The live TV coverage of Monte Carlo open is the worst ever. They put the camera so high up, you call only see two tiny figures running side to side and ball is nowhere to be seen. Plus, the blazing sun makes it even harder to spot the ball. Worst ever coverage!
I've seen a comment that it's a deal they signed with the sponsors to ensure their advertisements can be seen clearly on media coverage. $$
I was just going to ask if my eyes have gone bad or wut, because even on the TV I am having a hard time picking up the ball. Guess I'm not the only one.
@Birdylockso oh okay, now it makes sense. I could barely see the ball and was cursing the network.
Come on man its not that bad!
Yep - it’s almost impossible to see the ball. You have to really strain your eyes to pick it up. Awful TV coverage.
I'm glad all the casuals, who were confidently swearing Tsitsipas is a finished player, now seeing him win another masters title. Chears to them
It's a shame Ruud can't get over the hump of winning a big final but Tsitsipas can give himself all the credit in the world for putting himself back on top where he belongs.
Oui après Ruud gagnera un jour un masters 1000 sur terre battu, il manque juste un peu d’expérience
Lol even if he wins this then yall would say he cant get over the hump of winning a slam final.
@@DungxxHenwhat? I like Ruud and wish the best for him, I'd have loved for him to finally get a big title.
He is the king of ATP 250. While the higher ones are all runner up
He's just won 500 points and is sitting firmly in the top 10. I'd say Ruud is doing just fine.
People forget that Tsitsipas almost bagged the 2021 FO and was 2-0 up against Nole. The clear difference is that on clay, Tsitsipas has time to load , prepare, and unleash his backhand, even Sinner was struggling to return those heavy topspin backhands to his BH. Obviously, Ruud faced the same issue.
When i saw ruud's poor performance. That made me feel that djokovic got robbed just like what sinner had suffered when he was 4-2 against tsitsipas on 3rd set. But, tsitsipas deserves to win, somehow cuz he has helped djokovic extend no. 1 for 5 weeks!
@@wimzswimz9843 Gosh! You are right about extending Djokovic's #1 spot. That's very interesting.
Great comment about Tsitsipas' big kicking top spins.
Agree completely on the extremely heavy one handed top spin backhands. Even with a two handed as efficient as Sinner, he was putting a tad short, which allowed Tsitsipas to dictate the points, especially evident in the first set.
@@Birdylockso Thanks. The tennis is interesting cuz of big 3 + murray and wawrinka. But federer had retired, nadal is injured, murray and wawrinka are outdated. But djokovic is the last man standing as the member of old generation cuz he did spectacular job since last year until now. Anyway, imagine, djokovic got 5,100 points to defend after winning US open 2023 until australia open 2024, but he stayed no. 1 after then while alcaraz has to lose bunches of points after australia open 2024 cuz of his injury. That's why djokovic is special cuz he stays in no. 1 despite his age has been nearly 37.
It's pleaser to see Stefanos plays an aggressive game, and don't be afraid to go forward and going down the line with his beautiful one handed backhand. MAGIC ✨✨✨
Congratulations Tsitsipas! Few people would have expected him to win this tournament. He is not only handsome but also good at tennis.
So nice to see a 1 hand backhand winning! Let’s go Tsitsi!
❤ Love the name TITSI 😂
Really happy for Tsitsipas, who has been struggling of late, to see him win an ATP men's 1000 tournament. You can feel his elation that he finally got the monkey off his back. After bursting on the scene when he was 19 years old, he was one of the hottest tennis players with a one-handed backhand. Let's hope this victory sparks his confidence to more victories ahead.
Casper had absolutely no belief in his backhand today, the amount of times he ran around it and left too much open court really made him pay the price.
The ball was bouncing too high because of the amount of topspin from Tsitsipas's backhand
Stef is 2 time Monte Carlo champion coming into this event. He was going to be very tough to beat.
Big weakness in his game. He often runs around his backhand when the ball is extremely wide in his backhand side. Most of the time its not that the forehand then does much damage in this situation. So he is making the situation often worse for himself with a very open forehand side. He has to do something about his backhand or he will always lose those bigger finals.
It's not that simple. Roddick had a more accurate take on Olive Oil's strategy during TC Live.
