Taylor Fritz (USA) v Tomáš Macháč (CZE) - United Cup Highlights | Wide World of Sports

[@kaperrrrrrrrr4228]

I dont know if this lack of tennis past month made that, but i lowkey enjoying this united cup highlights. This 9 minutes format suits me very good.

Tomas such a fighter. Hope he is ok and not injured

[@wwemario12345]

Trust me, he is fine.

[@kiesbett]

almost instantly machac has become one of my favorite players: his smooth style in general, his incredible backhand, his ghosting in on weak balls, his solid (but not that huge) serve. everything is there...

[@Mary-hx7wh]

@@kiesbett I totally agree. I think he has top 5 potential. I love to watch him even more than Alcarez.

[@J.-M.]

His physicality and mentality, though, is extremely poor. He cannot become a top player unless this radically changes. He repeatedly gives up matches because of cramps and other sores. This match was shameful, yelling at his coach that he doesn't give a s**t about the match anymore because he's cramping ("How the f**k am I supposed to play?"). Top players never do that, they always shut up and keep playing.

[@iansmirna5183]

@@J.-M. You have no idea what you're talking about. Great players as you say can't play either with cramps. He won't take risk of an injury before AO, this Cup is badly timed in the calendar. Top players would usually quit in these conditions and in Slams would try to go to toilets, call for physio 100 times, earn some time.

[@J.-M.]

@@iansmirna5183 I know what I'm talking about, that's why I'm saying it. Top players just don't act like that. No, they don't. That's why they're top players. Good players don't give up matches when they start cramping (and they don't yell profanities at their coaches hysterically for it). They keep playing. Always. Macháč's behaviour in this is so bad that he was even critiziced by his own Davis Cup captain after he did that in Davis Cup last year. And the Davis Cup captain never criticizes his own players for these things, it has to be really exceptionally bad when he says that.

[@diegosotomiranda4107]

​@@J.-M.lmao you can't be serious with the "profanities" maybe you dont understand serbian or spanish but oh bot Nadal and Djokovic swears a Lot In those moments, or when they're not playing well...and didnyou forget Murray exists? Another top player curses and swears every match like that...

[@Debra-p8e]

❤Great comeback by Taylor. Too bad the match was incomplete.

[@man75357]

9 minutes highlights are really good and much appreciated

[@iansmirna5183]

I freaking love Machac! One of the most enjoyable guy to watch playing and great attitude ;) I wish him speedy recovery. On a side note, it feels like many players are so focused to be ready for AO that they won't take risks before (Shang, Machac for instance).

[@JamminOnThe1]

Matcha is so self assured on the court. And he comes up with some stunning shots. To his credit, Taylor hung in the momentum started to go his way.

[@gnerd07]

from i saw his performance against Alcaraz late last year, I said this kid might have a pretty good season this year. Definitely watching the space on Machac

[@KowalskyLeon]

Gość mógł wziąć przerwę medyczną, dać sobie rozmasować mięśnie, gdzie czuł skurcze, nawodnić się, coś zjeść, odsapnąć. Mógł też wziąć sobie przerwę po przegranym secie. Nie orientuję się, czy w tym turnieju przysługuje zawodnikom dłuższa przerwa między setami, na łazienkę, zmianę odzieży. Jakoś tak podjął tę decyzję zbyt emocjonalnie moim zdaniem.

[@yonatane1478]

[@Pronkers]

I was there live, I saw him make eye contact with his coach, his coach looked furious when he lost that match point and then the next two sets. Towels were thrown at each other, the coach was yelling at him for the 2 minute break, looked like Thomas wanted to cry

[@raregoodds3143]

amount of players retiring before the matches finishes already in 2025 is crazy. come on at least let fritx serve the set out. Do playrs realise tow in aus open you need to win 7 on the trott lol.

[@PiotroVpl]

Why do they retiring so much?

[@falks941]

Why should he have carried on? Risking further injury just to let another player win the set. Silly attitude.

[@simuntigmo6220]

@falks941 risking further injury just to let another player win the set? you mean he couldn't just play those 2 points the lazeist he can and let Taylor get a win instead of retiring 2 points down?

[@falks941]

@@simuntigmo6220 What would the point of that have been? Fritz lost the first set, so it wouldn’t have been 1-1. What difference does it make to anyone if he lets Fritz win a set? It’s a stupid argument. If you’re injured and are aware that you cannot continue, retiring immediately makes sense to avoid risk of further injury. What does anyone gain from him handing Fritz a set?

[@dans459]

I think he probbaly felt that an injury was starting to develp in his legs, so he thought " if i play another set the injury is for sure, (being unable to play Aussie OPen) I better quit now".
