2024 US Open 2R: [1] Jannik Sinner (ITA) vs [14] Tommy Paul (USA)

[beltsman]

WHAT A SHOT

 

[Pheasant]

Sinner breaks. That should about do it.

Paul gave it his all. He tried. But he’s way overmatched here.

 

[BenC]

****. I guess I'll go walk the dogs.

 

[NeutralFan]

Medvedev can beat him, there's no doubt about that. No one has been as consistent at the USO the last 5 years, not even Djokovic. He loves the Arthur Ashe court

Maybe but Sinner is a force of nature when he goes in lockdown and hits his missile ground strokes . I don't think Medvedev has any chance if Sinner plays his A level.

 

[NeutralFan]

I'll hit the bed again as well, pal.
Bloody hell, what a snoozefest.

You're not a tennis fan who can't enjoy beautiful tennis (depth , consistency and powerful tennis)

 

[FeroBango]

Sinner breaks. That should about do it.

Paul gave it his all. He tried. But he’s way overmatched here.

Wait until he meets Sinner at Montreal.

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Man I didn't know Tommy was this entertaining! Now I know why he gives Carlos problems

 

[tx10is]

nobody's stopping sinner not even meddy he is on a mission

 

[NYTennisfan]

Tommy had his chances, up a double break in the first when Sinner was spraying errors, the Djokosmash and countless missed second serves in the tiebreaks but when you give the top guys a lifeline, it's over in a flash. He'll be kicking himself over this one.

 

[NeutralFan]

If Sinner wins USO hype will be like nothing ttw has ever seen

 

[diggler]

Tommy Paul has to redline just to stay in this.

 

[RSJfan]

A bagel in the third would be so tasty.

 

[NYTennisfan]

If Sinner wins USO hype will be like nothing ttw has ever seen

Yep, it'll be utterly unbearable around here.

 

[timmyy]

Juice just cruising towards end of this match.

 

[NeutralFan]

Yep, it'll be utterly unbearable around here.

Don't know what you mean, there's nothing wrong in acknowledging and hailing a great player and his achievement.

 

[graycrait]

Match is over, both players need to give their WADA samples immediately after the match - no? Which one do both have TUE's?

 

[TennisFan3]

The Med Sinner QF is a virtual final. Whoever wins that match is likely the UsOpen 2024 Champion.

 

[Carax]

Crowd has been utter trash. Rooting big time for Sinner here.

 

[NeutralFan]

The Med Sinner QF is a virtual final. Whoever wins that match is likely the UsOpen 2024 Champion.

Hey prophet, do you think Sinner is gonna dominate HC slams for years?

 

[NYTennisfan]

The Med Sinner QF is a virtual final. Whoever wins that match is likely the UsOpen 2024 Champion.

Yep, pretty much. Only Z has a shot and he's a clear underdog against either. Might as well not even play the semi on the Med/Sinner side.

 

[RSJfan]

Crowd has been utter trash. Rooting big time for Sinner here.

Have you ever attended a pro tennis match? This crowd is so tame.

 

[SneederFeeder]

The Med Sinner QF is a virtual final. Whoever wins that match is likely the UsOpen 2024 Champion.

If they kill each other in the match, the winner might not have enough left for Z-bot in the final

But yeah Sinner and Med are the obvious 2 main contenders now

 

[NeutralFan]

Yep, pretty much. Only Z has a shot and he's a clear underdog against either. Might as well not even play the semi on the Med/Sinner side.

I think Z can beat Sinner , he has great h2h advantage and is not scared of him.

 

[TennisFan3]

Hey prophet, do you think Sinner is gonna dominate HC slams for years?

Who knows? He or Alcaraz aren't cut from the same cloth as the big 3.
These guys get injured too much and are not consistent enough.
I don't believe we will have sustained dominance at the top. It will likely be multiple players winning slams.

 

[RG GOD]

Doper is gonna dope

 

[Gary Duane]

Juice just cruising towards end of this match.

I find the name "juice" ironic since it was also the nickname of OJ Simpson.

Sinner's game is more suited to HC, Alcaraz has trouble beating lesser players on HC and has not improved at all.

 

[Carax]

Have you ever attended a pro tennis match? This crowd is so tame.

What's up, "new user".

 

[timmyy]

I find the name "juice" ironic since it was also the nickname of OJ Simpson.

Yep

 

[NYTennisfan]

I think Z can beat Sinner , he has great h2h advantage and is not scared of him.

He has the game to beat him but not the mentality in a finals match.

I think Tiafoe or Dimitrov can give him a tussle in the semi though, moreso than the other side.

 

[NeutralFan]

He has the game to beat him but not the mentality in a finals match.

I'll be rooting for Z in final , hopefully he pulls it off.

[TennisFan3]

Yep, pretty much. Only Z has a shot and he's a clear underdog against either. Might as well not even play the semi on the Med/Sinner side.

This is correct. Z has very little chance against either of Med or Sinner in a slam final. He is going to choke badly as he always does.

I think this is a great chance for Med. Sinner is playing great, but if Med can zone in on his serve and product a sublime lockdown performance he can outlast Sinner physically. If the match goes 5, I favor Med.

The incentive is that the SF is as good as a walkover.

Agree on Med vs Z, Z has a mental blockage against Meddy.

 

[Nostradamus]

thsi is now Sinner's US oepn to win or lose. he still wearing that old shoes too

 

[SneederFeeder]

I'm glad Sinner got a hard QF like Tommy here because if he went against Med without being tried by fire here, and put out serving stats like the 1st 2 sets, he'd have a very uphill battle.

Better to be slightly more tired than a lot more undercooked

 

[TennisFan3]

If they kill each other in the match, the winner might not have enough left for Z-bot in the final

Well there is 4 full days between the QF and the final. Plus the SF is as good as a walkover. So Sinner or Med won't run out of gas in the final.

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

oh well... pretty much over at this point. Looking forward to tomorrow's matches.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Fun stat: Sinner has won 14 of his last 15 tiebreakers...

 

[nolefam_2024]

Ttw over exaggerates


Sinner is best at holding serve in 2024. Second set was his worst despite 1-4 start in first and yet TP barely pushed him to deuce.

At this rate it would be non essential how much serve % sinner has vs players of high caliber like Paul. Only vs very best does he even need serve to be great.

 

[chjtennis]

Sinner reminds me of this.

Sinner's game is more suited to HC, Alcaraz has trouble beating lesser players on HC and has not improved at all.

Alcaraz has better potential, talent and tennis IQ. No one knows what the Alcaraz ceiling is but for Sinner it might be close.
Still mentally I find both suspect. The tendency to get injured, lose concentration, get discouraged from losses for a long time etc etc.

 

[Fabresque]

This sport is in the mud man. A doper is about to win the U.S. Open. No justice. Would rather watch snooker.

No one is stopping Zed. Sorry to tell you mate.

 

[SneederFeeder]

Fun stat: Sinner has won 14 of his last 15 tiebreakers...

I will never not be convinced he saw people making fun of his Tie-Break losses early on at Halle, and made it his mission to start crushing Tie-Break after Tie-Break

Sinner is your world number 1.

Paul being ground down

An injustice. Shouldn’t have been on a court from March-August.
