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

[Murat Baslamisli]

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.

I agree. I watched him a bunch of times this year. I really like how cool and calm he is at all times. Beating Nadal? Maybe not, but this guy has picked up his game. I would not be surprised if he got a set off Rafa.

Don't sleep on Borna here. One of those guys that has the capability of a serious run if he keeps it together.

 

[DarthFed]

Damn Stan getting serve botted by Raonic

Doesn't have a strong serve.Got broken twice by Medvedev already

Damn Stan getting serve botted by Raonic

Missed 3 makeable forehands on his serve.Cost him big time

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

Did you see that 39 shot rally at the end of second set. On multiple occasions, Ralph moonballed and still got away with it.

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

He gets standing ovation from everyone who loves tennis and have some knowledge of this sport instead to be in love only with a player like you do

Milos hits these ridiculous forehands out of nowhere sometimes. Fun to watch.

That slap inside/out FH is what's gotten him wins over Fedal in smaller events, but it has to be clicking to back up his big serving! :whistle:

 

[atttomole]

The big man breaks.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Milos showing nice touch at the net. He is playing within himself, staying calm so far.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

That inside out forehand Milos hits and gets those amazing angles...I have seen him and his coach practice this shot over and over again in my club. The coach stays a bit behind the baseline and Milos starts from the right sideline. The coach throws the ball up in the air at a reasonable height, Milos runs all the way around it to get it to his forehand side and hits it inside out and runs back to the original spot and the coach throws another ball up in the air and it goes on like that for a couple of minutes. A lot of footwork and precision. Fun to watch.

Well done by the way. Not an easy feat straight setting Stan.

 

[Carol]

Milos was playing more solid and better than Stan even I though he couldn’t beat him but he did

 

[DarthFed]

So another Raonic and Isner meeting. Seems a little more even this time than Wimbledon when I figured Isner would have the edge. I think Milos takes it.

 

[herios]

Nice result by Milos. His secise win over Stan in his career.

Can you translate it for us?
In anticipation of what you might have said, the Milos-Stan H2H now stands 2-4, with both wins by Raonic best of 5, both most recent, previous was AO2016. Prior to that, Stan's wins are all best of 3.

And your point about winning is what?

 

[Michael;Kiwi]

At the start of the event my father picked that the Big 3 wouldn't win. Even though they haven't lost this now feels plausible.

 

[Mastoor]

I watched the match and my impression is that Khachanov may become new Soderling to Nadal. This one won't make fun of him, but will beat him when he least expects.

Pity for Lajovic who had very good chance against nervous Isner, but he blew it probably due to all those horrible blisters he has from even before USO.

Nole vs Gasquet tomorrow will be beauty as always.

Who did he pick? You never know with 3 of them, especially not with Nole.

 

[Jelenafan]

Could have sworn Stan and Magnus Norman had split up fairly recently.
