2024 US Open Mens Quarterfinals: [9] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs [20] Frances Tiafoe (USA)

[bluetrain4]

That backhand was out on breakpoint, but I thought Tiafoe should have not let it go. He's one of the worse for misjudging out ball.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Outside of a few blips, Tiafoe is playing at a very high level.

 

[Lozo1016]

Tiafoe can't find a first serve but Dimitrov can't take advantage.

 

[bluetrain4]

I like Tiafoe more than most other American men, but god, I can never call myself a fan because of how ugly his groundstrokes are. How he makes it work I do not know

It works, because they're technically proficient. The best ever, no, but solid enough. They're certainly not pretty, but I don't find them THAT ugly.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Dimi raising his level, nice to see.

 

[vsdtrek]

Grigor to turn this around and win USO.

Hey - someone has to be bold!

Dude... he's dressed in beige!

 

[bullfan]

Some good serving by Tiafoe that game

 

[vsdtrek]

Dude... he's dressed in beige!

Ugh. Fortunately am just listening to the radio broadcast of this.

 

[BretH]

The poor first serve percentage makes the match feel boring while the actual play is awesome.

 

[Pheasant]

Tiafoe is playing the match of his life.

 

[jayvee]

Tiafoe is playing the match of his life.

No. Serving like s

 

[beltsman]

Nice match

Sweet BH pass from Dimitrov to force the TB

I don't expect anything other than a Grigor choke, though. Like the first set.

 

[jayvee]

That BH volley

 

[beltsman]

OMGosh DimiGOAT MAGIC

Shot of the tournament

 

[NYTennisfan]

This tiebreak is bringing the goods, from both guys

[bluetrain4]

It was a great shot by Dimitrov, but Tiafoe sometimes doesn't choose a spot behind a good approach. If Boris Becker and Pete taught be one thing, you have to move somewhere at the net. He was back and waiting to see the direction of the ball.

 

[beltsman]

Stupendous point from Dimitrov. What a combo

Of course. DF on set point...

[nolefam_2024]

[RSJfan]

 

[NYTennisfan]

That was an amazing tiebreak until the amazing choke on the last 3 points.

 

[Aabye5]

USO 2024 -- the Double Fault Finale

 

[Pheasant]

OMG!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!

 

[NedStark]

To be fair, this event is plagued by double faults and missed first serves.

 

[beltsman]

That went from a amazing TB to worst TB instantly. Hilarious stuff.

 

[Airspun]

Tighter than a tightrope

 

[Bartelby]

Triple double fault set point?

 

[beezer12]

 

[RSJfan]

Off the charts muggery from both.

 

[Aabye5]

Terrifying.

 

[Midaso240]

What a mugfest to end the tiebreak, trading double faults

 

[Airspun]

Chikefils would be proud
