What a first round match

17 yo Rublev vs. 37 yo Haas :lol:

Rooting for Tommy

 

[Huckleberry Z.]

Haas, please, to teach Rublev a lesson in humility.

 

[nole_no1]

Wow what a match I would say Haas but if he doesn't win it in 2 I'm not sure

 

[leng jai]

Haas is simultaneously the most humble and unluckiest player of all time.

 

[zjtennis]

If Haas wins this I am not sure if Rublev could say that he could surely beat him next year if you know what I mean.

P.S. I do hope Haas still plays in the next year or 2.

Rublev was born the day after Haas reached his first ATP final. On the day he was born, Haas was ranked #43. How crazy is that?

Now we see if youth conquers wisdom...

 

[Kyrgyros]

Oh yes, what a match this is going to be! Fantastic news. Haasi in 3 after tough fight please.

 

[JamesXP]

20 year age difference Time for Haas to turn back the clock and school this little shit :yeah:

However, tbh Rublev has a great chance though since Haas is a fossil and is probably rusty.

Dad vs son :lol:

Luckily it's in a Challenger, if it was the first round of a 500 or 1000 it wouldn't be streamed.

Rublev after losing to Haas:

"In a year, I will beat him easily."

 

[leng jai]

20 years more choking vs running and ATP serving.

 

[MWW]

Wow. Interesting matchup in terms of age!

 

[AdamT]

Karlovic vs Zverev was 18 years and 2 two months difference. This one tops it by 10 months and is exactly 19 years.

It's funny how the ATP doesn't realize how stupid is this scenario. I've said this to myself a lot this year. There were like 4 matches I really wanted to watch and I thought "luckily it's a challenger tournament so I can watch the matches".

It's unbelievable how much ATP hurts its' own product. They don't even effin stream Grand Slam Qualifier FFS!
