Is Medvedev feeling the pressure now that's why he lost? He was really doing good this year and it seems that media is hyping him to be the next big player to come out and challenge the dominance of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer. However, I had a feeling that he succumb to tennis limelight this early and maybe he was out of focus. Or perhaps pushing himself very hard to chase Roger Federer, just saying.

Rolex Paris Masters results:

Big upset in this tournament, the hot streaking D. Medvedev lost to big hitting Chardy, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 . I haven't seen any clips of the match yet, but based on reports, Chardy didn't melt down and give Medvedev all he can handle. It also stopped Medvedev on it's track after winning back to back tournaments to put himself in the fourth spot of the rankings.

Yeah that is a big upset with the form that Medvedev has been in lately and now that will see him finish ranked 4th this year which is still a big achievement for an up and coming player. Next year is the year I think we'll see the top 3 ranks change and see a young talent up there.
Definitely this is a big upset because Medvedev has one of the best break out year we have seen so far. However, Chardy has other plans and with his experience, he was able to overcome Medvedev, although Medvedev really play very well.

Well, it could be, Medvedev is touted be the next super star of tennis so let's wait for him to mature next year and see how it is going to be.

Seeing his played especially in the last few months, I almost predicted he would be able to enter the finals in all the rest of the tournament this year.

Naomi Osaka pulls out from the WTA Finals due to shoulder injury, hope she will recovery soon, and start to prepare to retain AO tittle.

This is Roger Federer's home town so what do you expect from him? He is going to put a display here and that's why happened.
No one expected Alex De Minaur to defeat Roger Federer and so does the bookies as the odds were not that great for this final, i expected a comfortable win and that is what happened.

It's just sad that Alex De Minaur was the victim here. But no worries, he have gained so much experience facing the Goat in the finals and those experience are going to carry him in his future in this game. And for those who think that Federer is done? you're all wrong.
As you mentioned he is the reigning king in this circuit and Roger Federer just won his 103rd trophy in his illustrious career and no one thinks that he is done as you look at these tournament winner the top three will rotate and win every tournament round the year Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and  Roger Federer and once in a while Dominic Thiem will come in the final along with others and that is what we are seeing for a long time.

I know that no one has expected to Alex to win, but at least he can show some good tennis and not just melt down in front of Roger here.

There are tournaments that Roger was expected to win, but he didn't. That's why people are saying that he is done. But when you thought that he is on the way out, suddenly he shows his old form, so that what legends are made of.

De Minaur really does have gain so much experience from this finals and I'm sure he will bounce back in the coming tournaments. Federer is just too much for him basing on their scores and how confidently Federer played the game.

Yes, experience wise, De Minaur has gain so much from this experienced losing to Roger here. However, he fought hard reaching this finals but suddenly we was like at awe seeing Roger at the opposite of the court. I guess, Federer can intimidate his young opponents by just his mere presence, lol.

Alex de Minaur was no match for Federer and was simply outclassed, I was hoping that he could at least give Federer a challenge but it wasn't to be. Federer doesn't look like slowing down and I also think that he will eventually break the record for most titles and that could happen next year if he is able to stay fit and healthy.
Age is not slowing down Federer and the young Minaur was completely outclassed and he showed the difference between class and experience and as some of the opinions earlier it is a learning curve for the young Minaur as he is in his younger days of his career if he will take this as a learning experience then he will be able to improve his game, classic as always Federer as a fan i cherish these moments as we are witnessing greatness.

Exactly, when everyone is saying that Federer is old and grumpy, he shows us good tennis as evident of winning this trophy for a record what? 10 times, damn. He will remain in the third spot up to the end of the year. So it's going to be a catch up year in 2020 for those young and up-coming players again and try to break the top three, which is a very very difficult task again on the like of Alex, Medvedev and S. Tsitsipas and Thiem.

