Cilic underwhelmed by Schwartzman!

[JMR]

Diego Schwartzman thumped No. 5 seed Marin Cilic in R3, 4-6 7-5 7-5 6-4. Goodbye former champ. At least Cilic moderated his disgrace by losing to a seeded player (No. 29). The remaining collection of heretofore unsuccessful "strivers" (to put it diplomatically) in that half of the draw is now truly stunning.

Schwartzman vs. Cilic reminds me a bit of the classic "Mark E. Smith glimpses a goblin" lyrics from the song "City Hobgoblins" by The Fall: "Infest my home at night / They are not all right / Ten times my age / One-tenth my height!"

Losing by ten points, let that be a lesson

Nadal's tournament now.

What a joke this is turning into-defending champ Stan, number one Murray, Novak, Nishikori & Raonic all pulled out & Cilic, Tonga, Berdych, Dimitrov, Zverev, Kyrigos & Sock all took a bath before the fourth round. Fed struggling to win his first two matches in five sets.

This year's US Open is definitely one of the most bizarro one. Must be tough playing the Sudden Death League.

Never underestimate the shorties

Never underestimate the shorties

One of Cilic's feet is half the size of Schwartzman!

Last time I checked, His feet were just a tad bigger

Poor Cilic. After the 17 W mental meltdown, he is not the same as before.

 

[JJGUY]

well I only watched a couple of games this morning, from what I saw, the short guy was unbelievably fast on court and played really aggressively, Cilic looks like a "giant" there but mentally he was intimidated by his short opponent, he was never in his comfort zone.

Small guy beating up on big guy... Awsome...........

David and Goliath....a matchup as old as time!

 

[Harry_Wild]

My man Diego, giant killer of the big guys of ATP tour! John McEnroe would be speechless if he doing commentary on the end of this match!

 

[NLBwell]

Diego's been playing very big the last few months. Pretty shocked to see this because I picked Cilic to win the tournament, but I did expect Schwartzman to play well.
