US Open SF : (5) Daniil Medvedev vs Grigor Dimitrov

[MeatTornado]

Did anyone just see Medvedev's hands?

 

[The Green Mile]

Dimitrov has 11 career wins against top 5 opponents, that's not too bad tbh....

 

[BeatlesFan]

Medvedev says to Rinaldi just now, "I am 100% ready physically. Feel good after 2 days off."

 

[MeatTornado]

Still not sure who to root for.

I like Medvedev's mentality for a potential final, but the memes of Rafa winning another USO without a single top 20 win is pretty alluring.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Scattering of boos for Medevdev.

Did anyone just see Medvedev's hands?

Is that grip powder, almost looks like he’s wearing gloves?

Looked like he dipped his hands in a bucket of the stuff.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Still not sure who to root for.

Rafa's beating either of them easily, so root for the guy you like the most. I'm for Med all the way!

I still have .1% of hope that Med can win this thing if he wins quickly today and embraces his full on DGAF mode on Sunday with Rafa having a slightly off day.

 

[arvind13]

hoping for medvedev straight set win

 

[The Green Mile]

Medvedev vs Dimitrov first up, all I'm hearing from the ESPN guys is the Fedal major race lol.

 

[Sysyphus]

Grigor is 12-8 at the USO?

lol, sobad.

 

[Tenacity]

Medvedev to win tonight and on Sunday! Lets go. He is future #1 for sure

 

[MeatTornado]

Djokovic-Murray flashbacks on that opening point.


Kill me.

 

[The Green Mile]

How effective is the Dimitrov slice going to be today?

 

[VashTheStampede]

Medvedev says to Rinaldi just now, "I am 100% ready physically. Feel good after 2 days off."

Rinaldi's out there again? Did he still sound sick? I hope he feels 100% physically too after 2 days off.

 

[Tenacity]

Djokovic-Murray flashbacks on that opening point.


Kill me.

Come on, don't be like that. I miss Murrovic

 

[The Green Mile]

Broken to love to start the match

 

[Sysyphus]

Grigor Dimitrov – walking, breathing tragedy

 

[Hera]

Well, that was a quick start.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Dismal opening serve game from Dimi.

 

[gn]

Grigor all the way.

 

[MeatTornado]

This is the Grigor we saw on Tuesday. I don't want to hear anything about that QF being a big moment in his career.

He would've double-faulted his way out of the tourny in straights if Fed was even close to 100%.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Dimitrov put off your headband please

 

[The Green Mile]

Man, Dimitrov better be willing to transition forward often today, that's the only way I see him winning this sadly... A proactive game.

Did anyone just see Medvedev's hands?

No but whats up with his hands?

 

[The Green Mile]

Medvedev is at 49% unreturned serves at this USO, wowzers...

 

[StrongRule]

I used to think Dimitrov is the king of double faults, but Med gives him good competition.

 

[Sysyphus]

it's sad, so sad / it's a sad, sad situation

 

[Hera]

Medvedev is at 49% unreturned serves at this USO, wowzers...

Amazing stat considering the high number of DFs he has hit in some matches this tournament.

 

[helixx]

how much work has to grigor do to win 1 freaking point

 

[Sysyphus]

the way this is going, Rafaello is going to be charged with a hate crime after the beating he'll give to whoever comes through here.

 

[_GOATbis]

Med 3-0

Spoiler

Даня вперед!

 

[BeatlesFan]

it's sad, so sad / it's a sad, sad situation

[Born_to_slice]

Wow, Laver looks like a corpse.

Nobody ever wrote that Dimitrov was simply too good for Federer. Only a troll can write such a thing.

 

[SeeingDusk]

The ball hitting sounds so clean and crisp with the roof closed. The way the ball echoes with the roof closed. Amazing acoustics!

 

[helixx]

gregor

 

[StrongRule]

Wow, two pushers are playing. That can be a long match...

 

[BeatlesFan]

Dimi going after the Med FH.

 

[gn]

Grigor breaks back with a FH pass.
YESSSS!

 

[MajesticMoose]

Grigor crushing some fearhands. Tied back up.

 

[StrongRule]

Dimitrov's slice backhand is one of the most annoying shots ever. He always hurts Nadal a lot with it.

 

[The Green Mile]

That was a nasty slice serve, only 100 mph but well up the box...

 

[StrongRule]

Med hits everything into the net right now.

 

[TennisaGoGo]

Wow, two pushers are playing. That can be a long match...

What match are you watching

 

[The Green Mile]

What a point for the service hold, short slice gets the optional ball for the attacking forehand, great overhead to seal it. 3-2.

 

[Meles]

I love Meddy, but most impressive by Greegor; he's force Medvedev out of his default pushery mode.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Since Grigor said three days ago the Agassi and Stepanek are his coaches, why aren't either of them there?
