2019 USO QF - [5] Daniil Medvedev vs [23] Stan Wawrinka

[onyxrose81]

Congrats to Wawrinka...I can't see Med surviving for much longer.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Dearie me.

 

[gn]

There is an additional day of rest, right?

 

[James P]

Gut this one out, big guy.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Stan breaks back

 

[skip1969]

I don't think he quits unless and until he gets down 2-1 sets.

I don't think he'd want to give the crowd that satisfaction since he's given them so much stick.

That's why you don't want to laugh first, you wanna laugh last.

 

[skip1969]

1/6 break points. Federeresque.

 

[BeatlesFan]

6/17 on second serve points won for Medvedev. Dismal.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Daniil is toast. This match is over.

 

[James P]

Chokerinka

 

[Service Ace]

Foot Fault!

Foot Fault!

Lol

 

[PrinceMoron]

So just how tough is the Russian?
Covered the court there ok

Bad miss from Stan, that one.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

lol Slight misfire.

 

[Shangri La]

Med needs a night session to get more energy from the crowd, no?

 

[Sambuccashake]

If ever there were a good time for a dropshot Stan....

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

There is an additional day of rest, right?

I guess so, if both semis are played on the same day.

 

[ibbi]

Stan does not look good at ALL so far. Federer has to be watching this licking his lips.

 

[skip1969]

Oh Stan.

 

[NatF]

Not worried about these guys versus Fed at all tbh

 

[gn]

Stan unleashes a FH DTL.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Stan wields a big stick

Yeah, I'm not sure more KT tape is going to save Medvedev here. He can't even run for shots within his reach.

If he can't give a competitive match, I think he should retire here. Why even risk further injury.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

What a strange set! Meddy is so up and down! Stan is growing into match!

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Why are you guys talking about Fed when Dimi is going to win?

 

[Service Ace]

Med is the cleanest ball striker I've seen since Safin when he is on...

 

[skip1969]

Stan, with his first lead. 6-5. On serve.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Pro manner and comportment from Stan

Medvedev, the modern-day Miloslav Mecir

 

[DimitrovTheGoat]

Medvedev is going to end up retiring. The quad injury is screwing him over.

He doesn't want to see pointless and endless TTW threads that questioning someone retire.

Healthy Med embarrasses Stan, but sadly his leg is messed up.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Being almost 6’6 in tennis is like a death wish.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Medvedev, the modern-day Miloslav Mecir

Oh God no, please... Mecir was elegant, effortless and gorgeous to watch, this guy is not.

Does not matter. Stanimal is Federer's pet anyway.

 

[skip1969]

Stan gotta get some returns back and make Med play.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Idk about that. This is not grass.

 

[ForumMember]

Medvedev is done..

 

[Silence]

Fine, he's "bulky" and slow then. Time for him to retire, any of these young guns who isn't a scrawny shrimp like Goffin and Schwartzman will easily move him around like Medvedev is doing and overpower him. Stan is not the man, without his serve and backhand power, I don't even see him as a Top 50 player.

Man you will get quoted A LOT at the end of the evening

 

[BeatlesFan]

What kind of a pathetic drop shot was that?

 

[SeeingDusk]

Medvedev is going to end up retiring. The quad injury is screwing him over.

Maybe if Stan wins the first, and Med goes down a break in second, he will retire.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Med is the cleanest ball striker I've seen since Safin when he is on...

But how does hold up against heavy shots ?

Just love the sound coming off Stan’s racquet

Damn i really wanted to see fit Medvedev vs Federer

 

[skip1969]

Yeah, Mecir was like spreading peanut butter on toast. Guy floated around the court.

 

[Sysyphus]

Oh God no, please... Mecir was elegant, effortless and gorgeous to watch, this guy is not.

the guy had shovel strokes to the max. Everything looks pretty through rose-tinted retrospection though.

 

[Service Ace]

Too bad his fitness is so bad, otherwise he'd be a beast. Maybe in a year or two if he trains hard and diets.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

too injured 2 serve

Hope he somehow gets this together

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Yes!

 

[James P]

He's grinding.