It was awful - got exposed to the FH side so many times. But the truth is his BH is up there with Berretini and Tsonga and Ivanovic for being so much weaker than their FH side - I have literally NEVER seen Casper hit a flat BH winner. It’s way too loopy a shot and he doesn’t have the depth control on it that other players do
Tsitsipas's top spin backhands are pretty effective on this high-bouncing court, holding up against Ruud attacks and his forehands were just free-flowing today.
Looks like a bit of a technical adjustment too. Before they were too loopy now more penetrating like a thiem or Stan
As much as the one-handed backhand is a beautiful stroke to watch, unfortunately, it is a weakness against top-ten players who can easily exploit those weaknesses. The stroke requires a lot of strength and timing to generate the heavy topspin and throughout long rallies, one-handed players are more prone to errors than their two-handed counterparts.
@@mattDJmel this happens every clay season. I don't think there is any technical adjustment. lets see how he does once clay season ends.
Yeah, it's like his biggest weakness becomes a weapon. That's why he is so much better on clay.
Tsitsipas was controlling the ball from the very start. His single hand backhand is like a missile. Beautiful to watch. He has lot of confident of winning the title from the beginning. Playing very confidently and consistently from the beginning. I'm really very happy for him.
Tsitsipas one hand backhand control is a piece of art
Better in all departments than anybody this whole week… Just deserved it all!! 😊
Stefano played a huge tournament. Congratulations to him, well deserved🎉
Παμεεε!! 🇬🇷🤍🇨🇾
Congrats to Tsitsipas for his hat trick in Monte Carlo! He now joins a very elite club of players with at least three Monte Carlo titles: Rafa Nadal, Björn Borg, Ilie Nāstase, and Thomas Muster.
Nice stats
He was always great on clay! Now looks even better than past years! Both could do very well at RG!!!
Man I can't express in words how happy I am for Stef. That loss to Novak really took the wind out of his sails for the past few years. Now he seems to have some confidence again. He is a force on the clay. Happy for him.
After i saw ruud's disastrous performance against tsitsipas, i found out djokovic got robbed
@@wimzswimz9843 not necessarily. Most guys lose the next match after beating the big three. It took a lot from him mentally and let's be honest, a confident Stef on clay is a hand full even for an in form Novak. So ruud had to play another amazing match to win. He couldn't. Simple
@@taiwanbound5771 That's right. But, as a result djokovic's time to defend no. 1 only lasts for only 4 weeks cuz he doesn't have many points to strengthen his no. 1 if something worse happens in roland garros 2024 just like what did after australia open 2024
@@wimzswimz9843 honestly I don't mind if Novak never plays tennis again. Sowwy
@@taiwanbound5771 Why? Have you been bored with him?
Hope Tsitsipas could play the same level in French open and have a slam title!
Hope he plays better cause his serve was under 50%. But otherwise, stellar
If Tsitsipas plays like this at Rolland Garros, he could be a great bet. The dude is a monster on clay when on form.
is too soon, but i think Carlos is gonna win RG. Would be a nice final Alcaraz vs Tsisipas
❤
@@jscab7140 I'm a big Carlos fan but right now it's concerning since he's pulled out of Barcelona because of the wrist/forearm injury. That's 2 back-to-back clay tourneys he's pulled out of so if he was in good health he's at the top as a favorite to take RG but even if he's not 100% I'd be hard pressed to think he can take out some of these top clay court players like Tsitsi, Novak, etc.
Carlos is good but I think he is gonna retire in the 3rd round of RG due to an injury
@@DaHammerOfGod Pulling out of MC not a biggie but pulling out of Barcelona does seem concerning... maybe Carlos just wants Rafa to win one more before retirement. 🤣
Tsitsipas looks to be fit. He's got that extra bounce in his step.
Congrats to Stef, 3 titles in 4 years is impressive. Commiserations to Ruud - keep at it, a big title is within reach!
Thank you so much. Next time i will try to win. Cheers. Yours truly -Rasper Cudd
@@ragas2845 Casper hoping that the ATP Shop will start accepting trade-ins on 250's. 2 for a 500 etc.
How many people did that?
@@just2share only 5 players won MonteCarlo for 3 times or more.
@@ragas2845🤣
Stef finally figured out how to hit backhands again, and just in time 🎉
Stefanos Tsitsipas is a very good clay court player. He can win RG someday. If he can avoid distractions and give 100% to Tennis, he can become a great player.
