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

[Bonaca]

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

Man, this arkadaš is playing lights out.

 

[Bonaca]

Look at these baseline shots and execution. Beast mode. It’s clear this is addressed to Novak and the bull.

 

[atttomole]

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!

I disagree. Federer's play has been patchy. He has produced flashes of his usual brilliance, but you can see that he is still fragile. It doesn't take much for him to lose his confidence.

He is now playing 4,5 sets mostly brilliant and no sign or reason not to continue.
This is really strong, looks better than any other player so far!

 

[atttomole]

And Goffin is helping with a lot of errors.

Fed with break in 2nd

Wooow!

But he also lost the first sets in his first two matches. I definitely think he is playing a lot better but we can not really judge his true level until the semifinals.

At least he is not "depressed" anymore as other posters think of him.

And Goffin is helping with a lot of errors.

What should he do against these shots and level. Who dominates is clear, when clicking Goffin could only go from one side to the other. Hopefully Fed stays consistent.

 

[atttomole]

Federer gets broken again.

Yeah agree. Lot better than first two matches.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

just when you think Fed is going to run away with the match, he gives the break back

 

[rafanoy1992]

As I said about Nadal and I will apply it to Federer, at this point of their careers, it helps that their draws do not contain a lot of "landmines" as it helps them to relax and conserve their energies towards the end of the tournament.

 

[atttomole]

Goffin is getting more errors from Federer's forehand side.

 

[atttomole]

Fed is playing better with his backhand.

 

[Bonaca]

Yes he does but I’m not 1% concerned about the outcome. 3:0 Fed, nothing else.
Come on guys he is playing big!

 

[Bonaca]

There is only one negative point to me, he isn’t challenged yet. He is fighting himself a bit in the first two matches.
How he shows up when meeting a guy of his class is the question.
Seeing this, I’m not betting against him.

You are right there. Imagine him being broken twice in a set by Djokovic. The set would be over.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Despite breaking Fed in each set, Goffin loses each set with a score line of 6-2

 

[Bonaca]

I don’t know what you are watching, but I see an unstoppable Maestro.

Note to self: Don’t ever bother watching a Goffin match again.