Rodger Federer won his 10th Basel title against De Minaur. It's just that De Minaur doesn't have the weapons to stop Federer bring home the trophy. 6-2 for Federer's win seems like an easy win for him and better luck next time for De Minaur.
Rodger Federer is a legend as he is still winning titles even at the age of 38 is just outstanding and he is nearing the record of Jimmy Connors and with the way he is playing tennis even at this age he will surpass that as he need just six more titles to earn that record, but winning 100 plus titles in itself in an astonishing feat. Alex de Minaur is a young talent and he is just 20 years old and it will be a great experience in his life.

Hah, I just took a nap and when I came back Federer already won. Well, we thought that Alex could somewhat push Roger here, however, as I have said, Federer is really showing this young guys how tennis should be played, LOL. Congrats for winning his 10th title.

Superb win by D. Thiem as well. As I have predicted, Thiem will make a comeback on the last 2 sets.  He gave up on the first set, but recovered and play. Thiem was broken 3 times in the first set, but bounce back as he broke Schwartzman early in the second set and never look back. Good win for Thiem, second trophy this month.

However, I think that Federer will win easily against De Minaur, no offense to Alex, but he can't just win against the experience of Federer in this court, plus this is his own turf.
That's right, Federer is very favored in this tournament, moreover this is his hometown.

Federer and De Minaur have never met before, I also think that Federer will win this match but hope it doesn't easily.

https://www.atptour.com/en/players/fedex-head-2-head/roger-federer-vs-alex-de-minaur/F324/DH58

Federer already leading 5-2 in the first set so his chances of winning his 10th Basel title are very good at the moment. Yes, Alex is a good player no doubt about that, but facing Federer in the finals is a daunting task for the Australian.

Vienna finals is also underway, Dominic Thiem lost the first set already, 6-4,    D. Schwartzman playing high level tennis, so it's going to be a good match for the two. I favored Thiem here, so let's see how it goes.

I would say that Stefanos Tsitsipas needs to go that hurdle and beat great players to be consider in the discussions as the new face of tennis, it's only Medvedev so far who has the chance to caught up Federer and break the top 3's dominance.

I am planning to do a parlay today with Roger Federer vs Stefanos Tsitsipas as i am expecting an straight win for Roger Federer  as he has a good record in Basel.
When it comes to Gael Monfils vs Diego Schwartzman both are playing well and this time i expect both to play a longer game and i am going with total games over 22.5 rather than predicting the winner Grin.
Anyone here betting for Matteo Berrettini to win, i am confused in this match up, i know last time they met Berrettini won but i feel like Dominic Thiem will win this one.

It was a straight set victory by Diego Schwartzman 6-3, 6-2 so I guess you have lost your bet in this match.

Dominic Thiem won against Matteo Berrettini, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3. Slow start of Thiem, however, he come back on the second set and dominated the third.

While Federer didn't give StefanosTsitsipas, 6-4, 6-4 here. I thought this match will go on a decided, but Federer is playing very high level tennis in this tournament.

I really thought that StefanosTsitsipas would give Federer more of a challenge like he did in the AO but he was no match for Federer. Now we have the final Federer v Alex de Minaur. If Federer wins then he will finish the year ranked number 3, I still think he does even if he loses. I'm going for Alex de Minaur only because I am Australian and would like to see him win, I just hope that he can give Federer a challenge and push him to maybe 3 sets.



Ironic mate, my boy Stefanos Tsitsipas is very inconsistent at this point. I really don't know if Federer has the big mental edge in this game or we are seeing Roger sort of getting in second win since he is obviously the crowd favorite to win this tournament. But Tsitsipas didn't offer anything during the match. Another player in my radar, Alex De Minaur, I hope he can give Federer a run for the money here. Goodluck mate, and let's see of Alex has what it takes to beat the legend in this tournament. Alex though was stretch too far in his previous match 7-6(2), 6-7(4), 7-6(3) against Opelka, good match to watch almost three hours of high level tennis.

Tsitsipas is a talented player and there’s no doubt about it, but now he needs to get consistent and start winning more matches otherwise he’ll never break into top 3. Alex De vs Federer shall be an interesting match, and I hope Alex wins it because it’ll be an huge achievement for the Australian to beat a legend like Federer.