Well, very competitive encounter. Great strokes. Credit and respect to both guys. Stefanos was on fire. It's a pitty Casper was not able to get one set out of it. He deserved a three setter but Stefanos proved again he rules on clay in Monaco
Good win for Tsitsipas beating #2, 5, 8, 12 to win.
Stef played extremely good this week. Well deserved title. Expected Ruud to do better this time. He is one of the nicest guys on the tour and to reach so many finals and lose is just sad. Hopefully he gets a big title soon.
Tack för en trevlig prat om Ruud. 🌸🇸🇪
Agree.
Tsitsipas reminding us what he`s capable of....with many god mode moments....impressive!
I was rooting for Casper to win his 1st MC title but am congratulating Stefanos on his 3rd one. He totally deserves it.
Persistence and hard work pays off, well done Tsitsipas!
How pleasant is to watch a match without hearing a single moaning
Tsisipas playing like this on clay is a real contender to win French Open
He is in a great shape. Backhand is safe. Amazing performance
Well done tsitsipas you surprised all of us
Show the haters how its done Steph. Well done champ !
Who's Steph?
@@piner74 another ass
I’m no Tsitsioas fan, but good god does he look confident and athletic out there on this court. I’m happy for him, he seems like he has a pretty tough mental life; he could use a bit of a breather.
Tsitsipas's forehand is monstrous. Seems like work has gone into the backhand too.
Ruud wasn't playing like someone who wanted to win this match. Well done to Tsitsipas for an amazing tournament.
Lovely to see Tsisipas's one handed back hands 👏👏❤
LONG LIVE THE ONE HANDER!!!! A HUGE WIN NOT JUST FOR TSITSIPAS BUT OUR SPORT AS WELL!!!!
True!
The good sportsmanship at the end is incredibly touching.
This test result at Monte Carlo, is a boost for Steffanos Tsitsipas. He can compete in Rolland Garros, with better Confidence and Hope..
When at 100% tsitsi reminds me of those old school clay players like corretja, kuerten or ferrero. So cool to watch those heavy lifted fh and bh… he could do big things in paris if he remains at this level.
He wasn't even at 100% in this match. That's how good Stef is.
Stefanos deserved this one. Played well
Great to see Tsitsi back in good shape. The best is that he tries to go to the net and wants to finish with volley. Go on this way !!
Bravo He deserves this He’s been working hard Back where he belongs He’s very good 👍🏼
Tsitsipas had such an outstanding tournament! It was a comeback all of his fans were waiting for. He silenced some of the doubts his critics and his fans had about him coming back to form and being able to to put it all together again and win big! He did and he won big! His back hand looked great all week. He hit it with variety and confidence. He came to the net and was super successful. His 1st serve was there when he needed it! But most of all, as he stated, he was fearless, he went for it, didn't hold back and was rewarded with the win and trophy! Beautiful Monte Carlo, beautiful win and beautiful show of emotion from Tsitsipas! ❤😍 Congratulations and thank you for making your fans so happy and proud!
I like both but wanted Stefanos to win, happy for him. This meant a lot.
Congratulations Stefanos for the quality of tennis and wining Monte Carlo 2024!🎾🏆. Viva Greece!🎉 Regards from 🍁
Tsitsipas just has too much fire power on his shots for Ruud to be able to cope. BRAVO, Stefanos!
Bravo🎉! Tsitsipas’s key was his backhand, he was hitting it with the same accuracy and pase as his forehand in this final.
Two of the best guys on tour, no drama, no whining, just pure tennis. So glad for Stef, he is now where he belongs on rankings. I really hope Ruud will win a major title, he is so humble, so classy, so calm and so likeable!
👍🇬🇷🇸🇯
What a nice humble guy rudd is ..love that❤
nice guy sure but in his case nice guys only win 250's. still has that long-time monkey on his back.
Who? Paul Rudd?
Can't wait to come back to this comment when he cracks the big tourney @@huzcer
@@2499517 people have been saying that for years about Rudd and it has never happened. as I said elsewhere - there will always be at least one player at a bigger tournament in better form than him - it's no coincidence that that has been the case for years and it's likely to be always the case. plus the fact that he's just accumulating more and more baggage for the next final if there is one. I can't think of anyone on the ATP who lost as many 6 Big title finals and then went on to win one.
