2017 US Open semifinals: Anderson vs. Carreno Busta

[GameSetAndMath]

Oh boy, I don't want PCB in the final, please

 

[Denis]

It's actually a half decent match. PCB doesn't make any errors and that's why he's winning unfortunately. He also reads KA quite well.

 

[Denis]

KA takes the second set. Best of three now. PCB will not become the first us open champ without dropping a set.

 

[Denis]

Clutch play by KA on set point, well done. At least both players are up for the challenge today, it's a good match.

 

[Moxie]

PCB has been the calmer and sturdier, right up until he got broken there to lose the set. I still think he'll win.

PCB is also the the more risk adverse of the two, KA is bringing it. Makes him the crowd favorite. I don't know who's going to win.

 

[Denis]

KA takes the early break.

Keep it going, Anderson. Hilarious comment by someone on one of the chats on batmanstream...someone said if Anderson loses at least he can always be an extra on The Walking Dead. ROFL!

Ditto! If Rafa gets thru Del Po, PCB'll roll over like a pup as the rest of the Spanish contingent normally does to their tennis GAWD! :whistle:

 

[Denis]

I am impressed tho with PCBs composure, def a player that maximises his potential. A kind of anti-Kyrgios.

So long as that composure amounts to losing I'm perfectly ok with that

Lol

 

[Denis]

PCB made one ufe in the first set apparently.

 

[Denis]

Lots of positive energy in the match too.

PCB def dropped a level. I think KA will win now.

Yeah...as soon as I wrote that, he got tight, and KA is reading his serve better, gaining confidence.

That's is a perfectly ridiculous idea, and I can't believe you're still hanging onto it. But KA has more of a game to trouble Nadal, if he makes the final.

I have a hard time seeing that you even have that much of an opinion about him to dislike him that much. Is it JUST because he's Spanish?

What's ridiculous about it? I know someone who thinks the Spanish Fed has laid down the law not to even challenge Rafa in a Major!

It's ridiculous because I don't believe that top competitive athletes will roll over for anyone. A more reasonable theory would be that Spaniards tend to learn in a similar way, and Rafa is the best of them.

Who PCB? Nyah; I think he's a hottie & reminds me of "The Mosquito" who I saw recently looking pretty good after all these years! :whistle:
