RBA was up 6-0 4*-0 and got broken, missing a great occasion for the double bagel. It's a shame.
I know it's only Becker (and on clay), but RBA's performance was very good. The best he's played this year, surely.

Hopefully he is now really back on track.

That was GOATing, nothing less than goating :worship:

Benni :hug: :sad:

NID choke.

 

[MWW]

Quite shocked. If a bit of dirt is all it takes to build form! Meanwhile, Gulbis...

Unreal stuff from Del Pot...I mean Agut..Where does his FH rank in current forehands?

 

[zjtennis]

Why do players that attempt the Double Bagel they usually choke after that 10th game haha. Anyway, unreal stuff from RBA. FH was really on song. That's still crazy for him to maintain focus to get those games though. I don't think Becker exactly was playing bad (although he was quite down on himself around that early 2nd Set).

Brilliant, really everything was working for RBA until 6-0, 4-0! :worship:

 

[hazzard]

Very strong performance from RBA.

Becker on clay should be a dream draw for every player

 

[Capuccino]

Well, Becker is 47 years old. Plus he coaches nowadays so the result is not that bad actually.

Why on earth would you want Becker to get so humiliated on clay?
Becker came here for the prize money and maybe even get lucky with a clay mug in the first round.

Your beloved Bautista got schooled by Becker in the first set last year and should have lost
in that second set tie-break at Hertogenbosch.

I like Roberto, but 6-0 6-2 is enough humiliation as it is, don't you think?

Becker salutes Tomic on clay.
Madrid clay to be exact. :wavey:

 

[Uncle Latso]

not the clayest of clayers, but still such a gap.

Playing for the prize money alone is a good reason to get double bageled.

RBA beats a clay mug and Machine Gun acts as if RBA is suddenly rejuvinated... we'll see where his form actually is in round 2 vs a good clay courter (Kohli.
