2016 US Open Round 3 - David Ferrer vs. Juan-Martin Del Potro

[Ironwood]

Delpo is everything Raonic is not..... he has the complete game and movement as well.

 

[NatF]

Finished fittingly with a forehand winner. Del Potro into 4R.

Thiem in the next round?

Can't wait.

Great stuff...Delpo may save this horrible tournament after all. Too bad him and Nick are so close together...whoever made this draw should go to jail

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Del Potro plays like a god.
No matter how much he achieves in his career, his tennis will live forever.

Very nice win for Delpo. Hope he continues to improve.

Remember iron sharpens iron. Iron can only be destroyed by rust, and rust is a slow process which is caused by JDP!

 

[Gytha]

Lol 'I don't know but I'm winning'- on if the FH is as good as 2009

 

[bezs]

So much love for the Wookie Warrior from the crowd.

Thiem vs Delpo???

The real winner is: Meles in straights....and tennis in 4 sets

 

[YellowFedBetter]

Stoked to hear this, just wish I'd been able to see it though. Can anyone tell me how I could possibly see a replay here in the US?

 

[Voriad]

I'd bet my house on Ferrer winning this one.

I'm sorry...

 

[Meles]

You love your stats. Where you getting em from?

I take the points leaders from the ATP site generally which has the raw points numbers for 1st, 2nd, and break points for both serve and return. Do some spreadsheet magic and I can pull up detailed stats for each player with ease (just type in the full name and it looks them up and gets exacts figures.) I do this for all time greats also.

The ATP site is a disaster this year as Olympics return numbers are not in the database, nor were double faults counted as 2nd serve attempts. I've compensated for a handful of the top players by using tennis abstract data. That's involved a lot of algebra as they don't report seperate first and second return data at tennis abstract. For all time greats, if they are not in the top 200 for one of the 1st or 2nd serve numbers, I can use algebra to get a good estimate of the missing number in detail by various methods and tennis abstract data.

For the record on this match, Ferrer failed big time on first return. Delpo won over 80% of his first serve points.
