US Open 2019, Flushing Meadows, NY USA - Grand Slam (Men)

God this is pathetic. This guy makes Simon look aggressive

@Front: Alert...Cahill says that the young Sinner is like Robin Soderling. Maybe you have a new potential favorite!

 

[Moxie]

Wawrinka beats the young Sinner, but the kid seems to be one for the future.

Roger moving and hitting in slow motion

Heard that the last 10 years

Did this guy practice for this tournament? I am of the impression that he no longer has the desire to play tennis.

Who is Katie Couric's favorite player?

J Mac's commentary is funny at times.

I never buy the "love of the sport" BS. Roger is still around to try to keep his career great. And it isn't that great if he doesn't end up with most majors. Wimbledon choke was a big blow that will take time to recover from. Needs to regroup for 2020 after this tourney.

She's interviewed both Serena and Maria.

I agree with you that he knows his legacy is on the line. However, there are times when he looks like he doesn't want to be on the court, especially when things are not going well for him.

I think she likes Federer more.

Based on what?

Just a hunch.

 

[atttomole]

Nagal played a bit like Nadal, fighting for every point as if it was the last one.

If I have to be all Pollyannaish, I have seen some good backhands from Roger...That's about it though. Most underwhelming 6-1 set ever.

Well when you are only playing for legacy and something like Wimbledon happens it can take away the desire to be out there. Realistically Roger knows he has no chance at USO with his current headspace. You don't go from one of the worst losses in tennis history to coming up big a month later on a worse surface

Main problem is Roger's forehand is trash. Kind of holding my breath every time he's trying to hit big off it.

 

[Moxie]

Just a hunch.

You are cute. Your "hunch" is that you like Fed and you figure she must. LOL. My hunch is, since I've never noticed her at the Open before, that she wants to get her face on TV. But by any evidence, her interest was in the women's match, based on a quick google search.

His chances on this surface are slim. I think any average player that can show some fight will eliminate him. However, if he can advance to the later rounds, he could get some help. Wawrinka is still in the draw!!
