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

G.monfils is entertaining but also try 100% to win that's the difference between him+ Kyrgios, well done to Monfils such a good player been to the semis of the Roland Garros + us open.

If they're going to be boring, they should be quick about it, I agree with that. But if they're going to be thrilling, I'll accommodate if it takes a longer. I'd actually prefer thrilling. You have to admit that it was only their longer points that were even fun.

Gotcha.
I can’t rememebr a single thrilling Kyrgios match lol
He’s rather boring imo apart from the serve and the antics

Didn't he have a good one v. Fed this year? Other than that, I can't think of one.

Tell Kskate that Beauty only lasts a little while,I prefer Brains any day,just like the young Rublev

Not sure about brains as far as Rublev.
For me, it will be the Beauty and the Beast.

US Open Results for Round 3 Day 6 - Saturday, August 31, 2019

 

[GameSetAndMath]

In that match, I like that they both didn’t take up the full 25 seconds and served quickly after points, no messing around

Regardless if the play was dull or not, if Kyrgios is going to servebot or whatever and make it look effortless, props for doing it as fast as possible. Same with Rublev being swift

One service game of Nick lasted just 40 seconds.

One service game of Nick lasted just 40 seconds.

And it was dull, but mercifully quick.

Sorry to tell you the bad news but Monfils is well known as one of the biggest tankers on tour. He's started trying to win a bit more recently as some have mentioned due to his girlfriend but I've watched many matches where he inexplicably just threw the match away, eg. that 5 set match at RG versus Murray where he didn't even try in set 5 and blasted balls about 15 feet wide or into the net and lost the set 6-0 in hands down one of the shortest sets ever. About 12 minutes.

Day 6 Summary

Things are falling to pieces in the bottom half of the men’s draw.



· Nadal cruised against Chung to set up a meeting with Cilic who defeated Isner. Nadal has not been tested yet and he will face his first tough opponent when he meet the 2014 US Open champion.

· Rublev was impressive yet again and dispatched Kyrgios in straight set. Based on his form I would not be surprised if he reaches a quarterfinal or a semifinal this time.

· Monfils downed Shapovalov in a close 5 set encounter and now in a good position to reach the quarters.

· Schwartzman eased through to the fourth round along with Zverev, Berrettini and Andújar.

Tomorrow we will have two blockbuster clashes at Ashe with Roger taking on Goffin and Novak meeting Stan.

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

Yeah the interview was epic. Based on the attitude I feel the guy might even pull a win against Djoker

I was Not talking about back in the day I was now days Monfils goes 100% if you think Monfils still tanks that's your opinion don't try to put as fact because it's not. The point I was saying is then Monfils plays 100% he's really good player if course you turned it in to a Federer fan troll thing, which that you always do.

Monfils hasn't a clue how to play in all honesty. He has the ability to serve fast and hit blistering fast winners but instead he serves mostly 3/4 pace and pushes the ball 90% of the time and then out of nowhere suddenly hits a super fast down the line forehand or backhand. If he played aggressively all the time he'd win a lot more matches imo. He plays completely the wrong way. How the hell has this got anything to do with Federer btw ? You mentioned him first, not me.

Firstly yes I do agree Monfils plays the wrong way, it's really hard to defend him so not going to keep trying. second I was talking about Federer fan's not Federer himself, as you being a Federer fanboy first thing you do then Monfils won is point out how much he's tanked not even praiseing him on the win like that you should do then someone wins?.

Kyrgios definitely likes to talk $hit but later he doesn’t have the guts to keep it, he is sooo dumb

Personally, I thought that was hilarious, especially of ESPN to hold his feet to the fire and make him own it. To his credit, he did. What was going to do? He had to be gracious.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Pretty solid set from Roger with the exception of one service game. He is hitting well from the baseline.

 

[Bonaca]

Watching the Fed match, against Evans and what he is playing so far against McFly , he is the best player of this tournament.
Very aggressive, fantastic to watch, and effective.
Novak would lose to this Fed in straights if he didn’t find at least his AO level. Others will look lost like Goffin is at the moment.
Wooow!
