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

[herios]

Nicky looks completely engaged today but still can't break

Because he is erratic.

 

[herios]

Millman ranked 55 vs. Kukushkin ranked 84, underway.
The Aussie never reached second week in a slam, Kukushkin did it once 6 years ago reaching R4 at the AO .
I think Millman has a great opportunity here.

Millman took advantage of his opportunity and made his first 4 round in slams.

Kyrgios is a 23 y old acting like 13.
What he needs is a mentor and that role was taken by the umpire in his last match.

And you would also agree that Lahyani was completely out of line to step out of the chair to give that mentoring?

And you would also agree that Lahyani was completely out of line to step out of the chair to give that mentoring?

Absolutely. That was a no no.

 

[nehmeth]

He could spare us agony by being eliminated this round. He looks really bad.

How do you look good when the guy is serving bombs on you? He's having a tough time getting into a rhythm. The hiccup in the 7th game should help Roger focus.

 

[kskate2]

He was definitely out of line to get out of his chair. If he thought Nicky was tanking, he could have given him a soft warning (during changeover) from the chair to stop tanking.

But Roger is not serving well himself.

 

[nehmeth]

Nice pass for Roger to get to set point

 

[Front242]

They are very worry because Federer has a very “dangerous” opponent named Kyrgios “the greatest”, you know how many MS and GS has won.....

He's great enough to many for knocking your hero the fuck outta Wimbledon. NWA wrote a song about it called Straight outta Wimbledon. And no, we're not worried about anything but Roger's own poor form coming into this event and the fact that he has the hardest draw with Djokovic in the 1/4 finals if he even manages to make it there.

 

[nehmeth]

Yeah, Fed looks as though he really sucks! All he needs is a little time to get a read on Kyrgios' serve. Two nice passes and he has the first set in his pocket.

 

[Federberg]

a bit of grand theft seto there from Roger

 

[monfed]

Fed stole that set

 

[kskate2]

Rog totally stole that set.

 

[Front242]

You are coming up with the injury excuse which you despise when Rafa fans do? Seriously?

No, clearly I'm not. He had just had knee surgery ffs and came back way too soon. His movement was way off. Maybe you've forgotten the point where he fell flat on his face out of nowhere. Perfectly normal.

 

[Federberg]

If Kyrgios is any sort of player he'll recognise he was better in that set. If he's just a dumbass he'll just check out and start gesticulating. Let's see

 

[nehmeth]

Rog totally stole that set.

How did he steal it? Nick outserved him for most of the set, but Fed came up with the shots when he had to.

 

[kskate2]

If I was a betting woman, I'd say the latter Berg.

 

[kskate2]

How did he steal it? Nick outserved him for most of the set, but Fed came up with the shots when he had to.

Definition of theft --> when the opponent who was clearly playing better end up losing anyway

 

[Andy22]

by that logic Federer has the greatest serve of all time. It must put the serves of Ivanisevic, Sampras, Isner and Karlovic to shame. In fact they all must have average WTA serves.... or (B) that's just a dumb comment. I'll go with (B)

I did say that the serve the reason why federer won 20 slams which means why he's won that many, it does not mean I was saying he won all slams with just he's serve, most likely 13 of them have came from federer shot making and the rest with hes serve.

 

[Federberg]

If Nick isn't careful he'll get rolled in an ugly way from here. Here's hoping!
