2020 US Open General Discussion (ATP)

[TheTennisReporter]

Is moutet injured? or is FAA goating right now?

 

[mike danny]

Is he on track to meet Theim next? That could be fun. Who’d be a tennis ball.

Could face Thiem in the 4th round, I think.

 

[James P]

FAA serving for a 2nd set bagel. Holy hell this is lopsided.

future lewis hamilton of tennis, we just should sit and wait a bit

 

[NoleFam]

Felix is killing Moutet.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Felix is killing Moutet.

Moulet is pretty bad, Felix doesn't have to do much except keep the ball in play.

Felix is killing Moutet.

Bakery is wide open

Looks like he's doing a little more than that. He is hitting the ball pretty big in this match. (Keeps missing overheads though)

It is but at least Moutet avoided the bagel. Better to get the breadstick..lol

[TheAssassin]

A bit of Mury GOAT rubbed on FAA? Brutal lol.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Google showing 6-1 6-0? Not sure if it's a mistake or not cuz I'm not watching

 

[NoleFam]

Oh crap. That's what I get for trying to watch too many matches at once. He did get bageled. Lol. I thought he broke back.

not a mistake google is right there with you

Did Moutet sleep with his girlfriend or something?

Anyone watching this Felix match? His level is crazy good. My god. So much power and ball striking talent. Can he give Novak a run for his money?

 

[mike danny]

Can he beat Thiem first?

Everyone is talking about these guys challenging Novak, but Tsitsipas's loss should have taught them to take it one match at a time with these younger guys.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Maybe benefiting from the lack of a crowd. Shapo once said he'd always beat him in practice. But yeah his forehand is looking very good.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Moulet is pretty bad, Felix doesn't have to do much except keep the ball in play.

Moutet definitely looks like a jobber. I will reserve my judgement on FFA until he plays Thiem.

 

[Hood_Man]

So far I've loved the relative lack of older players this US Open, but this Aliassime/Moutet match is making me miss Federer. If he was involved in a match as lopsided as this it would have been over 20 minutes ago and sounded like a firing range with all the aces and winners.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Moutet is playing extremely bad. If FAA weren't clowning around he could have triple bagelled the guy. Watching this, I'm no longer surprised by the unique triple bagels recorded in slams by the likes of Lendl, Edberg, Bruguera. They just got an opponent as bad as Moutet here and didn't let up trying to go all the way towards 6-0 6-0 6-0.

More like Moutet is crazy bad.

 

[NoleFam]

I actually like Nike's gear this year which is the first time in ages. It has an 80's nostalgia look to it.

 

[alexio]

More like Moutet is crazy bad.

[Hood_Man]

Dan Evans and Britain's hope died for this.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

How did Murray play in his match with FAA though? Looks like FAA lost to Sandgren in Cinci and had a tough match with Monteiro in the 1R. So I dunno.

Murray beat Zverev in Cinci and then got double bread sticked by Raonic who lost to Pospisil here. Although Pospisil is playing well.

Moved like an old man, lol. Was still better than this moutet, Auger served well and didn't let his focus up.

 

[marc45]

hunting for his first major...





@BellshawGeorge
·Felix Auger-Aliassime after booking spot in the last-16 of the US Open: 'I'm here to impose myself. Outside the court I'm a pretty kind person but once I step on court, it's the best man that wins. Only one survives. You've got to step it up with that animal and killer instinct.'

 

[Born_to_slice]

More like Moutet is crazy bad.

Probably tired too from Evans match, having a bad day, FAA a good one. Moutet's not that bad. He's pretty small tho.

 

[Born_to_slice]

Tiafoe on fire today. Fucsovics not so much.

 

[James P]

Tiafoe needed that win. Great match.

 

[NoleFam]

I didn't know Wayne Ferreira was Tiafoe's coach. He's a blast from the past. That was a good win for Tiafoe.

 

[beard]

Tiafoe just used hand shake with Fucsovics at the net... Why? It seemed deliberately... Is it allowed at all, can he be punished somehow... I mean I like him, but follow the rules dude...

 

[TheNachoMan]

So Tiafoe will be playing Felix? That could be interesting. Felix probably wins that

 

[Born_to_slice]

Why does Cilic Thiem start so late?

 

[TheAssassin]

So Tiafoe will be playing Felix? That could be interesting. Felix probably wins that

Felix will play Thiem or Cilic next.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Felix will play Thiem or Cilic next.

Oh. That’s unfortunate.

So who’s next for Tiafoe?

 

[TheAssassin]

Oh. That’s unfortunate.

So who’s next for Tiafoe?

Mad Lad. Even more unfortunate.

 

[Krish0608]

Tiafoe just used hand shake with Fucsovics at the net... Why? It seemed deliberately... Is it allowed at all, can he be punished somehow... I mean I like him, but follow the rules dude...

This is just too easy.

 

[TennisLBC]

So the last American male under 23 to make it to the Round of 16 was Donald Young...9 years ago!?

Yeah, American men's tennis is in a good place.

 

[megamind]

Why does Cilic Thiem start so late?

waiting on ongoing matches to finish

 

[megamind]

Tiafoe just used hand shake with Fucsovics at the net... Why? It seemed deliberately... Is it allowed at all, can he be punished somehow... I mean I like him, but follow the rules dude...

That's a $1500 (USTA fine) handshake right there

 

[Hood_Man]

Madison Keys just retired against Cornet so the Cilic Thiem match shouldn't be too far away.

 

[CYGS]

Both of these surprise me because I would expect RBA to win quite easily. He's in very good form and is a better player. I would have put RBA as firm favourite. Thiem/Cilic is much closer than those odds. I'm surprised by these two the rest look a fair reflection.

Fail.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Go Tiim, sillyc has no place troubling you with him needing to escape Kudla and Gombos.

 

[EllieK]

After a loss like that, most players would be completely dejected and not want to be on social media or be bothered with anyone really. This new generation act like they can't function unless they are tweeting.

I think he was trying to convince himself that he could handle the loss. He probably didn’t handle it very well at all.
