Donald Young to tear up the field next year.

George Turner

Hall of Fame
At age 10 McEnroe hit with him and rated him so highly he immediately told IMG to sign him up. McEnroe himself always said Young has hands as good as his own.

I believe Young is now ready to fulfill that promise. When he encounters Nadal at the French i predict he'll win 6-2 6-3 6-1.

Form is temporary, Class shines through in the end. 2018 is the year of the Doninator.

I think Donald Young is not so young anymore. I like to think there is a one-hit wonder incubated in him somewhere though, would be fun to watch him win something

Appreciate the power, the footwork, the ruthlessness, the determination and the sheer class of the Doninator.
LMAO so bad it's painful. 4 double faults in 5 serve points and he still wins the TB thanks to 6 unforced errors by Kozlov. This is below club level stuff.

Also, is anyone a lip reader? At 9:25 in the video the dominator appears to say, and I quote... "F*** that B****, F*** that MOTHERF*****!" Words spoken like a true legend!!
 
This will be bumped when Donald wins the AO next year. :p

AO may be a bit too soon for him, can see A. Zverev edging him out in the final.

The French Open is a different matter, Nadal will be having nightmares. Wouldn't be surprised if he decides to stay in bed on the day he's due to face the Doninator.

If this winds up coming true, this thread goes into top 10 all-time status imo. It won't dislodge the sureshs shrine created by @stringertom or any of the Murray or Wozniacki "....destroyed once more" threads but everything else is fair game.

..I have seen it all..Time to leave planet earth..:eek:o_O

:)

this year had seen some lunatic level predictions come true, who knows

Agree. One of the weirdest stats for me is Venus holding more GS match wins than any other WTA player and still didn't actually win one and all this at 37 yo :o

DY didn't become an American GOAT? You cannot be serious!!

:o

It would have to be #1 of all time. Predicting Donald Young to beat Nadal in an FO final 8 months before the final happens would be one of the greatest tennis predictions ever!
 
Haha. I am hoping this is a joke. Saw DY play live at Miami this year. He literally looked like a recreational player somehow accidentally shoved into a pro tournament. Just doesn’t have anywhere close to the game to compete. Everyone plays out of their shoes every once in a while, but on a consistent basis this guy is long done.

I cannot take credit for the SexiSuri Tribute Thread, a shrine created by @vanioMan . I may have embellished his gem a time or two but it isn't my brainchild.
 
Frances Tiafoe is going to be what so many people were hoping Donald Young would be.

I want to see DY do well because he’s a fellow Hyper-G user but his ceiling is top 20 I think, and that’s probably being generous.

You're absolutely right. I've seen Donald play live twice and he's just not anywhere near a top level. Ryan Harrison is about 100 times better and we all know his meager results on tour. Donald also acts very childish, almost petulant on court.
 
Thanks for posting that horrific tiebreak. That gave me a much-needed laugh. There are an uncomfortable number of similarities between my game and Young's.

I was literally thinking the same thing about my game, that forehand at 5:27 is so me! :eek:

I feel proud to share greatness with the Doninator :cool:

I'm a fan but where the evidence?
