Another very very sad result for Rublo. Very disappointing!

 

Hahaha. Rublev and Ruud, what players. Somehow keep themselves in the top 15 of the ranking by getting good draws. But still manages to lose when getting these good draws.

Some of Andrey´s losses this year:
Marozsan X2
Kovacevic X2
Halys
Bergs
Tien
Royer

Ha-ha.

 

I am a Ruud fan but i think Rublev is easily better, he has far more top ten wins and over double the number of top 5 wins, he has also more masters titles and he has been far more consistent at getting into the second weeks at slams. Ruud has only his three slam finals over Rublev who also leads the head to head.

 

Amazing result for Royer and tennis fans! I've been saying for a while that Royer is the real deal and he's showing it here. When he gets that big 1st serve in, he's lethal. Hopefully he can keep going here.

 

So carrot already in off season mode?

 

Wow, Royer is lke 40 yo double speciliast, new low for Rublev

 

Royer is 24

 

expecterd.After all,rublo is a trash

 

People here are wasting their time talking about Rublev while sleeping on Royer. He's an athletic player with a big 1st serve, great movement and a nice all-court game. He's really added more power to his game in the last 6 months and I can see him going far.

Highlights

 

Looks like Rublev is worst every week.

I saw Royer in Cincinnati and the US Open. He has a good serve, but he is one of the slowest players I ever see, very vulnerable when out of his hitting zone.

Laughable loss for Rublo really.

Every time you post, it seems you know less & less about tennis. 😆

Peak MTF 😂

 

He has good serve and forehand. No way he is fast or has great movement.

Movement and speed aren't the same thing tho. You can be a good mover on tennis without having great speed. And you can have great speed and have poor footwork too.

 

I didn't watch this match. I watched Royer R1 vs Kovecevic. He's a very resilient player, and he also has a great 1st serve. I believe he can break into top50

 

 

Movement of Fonseca is decent, speed is poor tho

 

Royer inching closer and closer to my signature. I still struggle with the grunting though.

Fun to see him outhitting Rublev for fun. Doesn't happen too often that the Russian is faced by as powerful a forehand.

 

Rublev still around? Ughh.. Why

 

My deep commiserations to the thousands of MTF devoted fans to Sir Andrey Rublev, who genuinely thinks he is not just a fantastic tennis player, but also the nicest most kindhearted human being on tour, despite his wild on-court toddler tantrums.

Must be heartbreaking to be a fan of this loser.

 

Royer has steadily been improving and Rublev has obviously dropped off a bit as he is no longer a gatekeeper for the top 10. So not that surprising really. Andrey’s slam results this year:
AO 1st round
FO 4th round
Wimbledon 4th round
USO 4th round

 

The last week of July, Royer loses to Nicolas Arseneault and by September he is beating Rublev.

 

Gosh, I watched that match in Canada (for whatever reason) and it was beyond dreadful. To call it club level would be an insult to club level players. Hangzhou version of Royer is a completely different player.
I guess that's the thing with quite a few of Challenger guys — when everything clicks they could play extremely well but maintaining a certain base level is mission impossible for them. There's astronomical delta between their ceiling and floor and it's the floor that is probably more important for establishing yourself as a tour level player for years to come.
