No one likes him. Everyone here hates him. And yet, tonight--he grew up. The big stage, the big show, prime time television...we all thought three and out for DY. Yet, he grew up. Down two sets to one and down a break in the fourth--DY hung tough and got the break. And, then another forcing the match to five...
I met DY last year in Louisville and was able to talk with him at length about everything related to tennis--including what is under his PJ. I grew quite fond of the kid and his personality and the kid that he his. Being a father, I instantly hoped for greatness for this kid and for all the haters of DY on this board to finally silence to some degree.
His speed rivals Blake's. His ability to hit inside out from either wing rivals anyone on tour. His touch at the net was evident tonight as just purely amazing.
No, no one on here will give DY credit where credit is due even after tonight.
He grew up tonight. He embraced the lime-light, the NY crowd, the lights, the media market, the battle against a contending top player on tour and a court that was surely in favor of his opponent.
But in the fourth set--he won over Blake's fans and put them into his corner for good.
Regardless of winning or losing--tonight, Donald Young grew up big time....
