2023 US Open SF: Djokovic vs. Shelton

[tented]

Really, the pressure is all on Novak. Ben has nothing to lose, so theoretically he could be dangerous. Theoretically.

 

[tented]

It still strikes me as odd that Novak has “only” won this 3 times.

 

[tented]

23 majors, and only 3 in New York.

 

[Moxie]

He's lost a lot of finals here

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

9 finals he has lost

 

[Moxie]

Wow!

 

[Moxie]

Any word on the roof? It's darkened up a lot here.

 

[Moxie]

I just heard them say it...roof is closed.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Do you think the crowd will be on Bens side in this match though Novak got a loud roar

 

[Kieran]

He's lost a lot of finals here

A world record number of finals. He likes breaking records. He’s cool about it…

 

[Moxie]

I think being American, he'll have a lot of support.

 

[tented]

They started to close it during the men’s doubles championship, but didn’t finish. They must have closed it after they were done.

 

[Moxie]

Well, it must be air conditioned in there, so that will help the players.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

AO there is air cond when they close the roof good all round for players and fans

 

[tented]

They’re going to go wild for Ben. They’ll want to see a competitive match. The only way they go pro Novak is if Ben somehow gets up two sets to love.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

T lol!

 

[tented]

It’s so rare for an American man to get this far in New York that it will be quite an atmosphere.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good for Ben I became a fan at the AO this year

 

[Moxie]

I just heard thunder.

 

[Moxie]

Ben is young and charming, too. They'll be embracing him.
