Nitto ATP Finals 2022, Turin, Italy

Fritz going to be the more solid baseliner..
Can FAA mix it up enough?

 

[kskate2]

I’d like to see Fritz win this one. FAA is probably the favorite.

Will be a tough match I think for Fritzy. Felix has a very nice rhythm on these indoor HC's even though he took a beating from the ghost on Sunday.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

FAA it would be helpful if you could keep the ball in the court

 

[tented]

Tiebreak: I’m shocked — SHOCKED!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I have to agree with Jim Courier, FAA 2nd serve is too predictable, he needs to mix it up more,.

 

[tented]

FAA’s blowing this TB. Fritz up 4-2 at the changeover.

EDIT: Fritz wins the first set.

 

[Tennis_Steve]

FAA, feels a bit back to old ways, when under pressure.
Close though.

Felix needs to step up his game.. He is an overall and more fundamentally technically sound play than Taylor is at this point in their careers, IMO.

 

[tented]

I don’t even need @kskate2 ’s crystal ball to see another TB on the horizon. It’s ultimately not that interesting of a match, IMO.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That 2nd serve of FAA lets him down again and Fritz gets a mini break in 2nd set t/break
Friz leads 4-2

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay spoke too soon Fritz coughs up DFs and its 4 all 2nd set t/breeak

Toni must have at least tried to fix this, right? Is FAA simply being stubborn?

His first of the match, no less.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yes. though FAA made a good ROS on Fritz serve and now has SP

 

[tented]

Wow, you are going VERY slowly if Lahyani gives you a warning.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Felix waited to the midnight hour but finally took control of the set. Bravo Seniore Felix

You would think Toni would have told him about mixing up his 2nd serve? maybe FAA disregard's the advice he must see on court his 2nd serve is losing him points and he has to mix it up

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay FAA wins the 2nd set t/break 76(5)
Going 3 now

 

[kskate2]

Agree Trent. Definitely NOT as interesting as the Maury match last night. This almost feels like 2 young servebots going at it (very few rallies).

 

[kskate2]

Just overall slop right there from Felix to drop serve. 2 DF's and a couple of FH errors. Fritzy 2 games away
