US Open 2018, Flushing Meadows, NY USA - Grand Slam (Men)

[Jelenafan]

Nadal tightened up serving for it...

 

[Fiero425]

Nadal hung tough , but Kachanov, ah the lasting power of youth...

Unfortunately the bad shot selection of youth also; though puzzled by those who couldn’t foresee a close battle; as the same players had a pretty tight match in Toronto.

Khach breaks back to hang in there in the 4th! It's not over yet!

 

[Jelenafan]

, and then it's up to Fed to get 22+ to have had a great career. X slams is nothing if Nads gets X or more

I guess you subscribe to “ truth isn’t truth” philosophy..

I was watching Denis vs. KA, did Nadal choke when serving for the match? LOL

 

[Front242]

Hurry up and serve you stalling, bald prick.

 

[Jelenafan]

Very tight.

 

[Jelenafan]

Great point to get to the tiebreaker!!

 

[britbox]

This is over.

 

[Front242]

Tennis died a horrific death. Congratulations to the tour director. We now have 2 clay slams.

KA wraps up the 5th. Shapo gone.

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Yes I think it will be a difficult match! I am expecting a Nadal win in 4 sets with maybe a couple of 7-5 & 7-6... I don’t think Nadal has reached his peak form yet but this match will definitely help him get in the groove of things.

I was right.

5-7, 7-5, 7-6, 7-6

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Hats off to Khachanov!

Most #no-spine-in-me players would have folded 6-1, 6-2 after losing the second set. But, he at least fought fiercely and got the next two sets to TBs.

Great fight from Khachanov.

Those DFs at inopportune moments cost him big time

Match clocked in at 4:24
Did they include the rain delay in it as well?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Let us hope that Khachanov softened up Rafa and Bailashville can finish the job.

This felt like the Schwartzman match from AO earlier this year.
Basilashvili has no chance maybe Thiem/Anderson can do some damage

Nikoloz never played as well as he does right now. Probably it is too much for him to take out Nadal, but to say he has no chance is an exaggeration.

No chance of winning IMO.Maybe he can make a set or two competitive.

What's untruthful about that philosophy. Enjoy your clay boy's win in peace. He wins with ugly tennis, only in this day and age of slow high bouncing shit

He got 100 standing ovations during the match. Your hate towards him has blinded you. But you don't really hate him, you just hate the fact that he threatens your boyfriend's record. If Nadal had 3 slams you wouldn't even care to comment on him, but you are just so scared. It's really sad to watch. I will pray for you.

Yeah he gets standing ovations from the women who want to have his babies and the people that hate Federer. Calm down there.
