2024 US Open Mens Quarterfinals: [4] Alexander Zverev (GER) vs [12] Taylor Fritz (USA)

[SneederFeeder]

Lmao I missed this.

A shame Musetti was already out or we would've gotten the trio for a 3rd consecutive time after Wimbledon and Olympics

 

[mike danny]

I really feel like Zverev thought this was his, and he couldn't believe Fritz didn't just hand it to him.

Zverev thinking he's Fed/Nadal/Djokovic or something and players will be intimidated by him.

 

[Tallawah Tennis]

Bro, performance of his life from Taylor Fritz. So, so, so good for him. Two former finalists knocked out.

Yah man, hadn't expected him to get past Sasha, great focus / belief. Good job to make the sf. Disappointed for Sasha, this was a good opportunity. Beaten by the better player on the day.

I would much rather watch Grigor's backhand than Tiafoe's forehand in a Slam SF, that's for sure. I certainly root for him to even make the final and maybe have a shot at the title.

Agree that verbatim. Love Grigor's game. But **sigh**, will he actually do it?

 

[bigjimbofan]

For some reason I read that as Gingrich. I thought you were comparing him to him, not that you know who that is. I guess I need to take a break and rest my eyes for a bit.

LOL ! Yeah I had to edit that right away. Auto spell you know..... : )

Fritz is becoming Zverev's bete-noire in the Slams. Loses to him at Wimbledon and now at the US Open!

From 2-0 up too.

Lol, ok. I thought I was seeing things for a minute there.

 

[robyrolfo]

Love Grigor, but Tiafoe gotta do this. Come on. It would be a day match, so not quite the same thing, but it'd still be epic.

This is a tough one for me. Both Tiafoe and Dimitrov are two of my favorite players on tour, and two of the more interesting guys to watch. Tiafoe would be great for the story, and because you can see how much it means to him, and likewise Dimitrov would be a great story, and his tennis is the most beautiful in the world right now.

So I guess you could say, either way, whomever wins BETTER beat Fritz. Can't stand his boring tennis, his lame attitude, his airhead persona, and most of all his completely useless, publicity-hound girlfriend.

 

[Hitman]

Navarro beat Gauff back to back in Wimbledon and USO and now Fritz has beaten Zverev back to back in Wimbledon and USO.

Good job by vacuous Influencer-dude today, no doubt.

Go, Dimi

Was thinking the same. This increased Griogor's chance a little bit. Tiafoe won't be easy though.

 

[pirhaksar]

Zed just blew up another good opportunity at a slam. What a waste. I guess this means Fritz is no longer a mug.

Looks like Fritz is becoming what Andy Ruiz is to Anthony Joshua to Zverev.

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

So very happy Fritz dismantled that violent offender Zverev. Just another majors he failed at, as he grows older.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Couldn’t watch at work, but … yes!!!! Hate watching Fritz strokes, but taking out the Ziraffe gets him some fan points from me.

Now if we can just get another American semi finalist…

 

[Vincent-C]

> I guess this means Fritz is no longer a mug.

It does not follow.

Mug beating mug does not equal no mug.

 

[RSJfan]

Hard to believe Ginepri made a major semi.

He was a very solid player. And he got Coria in the QFs during Coria’s major yips period. Took Andre to five sets in the semis. It was a heck of a run. Vastly better than anything Tsitsicrap and other more highly regarded players have done in NY.

 

[sportsfan1]

Fritz making the most of it now that his nemesis novak is out.

Fritz making the most of it now that his nemesis novak is out.

Also his other nemesis Brandon Holt lost in qualies.

 

[sportsfan1]

Also his other nemesis Brandon Holt lost in qualies.

Fritz 0-9 vs Novak (including 3 in slams when novak was injured).
0-1 vs holt?

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Absolutely no inventiveness with these two. Just cowardly tennis.

Hot take Goober.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Very surprised Fritz won, I thought he'd crumble after the second and choke the TB.

Good of your to admit your shortcomings in picking winners.

I'll be rooting for Grigor, mainly because of the uninformed tennis fans who will be rooting wildly for Lil Foe.

 

[RSJfan]

It’s very disappointing Zed lost. Apart from a few malcontents, all of TTW was pulling for Zed. So was the non-seal portion of Ashe.

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

Ha! There is no "all of TTW" that was supporting that violent offender. He's a well-known washout at the majors, and that's a record he has no trouble maintaining.

Grigorious in straights.

 

[Tennfan123]

Lol. Zod fans seriously thought he could win this and he flops to Fritz.
Fritz!

 

[sportsfan1]

Fritzs tennis is so boring it makes you want to root for zverev.

 

[roysid]

Who is supporting whom is individual choice. If more people are supporting zverev, so be it. The reasons could be

Zverev is on the top scene in tennis for quite some now. In fact from 2017. Whereas Fritz broke into top level only from 2022. So people are seeing zverev more.

Also Fritz had a close run in slams but couldn't win. People think its his best chance.

Or maybe fritzs entourage including gf is not liked by many

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

The violent loser doing his usual violent loser thing.
