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

[DarthFed]

Gets blown out in a 29 minute set, my God.

 

[atttomole]

And Dzumbur will be confident after winning the first set.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Great first set from Roger...







..and by great, I mean pathetic...He looks disinterested.

Meanwhile I saw Nishikori struggling to put away Klahn. Kei failed twice to serve it out. In the end, he broke Klahn at 7-5 in the fourth set to move on.

Zero excuse to come out and get broken a couple times by a cream puff. He is clearly toast mentally. Better pull the plug on the year after this tournament, he would still have the #4 rank going into next year.

Of course, the mental issue is the primary reason. Dzhumhur knowing his game and all are secondary.

But, at least Fed got back one break. Let us see if Fed is awake enough to win this match.

Pretty sad. On one hand it is expected he'd be mentally a wreck after Wimbledon. On the other hand his career is on the line and I had a glimmer of hope he'd man up especially against a very weak draw up to the semis. I'm sure he will do the dumb thing and play out this year. A 4 month hiatus is what the doctor ordered but he won't do it. Got to play Basel and YEC of course...

Lol he broke a powder puff serve one out of 5 games, that is concerning too. Roger with a weak serve and getting smoked from baseline by another midget.

I am at work, just seeing scoreboard. Not actually watching the match. Don't know what the hell is going on. At least, I see Fed is up 2-0 in second.

Is ESPN3 a subscription channel?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Coric withdrew sending Grigor to 3rd round.

This means 50% of the top twelve players have already gone home.

 

[DarthFed]

Come on Roger, no more messing around. Needs to stop feeling sorry for himself, he put himself in this position of probably hating the damn sport.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

OK. Roger evens it.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Roger up a break in 3rd. Looks like he may have some plans of actually winning this match.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Roger is just padding up his "come from behind" stats...You know, how people say he is not a fighter?

The truth is, he is playing like beginner drummer right now. His timing is all over the place.

 

[DarthFed]

39% on 2nd serve points won. I'd expect a stat like that for him against Nadal on clay.

 

[10isfan]

Fed might never get over the Wimby 2019 scars.
I won’t.

 

[atttomole]

In a dogfight against Dzumbur. Unbelievable!!

 

[DarthFed]

Most of Fed's stats are actually pretty solid and yet here we are. I don't know if that makes me worry more or less.

He has played decently since the first set. If that had never happened it would have been a nice easy three setter.

 

[atttomole]

I can’t get the match on Arthur Ashe on ESPN + because it is on ESPN3. This is disgusting. Which means I have to get a third subscription to access ESPN3.
