  • Dimi vs Rune

    From grif@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 7 10:10:08 2024
    Well done to Dimi, continuing his great run of form from the end of last year. He showed great skills, good point construction, terrific athleticism and agility, and some eye-catching 1hbhs (his bh seems much better than Tshits). Importantly, he was also
    very cool and focused out there. There was 1 game that lasted 17+ minutes. I like Rune, but I'm glad Dimi finally won something again. I'm sure Courty would agree.

    Some other observations. This left-handed Chinese teenager, Jerry Shang, is an exciting talent and a helluva ball striker. He lost to Rublev in three, but showed a lot of promise in his tourney. He's another young player worth keeping an eye on. I think
    he also beat Shelton 2 times last year. With Q Zheng, it looks like the Chinese have a lot to look forward to.

    I can never root for Dimi, just been an underachiever way too long for
    me to ever respect him. Rune should have a big year, maybe get top 5
    and outside chance at a slam.

    Very interesting that Rios was coaching Shang for a bit before it got called off.
