French Open 2018 Roland Garros

Far better movement and belief from Cilic in this return game. Gulf between this and previous efforts in this match, hope it lasts and this match can get interesting.

Del Po too big at 1.7 for me

[Nero Tulip]

Del Po suddenly looks under all sorts of pressure on serve..

[Nero Tulip]

Cilic leading the forehand winners stat 18-1 ! Unbelievable.

[dragontrades]

Any thoughts on Del Potro's fitness should this go the distance?

[Nero Tulip]

I am awful at figuring out if he's tired or not... he already looks like he's walking in slow motion between points and to the chair, but I'm fairly sure he is not yet tired. Maybe it's more important to estimate perception, I reckon he will be looking even more tired if Cilic figures out how to play tennis again and takes it to a 5th. What a collapse from Cilic !

[Nero Tulip]

He really does look slow round the court though to me, especially to his forehand side, and that maybe explains his FH winner count. Maybe explains Cilic's seemingly distracted and flinchy performance, if he can perceive that he really should be winning this.. so many errors from him where he's not really hitting through the ball.

Cilic putting more balls into the net than Harry Kane

[Nero Tulip]

Happy to take a punt on Cilic here... no doubt he will now proceed to dump another 4 in the net and another 4 long of the baseline..

I forgot to mention double faults...

[dragontrades]

I like the drop shot play from Cilic, needs to keep the big man moving

[Nero Tulip]

There's so much money piling on Del Po. I guess they expect Cilic to fold.

[Nero Tulip]

Absolute purgatory as a Cilic backer when he hits yet another error..

[Nero Tulip]

There's so much money piling on Del Po. I guess they expect Cilic to fold.

And they were right..

Halep giving a real masterclass at the moment
