2021 US Open R1: Stefanos Tsitsipas [3] vs Andy Murray [114]

[Lleytonstation]

Murray you miserable idgit what're ya dooooooin

The dude is old and injured. This is embarrassing for Tsits.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Am I the only one who wants Tsitsipas to win??? Come on Stefanos!!!!! Cross the finish line!!!!

 

[Lleytonstation]

Well Tsits choke serving for it?

 

[speedysteve]

This is what I mean, I honestly don't get bothered by tsitsipas antics, or at least anywhere near having to watch a knighted baby cry on court haha

Hehe that's double gold Olympic champion and double Wimbledon champion, knighted cry baby to you - but yes I agree

 

[DjokoLand]

Valiant effort by Murray here though. Tsitsipas is gonna get the job though and credit to the Greek for fighting back.

Credit too him but he shouldn’t of been in the position in the first place. This Murray will always have the will to fight and the champion mentality but he’s a shell of himself

 

[MeatTornado]

At least Novak can't take anybody out with there being no lines judges.

Thousands of fans in the seats this time though

 

[Lleytonstation]

Am I the only one who wants Tsitsipas to win??? Come on Stefanos!!!!! Cross the finish line!!!!

No they're a few other confused and lost people here.

Titspas wins this, but his level is pathetic. He wouldn't come close to even winning a set vs Novak playing like this.
Come to think of it, hopefully Medvedev knocks him out.

He won't make it through the second round. Probably withdrawals.

Seriously; healthy Murray in straights!

 

[EllieK]

Will Tsitsi choke once more? Andy has been in his service games

 

[DjokoLand]

He won't make it through the second round. Probably withdrawals.

He will beat Mannarino easily but this level will get him nowhere

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Murray five hours on court. Lol. The monster.

 

[GabeT]

At least Novak can't take anybody out with there being no lines judges.

Can he aim at the chair umpire?

 

[Lleytonstation]

He will beat Mannarino easily but this level will get him nowhere

Don't ever assume with next gen.

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Djokovic pounded these two in FO finals.

 

[iopzzza]

If it wasnt for cheating this match would have been over already.

 

[ark_28]

I an not surprised that Tsitsipas is winning but I am shocked that he’s being 5 sets to be in a winning position

 

[Krish0608]

He will beat Mannarino easily but this level will get him nowhere

If he gets through today, he will play MUCH better in the next rounds and will probably lose only to Medvedev.

 

[Rebel-I.N.S]

LOL.

Murray’s sarcastic ask for the trainer.

I love this guy.

 

[Aretium]

Hehe that's double gold Olympic champion and double Wimbledon champion, knighted cry baby to you - but yes I agree

Haha exactly. Not disputing his skill and work ethic

 

[Lleytonstation]

If it wasnt for cheating this match would have been over already.

Well when cheating is allowed and it works. Why not?

 

[junior74]

Murray joking with the umpire

 

[DjokoLand]

Don't ever assume with next gen.

I hate when people say 04-07 was weak and this era is weak etc but next gen really don’t make it look strong. I don’t care about Tsitsipas or Med etc beating Djokovic it’s a hard task but as least make it through your quarter and it’s respectable

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Credit too him but he shouldn’t of been in the position in the first place. This Murray will always have the will to fight and the champion mentality but he’s a shell of himself

I agree with this. It doesn’t bode well for the Greeks hopes this slam.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Hold your serve Stefanos!!!!

 

[March31]

Am I the only one who wants Tsitsipas to win??? Come on Stefanos!!!!! Cross the finish line!!!!

Yeah it's time for a kill and half past four in the morning

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

So Murray could have won straight sets if he won the second second set TB. Yeesh.

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Can Murray pull off a Djokovic 2011?

 

[DjokoLand]

If he gets through today, he will play MUCH better in the next rounds and will probably lose only to Medvedev.

I feel the same. But this is the problem for most next gen they are great one day and terrible the next. Even the big 3 have bad days at slams but the level is never this bad

 

[Lleytonstation]

I hate when people say 04-07 was weak and this era is weak etc but next gen really don’t make it look strong. I don’t care about Tsitsipas or Med etc beating Djokovic it’s a hard task but as least make it through your quarter and it’s respectable

Just give us some good match ups. Live up to the hype and give us some entertainment.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

This court is slow as hell. Djoker is going to win the calendar slam easy. You won’t even be able to hit a winner on him LOL

 

[Lleytonstation]

Can Murray pull off a Djokovic 2011?

Zverev can.

 

[FD3S]

It's painful to watch all the open angles on the court that Murray refuses to take because he wants to set up a situation 6 more shots from now.

Somehow still hasn't figured out that he has a metal hip with limited movement & stamina.

Must be frustrating for him. His strokes and timing are fine and the tactics are theoretically sound but his movement/endurance just aren't up for taking advantage of his current game plan.

 

[MeatTornado]

Andy really shouldn't be taking any risks this game. I would've just kept exchanging BHs until the wheels fell off.

 

[TennisFan3]

Djokovic pounded these two in FO finals.

These guys are so PATHETIC. I hope they NEVER win a slam.
They don't deserve to. This is the worst next gen - I've seen in 30 years.
Hopefully Novak can keep winning for next 2-3 years or maybe even Rafa wins a bit more.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Credit to tsitsipas for the win. Hard luck muzza

 

[junior74]

Surprised that he shook his hand, really. But that was a cold one.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Tsitsipas just asked if he could take a bathroom break after the 5th set to regroup for the sixth.

"The match is over, Stefanos"

"Oh, okay"

 

[PilotPete]

Murray doesn't like Tsits, not surprising.

 

[Krish0608]

Yes!! Let's go Stefanos! Onwards to Round 2.

 

[Jokervich]

Does the crowd all know that Tsitsipas is a cheater? The cheers for him winning are extremely subdued.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Murray said yeah you ain't worth my respect.

 

[Third Serve]

And that’s all she wrote.

Very impressive performance by Murray. I didn’t think he had the ability to stretch Stef to five.

But part of this is also to the discredit of Tsitsipas.

 

[speedysteve]

It's over!
Phew. Bedtime.

Murray interview tomorrow

 

[Winners or Errors]

Probably for the best, as Andy would have been basically a walkover in the next match after this. Still, encouraging.

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Now fight him, Andyyyy

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

YES!!!! Happy for Tsistsipas! When I saw that he would be playing Murray, a three-time Grand Slams champion, in the first round I knew it would be a tough match. But he got through it and I think he will play better from this point on...

 

[pj80]

Lost respect for Murry
