Sarasota Ch D F: Tristan Boyer/Oliver Crawford def. Ethan Quinn/Tennys Sandgren 6-4, 6-2 Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

T. Boyer/O. Crawford started to press more on Ethan/T. Sandgren from their first strike returns, which also went hand-in-hand with their final shot execution on the extended rallies as they maintained the balance. Willing to poach when the timing was right, it also was found that O. Crawford played the better net game, which carried the pair as they nailed it remarkably, especially in the second set. As a result, T. Boyer/O. Crawford had 10 opportunities to break despite their 30% break point conversion rate compared to Ethan/T. Sandgren's 2.

Besides, T. Boyer/O. Crawford appeared more consistent on their serve. Scoring twice more aces than Ethan/T. Sandgren with 4 to 2, they were exceptional in their first serves as they won 78% of their first serve points, 16% more than the latter, which was sufficient to get them out of some troubles. However, while this might be T. Sandgren's serves that appeared more attack-prone, their 4 double faults resulted in their low second serve winning percentage at 20%, 44% lower than T. Boyer/O. Crawford.

Interestingly, this turned out to be O. Crawford's second overall professional doubles title, his first in the Challenger level, while this was T. Boyer's maiden doubles title in all levels (and his first in the Challengers as well). While most of their next Challengers are in Tallahassee, Ethan will play with Mitchell Krueger and will face third seed Scott Duncan/Federico Agustin Gomez in the first round, while Tristan Boyer will play with Tennyson Whiting and will play against first seeds William Blumberg/Luis David Martinez in the same round. Should be a fun follow there!

At the time of their 1973 exhibition tennis match in Battle of the Sexes (2017) Billie Jean King was 29 and Bobby Riggs was 55. At the time of filming, Emma Stone was 28 and Steve Carell was 54.

The film was photographed by Linus Sandgren. Linus also photographed Emma in her Oscar winning La La Land.

T. Boyer/O. Crawford appeared firmer in the second set, controlling most of the flow after breaking for the first set. There, right in the second game of the second set, T. Boyer's preceding forehand caused T. Sandgren's failed smash to set he & O. Crawford one point ahead at the third point, where they broke to 2-0 thanks to T. Boyer's backhand as well. They then consolidated to 3-0, but had a slight dip as they got first-struck by Ethan/T. Sandgren two games later (3-2), which game ended with a double-fault.

However, Trollie responded through their defenses, which was concluded with T. Boyer's final smash to secure the break-back to 4-2 before they consolidated to 5-2. Since then, they had not looked back, capitalizing on Ethan's failed final volley to secure their match point before it was converted due to Ethan's double-fault, hence they completed their trolling and took the second set 6-2, eventually securing them the doubles title.

The great escape continued for Roger Federer at the Australian Open 2020 as he defeats Tennys Sandgren 6-4, 2-6, 2-6, 7-6(8), 6-3 in the quarterfinals.

so i have wimbledon on and

Around 30 minutes upon the conclusion of their respective matches, Tristan Boyer/Oliver Crawford (hereby referred to as Trollie), who stunned Evan King/Mitchell Krueger 3-6, 6-4, [14-12] in an epic semifinal, faced Ethan Quinn/Tennys Sandgren, who also defeated Thomas Fancutt/Hunter Reese 6-3, 2-6, [10-7] in another rollercoaster ride at the almost same time. With both pairs being singles frequents, this could be interesting in terms of their point construction, with the extended rallies also being tested outside of the servefests.

The fourth game somehow started with an out-poaching contest as O. Crawford's volley poached the earlier baseline exchange for them to minimize the gap before Ethan did a similar thing prior to their service game hold to 2-2. Interestingly, Ethan/T. Sandgren managed to hold their serves from 0-30 down to 4-4 after withstanding the first strikes from T. Boyer/O. Crawford, with O. Crawford's backhand return went after a +1 error from Ethan/T. Sandgren to lead 2 points.

It took two games later before Trollie's first strikes created an impact. T. Boyer's first-strike forehand return paved the way before O. Crawford's first-strike backhand created the set point moments later, all resulting in Ethan/T. Sandgren's failed volleys. The latter also converted the set point despite surviving 2 of its saving, where Trollie ended up breaking for the first set 6-4 (and did that little trolling) to set themselves a set ahead to the title.