@@2499517 who else has lost 6 big title finals in a row before winning one?
It's amazing how he could win hitting an invisible ball big props to him!
Holy Trinity 🔓 after Rafa's dominant never to be replicated 11 titles here, Stefanos in elite company. Congratulations 🎉
With such good players and guys we are hopefully going to enjoy many more years of great tenis☺️
Tsitsipas became the only active player (not named Nadal) that has most Master 1000 trophies than Djokovic in a single Master 1000 event ( Monte Carlo).
Good stats
Well deserved, who can defeat Sinner worth lifting that trophy.
Fan of the one hand, wow you had some amazing strikes. Well done!❤
Happy for Stef! Awesome week for him.
Well done Stephanos !!! One hand backhand players are Back !!
After a long time Stefanos is 🔙
Veni, vidi, Tsitsi.
Tsitsipas is an absolute monster on clay. I was considering laying down some money on him to win the French at +2000 odds and am kicking myself lol, that line is definitely going to move now.
I placed a large bet several months ago
You will lose the money either way. Not gonna happen.
@@Birdylockso +2000 though, i will roll the dice. Anything can happen and dude has been to the finals before.
Will be out first round 😂
Thank you. I will try to win Fresh open this year. Best wishhes -Stepfanos Sitsifas
Lots of plays from Federer books by Stefonas. Beautiful
Fed with 0 Monte Carlos (or Rome). (and who lost 24 of 28 times in his quest to win either before he quit clay to guys not called Nadal).
Like him or not, you can't deny Tsitsipas really got games, especially in Monte-Carlo. 1 time you can call it a fluke, but the fact that he was able to do it B2B & won 3 in 4 years, is pretty damn impressive. Maybe people should just let go of the hate and enjoy the moment...
dont get why people hate him so much
👏 Tsitsipas also got game on all surfaces.
@@iceman1125personality
@@samueljang1902 there are much worse guys on tour than him
@@iceman1125 Several reasons. 1) He is the reason on-court coaching is no longer illegal - he flouted that rule so badly that they gave up trying to enforce it. 2) He smashed his father in the elbow hard with his racquet court side without so much as an acknowledgement, never mind an apology. 3) He uttered nationalist slurs against his opponents audibly on court. 4) He hit a ball hard at the audience. He has variously acted like an entitled brat. But that's tennis for you. kzhead.info/sun/admfirB7faFvdGw/bejne.html
Tsitipas forehand is top tier
Is it crazy to think this is Stefs best chance for a RG win? ❤
He sure is one of the favorites but if he faces Alcaraz I think Alcaraz has had his numbers!
Alcaraz, sinner, stefs, zverev is favourites
Stefanos deserved this title, and the French Open is another opportunity.He would have beaten Novak as well.I was cheering for him.
Lezgoooooo Stefanos! You show them who's the hairy beast on clay! 🤣🤣🤣 Backhand looking strong af, forehand and net game always superb. Stef won this match serving under 50%, imagine what he'll be like on clay when he serves at his usual percentage. 😱 Tough for Casper, he probably had a let down after finally beating Nole - would've liked to have seen Casper's tweeners in the highlights. But you can tell these two guys' movement on clay is exceptional. Thanks again Tennis TV for the 8 minute highlights!
I thought Ruud would be able to overpower him with those missile serves and forehands, but Tsitsipas had a plan, incredible focus all tournament, well deserved win.
Rafa absolutely dominating on Clay, Prime Roger bossing on Grass and Djokovic prevailing on Hard Court and Corona was just a beer. The good old days, never to come back.
Stefanos looks like he's got a bit of Guga Kuerten in him on clay with the one-handed backhand, similar hairstyles and builds albeit Tsitsi may be more muscular. Reminds me a lot of Guga and how both play great on the red clay.
Ppl
Guga was superior
@@taopaille-paille4992 Obviously he was he did win 3 RGs before Nadal emerged to take over the throne. Nowhere in the post did I say Stef was better, there are just similarities that both share.
