2017 US Open - general discussion thread

[I Am Finnish]

Is it bad that a part of me wants Shapovalov to beat Edmund today?

You can root who you wants

 

[Pagoo]

Kukushkin taking it to Pouille.

 

[StanTheMan]

Diego should shave so he'd look like a 13yo kid playing. It'd be fun.

 

[skip1969]

Cilic having to work . . . hard . . . to hold.

 

[abhimawa]

Cilic in big trouble. Too many errors

 

[YellowFedBetter]

I can't believe Cilic is this bad. I would have never thought it. This is truly a loony tunes tournament.

 

[TripleATeam]

Double break from Schwartzman! Seems all but finished for Cilic.

 

[Pagoo]

Wow! First real test for Cilic, and it looks like he's going to fail it.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Cilic breaks his racket


I never saw him doing that

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Schwartz breaks again and will now serve for the match!

 

[YellowFedBetter]

Shapo about to even it up against Courier.

 

[skip1969]

Diego one game away at 5-2. CIlic has been his own worst enemy in this match. Unforced errors galore.

 

[stringertom]

In this case, Lone Starr is no match for Dark Helmet!!!

 

[MasterZeb]

Not surprised. Cilic wasnt carrying any sort of form into the tournament and hasn't throughout. But will be a great win for schwartzman

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Rest in Cilic, Cilic.

 

[Shangri La]

This is a terrible joke.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Cilic breaks his racket


I never was him doing that

3 times as far as I know. His forehand is very rusty and he's actually bit shaky vs Mayer yesterday. But serve is really poor here, that's why he lost.

 

[underground]

Mury GOAT

 

[Pagoo]

Diego will struggle to serve it out.

 

[MasterZeb]

Diego will struggle to serve it out.

How did you know
Who are you and what do you want from us?!

 

[I Am Finnish]

Brilliant cilic

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Diego will struggle to serve it out.

Yeah, got broken, but he has another chance to serve it out at 5-4 if Cilic holds this game.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

A BIT TOO LATE DON'T YOU THINK? LOL

 

[skip1969]

Cilic with a lovely half volley there.

 

[skip1969]

Marin holds and Diego will step up to the line to try to serve it out a second time. 5-4

 

[TripleATeam]

Cilic holds. One more break and he stays in the set, and possibly the match.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Diego will struggle to serve it out.

I want your magic to make it 5-5 here lol.

 

[Shangri La]

Can Cilic do the impossible??

 

[NBP]

No if I'm being serious, Schwartzman will beat Cilic. Thus the finalist will be challenger level. Probably Paolo Lorenzi at this rate.

NBP NBP NBP NBP NBP

 

[Wilhelm]

Shapovalov rocks!

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Well done what? He hasn't won yet. Cilic has a knack for winning these type of matches in 5 sets.

Hopefully Diego can close him out right now.

 

[StanTheMan]

..Could he pull off a miraculous comeback here?

 

[Pagoo]

How did you know
Who are you and what do you want from us?!

I expected/expect Cilic to go for it now his back is to the wall.

 

[TripleATeam]

Cilic did not perform too badly when down 2 breaks.

 

[MasterZeb]

70mph serve there. Nerves are real

 

[skip1969]

70mph second serve for Diego. Yikes.

 

[StanTheMan]

Quite a tense match now.

 

[I Am Finnish]

The crowd goed nuts lol

 

[heninfan99]

savage Croatian there

 

[acintya]

edmund also has some nice strokes

 

[I Am Finnish]

Cilic is still fighting

What a miss

 

[heninfan99]

too much here drat

 

[MasterZeb]

62 my gosh

 

[existential dread]

Bottom half officially dead.

 

[acintya]

i have two mobiles in my hands.one is for tw forum,one is shapolov match and on the tv i watch football- q for world cup sportsday

 

[TripleATeam]

After 2 break points, Cilic runs out of steam and Schwartzman takes it in 4.

 

[skip1969]

62mph hour serve. Unreal.

 

[heninfan99]

one more point

 

[I Am Finnish]

Cilic woke up too late


Schwartzman on the ground

 

[abhimawa]

Congratulations, Diego!
