2025 US Open - General Discussion [ATP]

[NoleFam]

Wth is this? To see who can double fault more in a tiebreak?

 

[roysid]

Felix at 5-4 with 2 serves

 

[messiahrobins]

Double fault anyone

 

[Legend of Borg]

Fedr serving right here.

 

[ibbi]

Nice forehands from Felix to get 2 MP.

 

[bw114]

4th set tiebreak combined stats: 11 points, 4 first serves in, 4 double faults.

Congrats to FAA. Almost feel bad for Alex but I just can’t given how he plays tennis

 

[dking68]

WHAT A MUG

 

[roysid]

2 mp

 

[zvelf]

FAA gets his redemption arc.

 

[Rattie]

Am I allowed to cry?

Absolutely you are. That has to be one of the worst QFs I’ve ever watched.

 

[Vincent-C]

Thank God

 

[ibbi]

3 semi finalists from the 2000’s! Yessssss!

 

[Al Czervik]

Thank god. Weird watching ADM just kind of run out of there. I don't think even he wanted to play five.

 

[messiahrobins]

Thank God. I like FAA at least. De Minaur in my favourite slam semi final would have made me depressed

 

[Legend of Borg]

FAA earned the hell out of his semifinal spot. Gutted out the win.

 

[Pass750]

Thank God this one is over.

 

[Hitman]

Its.....over.

 

[messiahrobins]

Wth is this? To see who can double fault more in a tiebreak?

Sinner or Musetti basically have a bye to the final

 

[MurraysMetalHip]

De Minaur is almost as big a choker as his girlfriend. Got to be one of the worst top 10 players ever, and I’ve seen Rublev play.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Another win for FAA, wasn't pretty, but at least he got it done.

On a positive note, the match is now over!

 

[Vincent-C]

Sinner / Musetti licking fangs..

 

[bluetrain4]

Good on FAA. I don't give him much chance against Sinner, but what a nice SF run after being in the woods for multiple years. At least he gets the chance to play Sinner in the later stages of a big tournament and see what he can do. Not long ago, that didn't seem possible. [Note: I know, I'm being premature and assuming Sinner beats Musetti - no disrespect to Musetti.]

 

[NYTennisfan]

Shocked that FAA won a couple of rounds nevermind making it to a US Open semi, he's been so lost in the wilderness for years.
He's going to get demolished by Sinner but I'd rather see a power guy like him go up against Sinner than a no weapon guy like Demon hoping that he can make a set competitive at least.

 

[NoleFam]

If FAA plays like that against Sinner, it will be over in about 90 minutes or less.

 

[ibbi]

Felix knocks off 3 'Next Gen' in a row. Doing the lords work.

 

[GhostDog]

FAA will get smoked by the Carrot, but quite happy with this result. Quite a shocking, unexpected run by FAA.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Lmfao I just tuned in to see b2b doubles I see you were all not exaggerating

4 doubles in a TB is WOAT status

 

[Nostradamus]

do you know why felix is playing so hard ? because he has a wedding in 2 weeks and he needs the money. lol

 

[NoleFam]

Sinner or Musetti basically have a bye to the final

Sinner does for sure if he's in the SF. I guess we will see what Musetti can bring to the court later. He's like the only guy left in the draw who I haven't seen play yet this tournament.

 

[middleballs]

Finally. I actually believe FAA will play better (or at least less bad) in the SF, he won’t feel the same pressure since he’ll be the underdog.

 

[Vincent-C]

do you know why felix is playing so hard ? because he has a wedding in 2 weeks and he needs the money. lol

Go, Mule!

 

[DSH]

Does FAA have a girlfriend who has a twin?

 

[Larry Duff]

De Pusher going home.

 

[ibbi]

De Minaur is almost as big a choker as his girlfriend. Got to be one of the worst top 10 players ever, and I’ve seen Rublev play.

His girlfriend just isn't very good! And unlike his girlfriend, and Rublev, he doesn't really have any weapons. He's like Ferrer, he's basically gutted his way into the top 10 on being sort of smart and kind of efficient.

 

[Larry Duff]

Does FAA have a girlfriend who has a twin?

A guy in the box was her double so probably yes.

 

[Rosstour]

Man that was like watching the 2020 Final.

 

[Nostradamus]

Go, Mule!

are you calling felix is a horse ?

 

[Breakpointerer]

Way more interested to see how Amanda comes out against Swiatek than this match lol. Glad it's over.

 

[messiahrobins]

Sinner does for sure if he's in the SF. I guess we will see what Musetti can bring to the court later. He's like the only guy in the draw who I haven't seen play yet this tournament.

So let's go back to April. Musetti was regularly getting to latter stages of clay court events ans for 2 sets was really troubling Alcaraz. Then he got injured. But he is from out of nowhere hitting 130 mphs serves..inthink this event he's up there with the biggest servers . That BH though is the key. Will it hold-up or cough up errors

 

[bluetrain4]

Does FAA have a girlfriend who has a twin?

His girlfriend is the sister of a tennis player, possibly? I thought I heard that.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Well this run by FAA certainly came out of nowhere!

 

[RSJfan]

FAA earned the hell out of his semifinal spot. Gutted Mugged out the win.

FIFY

 

[Pmasterfunk]

His girlfriend is the sister of a tennis player, possibly? I thought I heard that.

Wasn't she Tomljanovic's cousin?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Fair play to FAA. A great run for him to SF. ADM comes up short again.

 

[Hitman]

Wasn't she Tomljanovic's cousin?

Yes.

 

[Rosstour]

This Drysdale tribute is getting me misty, the best compliment I’ve ever received was when he told me “you have beautiful strokes young man!” when I was hitting in street clothes

Really didn’t understand until later how much of a big deal that was

 

[bluetrain4]

Wasn't she Tomljanovic's cousin?

Okay. I thought there was a link to a tennis player. So, not sister, but other relative.

 

[Aabye5]

T-T had to scoreboard watch, but this is the fightin' Felix that the world needed

 

[Aabye5]

This Drysdale tribute is getting me misty, the best compliment I’ve ever received was when he told me “you have beautiful strokes young man!” when I was hitting in street clothes

Really didn’t understand until later how much of a big deal that was

Are you The Real Musetti?

 

[bigjimbofan]

Nice tribute to Cliff Drysdale. Will miss him as I'm an oldie and have listened to him for many years. Goodbye and best wishes Mr Drysdale.
