2018 ATP US Open R2: (6) Djokovic vs Sandgren

[Enceladus]

Ultron's encounter with Tennys in during today's playing day is a rematch duel from 2018 Wimbledon Championships, which Ultron won easily 6:3, 6:1, 6:2. Will Tennys put more resistance?

 

[ForumMember]

Tennis will be winner in either case.

 

[rushhr]

saw sandgren in person twice. he's like djokovic 0.8 beta with the volleys update. don't see sandgren winning if he plays his typical counterpunching game. me thinks he'll have to make eyes at jelena in addition to mixing it up and coming to net if he has a chance.

 

[Enceladus]

Djoker won the lot and chose a service.

 

[stringertom]

Since losing the Houston final to Johnson, Tennys has lost...and lost...and lost some more. 4-9 overall and most of that on his supposedly strongest surface of clay. His QF at AO seems a long way away.

 

[Enceladus]

Djokovic-Sandgren 2:1
Djoker in the first game faced a score of 15-40, BPs averted a well-placed service. Tennys is very well in rallies.

 

[jm1980]

Sandgren's BH is a mess

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Djokovic cruising against Tennys here.

 

[True Fanerer]

Seven post through a set says it all.

 

[underground]

LOL Novak actually smashed his racquet at the same juncture as he did last round.

Sandgren actually has good tennis IQ, shame he’s not completely executing right now.

 

[Enceladus]

Djokovic-Sandgren 6:1, 4:3
Djoker break Sandgren service for the third time.

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic is playing at the level he played in the Cincy final. He's looking more and more like his old self.

 

[Enceladus]

Djokovic-Sandgren 6:1, 6:3
Djoker break Sandgren service for the fourth time and wins second set. In the interplay, it has a visible superiority.

 

[uscwang]

Don't lose focus, Novak.

What was that? S&V with no heart in it?

 

[Enceladus]

Djoker-Sandgren 6:1, 6:3, 2:3
Djoker complicates the third set unnecessarily.

 

[BrokenGears]

Wtf are u doing Djoker?

 

[BrokenGears]

Lmao down 0-3

 

[Ace of Aces]

That’s good tennys

 

[Ray Mercer]

Djokovic looks like Wozniaki out there with that pushing.

 

[Raindogs]

Tennys swinging free and easy in the breaker and we're going 4!

 

[Legend of Borg]

this match is annoying

from djoker's mental boom to rusedski repeating the word "frying" every two seconds

 

[T1000]

Sandgren with the third. MATGA

 

[Legend of Borg]

why are they talking about the heat rule? isn't it a cool or at least comfortably warm evening in NY?

 

[insideguy]

All I know is there are a crap ton of people there tonight. This is a 2nd round match. Its packed.

 

[AndyM]

Is there a heat break yes or no

 

[Legend of Borg]

Is there a heat break yes or no

nope, right back at it

 

[Enceladus]

Djokovic-Sandgren 6:1, 6:3, 6:7(2)
Ultron lost third set. Sandgen started to hit the ball more and paid off.

 

[AndyM]

Why no heat break my thing is still showing commercials they must be taking an extended break

 

[Legend of Borg]

i have this nagging feeling hafa is getting another USO title in a week

djoker is trolling and fed is old as jail

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Why no heat break my thing is still showing commercials they must be taking an extended break

Maybe because breaks between sets are slightly longer.

 

[Pablo1989]

Incredible hitting by Tennys in the tiebreak

 

[AndyM]

No ESPN took extra commercial breaks and came back when it was 1530 ESPN totally sucks

 

[AndyM]

I wanted to go to sleep after a comfortable 3-set when but no Joco always has to f****** complicate things

 

[Legend of Borg]

joko troll in full flight

 

[MasturB]

It's a shame Sandgren is racist.

I still like watching him play. Best movement of any American player right now. Like a Mardy Fish lite.

 

[AndyM]

Love 30

 

[Legend of Borg]

It's a shame Sandgren is racist.

is he really though?

i know he had some controversial tweets ages ago but surely he's not full MAGA mode

 

[AndyM]

Sharapova must be pissed

 

[JohnnyMac Fan!]

Is a Racist?

 

[Raindogs]

Tennys rocks a wicked forehand winner on a huge point.

Joker pulls his classic pretty pretty good face

 

[AndyM]

Are you f****** serious 1 mm in what f****** b******* this match should be f****** over

 

[AndyM]

Is Matt should have been over 2 hours of f****** go

 

[AndyM]

Tennys is cooked tennis is saved

 

[Legend of Borg]

these amazon prime commentators suck big time

 

[Enceladus]

Djokovic-Sandgren 6:1, 6:3, 6:7(2), 2:1
An important break from my point of view.

 

[AndyM]

Looks like gasquet will be waiting for the third round. Most likely add a match I don't think it's going to be that hot on Saturday in the 70s

 

[Legend of Borg]

to this day i cannot understand how a physical freak like djoker gets rattled by heat

is it something genetic, where he can't handle it as well as someone like fed/rafa?

has anyone heard of fed/rafa struggling with the conditions on the court?

 

[MasturB]

is he really though?

i know he had some controversial tweets ages ago but surely he's not full MAGA mode

It was more than just the Serena stuff in his tweets.

Harrison is typical uninformed MAGA guy.
Sandgren is more of the Alex Jones-4Channer type of guy. Yes they both fall in the same circles somewhat but not really.

 

[beltsman]

Wtf is up with Djokovic's attitude? Getting pissy because your opponent hits a good winner? Being sarcastic to the fans for cheering the American underdog on? And he wonders why few like him...

You should stop spreading fake news.
