Is Opelka going to break out into the final of this tourney? Looking at who's left in the bottom half, and I can picture him banking 300 points fairly easily.

 

[clayqueen]

Only 52 posts on this match thread. There is clearly a lack of interest. I wonder why.

 

[OverallForm]

Where is sushikori? Why isn’t he playing in Japan?

 

[James P]

Where is sushikori? Why isn’t he playing in Japan?

Withdrawn for a month (including Tokyo and Shanghai) with an injury.

 

[James P]

The difference in height between Opelka and Uchiyama is approximately the same as the difference in height between Uchiyama and the 8 year old ball kids in the walk in.

 

[TennisLBC]

We are seeing why servbots will NOT be winning Slams anytime soon.

 

[James P]

It's only 81F (27C). Why is Opelka sweating so damn much?

 

[tonylg]

One of these players will be in an ATP500 final:

Opelka
Simon
Albot
Uchiyama
Harris
Millman
Thompson
Daniel

Love to Millman win the whole lot.

 

[James P]

Opelka is SFinalist #1. 6-3 6-3 over Uchiyama.

 

[Cortana]

Can Djokovic even lose this tournament?

 

[stringertom]

Humble Joe Kovic let Pouille win a game, 6-1 2-0 but winning 78% of total points.

 

[JadeC]

Pouille can't really do anything to hurt Novak. It's been the story of all their matches.

Novak is really looking good too.

 

[clayqueen]

Pouille was more energised against Nadal at Hurlingham before Wimbledon.

Congrats to Djokovic blnt Pouille 61 62,, Strong win,, Djokovic to the semi finals to play Goffin or Chung

[stringertom]

Joe Kovic tried to be nice but Pouille did not say, “Pwetty pwetty Pouile!” before breaking him for 2-4. The next two games were brutal!

 

[clayqueen]

Pouille was half asleep.

 

[upchuck]

Sublime from Djokovic.

 

[albertobra]

90% 1st serve in for Goffin. Have not seen 1 UE. 6-2 first set vs Chung.

Goffin will win AO.

 

[albertobra]

Goffin when playing well is one of the best players to watch currently.

 

[albertobra]

Shouldn't Chung change his feet position on serve? He looks like he is on the line at the post office.
It looks like he can't get the necessary pop , pace and speed with that serve movement.

 

[albertobra]

3-1 Goffin. Last game three aces and one 1st serve; Goffin became a servebotter.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Joe Ko Vich is looking good and will pull a 2013

 

[I Am Finnish]

Pouille played better in Cincinnati

 

[albertobra]

Joe Ko Vich is looking good and will pull a 2013

Take your risks. McFly vs. Joe Ko Vich 6-3 3-6 6-3.

There you go....one more with no risk....

 

[The Green Mile]

Opelka acing his opponent twice in that service game, almost fricking body serves, yet Millman unable to get a racquet onto ball lol... Pretty crazy.

 

[James P]

Millman takes first set 6-3.

 

[tonylg]

Millman takes first set 6-3.

Posted in another thread that I've actually put money on Millman to win this match up.

He LOVES the heat.

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Wow when did Opelka turn to be this hot?

 

[James P]

More return points in this match than I expected.

 

[James P]

Millman wins 6-3 7-6

 

[tonylg]

Opelka looked fatigued at the end. Millman could have gone for hours.

 

[James P]

Djokovic Goffin up next.

Congrats to Milkman blnt Opelka 63 76 Milman to the finals

[RF-18]

Djole holds for 5-2. He is looking good IMO. Nice pop on the shots and pin point accuracy. He is controlling this contest.

 

[RF-18]

0-30 Djoko.

He is carrying his form from Pouille match definitely.

 

[RF-18]

2 SPs Djole!

 

[RF-18]

Goffins saves both