@@DaHammerOfGod if I remember correctly, Guga backhand was a bit less moon ball than Tsitsi. My memory fades away because I saw all the matches of Guga at French open throughout the years but I don't remember quite clearly his style to make a definite statement in comparing his game to Tsitsipas. Guga would go down the line more often I think too (I think absolute confidence on his down the line backhand, which he never had unlike Guga or Wawrinka, is what would allow Tsitsipas to win french open)
@@taopaille-paille4992 The similarities are more superficial, one-handed bh, flowing locks of hair tied in a bandana, etc. If you're going into the minutiae like you are then I agree there are some slight variances in there overall swing patterns and shot selection. My statement wasn't to be taken at a granular level.
Tsitsipas roars like a lion again. Good job, Stefanos!
He deserves it went through lots down then up, congrats 👏 bro
Stefanos playing aggressive on his backhand side is a beautiful thing
This is the Tsitsipas I grew to love ❤️ I'm super happy rn, I'm glad his career isn't ending yet
Tsitsipas is now serious contenders of french open after rafa
What do you mean "after Rafa"? Nafal will lose in the first week
Rafa ya no existe, es un cartucho quemado, por dignidad ya debería retirarse, pero su ambición y obsesión por estar cerca de Nole lo hace ver ridículo, entiede, Nadal ya fue; y con el gran rey Novak, así será.
Congrats 👏 👏 👏 Stef. 3 Monte Carlo wins. I hope you win a GS soon.
Tsitsipas started to hit the ball with his backhand again, instead of slicing all the time, gained some confidence on it and what an improvement, almost no unforced errors and no slicing
I don't understand the "no slice" policy, it's a great táctic to defend and change the pace of the rally or build an attack, it was just stef slice was too poor that was a liability, a good slice would benefit him a Lot to mix between points and win time to unleash his fh, specially outside clay
If things continue as they have… Tsitipas SHOULD win French open He’s built for it . I hope he stays the course and wins it . Happy for him
I feel so good now, seeing one handed backend player winner master title, moreover on clay court 😊
Some of Tsitsipas’s serve and volley points could have been included. That was a surprising tactic in the second set. He played one outstanding half-volley. Also where is Ruud’s tweener lob?
Just too solid, he stayed patient but in attack mode!
💪🔥💪🔥💪🔥🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 Tsitsipas, Ruud , Djokovic , Sinner , Alcaraz....they all play very hard tennis this season, with strong long shots keeping opponents mostly on the line !!!! Monte Carlo was great preparation for RG 2024 !!!!! 👈👍👍👍👍
Fantastic one-hand backhand shot finally won the game.
Tsitsipas the new king of Monaco.
Stefanos's BH has finally come around‼
Never saw so many smashes from one player in a highlights reel
Well deserved Stef, your backhand has improved a lot...
Still not gonna work on grass and hardcourts.
@piner74 why bring those at the start of the Clay season? Nobody says about hard court specialist that "well that Will not work on clay" when they win a tournament
Stef's footwork was out of the ordinary. It was too fast.
Way to go Tsitsipas back on top where he belongs he is great on clay, lets get it going man. And a couple of words for my fellow Greek, πάμε δυνατά ρεεεεεε 🏆🇬🇷
μπραβο φιλε μου....αυτη δεν ειναι και μονο η αρχη
Anyways congrats to Stefanos ! Good to have him back to his best
Sad for Ruud, but SO GOOD for STEF! That's how you SHUT THE MOUTH to all the stupid haters!!!!
BRAVO TSITSIPAS!!
Stef has more Monte Carlo titles than Djoko now. 😱 This year is his best chance to finally win his first slam.
Well, Djoko played in the Prime Nadal era. There were not many clay court titles left for others 😅
on clay only on clay i think but yes he is now one of the favorite to win Roland Garros.
@@andresimon5654 I said Monte Carlo titles. So of course it's on clay.
Thank you. I will try to win Fresh open this year. Best wishhes -Stepfanos Sitsifas
@@ragas2845 You need to learn how to spell your surname Stef. 😜
Congratulations Tsisipas my favorite athlete,keep it up and best wishes for a grand slam too.
Tsitsipas on the net is very good. He gets a lot of points
"Fate favours the fearless" Well done Stef!
Stefanos Tsisipas king of monte carlo!!!❤
Prince. I love Stef and have been a loyal fan even when fickle fans were turning on him, but c'mon, Rafa has 11 titles in MC. It's good to be a prince, less pressure. 🤣
Prince because Monaco is a Principality😁
I hope Tsitipas can also win the Roland Garos Grand Slam
