US Open 2017 quarterfinal: Rafael 'the' Nadal vs. Andrey 'Money' Rublev

[Sysyphus]

YALLAAAAAAA!!

This is the showdown I dream of at night. Something something salsa ~!~

Will the Russian Roublette pick up where his grand uncle and compatriot Youzhny left it 11 years ago at the same stage, and fulfill his destiny?

In for poll

Don't disappoint me Sysy

 

[forzamilan90]

I feel like "The" will defeat "Money," though I would love it if the opposite happens

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Nadal in straight sets! Rublev likely bring a crappy gameplan

 

[JohnnyMac Fan!]

OK, I will make another thread with the poll if is not added in

 

[forzamilan90]

Commentators just said if Rublev plays like he did today he will get absolutely destroyed against The Nadal. How truly good is this Rublev kid? Dolgo absolutely paid an eggs today and handed an easy win to The Nadal, so it's not like Nadal is GOATing currently

 

[NoleFam]

I know some of us think Nadal will make the SF but are we overlooking this kid? He definitely is hitting a heavy ball. Should Nadal be worried?

 

[Sysyphus]

OK, I will make another thread with the poll if is not added in

chill bro, added the poll already.

 

[JohnnyMac Fan!]

Very cool, my thread was almost ready. Thanks for adding the poll

They were watching something else obviously. Guy was smacking it. Accurately, too

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

I expect a match with a lot of hard hitting winners

 

[JohnnyMac Fan!]

I will go with Rafa in this, even though Rublev could certainly destroy Rafa at the moment. I want to see if Nadal can raise his level.

Nice guy Greg.

 

[Newcomer]

If Nadal wants to have any chance he needs to avoid Rublev's forehand AT ALL COST. Right now Rublev looks the better player. He had the harder draw and yet lost less sets. Nadal raised his level against Dolgopolov though.

 

[Slightly D1]

Doesn't seem like Rublev has the type of game to take 3 sets off of Rafa. It'll be a long close match but Rafa in 4. If I had to predict- 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 Nadal.

I'm right

Rublev and Rublyov are both transliterations of his name into the latin alphabet. His 'real' way of writing it is in Cyrillic.

 

[Deleted member 716271]

Rublev is stealing the president's rubies atm

Nadal in 4, makes it interesting for the fans

 

[mistik]

Great chance for Rafa to avoid ******* semi final match.

 

[zagor]

Nadal in 3 or 4. Rublev has a pedestrian serve and will likely overhit off the FH side when Nadal starts getting everything back.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

I'm right.

Rublev and Rublyov are both transliterations of his name into the latin alphabet. His 'real' way of writing it is in Cyrillic.

But how is the name said? Thats whats counts.
Rublev and Rublyov are two different names. Is that his name is sort of translated like we do with countries and cities? Like Milano, Torino, Kjøbenhavn, Italia etc?

 

[jaggy]

Connors in 5

 

[Krish872007]

Hopefully Rafa in 3 or 4, not seen any of his or Rublev's matches so not sure what to think though.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Gotta go with Beatifuldal in 3, maybe 4.
