At what point does the argument that Stefanos Tsitsipas is taking someone else's place in draws come up?

Do bring an extra pair of shoes when playing the U.S. Open.

To be fair Andy is playing top tennis. Very aggressive. He's not known to serve that big and hit that aggressively. Everything is going his way.

Tsitsipas is not playing bad at all. He probably needs to keep his service game tidy. Some errors on break points from Tsitsi but it is mostly Andy coming up with the goods on break points.

I've not seen Andy play this good in a long time. Even at his peak, he was never this aggressive.

If Andy beats Tsitsi, I'd put my money on him to win the USO provided he can get an extra pair of shoes! :)

It's a tough first round for him. You generally build up in the first week. Let's see if he can come back.

Now it seems Murray and City are both hurting a bit. This could get grueling.

Can anybody think of a match where it became obvious that both players were suffering from injury? and it just became a war of attrition?

US Open Final 2011 was pretty great. Neither player had a serve whatsoever.

He’s a streaky player and one that can go deep after playing so poor against Murray.
The problem for Tsitsipas is when he is on and comfortable with his game his level is high but the difference between his best and worst is too big too be consistently going deep

Bionic TTW posters already flexing their big guns (and even bigger brains) on Day 1 of the USO.

Keep them genius threads going. Don't let down the side.

Nominated for stupidest thread of the fortnight.

Yet almost beat a cheating Tsits. So it is just as worthy as the Murray thread asking the same question.

NatF, Murray still lost, point stands, put in a younger player or a newcomer and he could have well beaten Tsitsipas.

This match still counts as ANOTHER loss in the early rounds of a tournament for Murray.

I admit not liking either of these crybabies, but I also admit -- in a dark, twisted way -- enjoying Tsitsipiss doing his mindfuck business with the players I don't like. Hats off to Andy for looking capable of putting up a fight, but yeah, he's a crybaby and forever will be. Also, "I've lost all respect for you?"

LOL

Andy, you've lost. Control. Again, again, and again. And then the match. And then control, again and again.
