Matchups are fascinating. Djokovic and Federer dismissed Berrettini with ease, yet they both lost to Thiem. Meanwhile, Thiem just lost to Berrettini in straights. (Domi was probably tired from the stressful match against Novak, but he has also struggled against Matteo before.)

 

Cant believe how people are already trashing Thiem....awful. The match with Matteo meant nothing. Obvious he was saving up his energy for the semis. He beat two legends back to back yet people are still dogging him....terrible.

 

And Matteo is serve and forehand....everything else is below average. His backhand is horrific bad IMO.

Never seen such a half-assed performance from Novak.

I was hoping Novak would win. Roger needs to retire.

Federer was like "Novak, you're not beating my as$ six times in a row!" I hardly got a chance to watch the match, I didn't think it would be over that quickly!

Now some on TC say Roger will win it all......rolls eyes.....

I’ll take a Wimbledon trophy saving two championship points over an ATP Finals RR match anytime. The media is already trying to paint it as some kind of redemption, pandering to Fedfans who are still not over 40-15.

Ding ding....ESPN

We really need Med to beat Sascha to get Rafa/Fed semi!  

 

Sascha won so Nadal is out and there is no reason for me to try and find ways to watch this weekend.

 

Overall, the YE finals were below par (ATP & WTA).  Very underwhelming and because the prize money is super impressive, some changes need to be made for 2020.

The Roger pimping by ESPN is awful. We get it ESPN. Nadal getvyear end #1 trophy even though he didn't make the semis...lol. I didn't even know a trophy existed.

 

Go Thiem!   

 

Of course Brad picks Sasha over Thiem. They hate Thiem. 

 

And Medvedev won zero matches and didn't get any ranking points. 

 

 

Thank you, Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Not too many should be shocked.  Fed is no longer a match for the new guard.  Hell, Nadal and Djoker can barely handle the youngins. 

This seems like a good and worthy cause but seeing Kamau's name attached makes me think that there is more than a bit of damage-control at stake here.
