That is at 12-12 isnt it?

Indeed. Brought about by KAndo and Jisner.

The isner game was a decade at least before.
Seems odd it is held up as reasoning for it

Not that one, the Kevin Anderson v John Isner Semi final.

Oddly I dont remember that!

After the final set went 50 games its burned into my mind!

I have a vague memory of Anderson in the final.
That's about it

Stupid rule change

Been that way at the US Open as long as I can remember.

I get they need a limit for earlier rounds but it would be great to have a limitless 5th Set in the final of all 4 Slams.

Has it?
Idiot idea
The champions tie break at Wimbledon makes slightly more sense

I thought the Wimbledon Final Tiebreak in 2019 was an anticlimax as well.

I'm a traditionalist, but not much stays the same these days. I'm convinced the early rounds of Grand Slams will go to Best of 3 sets soon, too.

That is at 12-12 isnt it?

Yep, but it shouldn't be for the Final.

This

Only real servebots left now are Isner,Anderson,Raonic and Karlovic

Karlovic must be getting on now

Randall wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 7:56 pm Karlovic must be getting on now

40 I think still kicking around and his serve is still epic got no other game but if they can't break you u have always got a chance in a tie break

Anyone know if Nadal has been shite or has Schwartzman played lights out?

How many can boast to having beaten Nadal in straight sets on clay? Cant be a long list.

Different clay in tome

Two of the five supposedly 'worst losses' were 1-2, and two of the remaining three that were 0-2, there was at least one set which got to a tie-break.
Schwartzman played impressively yesterday.

Nadal didn't look fit from what I saw.

Shapovalov has impressed me the most this week moved very well on clay considering his game is suited to hard and grass

Tiny Argentine really dug in. Will be a lovely little snack for Nadal.

Different conditions in Rome as well

From what I've watched so far over the 10 days Djokovic beats Nadal in the final only player left who as any remote chance of upsetting the apple cart is Tsitsipas but he will have to serve 100% against Djokovic and that might not be enough
