petits points. 30-15. 

15h11: Ca continue de rouler pour Stef, en forme olympique encore aujourd'hui (mdr vous l'avez??). 

15h09: ET OUI dès que la première ne passe pas c'est compliqué ! Dans l'échange y'a pas photo pour l'instant, et le Grec breake d'entrée dans cette demie. 

15h07: Deux balles de break déjà pour Tsitsi ! Ca va trop vite pour l'Allemand. 

15h05: Ce qui n'empêche pas un premier jeu compliqué pour le Grec, qui a eu besoin de 4 minutes pour prendre les devants. 

15h03: Les deux joueurs sont très proches mais on peut dire que Tsitsipas est favori de ce match, je pense. Il vole cette saison, il a remporté Monte Carlo et pour l'avoir vu désosser Carreno Busta, je peux vous dire que c'est solide. Il fallait aussi le sortir en 3 sets, Medvedev, cette année...

15h01: ON EST PARTIS. Le Grec au service. 

14h58: Quelle belle aprem pour être à Roland les ptits potes. Grand soleil mais petit vent pas désagréable du tout, en tout cas en tribunes. Sur le court en revanche ça doit cogner sévère. Bon courage aux joueurs. 

14h55: Zvrev et Tsitsipas à l'échauffement. Pendant ce temps-là, un petit mot sur les Juniors, avec nos quatre frenchies. Les demi-finales ont eu lieu entre la fin de matinée et le début d'aprem. Et ce sont Arthur Fils et Luca Van Assche qui se sont qualifés pour la finale. 

14h52: De retour ! La douce voix de Marc Maury retentit, les deux joueurs vont entrer sur le court Central. 

14h00: On se retrouve dans une petite heure, juste avant le début de la première demie. A tout' les zouzous. 

14h00: Petit conseil lecture pour bien commencer la journée > Ce petit pap sur papa et maman Tsitsipas, très présents aux côtés du fiston. Un peu trop, même, parfois.

Roland-Garros : « Ça peut devenir lassant »… Les parents Tsitsipas, indispensables mais parfois si encombrants

14h00: SALUT TOUT LE MONDE. Vendredi c'est demies ! On va se régaler cet aprem avec ces deux matchs messieurs. Tsitsi-Zverev pour se mettre en jambes, on a vu pire. Et puis, bien sûr, le choc des mutants juste après. Miam miam. 

Ca y est, Roland touche à sa fin. Mais rassurez-vous, on arrive sur la journée généralement la plus excitante de la quinzaine, celle des demi-finales hommes. Deux matchs de très haut niveau l'un après l'autre, on va en prendre plein les yeux pendant cinq-six heures, voire davantage si ces messieurs sont tous dans un grand jour. On commencera avec un indécis Tsitsipas-Zverev, les deux caïds de la Next Gen qui se voient bien maître du monde dans quelques années. Léger avantage au Grec, d'une consistance bluffante sur terre cette saison. Ensuite, le choc que tout le monde attend depuis le tirage au sort entre Rafa Nadal et Novak Djokovic. Le Serbe est l'un des deux seuls hommes à avoir jamais battu le patron Porte d'Auteuil. Vu le tournoi des deux, on ne parierait pas sur un nouveau miracle. Mais on peut compter sur le numéro 1 mondial pour tout faire pour que ça arrive, évidemment. 

>> Prenez votre aprem et venez nous rejoindre, ça va cogner beau et fort aujourd'hui à Roland...
