2025 US Open - General Discussion [ATP]

[Krish0608]

Watching these two play, seems like Sinner don’t get much of a practice next round as well. He’ll crush either of these two mugs without breaking a sweat. He runs the risk of being a bit undercooked for the final.

 

[Kralingen]

De Minaur tries to push his way to a win and it fails.

 

[paolo2143]

Finally we actually have a real match in the quarter finals, rather than snooze fests so far, although Novak match wasn't too bad.

If you're not going to show De Mugaur and Muger Aliassime any respect, at least show a little for Mugsetti!

@Kralingen thoughts? Lol

That’s actually an improvement from his normal cockiness. Hopefully it pays off.

Hopefully this means they prepare well for the match and also for all the psychological warfare that Novak will predictably employ on Friday. Carlos needs to be locked in and not get distracted by the drama that is bound to ensue from the other side of the net. In Australia he was way too distracted and unprepared,

The Italian mug (who I nevertheless love to watch) will bend over for the German.

 

[roysid]

He was, he's not really anymore. The guy just has no killer instinct. A guy that size should be dominating De Minaur, instead he's returning his serve from 5 feet behind the baseline.

Well demon returned the favor. Had multiple chances to win the second set. Faltered at important points.
His strategy wasn't bad. Attack the forehand . Most of the time faa was in defensive position with fh

 

[roysid]

I wonder if Sinner is watching this.

I am sure not at all. Both are his pigeons.
In any case he will be preparing for museti match. And tomorrow may see some of it to discuss strategy

 

[ibbi]

If these two keep going at this pace, Sinner and Musetti won't get done till 7am.

 

[Larry Duff]

What a mug

 

[Enceladus]

Minotaur hit DF at Felix's BP! Felix have a break in the 3rd set!

 

[roysid]

This looks same way as zverev faa match.
After losing second set, zverev imploded. The same is now happening with demon

 

[Enceladus]

Felix hit amazing FH DTL winner and saved Alex' BP!

 

[ibbi]

Felix gets away with it defending his second BP. Whew!

 

[Tallawah Tennis]

Neither of them have a snowball’s chance in hell against Jannik. This match is almost pointless.

Yah man. I'm not normally one for predictions, but ADM and FAA are who they are. Had a good run, one will get to the sf, the likely pinnacle for them. Agree too that it'll likely be Jannik in the sf, and then into the final.
The path for Novak and Carlitos seems less certain ....................... let's see. Should be a cracker.

 

[Dilexson]

I hope Felix takes this in 4. Don't see how ADM could be a tougher opponent for Sinner.

 

[roysid]

Faa should win in 4 sets

 

[Vincent-C]

This is boring

 

[Down_the_line]

Felix hasn't been at his best, but I'm impressed with how steady he's been overall. It's easy to get super frustrated against Demon, especially when you're an attacking player like Felix trying to end the points.

And just after I say that he sprays an easy forehand well long and gets broken. 5-all.

 

[bw114]

This match is going to be six hours long, lol

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Back on serve. Hope it’s a long punishing match for you all because of the shady comments to both lovely guys lol.

 

[Al Czervik]

Back on serve. Hope it a long punishing match for you all lol.

Lol, I get tired of all the mug talk, but that was not a clutch way to close out the set. This is ugly.

 

[roysid]

Felix has earlier saved two bps. With the second one in by barest of margins.
But while serving, his luck vanished

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Lol, I get tired of all the mug talk, but that was not a clutch way to close out the set. This is ugly.

If I have to read one more way for someone trying to fit Mug into these guys last names, my eyes might stick to the back of my head.

It’s not been the prettiest but I’ve seen far far worse. Also they’re acting as if they would have preferred what QF? Rublev v Riedi? What was the alternative? Zverev lost 3R. Tsitsipas 2R. They weren’t even close to making the QF.

They’re hating two nice guys who’ve done well. Blame the real mugs who can’t even win more than 2 or 3 matches at slams lol.

Agreed. These guys may not be anyone's favourites but they've earned their place here.

de Minaur gifts the break right back! Hopefully FAA can serve it out here.

 

[Rattie]

Three hours in and the third set isn’t over. What a grind!

 

[ibbi]

ADM looks sort of toast. He doesn't give anything away, so it's hard to say, but there's got to be more to it than mental midgetry.

 

[Rattie]

Demon down at 40 % first serve and yet Felix is only just ahead. Ugh, I hate this match.

I just want to say that my comical overuse of the word Mug is intended as comedy because I find the term so goddamn funny They have earned their spots, and they do deserve to be here, but this is still a terrible tennis match, and there is nothing wrong with pointing that out. If two guys have each won 4 matches without too much fuss (each only dropped 1 set getting here, not like they can claim fatigue) then it is hardly harsh to expect more than this.

 

[ibbi]

De Minaur back down to 35% first serves in. Crazy.

 

[Down_the_line]

Finally, FAA takes the 3rd set. I have to step out but I'm hoping Felix ends this in the 4th. If not, maybe I'll still be able to watch in two hours time the way this match is going.

It would be a great mercy for FAA to take it in the fourth.

 

[Legend of Borg]

FAA needs to put this match away now. No 5 set shenanigans.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

I tuned in just in time to see FAA fumble his service game at 5-3, but he somehow managed to steal the third set anyway. In the short time I've watched, the level was pretty up and down. Can't imagine watching for 3+ hours

 

[NoleFam]

FAA has to do things the hard way. I do hope he pulls this out since I believe he can give a better match in the semis.

 

[Hitman]

Don't mess this up Felix.

 

[bluetrain4]

Wish I could watch this, but I'm diligently following the scores, rooting for FAA.

 

[Vincent-C]

Demon is going to effing win this set, I just know it.

Gaah

 

[roysid]

ADM looks sort of toast. He doesn't give anything away, so it's hard to say, but there's got to be more to it than mental midgetry.

He is missing a lot. To avoid felixs fh, he makes strange angles and misses most of them

 

[Rattie]

Trust me, you are missing nothing.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Insane rally from DiMinaur

 

[ibbi]

Good call.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Oh noes

 

[Pmasterfunk]

There's 2 more hours of this crap, isn't there

 

[Legend of Borg]

It's a 5th set.

Great...

 

[Zara]

Great match but ultimately I would like Felix to win.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

It looks like we going to go 5. Sinner must be laughing knowing either of these are his semis final opponent.

 

[roysid]

FAA needs to put this match away now. No 5 set shenanigans.

Looks like he heard you. 1-4 down to prove you wrong
