US Open 2024 Semifinals matchup - [12] Taylor Harry Fritz (USA) v/s [20] Frances Tiafoe Jr. (USA)

[beltsman]

You can throw racquets and not get a violation?

 

[Aabye5]

But you're down TWO breaks, silly

 

[Racquet_smash]

Of course Fritz gifts the break away.

 

[RSJfan]

Fritz at 4-0

 

[beltsman]

Tiafoe’s level has dropped, but Fritz deserves credit.

He is playing lights out at the moment, and he is defending the court way better than I expected him to. I thought he would lose his legs.

Now Fritz is tight

 

[Subway Tennis]

Momentum shift #862 in this match

Phenomenal scenes.

 

[BenC]

urgh, would I even bother watching Sinner beating Fritz to a pulp? I guess I can just take my dogs to the park on Sunday

 

[Aabye5]

Now Fritz is tight

That's why he bought insurance.

 

[jayvee]

You can throw racquets and not get a violation?

I see you follow tennis closely. Usually you get a warning at 2nd offense.

 

[Larry Duff]

Mugs.

 

[roysid]

Who would dare to give that to Tiafoe at Ashe stadium

 

[bullfan]

What are the odds Tiafoe wins?

 

[Subway Tennis]

Now Fritz is tight

Goodness me he has been impressive though. I thought he wouldn’t have legs in the fifth set, but he is boosting the ball and defending well.

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

You can throw racquets and not get a violation?

Yes, unless you break it or hit someone with it.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Any basis for this prediction?

The gods want to mark this era.

That or Sinner is their chosen savior.

 

[nolefam_2024]

What are the odds Tiafoe wins?

Zero

Fritz got this now

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

Who would dare to give that to Tiafoe at Ashe stadium

I think it is because he didn't smash it.

 

[beltsman]

Yes, unless you break it or hit someone with it.

I see. They should change that.

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

I see. They should change that.

You also can't really wing it across the court. But just throwing it down in front of you without breaking it, not a big deal.

 

[Racquet_smash]

Horrible 5th set so far

 

[Aabye5]

It's deja vu all over again.

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

Horrible 5th set so far

Tiafoe has nothing left.

 

[Thundergod]

Man, Tiafoe's FH really does look so ugly.

 

[RSJfan]

Sunday shaping up to be as thrilling as Vamos-Kandy.

 

[MeatTornado]

Pretty poor effort down the stretch for Tiafoe in "his house"

 

[bullfan]

You can throw racquets and not get a violation?

????

 

[NoleFam]

Tiafoe hit a wall in this set. This is pretty much over and Fritz will make his 1st Slam final.

 

[RSJfan]

Credit to Fritz for crushing Foe in the 5th. Solid clown cred.

 

[I get cramps]

If you are born between 1990 and 1999, you are bound to be a mental midget.

Seems the rule.

Magnus Carlsen was born in 1990, bore. Since you have such an acute intellect, you will know that exceptio probat regulam.

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

Horrible 5th set so far

Tennis wise, yes. Drama wise, no. US Commentators getting depressed, definitely.

 

[jayvee]

Pretty poor effort down the stretch for Tiafoe in "his house"

Just ran out of gas. Needs an Italian physio and pharmacist.

 

[Racquet_smash]

Magnus Carlsen was born in 1990, bore. Since you have such an acute intellect, you will know that exceptio probat regulam.

I was talking about tennis players to be fair.

 

[RSJfan]

9 years from junior champion to the men’s final.

 

[Larry Duff]

Good for him.

 

[NoleFam]

Anti-climactic 5th set but kudos to Fritz for putting his foot to the metal after that 4th set gift. I hope he can play in the final like he did in the 4th and 5th sets and make a match of it.

 

[SneederFeeder]

Tennis is saved.

 

[The Green Mile]

Well, Fritz into his first major final. Good stuff.

 

[Sudacafan]

Life is usually like this

 

[McGradey]

Great match! Well done Fritz. Outlasted Foe easily at the end there.

And he earns the right to be eaten by the Thin Man on Sunday.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

This one's gonna sting hard for Foe... looked like the better player up to that point... what a mega choke - another one in his long resume.

 

[optic yellow]

Tiafoe needs that Sims empty meter meme

 

[Subway Tennis]

I was keen for Tiafoe to win this, but Fritz was an absolute rock. Phenomenal effort by Fritz to absolute blast the ball at the start of that fifth set.

 

[NeutralFan]

The gods want to mark this era.

That or Sinner is their chosen savior.

Tbh I don't see Fritz winning this final

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

I think Fritz will take it. Or perhaps Foe will blow it.

I don't always make predictions, but when I do...

Well, I'm usually wrong. But this one was spot on.

 

[Sudacafan]

I was keen for Tiafoe to win this, but Fritz was an absolute rock. Phenomenal effort by Fritz to absolute blast the ball at the start of that fifth set.

I knew Foe was losing it after he was broken serve with multiple double faults in the last game of the 4th set.

I am cheering for the doper on Sunday.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Tbh I don't see Fritz winning this final

Zero shot.

None.

 

[jayvee]

Some really horrible people post here. Good thing the **** you post here is completely meaningless

 

[Lleytonstation]

I knew Foe was losing it after he was broken serve with multiple double faults in the last game of the 4th set.

I am cheering for the doper on Sunday.

I knew tiafoe never had a shot.

 

[Sudacafan]

I knew tiafoe never had a shot.

Yeah, I read you wrote that. You're a visionary.

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

I don't always make predictions, but when I do...

Well, I'm usually wrong. But this one was spot on.

Correct on both counts.
