2021 US Open - Men's Singles - General Discussion

[James P]

Double break up into the first sit down.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Popyrin 3-1 up vs Evans.
Man am I going to enjoy that third set.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Med knows he has a golden chance to get to the semis here and he is making the most of it so far.

I agree. I think he’s a big favourite to reach the final too.

 

[Hitman]

I agree. I think he’s a big favourite to reach the final too.

Yes, he is, but I have to say, I am quite impressed with Tsitsipas so far also, and will be keen to see how his big match today goes.

Very likely the top four are the final four here.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Yes, he is, but I have to say, I am quite impressed with Tsitsipas so far also, and will be keen to see how his big match today goes.

Very likely the top four are the final four here.

It will be great for the tournament if all the big 4 make it. The new big 4 of men’s tennis now.

 

[TennisFan3]

You are right but I fancy him to make the final with the nice draw he has.

He will lose to Titspas on current form.
This strategy of standing 1000000 ft behind the baseline will NOT work.
And if he somehow gets to the final, Novak will absolutely murder him.
My hope was that Med would get more offensive with time, he is just going the other way. A solid player with potential wasted. Very sad.

Popyrin 3-1 up vs Evans.

This might get loud

 

[James P]

16-4 in points through the first four games. Yikes! Poor Andujar wondering what he did to deserve this.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

This might get loud

Evans is on edge as always!

 

[Deleted member 771911]

If Evans is such a great tactician why has his career been so....mediocre?

 

[ttwreader]

Med is about to serve a bagel.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Great winner from meddy!

 

[The Guru]

Wow that was an insane 2 games from Med

 

[Hitman]

One way traffic really.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

One way traffic really.

Mad lad must be laughing at this draw he has haha

 

[James P]

Bagel delivered, five points away from a Golden Set. Man, Medvedev sucks.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

What a beatdown by meddy!

 

[Hitman]

Mad lad must be laughing at this draw he has haha

The gap between the new big four and the others is quite big.

 

[Cortana]

Med to win the whole thing.

 

[TennisFan3]

The gap between the new big four and the others is quite big.

We can't have a "big 4". There is Big 1 and three pretenders.
Big 1 = GOAT - Novak Djokovic.
Three pretenders = Titspas, Zedzilla and Madlad who are all SLAMLESS.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

The gap between the new big four and the others is quite big.

I agree and I feel it will only grow. Plus the gap between the new big 4 and fedal is growing too on hard courts at least. Rafa is only a factor on clay probably now and fed is done. Next gen still need to establish themselves on grass but they proven their worth on clay too.

 

[fundrazer]

One way traffic really.

I dunno why but you made me think of this.

 

[junior74]

Med to win the whole thing.

Plays great, then respectfully loses in straights to his hero

 

[Hitman]

I dunno why but you made me think of this.

One of the greatest movies of all time.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Plays great, then respectfully loses in straights to his hero

He’s a cool guy that’s why

 

[James P]

Andujar won more points in the first game of the second set, than he did in the entire first set (6 to 5) lol.

 

[Hitman]

And he wins a game....the comeback is on.

 

[onyxrose81]

I dunno why but you made me think of this.

That scene was nightmare fuel for me as a kid. Great but so awful. My parents were not the strictest of parents.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Popyrin up 2 sets to love.

 

[Arak]

Is Medvedev baby Djokovic?

 

[James P]

Popyrin up 2 sets to love.

I want that fourth round clash. Really like Popyrin.

 

[TennisFan3]

One of the greatest movies of all time.

Which movie is this? I'm sorry, didn't recognize the scene.

 

[James P]

Andujar throwing in some pretty decent S&V now.

 

[onyxrose81]

Which movie is this? I'm sorry, didn't recognize the scene.

Robocop.

 

[Hitman]

Which movie is this? I'm sorry, didn't recognize the scene.

Robocop....one of the greatest movies ever made.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

I want that fourth round clash. Really like Popyrin.

Yes, that one could be good.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

He will lose to Titspas on current form.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Popyrin is a future top tenner. He ain't got time for scrubs like Evans

 

[James P]

What a get by Medvedev!

Also, gets his second set break of serve.

 

[Hitman]

Too good from Medvedev, seriously feel his tournament starts from the semis.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Med playing so intelligently and within himself!
He's toying with Andujar.

 

[Krish0608]

He will lose to Titspas on current form.

What are you talking about. Med is the heavy favorite on these courts

 

[junior74]

He’s a cool guy that’s why

Good one

His appearance in the AO final was pathetic.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Good one

His appearance in the AO final was pathetic.

I think you been a bit harsh on meddy. It was his first AO final and 2nd slam final and he was playing the AO GOAT too.

 

[James P]

I think you been a bit harsh on meddy. It was his first AO final and 2nd slam final and he was playing the AO GOAT too.

I wish I could remember the result of the 2019 Australian Open, but alas it's slipped my mind.

 

[ttwreader]

PeePeePass ( (C) Tom the Stringer) and Alcaraz are now on Ashe.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I wish I could remember the result of the 2019 Australian Open, but alas it's slipped my mind.

Meddy played well in that match. It was Novak’s hardest match of the 2019 tournament for sure.

 

[James P]

Meddy played well in that match. It was Novak’s hardest match of the 2019 tournament for sure.

I actually meant what happened in the final, but yeah great point about their 4th round match.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Lovely stuff from Popyrin

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Popyrin struggling a bit but it’s ok. Just a little drop. He can still do this in a tight tiebreaker or even in four.
