Tennis: US Open 2018

[Tuggy]

Raonic off to a quick start against Simon.

 

[Satan'sIsland81]

Stephens down 4-1 in the first, this should be interesting.

Sloane is good but so overrated based on her surprise US Open win last year. There is no way she is a #3 seed, probably not even a top 5. She should probably be around 7-10.

 

[Peanut]

Thought Tsit and Med would go the distance honestly surprised Med is looking so strong.

 

[kihei]

Medvedev appears to be having no trouble with Tsitsipas at the moment, up two sets to none and even in the third at 2-all. That surprises me.

I agree. She's roaring back now though,4-3.

Make that 4-4.

Tsitsipas, looking like a spent force, gets broken at love, but then breaks right back --Medvedev could live to regret that, 4-3 back on serve.

No where near Tsit this bad, sure he got heavily overrated after his flukely run at Canadian masters hes more of a mid tier player. Maybe he wakes back up he sure doesn't give up I respect that.

Uh oh Med having a mini freakout after being broke again

With this heat, nice little break after three sets. If Stefanos holds here, it could get interesting.

 

[Tuggy]

Hmm, could Medvedev collaspe now?

Venus-Giorgi just beginning. Giorgi ain't hard to look at.

 

[kihei]

Terrific win for Medvedev who has been sort of the ugly duckling on the Next Gen, but not anymore.

 

[tony d]

Raonic is up 2 sets to none and is a break way from breaking Simon's serve. He does that and he's up 2-1. All this vs. a relatively good opponent in Gilles Simon.

 

[Peanut]

Johnson takes a tumble on a point against Thiem looks pretty rough

 

[Tuggy]

Not much trouble for Raonic today.

 

[kihei]

Venus-Giorgi just beginning. Giorgi ain't hard to look at.

I wouldn't know. Everytime I take a peak at this match, I'm staring at Venus. Her opponent might as well be invisible. That's US networks for you, though.

 

[kihei]

Sloane pulls it out in three sets. Good, solid comeback, though there were times the heat made it seem as though the match was being played lethargically.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Stephens is SO lucky. She will not repeat.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Stan looks to be in form. He seems to be mentally there which for him is bigger than most.

 

[kihei]

Fritz and Kubler a set apiece. Taylor has real skills but his service game doesn't scare even the scrubs.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Murray looks so distracted today....

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Too bad Johnson hurt himself, he might have won, he took it 5.

Kubler did the same thing on court 13

 

[MsMeow]

Denis needs to get his head out of his ass. And just like that, he wakes up and breaks to get back on serve 3 all. The first few games he was making UEs left, right and centre.

Yes, Denis! Takes the first 6-4 with a break in the final game. Who is this announcer who calls him Shapopalov?

Second set, Denis is down a break at 3-5. He is very off and on with his play. Seppi takes the second 6-4.

Denis up 4-2 in the third. Of course I have to leave now.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Murray down 2-1.

Honestly I think Stan is the better player if we are talking the Big 4, they have the same amount of majors but the French should almost be worth extra because clay is the toughest surface and most don't grow up on it.

I also think if you look at their careers, nothing was expected of Wawrinka, meanwhile Murray was supposed to be the British savior of tennis. Wawrinka was overshadowed by Federer.

 

[Tuggy]

Denis wins the 4th set TB and we are going the distance.

 

[jj cale]

Only two tsn channels and they are both showing serena against some 118th ranked stiff when there are far better matches going.

Real frustrating.
