This might seem like a familiar scenario. Most of us lose our composure over something e.g. There’s so much to like about the Austrian, who reached the final last year having made the semis in 2016 and 2017, but it’s fair to say that.Djokovic, who’s looking to complete his second Novak slam having also held all four majors in 2015-16, has been beating up his opponents so far, and hasn’t come close to losing a set. ",Zverev lost to Canadian world number 18 Milos Raonic in the.in January, during which he smashed a racquet during a changeover.There were several roars of frustration during an underwhelming performance on Philippe Chatrier on Tuesday.He opened up a two-set lead but was broken twice in the third and was dominated in a fourth-set tie-break. That’s what my parents tell me.”.Dominic Thiem should provide a much stiffer test in the semi-final, but Djokovic, who has still not dropped a set, will be the big favourite to advance to the final.This is the hot dog I was talking to from the previous game incidentally:This is the backhand pass I was talking about from a few games ago:Should mention as well there was some good sportsmanship from Djokovic at 0-15 when he gave Zverev a first serve after his serve was called out but the mark was inconclusive.After almost 72 hours of build-up thanks to yesterday's wash-out, we finally have one of the most eagerly anticipated matches of the tournament.In theory, Novak Djokovic against Alexander Zverev should be a thrilling contest between the elder statesmen and the next genner, a battle of the backhands, and a chance for Zverev to show that he is ready to step up from boy to man.In reality, Djokovic has a nasty habit of being far, far better than even highly-rated opponents and rushing them into playing their absolute worst. Thiem’s groundstrokes might not be talked about with the same reverence as Rafael Nadal’s forehand, but in fact he puts even more topspin on the ball. “Grand Slam is best of five. 30-all.

That's what matters. It’s.Djokovic breaks back for 5-5. It's different.”.Thiem, who lost last year's final to Rafael Nadal, is looking to reach a fourth straight French Open semifinal.But he faces an opponent who unleashed a barrage of massive serves and forehands to overpower former US Open champion Del Potro in the last 16, and also won their only previous meeting in the 2018 Paris Masters semi-finals en route to the biggest title of his career to date.Karen Khachanov beat Dominic Thiem in the 2018 Paris Masters semifinal.His run in Paris, the third consecutive year he has made the second week, means Khachanov will break into the world's top 10 for the first time after the tournament.“I will try to fight and let's see. But seriously why would we expect tennis players to behave better than the rest of us? That's certainly how the bookies see it, with Djokovic a massive 1/10 favourite and Zverev at odds as long as 6/1.Hopefully, Zverev can deliver and at least make the match a contest. He was twice taken to five sets in the first week, before surviving a gruelling four-setter against Fabio Fognini on Monday.Djokovic by contrast has not dropped a set and barely broken sweat.

German fifth seed Alexander Zverev reached his second successive French Open quarter-final when he recovered from losing the first set to beat Italian Fabio Fognini on Monday.Zverev, 22, struggled with his timing initially against the mercurial Italian but with his opponent’s level fluctuating wildly he played solidly thereafter to win 3-6 6-2 6-2 7-6(5). But we can do it behind closed doors.How much are these tennis rackets these days? To see someone who has "earned" 16 million dollars smashing all his rackets in a pretend rage hardly sets much of an example for young kids from poor backgrounds who would like to make a career in the game, does it?Number 7 Living dead grlll. He needs to grow out of that behaviour if he is to progress to winning slams. He duly converted with a smash after softening up Struff with a series of punishing groundstrokes into the corners.After holding serve to take the opening set, Djokovic rolled through the next two in cruise control, making only 11 unforced errors in the one hour 33-minute workout.He will face either Italian Fabio Fognini or German’s Alexander Zverev in the quarter-final.Djokovic is bidding to become only the second man to hold all four Grand Slams simultaneously twice, having first achieved the feat three years ago when he won his only French Open title.Kei Nishikori extinguished the hot-headed Benoit Paire’s fiery challenge to book his place in the quarter-finals of the French Open with an error-strewn 6-2 6-7(8) 6-2 6-7(8) 7-5 victory on Monday.Local favourite Paire’s focus, or lack of, was the key to a match that was interrupted by failing light on Sunday, as the Japanese seventh seed set up a meeting with 11-time champion Rafa Nadal.The match resumed on Court Suzanne Lenglen at two sets to one, with Paire taking command in the fourth with an early break.He then wasted a chance to get another break and Nishikori eventually forced a tiebreak only to get tight-armed, wasting two match points on serve before handing a set point with an ugly double fault.Paire, who hit a woeful 79 unforced errors — including 16 double faults — this time converted. An ace will make him feel a little better. It was a necessary cushion as the Frenchman, finally hitting his stride, won four of the five following games. Zverev did so a few points ago too. It’s good to finish today after the rain yesterday. He's a very good player - he won the ATP finals, after all - but he wastes far too much time and energy on tantrums that he could put to better use by concentrating on his game. He's doing no favours to himself, the spectators or the sport. Tennis really doesn't need another Nick Kyrgios.The racquet smashing is a bit of a nonsense anyway; a player smashes a racquet and it gets a warning end of.

