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

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great speed from Novak there

 

[Moxie]

Would have been 3 doubles in a row, but didn't get the call. Djokovic serve is not at it's best, but he's still got tons more game than Kudla.

 

[Moxie]

Do you think DM is better on the courts here at the USO?

Than Lopez? I do think he has more game. But I also think he's mentally weary, and its showing.

 

[Moxie]

Kudla is never going to win the war of attrition with Novak, even if his shoulder isn't best. Kudla has to go for broke now...go big, or go home. And going home is all but certain for him.

I meant his game is better say on a faster surface overall

I don't really know enough about his game. He lost in DC and Canada, and won in Cincy, so he would seem to favor faster. As does Lopez, as he's good on grass.

 

[Moxie]

Kuala should have punished that short, weak serve. If he couldn't win that point, he's not going to win even a set.

Yeah I have not seen him play that much either,I think the faster surfaces suit him,just going on Cincy and USO so far.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak really playing within himself,has not been really pressured so far in this match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

WOW FH winner down the line from Kudla

 

[Moxie]

Fantastic pick up and pass from Kudla there. Probably won't get the break back, but he should dine out on that.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ace on the line from Novak

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great disguise on the drop shot from Novak

 

[Moxie]

Seemingly no issues with the left shoulder or right elbow.

 

[Moxie]

Lopez makes it a set a piece.

 

[Moxie]

ND breaks first game of the 3rd.

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Jeez, Djokovic is soooo boring to watch. :sleep:

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kudla gives his all and NOvak has shoulder issues. So, what is the net result?

Two sets and a break down.

Shows how much diff in quality.

Djokovic puts his opponents to sleep. An effective but boring game. :sleep:

Exactly. Both arms tied behind his back and Kudla can hardly win a game, try as he might.
