TTW, who would you like to hold the title of "The man who stopped Djokovic getting a CYGS"

[Sephiroth]

There is going to be history and fame on both ends, Djokovic wins the CYGS OR the guy who stopped Djokovic getting the CYGS. If Djokovic is to go down at the USO, which player deserves this accolade?

One of the Next Gens? Lost Gen? Kyrgios? an UNKNOWN?

 

[TripleATeam]

I'd like it to be the next ATG, who then goes on to sweep the next few slams.

 

[Red Rick]

Nobody

 

[Madinolf]

I hope it's not to Karen like last year at least.

 

[canta_Brian]

Covid would be a chuckle

 

[Third Serve]

I hope it's not to Karen like last year at least.

what about a different Karen?

 

[Sephiroth]

Nishikori would be hilarious

 

[Sephiroth]

I hope it's not to Karen like last year at least.

There's no lines people this time around for Djokovic to send a missile to

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Mark Selby

 

[accidental]

PCB

 

[Backspin1183]

PCB

 

[accidental]

I think Djokovic might actually lose his mind if he finds himself in another tough match with PCB

 

[daggerman]

ABZ

 

[Cortana]

They guy who wins the tournament and 1-3 slams next year.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Busta

 

[mehdimike]

Mark Selby

Seriously, who currently plays Selby-esque on the tour?! Djokovic himself?!

 

[Novichok]

Nick Kyrgios.

 

[mehdimike]

Pablo I choose.

 

[aldeayeah]

Matteo, to forever solidify the turn of phrase "Berrettini Open"

 

[Rosstour]

PCB or Kyrgios

 

[Sephiroth]

Matteo, to forever solidify the turn of phrase "Berrettini Open"

That'd be fitting

Djokovic won the Djokovic Open this year, Berrettini wins the Berrettini Open

 

[ibbi]

I don't know, but both times this scenario happened previously, in 33 and 56, the guys who did the feat (Perry and Rosewall) went on to DOMINATE in the years ahead, so if it happens then history teaches us we should expect to see more of the dude.

 

[MeatTornado]

BY GAWD THAT'S MURRAY'S MUSIC

 

[Sephiroth]

Imagine the bragging rights from Kyrgios if he does it in some R1 or R2 match LOL

oh my daysssssssssssssssss

 

[yokied]

Think of the Paypal top-up here. Angry cashed-up Mirka, who has been unable to stop Rafa or Novak getting to 20, plus a huge boost from the angry, loaded Nadals.

PCB could be catapulted to the highest earner in the history of tennis in one match, and it's probably not even going to be a final either.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I don't really want anybody to beat him.

 

[The Fedfather]

Apart from Djokovix, I think in the USO field Zverev has the most impressive game when he's not having mental lapses. I see the best potential match between him and Novak.

 

[Backspin1183]

I think Djokovic might actually lose his mind if he finds himself in another tough match with PCB

We'd probably see a repeat of this if he finds himself in a tough match with PCB again.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Seriously, who currently plays Selby-esque on the tour?! Djokovic himself?!

I don't want it to sound like an insult. Selby is great is the best in the game all round. The only time I don't really enjoy it is when he beats up Ronnie.

 

[mehdimike]

I don't want it to sound like an insult. Selby is great is the best in the game all round. The only time I don't really enjoy it is when he beats up Ronnie.

He could play a more attacking style of the game. But seriously if I had his safety game I wouldn't risk too much either

 

[Aabye5]

Hurkacz

 

[RelentlessAttack]

PCB or Kyrgios

He won’t lose, but if he did definitely one these two would be the highest entertainment value lmao

 

[zipplock]

[SteffiGoat]

I hope it is a Zverev-Djokovic final.

I'll be happy with either winning.

 

[Fabresque]

There's this thing in poker called "too many outs syndrome", where you're behind in a poker hand but have so many cards left that will help you win the hand. It seems easier to win a poker hand with 4-5 outs rather than 12.

I feel like it's gonna be this for Djoker at the US Open. No Nadal. No Federer. Fields pretty depleted, no lines judges to incapacitate. Too many things going right for him that something's bound to happen.

 

[MeatTornado]

Imagine the bragging rights from Kyrgios if he does it in some R1 or R2 match LOL

oh my daysssssssssssssssss

3-0, bud.

 

[SonnyT]

The guy who wins the tournament, and will have at least 10 career slams.

 

[Krish0608]

ABZ.

PCB would be hilarious.

 

[Sephiroth]

3-0, bud.

"can't be GOAT, hasn't beaten me"

Kyrgios has a chance to put the GOAT discussion to bed

 

[10S-Junkie]

As a Canadian Novak fan, I'll pick Shapo or FAA if he were to lose to anybody

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

Zverev, just to trigger the soyboy male feminists.

 

[stringertom]

It won’t be The Nagal…he lost 1R qualies today.

Be kind to @sureshs . He’s taking this loss rather hard.

 

[Musterrific]

Dustin Brown.

 

[ollinger]

Gulbis

 

[duaneeo]

I need to first find out who's Nole's first-round opponent before answering the OP's question.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Mark Selby

Thomas Shelby.

 

[sureshs]

It won’t be The Nagal…he lost 1R qualies today.

You need to improve his stamina, Coachreshs. Another 15 minutes per day at the AYCE gulab jamun bar should do it.
