What is the TV/news coverage over there around Ruud? I suppose that no one in America has anything to say about Taylor Fritz, but things may be different in Norway :)

People are slowly noticing him. But he is way below Braut Haaland the soccer player and Karsten "I just felt like running" Warholm.

Norway is not a tennis nation at all, so very few understand and appreciate his efforts.

To be fair those guys are worthy of all of their acclaim. What I would give to have a Haaland-level young talent equivalent in tennis. The guy has chance to make a joke of Champions League record books if he manages to stay healthy. Warholm might be more a statistical outlier than Haaland even as well..

If he wasn't crumbling under pressure that much Zverev would have won the US Open. Even his normal level is scary. Would not be surprised to see him winning Paris and London

Couple of loose points in that 5–5 game that he will regret.

Then again, someone has to blink first eventually, and it ended up being the greener of the two.

If Zverev was a fighter like Hewitt, he could been the ATG dominator of the last two seasons at least. Could've been in contention in 2018-19 too. 4-6 slams, 2-3 YEC, 8-10 masters and of course the Olympic Gold ha.

I think he will win this time UsOpen 2022. The reason he screwed up in UsOpen 2021 was CYGS PRESSURE.
It wasn't fatigue. Right now, outside of clay vs Nadal, Novak is UNBEATABLE in a best of 5.
Seriously, I don't see guys like Titsp/Zed etc winning a slam.
Fair enough. Although he had enough close matches this year in best of 5 that I don't believe he is unbeatable.

Meh, it's like Medvedev going for 2nd serve aces on BP. Of course he DFs more often than not; you're no PETE or even Ivanisevic to succeed in this. And this won't change, that's why it's daft. Not confusing it with a rare day when he feels really confident and hits big 2nd serves all the time, like the first set in the USO final; but if you had hit normal 2nd serves before and suddenly go for a big one under pressure, chances are you'll miss.
