US Open 2024 Semifinals Matchup - [1] Jannik Sinner (ITA) v/s [25] Jack Alexander Draper (Great Britain)

[nolefam_2024]

Finish him jannik

 

[SneederFeeder]

The match is great but the reason a lot of people have grumbled a bit (including me) is that the health shenanigans both have shown are more proper of either an early match (where things are so far off that who cares) or the final (where there is nothing after it)

Not a Semi where the winner of the other could vulture a whole title if the 2 get too injured

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Well read by sinner! Incredible!

 

[NaDjoFed]

It s over

 

[jeroenn]

Sugar?

Use any kind of athletic sugar, but not a soda... it will come back on him

 

[Aabye5]

Jack has lost the break...and the legs.

 

[SneederFeeder]

Lessssgoooooooo

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Draper's getting physically extended so much, I fear he may turn into a vampire.....break from Sinner should just about finish this macabre affair.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner’s FH is immense!

 

[jss]

Draper's not moving anymore

 

[jayvee]

Pretty pathetic from Draper now... this is a Slam semifinal FFS!

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

My bad then. I don’t get the “current tennis is crap and Roddick would win 15 slams against these mugs”. I interpret that as not liking today’s players.

No, my point was simple. This is the first generation that has not raised the level of play from the preceding generation. And IMO, they have actually taken a small step back.

 

[Bilders]

Remember young Djokovic?

Another Slam completed for the master!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner getting even stronger now.

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

Pretty pathetic from Draper now... this is a Slam semifinal FFS!

To be fair, he's one step from having to be carted out on a stretcher with an IV in him.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Brilliant from Sinner! What a player!

 

[SneederFeeder]

Pretty pathetic from Draper now... this is a Slam semifinal FFS!

He has pretty much vomited his entire GI Tract on the court, give him a break

 

[jayvee]

Looks like a junior playing his first Slam. Pathetic.

 

[GRASScaraz]

Rune is still better than Draper

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Sinner is gonna be bored in about 2-3 years suffering from Federeritis. He’s gonna own the tour easy and won’t have a bad matchup like Nadal was to Federer

 

[jimmy0slams]

Tennis is dead, wake me up in 20 years ...

 

[jimmy0slams]

Sinner is gonna be bored in about 2-3 years suffering from Federeritis. He’s gonna own the tour easy

The good news is Alcaraz will say .... "Not on my watch"

There.
I blocked you, so I'm relieved from your moronic comments.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tennis is dead, wake me up in 20 years ...

Sinner will own the tour son. Enjoy!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

The good news is Alcaraz will say .... "Not on my watch"

We will see. Sinner is better on HC than raz

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

The good news is Alcaraz will say .... "Not on my watch"

Will he? I don’t know. He’s not really a bad matchup for sinner.

one thing we do know is that there‘s not way to compare level of play between players across time, unless you compare across decades and tech change. Roddick himself completely disagrees with you.

I prefer the @TMF rule, there’s no way to compare levels all we can compare are results

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I feel bad for the Americans having to play this well oiled machine in the final.

 

[SneederFeeder]

Is this the best match of the tournament?

Yeah it's a 3 setter but so much was packed into these 3 sets

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

And to all the haters, still time to go buy yourself some antacids! Your butthurt is music to our ears...

And maybe grab some listerine while you're at it, just to rinse out your mouth... This is the WORLD NUMBER ONE you're talking about, not some cousin of yours who plays pickleball on the weekends.

PS congrats to Jack on a fantastic run and a valiant effort tonight.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I like how she says Sinner. It sounds sexy.

And that's a wrap. The main man through in straights.

 

[SneederFeeder]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOO FINALLLLLLLLLLL

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

NID

 

[ibbi]

Jack going to go back and get put on an IV Drip.

 

[Carax]

Non-vomiting Draper still undefeated this tournament.

3 slams for Djokovic in 2023 is a pretty good indication the current players are a rung below.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Great fight from Draper in the first two sets, not shabby at all for a first slam SF.
I haven't read this thread but I assume everyone is complaining about something, as per usual.

 

[jss]

Hats off to Mr. Draper.
I think we'll hear more of him.

 

[duaneeo]

Tennis is dead, wake me up in 20 years ...

The 2024 slam holders are 21 and 23. Men's tennis has returned from the dead.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner rolls on! What a player! Draper did his best and struggled physically.

Sinner looks a millions dollars though.

 

[Mark-Touch]

I feel bad for the Americans having to play pay this well oiled machine in the final.

FTFY

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Sheriff to Jack Draper.

Maybe find a change of underwear, son.

I agree. Tennis is in good hands with raz and sinner

 

[Aabye5]

Straight sets for Sinner.

 

[ppma]

Very wrong tennistic approach by Jack. Hope he'll do better next time.

 

[ibbi]

It is truly hilarious how completely differently the two of them handled those conditions. Where is Jez Green these days? Jack Draper desperately needs his help.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

The carrots are there

 

[Gooner89]

Sheriff to Jack Draper.

Maybe find a change of underwear, son.

@Martin J

And that coming from a Man United fan. The ultimate banter club.

 

[GRASScaraz]

Sinner's body was just as unreliable as Drapers until substances started entering his body.... only difference between them today.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

next year is gonna be a scary dominant year for sinner. Up there with Fed 06 and djoker 15
