Meddy backs up the break! 4-1

 

[dking68]

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

Sinner will clear the Russian lion in straights

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Meddy on a roll now. He’s found his groove. HC specialist!

 

[TennisFan3]

At this level, Medvedev would make the final and lose only to Novak.

 

[Jonesy]

This is like an octopus eating a rat.

 

[TennisFan3]

Meddy on a roll now. He’s found his groove. HC specialist!

People underestimate him. But he has a genuine shot.

 

[optic yellow]

Yeah I remember that too. It’s going to be similar to that next couple of days. It’s about 33 degrees tomorrow as a peak I think.

That is the early September NYC everyone knows and loves.

 

[Fabresque]

Medvedev is back in it. Big third coming up.

Yeah Alex has totally fallen apart. Not sure where this has come from.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

At this level, Medvedev would make the final and lose only to Novak.

Hes tough on this court for whatever reason for sure. . Horrible on grass. But good here

 

[Aabye5]

Meddy on a roll now. He’s found his groove. HC specialist!

Isn't De Minaur also a HC specialist?

 

[MeatTornado]

A much needed quick set for the maddest of lads

 

[Fabresque]

Djokovic-Fritz, GOAT vs US #1 is scheduled for the day session in the heat, but Shelton-Tiafoe, two Americans worse than Fritz, is apparently the prime time night session in the cool weather.

Hmmm…

 

[Tomxc]

 

[Hera]

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.

It’s on ESPN 3 I am watching now

 

[Aabye5]

Djokovic-Fritz, GOAT vs US #1 is scheduled for the day session in the heat, but Shelton-Tiafoe, two Americans worse than Fritz, is apparently the prime time night session in the cool weather.

Hmmm…

Tiafoe isn't a ton worse than Fritz. Besides, Shelton could end up being better than both. (Still, holding out for 'Foe to show his best)

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Wow, what a shot.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Med is gonna be hard as **** to beat here if he keeps this level going.

 

[Terenigma]

Good to see Medvedev coming to life again, he's great to watch in-form.

 

[Fabresque]

Tiafoe isn't a ton worse than Fritz. Besides, Shelton could end up being better than both. (Still, holding out for 'Foe to show his best)

Yeah but we’re forgetting the huge elephant in the room.

The best player ever can’t make it on the prime time slot?

 

[NYTennisfan]

We desperately need Skinner-Zverev to be a long, high quality match. It's just been mismatch after mismatch in this tournament. The usual US Open drama is sorely lacking.

 

[Fabresque]

Med is gonna be hard as *** to beat here if he keeps this level going.

US Open 2023 Semi-final
Alcaraz d. Medvedev
6-1, 6-4, 6-3

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

US Open 2023 Semi-final
Alcaraz d. Medvedev
6-1, 6-4, 6-3

Ehh I doubt that. It aint grass. This is Med's best surface by far

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Sinner/Djokovic would be one for the ages but a Djoker/Med finals rematch is awesome too. Djoker will be extra motivated against Med in the final I'm sure to avenge the loss

 

[Tomxc]

 

[Fabresque]

Ehh I doubt that. It aint grass. This is Med's best surface by far

Trust I’d love Med back in the final but I can’t see it.

yeah this is the match I wanted see. hopefully it's a good one. the other ones have gone as expected but demon is fighting

 

[NYTennisfan]

Djokovic-Fritz, GOAT vs US #1 is scheduled for the day session in the heat, but Shelton-Tiafoe, two Americans worse than Fritz, is apparently the prime time night session in the cool weather.

Hmmm…

Tiafoe-Shelton has much higher entertainment potential, two of the most flamboyant American Men players. Makes sense to put them on primetime.

 

[intrepidish]

Yeah but we’re forgetting the huge elephant in the room.

The best player ever can’t make it on the prime time slot?

He's not the best player ever. There is no such thing. He's one of the best and not particularly popular among the all time greats. The other match will appeal to a different crowd.

It's fine for him to play a day match. He has played at night too.

 

[TheNachoMan]

de Minaur peaked for a set. Congrats to him.

This isn’t even a straight up cope. This is something else, don’t even know how to reply to this.

 

[Winners or Errors]

At this level, Medvedev would make the final and lose only to Novak.

Or make the final and win.

 

[intrepidish]

You don't know how to reply to it because it's simply true on its face.

 

[Fabresque]

But it’s not. Facts don’t care about your feelings, and the facts point that Djokovic is the best player lol

There is no 'fact' which says that Djokovic is better than all players in history. You can't even begin to compare across generations meaningfully.

He's a super successful player and not as popular as other comparably successful players. In fact, Alcaraz already commands more crowd support and he's barely getting started.

Yeah, Djokovic can be the Triple H of tennis. All the championships but gets booed out of the building. lol

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Big hold for Meddy there! ADM starting to play better.

Yeah, we can’t compare the eras and generations, which is why we take the regular statistical approach, just measure all the numbers. And guess who leads all the numbers?

Yeah this idea that Djokovic isn’t popular is so annoying. Maybe he’s vilified in England, the US, and Australia, but he’s pretty much universally loved everywhere else.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Wow! Insane speed from mad lad!

 

[TheNachoMan]

I’m gonna be asleep by the time Zod/Sinner starts. Sad!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Meddy Goating!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I’m gonna be asleep by the time Zod/Sinner starts. Sad!

I need a coffee to stay awake! Lol

[tudwell]

Hmmm…

Tiafoe is easily more popular than Fritz, and both he and Shelton are huge crowd-pleasers. It would have been a shame if they’d had to play in the day. The atmosphere in Ashe tomorrow night is gonna be incredible.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Med is a good player.

 

[intrepidish]

No, numbers from different times and places mean different things. This GOAT obsession was ridiculous with other players and it's ridiculous with Djokovic too.

As for popularity, you just basically cited the all the slams and said 'maybe Djokovic isn't popular there...'

You should quit while you're behind.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

To remix a quote I read.

''I'm glad you posted this so I could make sure this actually happened and it wasn’t some weird dream. ''

Would be hard to tell at the moment because I've been having those weird I'm ill nightmares. Scary stuff, Tony Soprano style.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Impressive from Meddy after a poor first set.

 

[davced1]

What happened to de Minaur? Just fading away no determination left.
