2024 US Open Men’s Singles

[junior74]

Our beloved NextGen are getting old.

I had to giggle when I saw @KingCarlitos 's thread on ranking and age.
Our beloved NextGen failed miserably. A couple of slams to share. Holy cow, what a band of lost brothers...

 

[ibbi]

Shelton and Agut getting testy. Bobby is holding Ben up and he is complaining to the umpire about it. Exciting times.

They came, they saw, they tried their best.

 

[ibbi]

Shelton breaks. Bobby not getting his firsts in and hitting too short.

 

[Aabye5]

They came, they saw, they tried their best.

But did they really? Maybe Medvedev and Rublev.

Have you never heard the song… My Best Was Never Good Enough?

 

[jm1980]

Carballes Baena whining and asking for the umpire to dock a point from Shang, alleging ball abuse

Replay showed Shang lightly tapping a ball over the fence

 

[Aabye5]

Have you never heard the song… My Best Was Never Good Enough?

If you don't have anything nice to say...but honestly, I do think they weren't lacking in talent.

 

[ibbi]

Humbert drops set 3. Rough.

 

[Dane_is_Finnish_OJ]

I think Rinderknech is done. Unless he’s saving his strength for set 5.

 

[ibbi]

Musetti and Meow Meow beginning now!

 

[Aabye5]

I was feeling pretty good about not going with Etch-it-sketch as my first choice when he was vomiting on court, but now it looks dire.

 

[PMF]

Yikes. Upset of the day looming. Humbert.

 

[jm1980]

Yikes. Upset of the day looming. Humbert.

Comesaña is the guy who knocked out Rublev in the first round of Wimbledon

 

[Aabye5]

Shang into round 3

 

[Tallawah Tennis]

Current dudes through to 3rd round: Popyrin / Dimitrov/ Tiafoe/ Lehecka/ Etcheverry/ Zverev/ Griekspoor/ Nakashima / Shang. Comesana likely to follow suit.
Watching Musetti/Kecmanovic .......... hope LM can play well.

 

[fedfan24]

Musetti immediately broken to love vs a big serving ball basher. Can we not just have a match where both guys hold for a bit to make it interesting?

 

[ibbi]

Shelton takes the second against Bobby Agut. Performs some weird obnoxious celebration after converting set point very impressively.

 

[junior74]

They came, they saw, they tried their best.

Always felt like they were a little indifferent...

 

[ibbi]

Musetti pinned way behind the baseline by Kecmanovic. He better get outta that in a hurry.

 

[junior74]

Hope Shelton can do it in straights, to make a stand. Farewell, old guard.

 

[Vincent-C]

> they tried their best.

if only..

 

[jm1980]

Rublev seems to have stabilized. Up 4-2 in the fifth now

Meanwhile Comesaña is through with a 4-set win over Humbert

 

[Aabye5]

Comesana takes out Humbert in 4

 

[junior74]

Comesana takes out Humbert in 4

Humbert is starting to become a real disappointment. Looked so talented years back...

 

[fedfan24]

Musetti gone! Looks like he’s headed for the clown list. So far-
Rune
Tsitsipas
Tabillo
Kachanov
Shapovalov

 

[Dane_is_Finnish_OJ]

Rublev takes the three last sets pretty easily.

Shapovalov

Easy now. Only lost a set.

I fear Ruud joins later on. Gurufils likes beating seeded players and then fade away.

 

[AM75]

It's sad that Rinderknech lost.

 

[FloridaAG]

Wow, Rinderknech is the noisest player ever.

One of those guys that screams after he hits the ball it seems

 

[fedfan24]

I hope he does, clears the path for a Zverev Djokovic semi!

 

[MichaelNadal]

Currently watching Musetti

 

[MichaelNadal]

Fantastic point from Ben Shelton to get the break in the 3rd, will serve for the match

 

[ibbi]

COLD and brief handshake at net between Shelton and Bobby.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Shelton vs Tiafoe…… ok ill watch that lol

 

[junior74]

COLD and brief handshake at net between Shelton and Bobby.

Almost like a handshake from the olden days

 

[fedfan24]

Musetti to serve for 2nd set

 

[Tallawah Tennis]

Heh,heh, the comm in the Musetti match makes revelation that LM is playing better in the 2nd. Dude can be forgiven that pink outfit now that he's found his groove - some stunning hitting/backhands. Serving for the set - but making a meal of it. And finally, he holds and takes the 2nd.

Ruud's socks!

 

[AM75]

I thought at some point that he will give birth soon. But I saw him live last year and think his tennis is cool and became a fan.

 

[Don Felder]

Was Ben pretty obnoxious to RBA in the match? RBA is one of the nicest guys around. Spent a lot of time talking to him in Cinci as he was as at our hotel.

I’ve warmed to Ben recently but I wish he would show more respect to the vets.

 

[Aabye5]

Ruud has the break. I think he'll be showing La Monf the door soon.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Glad Zverev is quietly sneaking through the draw

Shelton hasn't a clue, interpersonally. It's hard to even get angry at one so oblivious.. the ride down could be rough.

 

[KingCarlitos]

Can’t wait for the annual clownfest between Shelton and Tiafoe.

[Rosstour]

THE WAY Musetti lifted the finger for the challenge on that not-up call....absolutely boss and I'm not the guy that geeks out on "alpha" stuff...but that was just so Italian

 

[KingCarlitos]

Glad Zverev is quietly sneaking through the draw

I’m not.

 

[Rosstour]

Mago breaks back, hope he can finish this off in 4 sets

 

[fedfan24]

He’s making hard work of this! Should be dead and buried this.
