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

He's no angel, but you don't have to make him out to be terrible, either. It seems fannish coming from you, if you don't mind my saying so.

Believe what you want but I dislike Murray for the same reasons.

Forgive me, but that seemed like a non sequitur.

Day 5 Summary

Things are settling down at Flushing Meadows as we are approaching the business end of the tournament.

· Favorites Novak and Roger cruised past their third round rivals to set up interesting fourth round encounters with Wawrinka and Goffin respectively.

· Medvedev managed to beat a tough opponent, after an erratic performance which included obscene gestures at the crowd and lashing at ball boys for no reason. However, he has a relatively straightforward route to quarterfinals as Basilashvili bowed out against Koepfer.

· Surprisingly, Nishikori was beaten by a spirited Di Minaur. This means Dimitrov has a chance reach a Grand slam quarterfinal for the first time since 2018 Australian open.

· Matches to watch out in third round – Djokovic vs. Wawrinka, Federer vs. Goffin, Dimitrov vs. Di Minaur


First half of the draw will be very interesting going forward.

I saw the towel snatch from the ball guy and the gesture at the crowd, but that interview was something else LOL. Expecting him to get booed even against Djokovic if they meet haha

US Open Order of Play for Round 3 Saturday, August 31, 2019

Medvedev begging for the crowd to love him just like Djokovic begs...

How does Djokovic "beg for the crowd to love him" you tool? He does not enjoy the total favoritism the New York crowd gives Federer when they play each other but that's far from "begging for the crowd to love him."

Alternatively, Kobe Bryant has been hanging around a lot this tournament, and he might be able to handle it.

Look everyone.....Moxie has heard of an NBA player for the first time. What a cool moment!

Being all dramatic/going postal style about it isn't going to prove your points.

Lol.....it is very funny that you said this, Darth, because Broken has clearly changed his posting identity in the last couple years. It is ironic that his favorite NBA player over the years has been Durant, because he is putting on the same kind of clown show in identity transformation that Durant did after winning his first ring. Remember how Durant - after a decade in the NBA of being bland and quiet - won his first ring and then the following season (2017-2018) started acting like he was the most roughhouse gangster the NBA had ever seen, getting well over 10 technicals for the season? I remember Chris Broussard pointing out that Durant had never acted like that during his first 10 years in the NBA and Colin Cowherd making the hilarious remark that Kevin Durant is the guy who brings his 3 toughest friends to a bar and then tries to start fights with everyone.

Well, that is Broken now. Partially in reaction to my charges in the past that he was a cheesy cliche-spouter, he is making a point of being extra-aggressive in his rhetoric. That isn't to say he hasn't improved (he clearly has, and I am proud of him for it), but there are times when it seems he is trying to make too much of a point that he is different now.

He is still my son though.....so it's nice to see his growth.

Right now 20 is tremendous because it is more than anyone else, but it ceases to be tremendous if 1 or 2 of his peers passes it up.

I have to take your side on this one Darth.....I think you tend to make some ridiculous overexaggerations but in this case you are right. And if Brokentoken is honest with himself, he will admit in his own mind that the joy he or Djokovic fans would feel if their guy surpassed Federer in Slams would be a testament to just how significant that number is.

Roger in his prime was ridiculously consistent and more dominant than the others by a good measure. But yet he is at risk of getting passed up in large part due to the aforementioned disastrous 7 year period between AO 2010-AO2017.

He definitely should have won the 2011 French Open final....he was the better player for long stretches of that match. That was one of the worst losses of his career.

That wasn't just strong competition by the way, it is a period marred with losses against a bunch of nobodies as Roger only made 5 major finals and barely was making 50% of semis in that period. Of course a lot of them were complete collapses which goes back to the fact that those mental disasters simply don't happen to the other top guys. Thus the underachieving.

But you understate how much of a weakness Federer's backhand has been at times throughout his career. That was a factor too.

He plays basketball?

 

[isabelle]

Medvedev's hot blooded...didn't expext him to have this kind of attitude....USO's crowd's awful by the way, don't know why they always manage to boo a player, are they drunck or what ?

 

[Nadalfan2013]

What a jerk.

 

[Bonaca]

Daniil is young and hot blooded, i can feel with him. Novak is similar to him.
The crowd is the last shit , like in London.
But I don’t believe he is the cool motherfucker that he showed us in this interview. He won because Lopez is not good enough. A quality opponent and he would have lost this match in straights.

 

[Front242]

What a jerk.

Please explain how that works. The crowd is full of scumbags so that makes him a jerk ? Makes sense...

Is this your definition of an OK guy? Oh, right...you backed Kyrgios:

Not any different than your puta shouting banana to a ball kid.

Proving once again that you have complete double standards and that you don't understand how "puta" is (not) used in Spanish, despite my attempt to instruct you. But still I'm unclear...I thought you didn't think Medvedev did anything wrong, and it was only the crowd that was wrong. As in the Kyrgios incident, where Nick did nothing only the umpire was wrong. But somehow you always find ways to blame Nadal for anything he does.

I didn't say that. I said your puta is no better. I've heard him say simply puta many times despite your attempt to instruct me.

Ok, then there's nothing wrong with it, according to you then. As to "puta" he wouldn't say simply that. You're just wrong.
