Tennis: US Open 2016

[Tuggy]

FAA wins the junior title! He's gonna be a good one!

 

[Shrimper]

Just like that, Novak is back in the tie.

 

[ColePens]

This is turning into a nice dramatic finale.

 

[Shrimper]

I think it's more of the doom and gloom as a Murray fan for him.

Doom and Gloom?

He won the Olympics and Wimbledon this year with the Davis Cup to come.

I'm pretty happy.

He also got to the final of the French and Australian opens.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

That's not what I meant. Andy's (indeed) had a great year.

 

[ColePens]

Djok elevating his game! This is really starting to get good.

 

[ColePens]

There it is! 2 sets to 1! Now Let's go Djok. Let's get this to 5.

 

[ColePens]

The backhand down the line. So sick. He's hitting it with ease right now.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Stan deserves this title, truly. Amazing work. I'm glad if Nole can't win, it's Stan winning. These two are best friends on the tour. The way he's been serving this summer, it just wasn't gonna happen. Every point on his serve is a 50-50 point which makes holding serve very difficult.

I absolutely cannot stand Stan. Not that this even contributes but he keeps preventing Djoko from slams too.

 

[ColePens]

I trust Djok. He doesn't do this **** any more. I trust it was necessary.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

He is to Novak how Novak is to Rafa in the past couple years although before this match, Novak was 17-2 against him. Stan's such a nice guy though. I can't hate him.

Congrats to Wawrinka!

 

[Tuggy]

Novak losing this makes me think Federer's record is safe from him.

 

[ColePens]

Congratulations Stan! Djok... love that guy. Nothing but respect for that guy.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Stan is a Wimbledon title away from a career Slam.

 

[Filppula]

Stan is a Wimbledon title away from a career Slam.

Doubt he achieves that thankfully.

Djoko normally dominated the Asian swing, will be interesting to see what happens this year. He needs rest.

 

[ColePens]

****.. i had no clue Stan was taht jacked. He's got that Hornqvist type body. Built like a truck.

 

[ColePens]

Stan is a Wimbledon title away from a career Slam.

Weird to think that's the one he doesn't have.

I don't think he does it, either. He's never even reached the semis there.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Yay, Stan!

 

[ColePens]

Is there a story I don't know about with Stan/DJok? It sounded like Djok saved him from some bad decisions or something. He got real emotional doing that.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

I am just about to cry after watching this trophy ceremony. Wow. These guys. So much love and appreciation for each other. How can anyone hate Novak or Stan after watching this? Such gracious winners and losers. And as for Stan, just wow. So happy to be cheering for these two!

I think it's mostly personal, but Novak's worked a lot with Stan outside of actual matches. For one, they practice together, and spend decent time off-season together too. It's huge for Stan to say "If it wasn't for you [Novak], I wouldn't be here". Definitely seems like there's more to it than just tennis.

 

[ColePens]

Stan the man.. ****ing extremely humble and kind to say that in a country he doesn't reside in. True man.

 

[CupofOil]

Congrats to Stan. Seems like such a great guy and one of the most underappreciated champions that I can remember, the guy always plays big in the big matches and has always matched up well with Djokovic yet is always considered a big underdog against him for some reason. He's a Wimbledon away from a career Grand Slam, who woulda thunk?
