debut win of
@ZizouBergs
against Kotov (ATP 60): 6-2 4-6 6-2 3-6 7-6(10-7). The level went up and down depending on the set but the real consistent part of the match was ZIZOU's (fighters)heart and passion to win.
๐disappointed & very proud at the same time.
@ZizouBergs
showed his fighters heart & never gave up. Even at 2 sets down and 0-7 & 3-8 in match tie break. Proud that he can play +4,5 hr in good physical state. Time for a break before part 2 of the season. Keep going ZIZOU๐ฅ

tennis is brutal. Zizou was leading 7-5 4-2 and 40-0 on sweenyโs serve when the heat overtook zizouโs body. He kept fighting but could not move anymore. It became 5-7 and at 0-2 in set 3 zizou bursted into tears. So emotional for us. You want to play and win (1/2)

This is the overview of all Belgians that have reached a top 100 position in ATP singles. 19 famous names and
@ZizouBergs
is now part of Belgian tennis history. Letโs see where he can end in this list
For the Bergs!
Zizou Bergs qualified into Roland-Garros & Wimbledon this year but won't have to go through qualies at the US Open.
And, if he keeps this up, he might not have to qualify at a slam for a long time.
The Belgian takes out 6th seed Tomas Etcheverry, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.
Unfortunately no Bordeaux for Zizou. Small physical issues. We take no risks in light of Roland Garros. Back to Belgium to get proper treatment and preparation for RG. Tough but wise decision. CU in Paris ๐
Day+1. What shall I say? ZIZOU played with a big heart, love & mentality. He has created a new vibe in Belgian tennis whereby everybody, regardless language or culture is proud of Belgian tennis. let's keep working hard to realize our dreams& to inspire Belgian tennis talentโค๏ธ
I think ZIZOU was 1 point away of R3. Not converting 4 set points at 5-3 gave Cobolli wings and Zizou recovered only at 0-2 in set 4. Winning set 3 would have been the other way around. But that is the difference of 50 spots in the ranking. We are making steps but still have to
Very unfortunate for
@ZizouBergs
. Was so close (4 set points) of being 2 sets to 1 up but Cobolli ends up winning 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-3. Zizou fought hard, played well, showed that he belongs at this level. But it will sting a bit...
#USOpen2024
ITF has published the list of selected players today. We are awaiting the official selection by the BOIC. That selection will be done this Saturday 6 July am. Needless to say that we are looking forward to Saturday.
OFFICIEL ๐จ
Zizou Bergs sera prรฉsent aux Jeux Olympiques pour dรฉfendre la Belgique ๐ง๐ช
Le Tennis se jouera sur les terrains de Roland Garros, une surface quโil connaรฎt trรจs bien maintenant ๐
Over and out for today. Match cancelled and moved to tomorrow. What a shitty day. Respect for players who can handle this. Tomorrow we are back : 2nd match after 11:00. Allleeezzz ZIZOU
Dreams come true. ZIZOU at
@rolandgarros
meeting
@AppelmansSabine
exactly 16 years ago when ZIZOU was 9 years young, dreaming of playing there once himself.... Keep living your dreams!
@ZizouBergs
you do live your dreams. Top 100โ We worked so hard for this moment. Nobody know really what it takes to realize this. Makes me emotional. Bompie, dad, this one is also for youโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ Thank you all for the great support. Highly appreciated!
Hello tennis fans. On behalf of

Never give up. The 4 highest ranked eliminated players will be elected for - at the moment - at least 1 LL spot. Zizou will be part of the 4 nominees. Letโs see if this can lead to a LL spot.๐
Time to invest. Welcome to
#TeamZizou
: Sam Verslegers (osteo+fitness trainer), Bjรถrn Simon (ass.coach+data analyst), Nestor Vicente (nutritionist) & Andy Baert (6D). With Ruben Bemelmans (head coach), G-J De Muynck (ass. coach+psychologist) & Juan Acuna (IMG) we continue... (1/2)

My heart breaks watching this image. ZIZOU unable to compete due to injury and has to retire at a score of 6-3 6-7(5) 3-2. Such a pityโฆ I do not find more words. Sorry
Marseille ATP250.
@ZizouBergs
vs Holger Rune 6-1 3-6 4-6. More than 2 hours of great tennis where ZIZOU pushed Rune to the limits. Adrenaline kept him in the match even at 1/4 in set 3. He is a fighter and getting closer to ATP level every day. Proud of this young man.

@ZizouBergs
๐ง๐ช-Adrian Andreev๐ง๐ฌ: 6-1 6-2. ZIZOU storms past the Bulgarian to make the main draw at a slam for the 2nd time (after
@Wimbledon
last year). Great level, big hunger and played with his heart. This is the way that he has set the scene in game 1.

๐ง๐ช-T. Kokkinakis๐ณ๐ฟ 3-6 6-1 0-6. This is the hard life of tennis. Fought hard to get a third set after finding solutions in set 2. Could not continue as wanted. Tough one but letโs keep the positive and letโs continue our mission. We are with you ZIZOU!

We must keep this under attention as totally unacceptable behavior. Letโs keep fighting against disrespect and hate. Thanks for all the support โค๏ธ
Tennis player
@ZizouBergs
(as do others) receives online hate on a daily basis. Not cool. So time to make a statement (
@KoenBergs
): "This is the same as racism in football"
@nieuwsbladsport
So proud of you
@ZizouBergs
. Respect for all your efforts and passion to become a better player every day. Disappointment can be replaced by pride. Keep working hard and you will share many more great moments with us. Thank you copainโค๏ธ
Drummondville Ch F: ZIZOU BERGS IS BACK WITH HIS SECOND YTD CH TITLE!!! ๐ฅ And how about sealing it w/ a 0-hold, even an ace to top it off??

@ATPChallenger
But the body does not follow. These are emotional moments in a match which you can only understand if you have played the game yourself. But I am proud of zizouโs resilience and persistence. Even in these circumstances. Heads up Copain. We are with youโค๏ธ
In the battle of Belgian generations, it is
@ZizouBergs
who takes the victory against
@rubenbemelmans
: 6-3 6-3. ZIZOU was really focused and reached a very high level giving Ruben lots of pressure on every point and realizing 4 breaks. And look what it means to my manโค๏ธ๐ฅ๐ช๐ง๐ช
Great win today against Zeppieri (๐ฎ๐นATP 111) with 6-3 7-5 which brings Zizou into his first ever ATP500 maindraw where he will face Andrey Rublev (ATP 5). Letโs go Copain ๐ง๐ช
Strange decision of
@rolandgarros
to start a match when weather forecast gives only rain. It took almost 1h to get to a score of 3-2 after numerous short breaks. Court was wet, balls heavy & players taking risks (cold) They should have taken an early decision to move the match.
@IlyaDenisov12
@ZizouBergs
I understand but everybody talks today about racism after the events with Vinicius in Valencia. This is also a way of high disrespect for people. We need to put it under attention as much as possible
This pic says it all. Thank you coach for helping me through this match.
#teamwork
. Of course credits to
@ZizouBergs
for his resilience, believe and fighting spirit. Challenger title 3 of 2021 is a fact.
#proud
That is the way you do a handshake after the match mister Rune. Respect is key in sports even if you loose. Battle hard during the match, show respect when it is done
