2018 Miami SF: [5] Juan Martin Del Potro vs. [14] John Isner

[Atennisone]

Not you as well. Marcus Buckland on Sky already had Delpo as potential #1 after he beat Fed in IW.

I didn't say he would, but if he played at the same level every match only Clay Nadal would be assure to be able to beat him

 

[Poisoned Slice]

''Hacksaw'' John Duggan ftw

[Berasategui94]

Someone convince me this is good for tennis,

Isner to save tennis by beating Zverev in the final.

 

[ForumMember]

The people cheering for Delpo today are not the ones who are patriotic and standing for the anthem. Not all Americans are the same. These people are American in name only.

My theory is linking patriotism with sports fan-hood very frivolous.

[Sudacafan]

Curious who you guys think has the best chance to beat Isner? Zverev or Carreno-Busta?

Serving like this, nobody

 

[Poisoned Slice]

He's stumbled upon the secret ingredient to the Big Mic's special sauce.

Isner to save tennis by beating Zverev in the final.

Too little, too late.

 

[jaggy]

Congrats to isner

My theory is linking patriotism with sports fan-hood very frivolous.

I think Americans are tought to love their country, not their fellow Americans.

And I think the fact that their biggest sports are mostly national competitions also plays a role. They all support their own club, be it the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL or whatever.

PCB to save tennis by beating Isner in Miami + FO final

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Giants should be banned from pro tennis. It's no fun watching them.

Probably the first time I’ve ever agreed with you.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I think we need a thread.

What has Isner discovered in the last week?

 

[Sudacafan]

Isner to save tennis by beating Zverev in the final.

You don’t seem to understand the seriousness of the issue.

 

[flyingboris]

Delpo wasn't even able to get more UE than Isner

 

[Krish872007]

Isner the GOAT!!
I had a feeling he would get it done today, unbelievable level to snap Del Potro's streak.

[clayqueen]

I think Delpo was resigned to defeat after the first few games.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

It is quite heartless not cheering for Isner, seeing him play home courts and being met w that. Frustrating. USO too.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Isner was simply too good today, well deserved winning

Keep pounding

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Dafuq happened? JOHN GOATing again? When he gets to such a level that he doesn't need to rely on tiebreaks, the guy isn't really boring...

 

[Sudacafan]

Isner the GOAT!!

I fully expected this, having seen both players prior performances. It’s no surprise.

Isner was as good as in all the tournament, and that was more than enough.

 

[Atennisone]

Isner or Busta has to win now

 

[Sudacafan]

Isner will be the next #1.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Isner was as good as in all the tournament, and that was more than enough.

He was certainly impressive against Cilic and Chung, but today, he took out racket out of the hands of the hottest player on tour, extra special.

 

[Sudacafan]

Isner to save American tennis.

 

[RF-18]

Damn, what were the odds pre match? Bummer I forgot to make a bet....

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I really do appreciate Annabel Croft's self-control. Talking to Greg '' I will contradict'' you Rusedski always seems to be a challenge. Fair play to her.

 

[bezs]

Isner in the final, meh......

 

[stringertom]

It is quite heartless not cheering for Isner, seeing him play home courts and being met w that. Frustrating. USO too.

Heavy Latin atmosphere in Miami. Proximity wise, this is like Melbourne is for Asian tennis fans times 10. Always has been.

Big John even complimented the Argentine fans after the match. Didn't bother him at all.

 

[Sudacafan]

Del Po was the hottest player as of the start of the match, but he did not come to play today. He had nothing left in the tank. Same story as in Paris Bercy.
This shows why Del Potro will never reach #1. His body won’t allow it.
Anyway, Isner playing like he is now, would have won.

 

[Sudacafan]

Damn, what were the odds pre match? Bummer I forgot to make a bet....

Isner would have been the favorite, to anyone who knows and watches tennis, this was not an upset.

Yeah, Miami might as well be South America. I speak Spanish when I am there and hardly any English.

I bet he is used to it.
Maybe in the final they will be on his side!

 

[disgruntledamsel]

Damn John. Everything for him is downright hunky-dory.

 

[RF-18]

Isner would have been the favorite, to anyone who knows and watches tennis, this was not an upset.

I just checked the odds, Del Po was the heavy favourite according to the betting companies. 1,50 for del Po to win the match and 2.60 on isner

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

For anyone needing the updated rankings I've done the math and crunched the numbers tirelessly:


Peak Del Potro defeated Peak Federer at IW
Peak Del Potro had 15 match win streak
Peak Isner defeated Peak Del Potro

Therefore we can rank the players like so:

2. Isner
3. Del Potro
4. Kokkinakis
5. Federer

You're probably wondering why there is no #1. That is because Peak Carreno Busta will expose Isner's false dawn.

1. PCB / Hypothetical Injury Free Nadal
2. Isner
3. Del Potro
4. Kokkinakis
5. Federer

 

[Sudacafan]

I bet he is used to it.
Maybe in the final they will be on his side!

I won’t see the final, or the remaining semis. I don’t have any affinity with the players left, I will just check scores in the Internet.

Im hoping sasha isner final.
Fan of both

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Vedasco beat Kokkinakis

Sub-peak Kokk after Verdasco insulted his maybe and maybe not Dad.

 

[Sudacafan]

I just checked the odds, Del Po was the heavy favourite according to the betting companies. 1,50 for del Po to win the match and 2.60 on isner

Vegas doesn’t know sh*t about tennis.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Are you a masochist?

No I was not a Roddick fan.

 

[Tiki-Taka]

4th Masters final for Big John, at 4 different events. Say what you want about him but those are excellent results. Maybe he gets the title finally, won't be facing a Big 4 player this time.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Vegas doesn’t know sh*t about tennis.

They have Floyd Mayweather as heavy favorite to beat Roger Federer at Wimbledon this year. If Roger can make it to Floyd first.

 

[davced1]

1. Nadal, gotta give it to him injured or not
2. Federer
3. Fedr
4. Betterer
5. Goat
