O Albertinho tem um diamante e certamente saberá lapidá-lo.

Curiously enough, #Jarry played offensive-minded tennis on clay, especially in critical moments, and got his reward.

Novak Djokovic is the 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 male tennis player in history to have won over 80 percent of his matches on every surface 🤯

My piece about #AO2024 's men's semi-finals for Euronews Português:

#Zverev has always been a threat to anyone when he's serving off the charts, esp. on hard courts. Putting in 85% of his 1st serves is something to write home about.

Steep disparaties in #Alcaraz 's level remain a puzzle to me. Where's the dominant guy who won Wimbledon last year?

Break point conversion rate tipped the balance in favor of Nuno Borges:

🇵🇹 57% (4/7)

🇧🇬 8% (1/12)

Nuno delivering under pressure and making a qualitative leap forward in his career.

.Hamad Medjedovic proving he's the real deal.

Drops 230 km/h bombs - only got broken twice in 5 matches - & clobbers the ball off both wings.

With a lot of room for improvement (slice & movement), Hamad could go a long way and define a generation.

#DavisCup organizers are struggling to sell tickets for the Sunday final.

Scores of them still available on the official website 🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫

#Djokovic did not really lend them a helping hand.

1st serve really was the missing piece of #Sinner 's game.

He can obviously work on his net game but he is now ready to fight for a Grand Slam - endurance seems OK - and sure is amongst the favorites in Melboune.

#Sinner Djokovic

#Djokovic had the upper hand in 3rd set but #Sinner 's serve was again the deciding factor, pulling him back from the brink at 4-5, 0-40.
Nole then lost his bearings while Jannik showed emotional maturity - a big shout-out to Cahill & Vagnozzi.

A CBF Futebol tem de reorganizar o futebol brasileiro urgentemente ‼️

E já agora começar a recuperar o poder perdido na CONMEBOL.com. A seleção do #Brasil e os clubes brasileiros são sempre roubados. Dá dó. Resultado da indolência brasileira.

There's no such thing as 'the GOAT according to stats'.

Greatness in sports can only be gauged by performance metrics.

A fair-minded & informed observer/analyst willing to be taken seriously in any debate can't help but deem Novak Djokovic the greatest tennis player of all time.

#Djokovic 's finest performance since this year's #AusOpen . Masterful serving display - lost only 3 pts on 1st serve. His return lessened the strength of Sinner's revamped serve.
Nole's unique ability to hit deep shots safely made him boss rallies like no one does. #ATPFinals2023

#Sinner 's much-improved serve does explain why his game is soaring to great heights ⤴️

This week in Turin he has so far averaged a 1st serve winning percentage of about 8⃣4⃣%

#ATPFinals2023
#Sinner Medvedev
#Torino

#Alcaraz - 84% of 1st serves; only 62% of pts won behind it.

There's not much you can do when #Djokovic 's return is in ruthless mode.

A 36-yr old made light work of a 20-yr old without playing his best tennis consistently ‼️
