Poll: Most dangerous floater men's 2022 USO?

[James P]

Who do you think is the most dangerous floater at the US Open?

 

[MARK ANDERS]

Opelka's bowel movement.

 

[PerilousPear]

None of the above players are able to float.

 

[aldeayeah]

None of the above players are able to float.

 

[BOB1234567890]

I could see some of these floaters causing upsets, those who have the level to fight the tough matches and come though don't have to much experience at GS level, and those that do are not yet fully fit or at a level of being able to go deep.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

None of the above players are able to float.

Time to watch them all sink like the Titanic, while ZimmerFramedal gets aimlessly beached into the trophy. Good times.

Surprised that you left out Coric.

 

[accidental]

Draper looking good. Will win US open

 

[junior74]

Funky Cold Fokina, always

 

[James P]

Surprised that you left out Coric.

A seeded player is not a "floater"

 

[BGod]

Draper has shown flashes. Him out of the options.

Someone not listed here - Coric

[timnz]

Sorry forgot that someone in the high 20's is seeded. (Old school from the time we only had 16 seeds).

 

[Fiero425]

Draper has shown flashes. Him out of the options.

Might be a harbinger of '85 Redux! Becker had just won Queens and BJK gave her expected, "this guy's the one to watch! I wouldn't be surprised if he won Wimbledon!"

 

[MeatTornado]

Goffin seriously made the list?

 

[BeatlesFan]

Oh come on. Here are the lower seeds, none of whom have one chance in a million to hoist the trophy. These guys aren't floaters, they're way lower than that:

• Botic van de Zandschulp
• 23. Frances Tiafoe
• 24. Francisco Cerundolo
• 26. Borna Coric
• 27. Lorenzo Musetti
• 28. Karen Khachanov
• 29. Holger Rune
• 30. Tommy Paul
• 31. Maxime Cressy
• 32. Nikoloz Basilashvili

Seeded doesn't mean "dangerous" silly. It just means that they are tied down to a certain position on the tournament map (ie seeded, not a floater).

You think Coric is a million to 1 shot with his draw? Even Khachanov ain't a million to 1.

 

[Deleted member 793944]

Who do you think is the most dangerous floater at the US Open?

Cressy

 

[optic yellow]

How back has Thiem looked recently?

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Fucsovics

 

[d-quik]

How back has Thiem looked recently?

What?

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Hell all of them probably. LOL Djoker isn't playing. Sinner/Alcaraz aren't showing consistency, and will Nadal stay healthy? A 200-300 ranked bum could win the US Open this year realistically. No one trusts this top 10-20 outside of Nadal/Djokovic

 

[optic yellow]

What?

I thought he was injured for a while after winning USO 2020 so was asking how much form he'd regained.

 

[d-quik]

I thought that was his wrist not his back though

I mean back as in "returned" not the region of the body.

 

[d-quik]

Yes, the wrist injury would be bad for the BACKhand RETURN lol jk

 

[optic yellow]

Yes, the wrist injury would be bad for the BACKhand RETURN lol jk

 

[Sudacafan]

Floaters?
Srsh’s.
I’ll sue anybody who does not agree to the obvious.

 

[d-quik]

I'm sorry!!!

 

[Fabresque]

Karatsev? Come on, he’s been completely AWOL since January. Disappeared off the map, he’s losing to everyone in R1 or R2. I wouldn’t even have him in the considerations.

That said, my vote is either Shelton or Thiem. I’ll go Thiem because he’s won the thing before.

EDIT: Yeah I know Murray’s won here too, back in the stone ages. Thiem’s title was literally 2 years ago, not 10.

Whatever floats your Goat!

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Who do you think is the most dangerous floater at the US Open?

Borna coric

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Either Denis Shapovalov or Andrey Rublev...

 

[am1899]

Isner, Cressy.
