2023 US Open - Official Thread for Men's Singles

[Sambuccashake]

Hoping for a Ranonic Bombardement against "The philosophers backhand" today.
I am foreseeing a shankfest.

 

[Vincent-C]

I'm picking Ruud for the win.
Djokovic hasn't performed at the USO for a while. Carlitos is due a massive let down. Sinner is a flop. Rune is injured.
Ruud is my man.

I've got Ruud now, too. 100%

ABA

 

[Vincent-C]

Sadly, it won't. The suspension of disbelief is extremely powerful in these parts...

Omerta runs strong..

 

[Kralingen]

T-minus 15 minutes. Is anyone else excited?

Holger up second on Court 5, my brother has tickets and promises to watch live. He texted me this morning, "so what time does bratty Dane darling play?" I wish I was there.

I will be following him, but from a safe distance. Still annoyed he straight-setted Shap at the FO awhile back..

Thiem-bublik to open up proceedings.

Yeah think I'm opening up my us open viewing with this one too. Was trying to pull up Gasquet actually, but stream buggy for me atm.

Yeah it’s a good first round matchup.

 

[Kralingen]

Horrendous start for Shelton.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

One of the worst 2nd serves I seen from bublik there! Lol

 

[Vincent-C]

T-minus 15 minutes. Is anyone else excited?

Yes. Go, Ruud!

Such a nice boy..

 

[ultimathule]

The crowd loves Domi

 

[Hitman]

Come on Thiem.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Thiem breaks! Well deserved as started the better player. The crowd love him.

 

[fundrazer]

Geeze. 119mph 2nd serve on bp, forehand that's right on baseline and in the bh corner of Thiem. Saves one.

Derps away the 2nd chance with a dropshot into net. Thiem breaks.

Shelton also breaks it seems.

 

[ultimathule]

Them solid so far. Bublik erratic which is par for the course.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Thiem loses his range and bublik gets the break back. 3-4!

 

[ibbi]

Marozsan giving Gasquet an absolute beating after 1 set

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Thiem’s FH power looking good.

 

[ultimathule]

Lol , Sasha. Underarm serve at break point.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Marozsan giving Gasquet an absolute beating after 1 set

I can’t believe gasquet is still going to be fair. Gasquet been bad for ages. He’s seem not bothered though and just happy to still play a round or 2 and take his money! Haha

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Thiem a set up! Nice attacking tennis from Dom!

 

[NYTennisfan]

Nice to see Thiem playing good tennis again.
It's really hard to believe but he's only 29 so there's time for him (in todays' game especially) to get back to where he was before.

 

[fundrazer]

Gasquet going down fast. Down a double break already in the 2nd.

Only thing looking good for him right now is that shirt.

 

[Kralingen]

Thiem looks confident again.

 

[Rattie]

Why is Alcaraz’s match not listed tomorrow?

ths Bublik Clown in messing up my Draw picks............. how am i supposed to win the MILLION dollars with you clowing around ,,,,,,,,,,,

[Tennfan123]

Bublik is not to be trusted and Thiem is washed up.
But if Thiem wins, I don't see the win 'going anywhere'.

Clown smashes his racket first time,, it wasn't enough so he had to destroy the other side...............LOL

 

[BeatlesFan]

Townsend match is done, Holger coming up!

 

[ibbi]

There are reasons it's not great, but this Ivashka and Baby Cerundolo match has grown into a really nice clash of styles.

Round 2, nothing! He was in a couple of round 3's at the slams just last year and then he started this year off with a title, and after that... Yeah, it's been all downhill since January.

 

[Rattie]

Weird. Half the matches have disappeared on there now. Must be updating

 

[junior74]

There are some who call me Tim

 

[MeatTornado]

Shocked to see Timmy's scoreline right now.

 

[chuckersthenut]

Bublik wtf? He's getting demo'd by domi.

Wolf about to go two sets down to Zhang is surprising. Also looks like Shelton has steadied the ship.

 

[Olli Jokinen]

Is Bublik injured or what? Looks really strange out there.

 

[Olli Jokinen]

Shocked to see Timmy's scoreline right now.

I think Bublik's injured. He's not even trying. Or he's like trying every fourth point or something. Thiem is completely baffled and playing like total garbage now. Horrible match.

 

[Tennfan123]

Lol Bublik is such a mess.
Please not Timmy having to try and serve it out again.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Holger goes straight for Baena's head at the net. Chanelling Lendl!

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Threw 5 bucks on Borges + Watanuki + Droguet at about 80-to-1 odds...

 

[NoleFam]

Come on thru Thiem!!! Tough luck for Bublik.

 

[Tennfan123]

Nice draw for Thiem.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

LOL is this the first time you watch Bublik?

Two thirds of his career have been Tank Town extraordinaire...

 

[flyingboris]

Man, just when you thought Bublik was becoming a serious contender. Happy for Thiem though, it's got to feel good to be in the USO second round.

 

[Jonesy]

Wow! Is Dom back? I guess he won't need his learner version anymore.
