2019 Men's US Open Semifinals: Rafael Nadal vs. Matteo Berrettini

I thought they said the fall. I assume that means Sep or early Oct

This is terrible. After playing so good, nothing to show.

He has played well, but he's the underdog. TB tends to go to the experienced player.

Oh please, stfu. Nadal saved set point at 6-4 with a mishit foreign return. Was that "experience"? As always you are clueless.

 

[Moxie]

Berrettini not going away, but Rafa starting to prepare for the drop shot.

It will be a long night for Matteo, if at all he plans on winning this.

Give me a break. You use patterns all the time to justify your crazy theories about matches that have gone other ways. Am I actually wrong to say that the more experienced player tends to win a TB?

 

[Moxie]

Great way to start the 2nd for Matteo.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

At least he did not cough up a break in disappointment of losing first set.

That has nothing to do with what just happened. Do you have eyes? Berretini served for the set at 6-4 and Nadal oaf-ed an awkward mishit forehand return in the court that was so awkwardly hit Berretini hit the tape with his own forehand.

 

[calitennis127]

Chris Fowler should not be allowed to announce tennis. Listening to him is just miserable. Jason Goodall is far better and should be the A guy, the first string.

 

[Moxie]

Wicked angle from Nadal.

We should all be grateful that Carillo is not here. I can handle anyone but her, Nadal's dick warmer...

 

[Double Bagel]

Great forehand from Matteo to save a break point.

 

[kskate2]

he's not going away. he's hanging in there. 2-1

You have an inability to understand that one thing affects another in tennis. This is why you live in fantasy land. You think it should always go the way you believe it should, which doesn't respect the way of tennis.

Did Djokovic's straight-set clobbering of Nadal in the Australian Open final go the way of tennis?

Nadal's forehand return on 6-4 was lucky and he would be the first to tell you that.

 

[Double Bagel]

One thing I can say about Matteo is he has grit and determination and he is not going to make this easy for Nadal.

I'm actually sorry that she's gone and I do want to get to the bottom of that. She was smart and funny. I don't think in any way she was the biggest rah-rah for Nadal. I thought she left because she felt she wasn't allowed to speak her mind against the top players.

 

[tented]

he's not going away. he's hanging in there. 2-1

I love that he isn’t completely deflated or doing the hangdog routine after blowing SPs.

Agreed. She might be the only announcer worse than Fowler - a designation which it takes a unique degree of horribleness to match. Those are two Americans who should be banned from discussing tennis in front of the public.
