Well, my eyes haven't bee fooling me, when watching Anderson's earlier matches this USO!
What a fantastic victory, fully deserved.
Cool guy. CONGRATS to The Kevinator!!!
My commisserations to the Muzziah fans...
Another thread is coming up about Kevin Muggerson.How would you feel if Fed makes the final again , at 34 years ?
he did everything but choke in that TB. What a level he just found there! The 3-0 return was pure Djoko copycat.Is he played that well? I mean just hitting winners left, right.…?
3-0 Anderson! please don't choke now.
Well done Mr. Anderson![]()
Clutch play by anderson there. Now That puts Novak's Wimbledon win into perspective.
Anderson can be a tough tough customer. I doubt anyone other than Fed can defeat him comfortably.
Fed has the knack to handling big servers with ease. Novak and Murray should learn a thing or two from him.
Well, the H2H actually indicates that this could've been a tough match for Murray, because Kevin won their only match on this particular surface, although in Canada 4 years ago.Yup, he was just as impressive against Thiem. After seeing that match I knew Murray could be in trouble regardless of their previous encounters.
People here are often too focused on names and H2H while not taking player form into account.
Exactly!Yup, he was just as impressive against Thiem. After seeing that match I knew Murray could be in trouble regardless of their previous encounters.
And isn't THAT the truth. How I'd wish for certain folks to *shut up* and finally actually start WATCHING TENNIS when it happens as it does!People here are often too focused on names and H2H while not taking player form into account.
Exactly - he's got the most well rounded game of the 'big boys'. If he can play like this on anything like a consistent basis and be more mentally clutch more often, he could easily be a top-10 player.The other thing I like about this besides just the fact Anderson is in the QF's is that his brand of tennis is awesome. He's a tall guy with the big serve but he's also moving well and hitting the ball so well. Plus, he's showing he has the consistency and stamina to actually hang around in the rallies too. He's the whole package right now, which is why he's in the QF's and quite possibly beyond.
Don't think that's entirely fair to Murray, he tried to be a bit more aggressive in the 4th set, hit some DTL BHs and went to the net, tried to move Anderson around more etc. Problem is, Kevin just stepped it up big time in the tiebreak, crushed Murray's 2nd serve and even won that long rally.
I thought I was already being a keyboard warrior here.Go be a keyboard warrior somewhere.
True. But you are a coward for wanting your favourite player to go through only easier opponents.You're no braveheart for wanting your favorite player to go through tougher opponents.
5-0 in matches and 10-0 in the last 10 sets say the challenge for Fed wasn't primarily Murray. I'm more concerned about Stan (and as concerned about Berdych and possibly Isner tbh).Just got a whole lot easier for Fed. Crap!!!
I was watching on mute. What exactly did Gilbert ask to embarrass Anderson ?Brad Gilbert must live to embarrass the players and himself.
I'm happy that Anderson won. Just saying that it's too bad for Murray (from his perspective) since he seemed to be doing better and better and getting back to his slam-winning level. At least that's the impression I got when he beat Djokovic in the cincy finalCome to think of it, it is better for Murray to not lose to Fed yet again. It was getting a bit too much. (Assuming Fed makes the SF)
In comparison to those two Federer would be able to handle Anderson fairly well because Federer actually attacks right from the word GO. Djokovic and Murray are content to rally all day until they realize they're in deep **** and actually have to put something on their shots.
90's Clay in ruins. Imagine his reaction if Anderson wins his next match!
And you are stupid for wanting your favorite player to go through tougher opponents.True. But you are a coward for wanting your favourite player to go through only easier opponents.

Told him he was heartless because he showed no emotion, coaxed him into an awkward post match fist pump, and tried to get him to rip his shirt off WWE style...much to the disappointment of many ttw members, Anderson didn't go for it.I was watching on mute.

Montreal final, but yes.I'm happy that Anderson won. Just saying that it's too bad for Murray (from his perspective) since he seemed to be doing better and better and getting back to his slam-winning level. At least that's the impression I got when he beat Djokovic in the cincy final
I give him a 25% chance of getting to 18. Good thing is, I give Nadal a 0.1% chance of getting to 17Relax. Federer is never going to win that 18th slam. The sooner you accept that the better.![]()

Something like this:do I wanna know what Gilbert is saying?
I'm satisfied with Rafa being at 14. With the way he's playing, he deserves to stay at 14. No one playing as poorly as he is deserves a grand slam or even a title. Plus, I've still got Nole to root for.I give him a 25% chance of getting to 18. Good thing is, I give Nadal a 0.1% chance of getting to 17![]()
What a complete and utter failure, that Gilbert fellow.Told him he was heartless because he showed no emotion, coaxed him into an awkward post match fist pump, and tried to get him to rip his shirt off WWE style...much to the disappointment of many ttw members, Anderson didn't go for it.
Relax. Listen, Federer is never going to win that 18th slam regardless of how easy or difficult of a draw he gets in grand slams. The sooner you accept that the better.![]()
That does not bother me in the slightest. Like I told The_18th_Slam:Federer is still a million times more likely to win an 18th Slam than Djokovic PFFFFFFFFF
I don't care if neither Nole nor Rafa make it to 17. I already accept that Roger is the GOAT. I've been of that view since 2010 - when Rafa was completing the career slam and looked like he could catch Roger. So....![]()
Really wish Anderson would've punched BG in the mouth. Perfect way to celebrate his win.
Reminiscent of Jim Evert punching Rome in the mouth... would havd been great!Would have been pretty hilarious. Might've got him in a spot of bother though.
Even I know Horus is the girl. SORREEEYou think Zeus, Odin, Thor, Horus and Isis are tennis gods?![]()
You think Horus is the girl? lol Why do folks like you love to do this to yourselves? Why do you love to embarrass yourselves, huh?Even I know Horus is the girl. SORREEE
They're made from the same mold. No wonder Murray is Kyrgios' mentor.
That's what he gets for not trying in the beginning.
Don't mind him. He's just mad because Wawrinka will most likely beat Anderson in straight sets and be fresh for Federer in the SF. Coward that he is, tennis_pro really does not want a fresh Wawrinka facing Federer in a grand slam (remember the outcome the last time that happened?) Tennis_pro was hoping Murray would win and then either beat Wawa and be too tired to beat or even challenge Federer himself, or lose but tire out Wawrinka enough for Federer to get the win in a relatively comfortable fashion. So, you see, he's not really mad at the Muzz. He's just a ruthless, cowardly opportunist.Yawn, yawn, yawn, whatever floats your boat. Now off to bed with you before your head explodes trying to come up with an insult to Murray that actually hits home!![]()
