2017 US Open semifinals: Anderson vs. Carreno Busta

[rafanoy1992]

Anderson leads the H2H match-up 2-0 including a win over Carreno Busta in Montreal just a couple of weeks ago.

I pick Anderson to win in 4 sets...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I am sure Anderson will win. Not sure whether in 3 or 4. Voted for 4 though.

If PCB and Rafa play the final, I would probably not even watch a minute of it.

 

[Denis]

Once in a lifetime opportunity for both.

I voted for Anderson, but I actually think that PCB will win. PCB seems on a roll, is having a good year and is playing incredibly clean this open.

Likewise, Denis. Anderson should win but I think PCB will win. He played 4 straight qualifiers so he's fresh from being mostly untested. Hasn't played anyone remotely good really except Shortman. PCB v Nadal would be a rubbish final so for all who want to watch it, they better pray Anderson wins. Doubt I'll get to watch it now since I'll be on holiday.

PCB in 3

I like Carreno-Busta (have seen him play on court, the guy is really good), but Anderson is playing fine tennis and is a threat to anyone in the final. Anderson in 4.

According to Roger everybody is struggling at this tourney in different ways except for PCB. Hope Roger is wrong though and PCB struggles in this SF.

Will this semi bring the Internet down? Just thinking of all those live streams and the millions tuning in.

 

[crystalfire]

Roger Federer fans are very arrogant. Cheap sarcasm.

Oh come on herios. This semi is terrible. There is no story to it too.

Those guys worked hard and there is no reason to keep ridiculing them.
The sport is not defined by only a handful of guys.
Yes, it will not be such a headliner,
,But nonetheless it will be interesting.
I am sure all of us watched much worse matches.
PCB could become a top 10 player from here on.

 

[Denis]

I'm trying to think of a worse semi than this one. I don't think there is. Washington - Todd martin? 1997 Wimbledon.

The paycheck makes up for that. I'm not ridiculing them btw, I kind of like Anderson.

PCB tho, his path must have been the easiest in the history of tennis. 4 qualifiers and then the little guy.

I think the criticism and the assessment should be done afterwards.
And by the way, did Rafa had auch more different path. Also lame, for such a champion. Cakewalk is an understatement.

Yeah Rafa is getting way too much pops for what he has done so far. Darth & co trying to do their mighty best not to jinx DP lol . Not impressed at all so far with Nadal.

 

[Denis]

And we are underway.

 

[Denis]

Doesn't look like we will see many breaks.

I reallly think we need a chat function for this semi.