I'm still top 10 of the race. Zverev appears absolutly deflated. That was ugly. 30-40. Mental health is essentially an inability to stay in control. Thiem served for the set at 5-4 and Monfils could offer no resistance.There was more of a contest in the second set which went on serve until the ninth game, when Monfils hit long to hand his opponent a decisive break.The Frenchman had no choice but to applaud his opponent after the Austrian hit a winner with a between-the-legs shot after a quick exchange at the net. He somehow gets his return back at 30-all and goes on to win the point, getting a chance to break back at the first opportunity. I mean, I'm still number five in the world," he said. Of course Djokovic is the favourite for this quarter-final but Zverev could give him a match.Available for everyone, funded by readers.© 2020 Guardian News & Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

He certainly has the pedigree to do so, having beaten Djokovic in two of their previous four meetings - both in straight sets.It's a challenge that will be made more difficult by the fact that as usual Zverev took the scenic route through the early rounds of a slam. A deft drop-shot from Djokovic and it’s 30-all. Surprisingly, though, you have to go back to 2012 for the last time that the “Big Three” were all in the semi-finals of a slam together.Thiem, who hit the headlines this week via his press conference bust-up with Williams, is the fourth man in the mix. @a little piece of toast: So, Delpo is 'unlucky with injuries' yet Murray ISN'T?Interesting how an article about Zverev and Delpo can invite the same old gripes about Murray, from dubious quarters....It is clear Zverev's mental focus needs work if he is to take the biggest titles; that is the difference between him and Thiem at the moment. While Djokovic, Nadal and Federer share 52 major titles between them, three of the four remaining women have never even played in a slam semi before.

Two more double-faults offered Fognini another couple of chances to break, but Zverev fired down aces to save both.It proved a turning point as Zverev suddenly focussed on the job in hand and he broke the Fognini serve in the next game and then again to level the match. He was striking the ball sweetly again on Thursday , chalking up 35 winners against the world’s best defender. The quarterfinals of the 2019 French Open continue on Thursday, June 6, 2019 when No. There was little hint of an upset on Thursday in the two quarter-finals featuring world No 1 Novak Djokovic and last year’s finalist Dominic Thiem. The way it kept leaping up like a Curtly Ambrose bouncer, Khachanov must have felt like sending for body armour.“He was always putting me in tough situations,” said a philosophical Khachanov afterwards. But two zipping Zverev first serves and that’s the game.As for Thiem v Khachanov, Thiem is the best-placed player behind Djokovic and Rafa Nadal to win here. Some people liked him the most. But he’s oozing confidence here, with a comfortable hold for 3-3.Home Thiem races through the 1st set vs Silent K he is absolutely cracking the ball .Djokovic was 0-30 down in his first service game, 15-40 down in his second and he’s 0-30 down here. I think Sasha' s main problem is just focus. Make that 15-30,Both players are sucking for air; they’re working each other hard out there. Still, digging Zverev's vibe. In football players push and shove, spit and swear and crowd the referees and most of that behaviour goes unpunished but its always the tennis player who sets the bad example for kids. Zverev is lying on the red dirt after the fifth point of his service game when he tumbles trying to retrieve a drop-shot.A relentless Djokovic secures his fourth game on the spin, opening the second set with a love hold. Whether he loses his temper or not it doesn't appear his focus can last past 2 sets which is why his great at masters. As is his netted forehand volley on the next point. Let's see what happens,” said the 23-year-old Russian, whose pregnant wife was cheering him on during a dramatic win over Del Potro.The 25-year-old Thiem is still waiting for a maiden Grand Slam title, but was happy to reserve some energy in a straightforward win over dangerous Frenchman Gael Monfils last time out.“Of course it's very important, because, I mean, we all hope that we're here for two weeks,” he said. "So it's not that bad. Serving for the match, however, Paire dropped serve, and then did so again to allow Nishikori to lead 6-5 with his service to come.This time, Nishikori delivered to reach the Roland Garros last eight for the third time, although his display suggests he is unlikely to progress further, with Nadal resting on his 33rd birthday on Monday.Copyright © 2020 The Indian Express [P] Ltd.

The Serbian won his 33rd ATP Masters 1000 title at the Mutua Madrid Open (d. Tsitsipas) and also finished runner-up finish in Rome (l. to Nadal). Zverev’s coach, Ivan Lendl, hasn’t been in Paris this fortnight by the way. Temper isn't always a bad thing if it gets you playing well. Both men ousted their opponents in straight sets and the only real contest – given that they started simultaneously at 2.30pm – was the race to be the first back to the locker room.As it happened, Thiem got there first, having administered a 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 thumping to 10th seed Karen Khachanov in just 1hr 47min.

Alexander Zverev beat Novak Djokovic to win the 2018 ATP World Tour finals.Novak Djokovic faces the first true test of his bid to hold all four Grand Slam titles simultaneously for the second time in the French Open quarterfinals against Alexander Zverev on Wednesday.The winner of that match will face either last year's runner-up Dominic Thiem or big-hitting Russian Karen Khachanov, who knocked out Juan Martin del Potro in the fourth round.Djokovic has made serene progress through the first four rounds, losing just seven games on average in each match en route to a record-breaking 10th straight French Open quarterfinal.In stark contrast, Zverev has dropped four sets already and had to come through a five-set battle against Australian John Millman in the opening round, although his form against Djokovic will give him cause for optimism.The 22-year-old German won their only clash on clay in the 2017 Italian Open final, and also beat the Serbian star in last year's ATP Finals championship match, winning comfortably both times 6-4, 6-3.But Zverev had endured a mediocre clay court season until the eve of Roland Garros when he clinched the Geneva title, playing on a last-minute wild card.The 6ft 6in (1.98m) Zverev admitted that his patchy form in 2019 has also been impacted by off-court issues.He is involved in a legal battle with his former manager which has left him increasingly distracted.“I had to do a lot of things that I usually don't do, a lot of management stuff, a lot of lawyer stuff, so things that I'm not used to doing,” he said.Djokovic could become only the second man, after Rod Laver, to hold all four Grand Slams at the same time twice with a second French Open title this week, and is hoping the longer format could play into his hands against Zverev.“Sascha (Zverev) probably was not satisfied with his results in the big events before,” said the world number one.
