US Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

[Moxie]

To me Sinner is too tentative. He had momentum in that set, but laid back.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am so frustrated right now! I knew this will be a tough match for Sinner! Let's see if Sinner is able to win the 2nd set now.

He has to....what is up with him

 

[the AntiPusher]

I think he's got the game to win this match, but I question his cojones, to be blunt.

Point taken which is what spawn my message , "y'all sleeping on Sasha Zverev"

Zverev is playing well/solid but Sinner is not making him pay.

 

[kskate2]

And the resurgent Zed will get crush by Alcaraz on Wednesday.

That's likely true but we can't jump ahead. Give Red a chance and see if he can figure this out

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There you go return winner from Jannik

 

[kskate2]

Wow. 2 Djokosmashes by Zed already in this match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

See what I mean Sasha has blips on his serve and DFs

 

[rafanoy1992]

The thing is now though is can Sinner last a long, physical match like this? He needs to win the 2nd set quick or else it will be long match

 

[Moxie]

Patented DF from Zverev gives Sinner the early break!

he's 21. I'm sure he can survive a long match. I would expect this to be a long night. There's very little between them.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Also, the reason I am more agitated or vocal right now is because my expectation(s) for Sinner is Top 4/5 player in the world. He needs to show the fans/world that he will be consistent Top 4/5 player and not just an occasion bright spot here and there.

He is actually 22 years old. While he is young, I still think he is not in his physical peak or peak stamina yet. Also, it seems like a humid night so that will drain his energy a little bit more.

Did you mean "with"? See my point above. Ick!

I get that. But he's 1-3 against Zed for a reason. Whether he wins in 3,4 or 5 sets tonight. The goal is to win. Let's get this W in the books first and then we look ahead to Carlitos and the rest of the draw.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sahsa still hasnt cut his hair

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Jannik return more to his feet

 

[rafanoy1992]

For right now: If I were Sinner, I would just focus on holding serve three more times. If he gets an opportunity in the return game like 0-15 or 15-30 then be aggressive. Just focus on your energy on holding serve, Jannik!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

No No No drop shot Jannik too weak
