2024 US Open QF: [1] Jannik Sinner vs [5] Daniil Medvedev

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

If Sinner stays injury free I don’t whos gonna challenge him for a long time on hards now that Djokers probably retiring next year. Alcaraz just isn’t good enough on hards

 

[Aabye5]

It looks like we're in for another dud.

 

[SneederFeeder]

It's a race to the bottom for 1st Serves, but Sinner can handle the 2nd a lot better

 

[NYTennisfan]

Pathetic. I was hoping to see a competitive match and guy looks clueless.

He's much better when he plays aggressive like he did against Alcaraz last USO when he was ultra aggressive. This passive **** will get him blown off the court by Sinner.

 

[marc45]

are we post-prime Medvedev already?

 

[Racquet_smash]

It's a real mystery how someone can be this tall and still struggle for serve consistency. I just don't get it!

Up until 2021 it was the best in the top 10. From 2022 onwards, awful.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

He's much better when he plays aggressive like he did against Alcaraz last USO when he was ultra aggressive. This passive **** will get him blown off the court by Sinner.

Yup

 

[Spin Diesel]

Good morning. So far only saw the last two games - first my alarm was too early and the match didn‘t yet start and now it was too late..

Looks like some high quality ball striking! Anything special I did miss?

Zverev maybe, but he’d probably choke

 

[SneederFeeder]

are we post-prime Medvedev already?

Medvedev was born already post-prime

Alcaraz is much better to play aggressive against

Just like his Rafa Nadal

 

[NoleFam]

This was a terrible 1st set for Medvedev. Hardly ever see him make so many uncharacteristic errors. Definitely needs to find his game in the 2nd set.

 

[KingCarlitos]

First set to Sinner, That was fast.

 

[tennisjedi]

Dud of a first set. Hopefully it becomes more competitive from here.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Nice to see sinner get his mojo back. It’s been almost 8 months. . Clay and grass season was disappointing a bit cause we know he can play at this level

I mean... when you consider what kind of mental state he was playing in, with that huge sword of Damocles dangling over his head, I'd say he did alright.

Most players would have broken down completely, and wouldn't have been able to perform at all, let alone win dozens of matches and multiple tournaments.

 

[SneederFeeder]

Could've even been worse if Sinner had capitalized on the 2 DFs in the 1st game

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner has not put a step wrong. Meddy is getting punished in set 1.

 

[Subway Tennis]

Horrible level from Daniil ErrorDev so far.

You can’t play Sinner like this and expect to even win a set.

Hopefully the mad lad gets his act together. Otherwise this might be over quickly.

 

[Terenigma]

Alot of unforced errors flowing from Medvedev, he doesn't look comfortable handling Sinner's Carrotoid power!

 

[McGradey]

4D chess from Daniil Kasparov here. Serving like a dog and conceding the first set to create that mental lull and slowly start to drain Sinner's legs.

 

[Racquet_smash]

Very one sided 1st set.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

First set to Sinner, pretty easy start for him. I usually hate music during the changeovers, but I probably wouldn't if it were always with James Brown.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Pretty routine so far for Jannik Sinner - Medvedev going to have to step it up and change it up a little.

 

[tx10is]

that was too easy

 

[Winners or Errors]

Hmm, if Sinner can hit through Med on this court, it'll be a pretty short match. Why is Med not playing his game well? Caused by Sinner's pace and court coverage?

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

Wow, surprising end to the Iga match and surprising start to this match. I had really expected more. I hope it gets better.

 

[chjtennis]

Meddy is not going out without a fight. He's been a player who doesn't just give up. This one is not over yet.

 

[SneederFeeder]

Another DF.... Med, what you doing?

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Goodness gracious....it wouldn't hurt to get some serves in, Meddy.

 

[Nate7-5]

MCEnroe thinks Pearl Jam is good

 

[Racquet_smash]

Medvedev can't afford so many 2nd serves, hence why the double faults flow.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Commentators already saying Sinner length reminds them of Djokovic

 

[Aabye5]

This serving still looks pretty bad. Haven't seen the stats yet.

 

[dropshotlikeitshot]

This serving still looks pretty bad. Haven't seen the stats yet.

First serve percentage below 50% from both players

 

[Aabye5]

It's a race to the bottom for 1st Serves, but Sinner can handle the 2nd a lot better

For Pete's sake, why doesn't Med step in on the seconds? Sinner seems to be taking a lot off of them.

 

[InsideOut900]

Medvedev should hire Goran to help with his serve. He has been atrocious since the hernia surgery 2.5 years ago

 

[NoleFam]

This serving still looks pretty bad. Haven't seen the stats yet.

Medvedev - 44%
Sinner - 48%

Terrible serving from both.

 

[dropshotlikeitshot]

Sinner a UE machine now

 

[Carax]

Med breaks. We have a match.

 

[tennisjedi]

Madlad breaks.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Medvedev got away with that lob

 

[NeutralFan]

It amazes me how Sinner toyed with Pusherdev in first set , Son get it done in ,3

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Med is a weirdo. Most bipolar player ever. You think he’s done and then he decides to play good

 

[nolefam_2024]

Medvedev breaks . That backhand is insane it can take biggest bombs from Sinner


2-0

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Welp - Meddy draws first blood this set......maybe we have a match......Med will battle.

 

[chjtennis]

Told ya. Meddy is not easy to put away.

 

[jayvee]

Most of you here know s about tennis

 

[tx10is]

now we're talking

 

[Terenigma]

Well well, Medvedev breaks!

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

First serve percentage below 50% from both players

Sinner winning a bigger % of first serves he gets in (.86 to .67)
