An underrated match from last decade :- don't miss it

[LoveTheGreatOne]

Finally USTA YouTube Channel has uploaded it.

Karen khachanov playing the match of his life, hitting the cover off the ball, otoh nadal is unwilling to give it up.
The combo results in a furious battle, each game is energy zapping and full of lungbusting rallies, its a shame we didn't get a fifth set.

*back when khachanov really looked promising and his FH looked to be one of the most lethal weapons on tour.

The match where Khachanov refused to take his chances?

Watched this match live. Khachanov was such a good future prospect! After the USO he went on to beat Novak en route to his Bercy 1000 title. Look at where he is now, sad.

Got married wayyy too early, a problem shockingly common to a lot of Next Genners

Yeah kind of.
Nadal vs khachanov is always a story of furious battle throughout a set, followed by an error filled TB from the Russian to give it away to nadal.

He was around 21 that time, got married that year itself I believe. That's too young of an age to take on family responsibility. Kuch to impact karta hoga on their tennis

Idk man but his forehand has become a real meme after 2018.
Really sad

Yes, that was very good.

Disgusting match, disgusting choke, disgusting celebration, an altogether disgusting experience.

Hell no

Is Thiem vs Nadal US Open 2018 a underrated match or no?

 

[LoveTheGreatOne]

Yes, that was very good.

Nadal vs a zoning big hitter is always fun to watch, I agree bro.

double fault, double fault and double fault
absolute peak

Is Thiem vs Nadal US Open 2018 a underrated match or no?

In my opinion, yeah it is.
We don't often see commentators or common tennis fans talking about that match as much.
That was probably the best match at USO since 2013 novak vs Wawrinka.

Indeed a battling performance from nadal against an opponent who was redlining.
Thanks for sharing gentleman, I didn't know this gem existed on YT.
Stay blessed, Good night.

Of Nadal victories.*

I can't exactly remember the match thread, but it sounds like a match where allegiances changed dramatically throughout the entire 4.5 hours played. Extremely two faced towards Karen, hell, I probably called him a mug at some point lol... Yes there was the double fault meltdown whilst serving for the 2nd set and in the 3rd set TB, but everything else was just so damn good. Definitely one of my fav four set matches ever.

A lot of us were thinking Karen had come a long way and were interested in seeing where he goes from there, of course he won Paris beating four top ten opponents, but not much worth mentioning afterwards. 2019 was truly disappointing to witness, IIRC, my vote for most disappointing player that year. He never seems to have an easy match these days, every time I watch him it's a slug fest.

Is 99% also the amount you were sure Nadal was going to lose before this match?

I dunno man, I haven't watched him in a very long time and he is no longer on my top 10 favorite players list. But back to answering your question I think he has been playing challengers recently

 

[I get cramps]

Sorry.

I misread the thread's title.

An outlier level from Karen, as it proved to be.Back then I thought he'll be a real treat to the BiG 3
