2023 US Open - Official Thread for Men's Singles

Daniil will madly rise from the ashes

 

[ultimathule]

Point of the match.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Med's decline I guess is apparent now. Not the Med of old thats for sure. 2-4 years ago he was a juggernaut here at the OPen. Now hes just "mehh"

 

[Winners or Errors]

Wait, you picked the guy and you are cheering for him to lose?

Yeah. I picked Meddy because I think he has the game to win it again, but I like Demon as a player more - even though both of their games bore me to tears.

[Tennfan123]

Meddy shoulda won 3-4 HC slams. He’s declining at 27, which is normal.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Med had his chances to break there - he'd better get it together soon.

 

[Tennis_dude101]

The Bull holds!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

ADM escapes. More wasted chances from meddy

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This is a big grind. Meddy desperately needs this 2nd set in my view

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

If Med goes out it definitely gets easier for SinnGOAT

H2H is a funny thing.

De Minaur has won his last 2 matches against Medvedev.

Yet De Minaur has lost all 10 matches he's played against Tsitsipas including 2 this year in straight sets.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Demon so fast around the court. Great play there!

 

[Winners or Errors]

Tsitsipas can hit him off the court. Medvedev just doesn't play that game. He actually plays a very similar game to Demon.

 

[Tomxc]

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Demon beating meddy at his own game once again so far.

 

[Tomxc]

 

[MeatTornado]

As much as this match is about how listless Medvedev is, it's also pretty shocking to see de Minaur playing this well.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

On the form of these guys, I really think Rublev will fancy his chances of making his first slam SF

 

[L4S10s]

how can i watch this match on the usa. ESPN isn't showing it and ESPN+ doesn't have louis armstrong.

How does espn not have a feed of this match?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Match is on Alex De Minaur racquet.

 

[L4S10s]

How does espn not have a feed of this match?

very briefly. they're mostly showing sabalenka kasatkina which is a snoozefest

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

All these years, you would think Med could find a trainer to help him put on weight. His goundstrokes are just creampuff. God. Sabalenka has more power than him

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

ADM choke alert!

 

[BeatlesFan]

They're not showing it on ESPN 2 or ESPN 3 either. We're screwed. ESPN will be showing Sinner-Zedrot though after the WTA match is done.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Meddy with 2 SPs

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Meddy bear strikes back. Game on!

 

[tudwell]

And just like that, we’re even!

De Minaur should be getting into net more. The match is turning more into a baseline battle, which is exactly what Medvedev wants.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Who is this guy Dinosaur?
Never heard of him before.
Should he be taken seriously?
How is he on the shorty-meter?
Any competition for Tiny?

 

[Tennfan123]

Lol AdM leaving the court now.
This is getting silly.

 

[Tomxc]

 

[TennisFan3]

Meddy bear strikes back. Game on!

I have a Meddy vs Novak final.
Med will beat Sinner in the SF in 5.
Novak will beat Med in the final in 4.

 

[tx10is]

Two of the hottest days of the summer coming up here in New York. Not good for those guys that struggle with the heat, Djokovic included.

Yeah very true.

djokovic probably playing at night he likes the 7pm start time

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

djokovic probably playing at night he likes the 7pm start time

He’s playing early to mid afternoon. At around 2pm

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Mad lad turning this match around nicely.

 

[fundrazer]

Schedule already up for tomorrow. Novak Fritz 2nd on day session. Tiafoe Shelton 2nd for the night session

 

[Fabresque]

Medvedev is back in it. Big third coming up.

 

[tx10is]

They're not showing it on ESPN 2 or ESPN 3 either. We're screwed. ESPN will be showing Sinner-Zedrot though after the WTA match is done.

check epn+ again because they are showing it on espn+ in my area. had to do the same thing for Rublev because they were showing coco/pegula doubles on espn.

 

[chjtennis]

Great post. But a big leap comparing Shelton to Sampras. Even as a 19 yr old Sampras' game was more put together than Shelton's. I would actually be surprised if Shelton gets through Tiafoe.
Also Sampras didn't have to contend with a player at Novak's level. Shelton/Tiafoe don't have a prayer against this Novak.

Lendl was regarded like Djokovic is now back in the days. He was good and had that aura. Anyway, yes, Shelton is no Sampras and Lendl is no Djokovic, but it will be and exciting match if it happens, and a good learning experience for the young Ben. He just won a mixed doubles match. I didn't know he was participating in it as well.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Meddy on top now.

 

[chjtennis]

De Minaur is a solid player who does everything well. He just doesn't have height and power but he has speed. Medvedev just needs to be patient, shouldn't expect an easy match.

 

[tx10is]

He’s playing early to mid afternoon. At around 2pm

oh wow my bad it looks like they moved him up to showcase shelton/ tiafoe at night

 

[Kralingen]

I was really hoping for an end to Medvedev on my TV but sadly here we are

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Octopus beginning to engulf ADM in his tentacles. There is the break!

 

[intrepidish]

What a lob from Alex

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

oh wow my bad it looks like they moved him up to showcase shelton/ tiafoe at night

No worries. I can see why shelton/tiafoe is the night match to be fair. That one will be fireworks with 2 crowd pleasing American players.

 

[dking68]

Meddy shoulda won 3-4 HC slams. He’s declining at 27, which is normal.

Sinner and Alcaraz will blast him into retirement at 31

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Med stepping up now.. Sinner gonna have to go through Guantlet for this title. Definitely not easy

 

[Alcawrath]

If the "agenda" you mean is that an American sports network and the US Open are favoring the most exciting young American tennis player, then yes, they're probably pushing an agenda
