USO R3: [28] Nick Kyrgios vs Andrey Rublev

[BeatlesFan]

Jesus espn, we dont care about what random dude thinks

Isn't that dude preferable to them interviewing Coco Gauff's second cousin?

 

[Nadal15thslam]

I think you're discounting Rafa. I watched Nadal in 2004 and he rarely, rarely dropped serve when serving for a match. Rublev choked to love when serving against Tsits last week. Rublev is not the talent Nadal was, no way.

Of course he isn't but no one is. He is one of the best next genners though

 

[duaneeo]

"Tortured genius". LOL!!

 

[MeatTornado]

If you'd been to NY you'd know. Different culture than anywhere else in the world aside from New Jersey.

As a Jersey guy I'm so proud to be lumped in

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Nick putting eye drops in his eye now

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Blind Kyrgios to lose in 3 breakers

 

[Gary Duane]

Isn't that dude preferable to them interviewing Coco Gauff's second cousin?

Ban interviews while matches are going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Terenigma]

Nick putting eye drops in his eye now

He's already had that done by his trainer once this match. I'm not a doctor but shouldn't one drop be enough? *Shrugs*

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I don't even understand this NYC crowd. Now they're booing what? Rublev for complaining about the light or the man who did it?

 

[Slimerer]

The way Kyrgios is serving if he gets a break might as well give him the set too

 

[Slimerer]

Rublev was allowed to challenge that call after the shot he hit was called out...that's ridiculous

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Double break points for Nick.

 

[Terenigma]

Rublev saying someone is flashing lights behind Nick and crowd promptly boos. What a respectful crowd!

 

[MeatTornado]

That challenge absolutely should not have been allowed.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Net chord saves Rublev and the second break point!

Deuce

If you'd been to NY you'd know. Different culture than anywhere else in the world aside from New Jersey.

It's not even the culture specifically. It's just the diversity. It is such a melting pot for people from all over the world. If there was one place that could be called the capital of the world, that would be it.
I've lived in NYC for several years and don't really subscribe to the notion of NYers being rude. The crowd in the UsOpen is not a fair representation of the NY people.
Of course, there is a lot going on and people would be in a hurry. But over there, I've met and made friends with some of the nicest people I've ever met.

Different how? Explain

 

[James P]

Nick is starting to push Rublev into UEs

They're rude.

 

[Demented]

Nick's finally hitting and moving normally. Maybe the eye drops helped. Certainly looks more engaged.

 

[stringertom]

Eva nearly getting tagged, she’s pregnant ffsssss

In before @Red Rick says Rubylev almost pulled a Shapo!

 

[TennisFan3]

They're rude.

Care to qualify? Based on personal experience? Where specifically?

But they are a fair representation of NY sports fans.

 

[Terenigma]

Was Kyrgios trying to sabr there?

 

[sredna42]

This match is done. Kyrgios is purely a front runner. There's no coming back when he's down a set. He'll start weird chit now.

Don't mind rublev winning. He has some mongrel in him and could be a head kicker if he gets it together.

 

[NoleFam]

Nick can hit some big shots on both sides but if you move him in intense aggressive rallies, he will more often than not not be able to sustain. That's the difference between him and the big boys of this game who have won Slams. They would have broken that last game and not be as dependent on serve alone since they can return serve.

 

[AlexanderTheGreat08]

Rublev is just another automaton. Adds nothing to the game. Plus, his grunting is annoying.

A lot of heart. I love that

 

[flyingboris]

“Lady luck wearing the red white and blue... of Russia! .... in that game...”. Please, no more Koenig!

 

[Tennis_dude101]

20 to 6 U/E's, Nick's got to tighten up his game.

 

[Lleytonstation]

NK is done, he is about to lose control and go off at everything.

 

[Sorry_to_tell_you_mate]

I love how casually Nick hits when he doesn't care anymore.

 

[flyingboris]

“Well Kyrgios and his hands... that was magicional!’ #nomorekoenig

 

[MichaelNadal]

Wow, this match lol. Wish I had wings

 

[Otacon]

Trumendous stuff from Nick.

 

[James P]

Hilarious bit to win that set

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Nick is toying with Rublev now

 

[NoleFam]

Rublev is so predictable on those shots at the net.

 

[Terenigma]

Two incredible holds from both players there. Great match so far!

 

[La Grande]

Nick saying “I don’t wanna be here”

Lol

 

[tennisaddict]

Fantastic game from Nick. Just for this game alone he deserves to be the winner.

 

[Terenigma]

Nick Kygios just said to himself? "I don't wanna be here bro. I don't wanna be here. I just wanna go home"

 

[Demented]

Where do they find these announcers.... they should ban words like sumptuous.... The guy calling Kyrgios vs Huong was in love with Nick.. it was disturbing...

 

[MichaelNadal]

Nick Kygios just said to himself? "I don't wanna be here bro. I don't wanna be here. I just wanna go home"

Lol imagine if he cared.

 

[Slimerer]

Kyrgios has already given up. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets himself thrown out now

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Just imagine Kyrgios with a Ferrer like mentality

 

[Otacon]

Damn, all let balls go Rublev's way.

 

[MeatTornado]

Lol imagine if he cared.

Imagine if he could just admit to himself that he actually does care and stop putting up this facade that shields him from being afraid to fail.

 

[Tennis_dude101]

5-4 for Nick, time for a break me thinks

 

[Terenigma]

That forehand was a statement of intent lol

 

[MichaelNadal]

Imagine if he could just admit to himself that he actually does care and stop putting up this facade that shields him from being afraid to fail.

He might care, but he could certainly care more than he does, let's be real.
