R.Nadal S.Tsitsipas vs. N.Kyrgios J.Sock - Laver Cup 2019 Highlights
Well, we kind of know what to expect from Team World and we certainly know what to expect from
Rafael Nadal on a double score but maybe the unknown quantity here the bigger unknown quantity
Stefanos Tsitsipas had a good start from Kyrgios
oh my goodness now you're spot on as you as we saw there he lands in the court here he goes
then there's power Ligon oh that's a brilliant start from Team World in such a manner it's
just too good it's too pacey look at the work that he gets on he hits it that hard and look
how short it ended up good stuff from Kyrgios the first Grand Sanctuary run he won with Vasic
but some of the finest reactions you'll see here from Tsitsipas good stuff you know it's interesting
because Kyrgios oh he's gone there's a bit of
World Wrestling to the reaction here was slightly delayed oh it was nearly
not sure it was delayed no it was nearly all over great hands from Jack Shock to stay
looking for the center just a tad early in a great pickup from Kyrgios he has so much talent at his
disposal look at this shot yeah really good hands and understanding of where his racket face is he
always has a lot of time to keep the strings on the ball that was a really good example
you know he held the face that when he's at net he's just looking straight down the court so he
hasn't got a natural instinct and flow to this and and that was for me the difference in that opening
if you were down there with Bjorn Borg
uttering a few words of wisdom and there are a few from Bjorn at times
whether the difference between the two teams will be six points madness yeah it is madness yeah
is this it
pass to the icing on the cake applied by Nadal but the quality of getting positioned in the court
and it's also important in the back and the top players just have it slightly better than others
and he saw the move just held it didn't he on the backswing allowed Kyrgios to commit
a little smile on his face starting to enjoy himself now he's got a bit of a lead here
in the second set four one hey it's maybe good like this maybe just we need to be a little bit
with the finger because they're watching
i didn't understand where you go
no just what is the same yeah well like this no let's say no let's go like this
stay you stay in the same place you know you go to this to the your place any finger you cross
okay that is an absolute comedy gem got a clue what he was showing him in the bag
absolutely brilliant he hasn't made too many cross court but it's made one down the line
now this second set has changed around
no great stuff team will keep the second set alive
we're on the brink of going into the 10-point match tiebreaker
not yet though smoking forehand
the mental game
played with himself but credit to Kyrgios for tracking the ball this tie break
previous rally jackson reads that one well well controlled didn't overplay
halfway there they're the australian
that is just brilliant
by both sides but ultimately team world too strong everybody felt they were the favorites but
it's not so important in terms of the fact that you still need to win two matches tomorrow but
psychologically that was huge absolutely it's big remember we start tomorrow with the doubles as well
i think we'll see
