US Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

[kskate2]

For my money Tommy Paul is the top playing American...ask Carlitos

It's a matchup issue. Tommy wouldn't bring that same level to Red. The American would quickly find himself getting bossed from the baseline.

As evidenced by their SF mtg in Canada

Can someone throw in the towel please

more of the same bad tactics, poorly executed

I know I've already mentioned before how dense Tay is. Djoke is nowhere near his best and is slumping over alot. Can Taylor even keep the ball in the court and force Djoke to move? So far he keeps hitting the ball right back to the ole man

It pretty much sums up this match. This is straight up boring. Big Foe if he gets past Ben should be more fun, he ain't gonna fold like this.

That needs to be shortened somehow to become his vanity license plate.

agreed. Frances will bring some much needed energy and electricity to the match

At least. With Novak still around, and Charly ascending, US men aren’t going to win.

Edit: which American would have beaten Sinner last night? Any?

Frances Tiafoe is the only American that would have beaten Sinner last night. This is why I am hoping that Tiafoe takes care of business tonight. He's the only one on that half of the draw that can beat Djokovic. If Djere can win the first 2 sets against Djokovic, then Tiafoe has a chance, although he will need to play at the level he played against Rafa and Alcaraz last year.

In the press room, someone must ask Fritz: “What exactly did you and Michael Russell come up with as a game plan today? Or did that conversation not even occur?“

"Muscles" Russell? I didn't realize Taylor's coach was that guy w/ the cut-off sleeved tees!

This will be match point:

Don,
I could not take any more of this match, I am re- watching a womens match Rybakina v Cirstea, great match, I am just SB Novaks match at present, hopefully Ben will have a good match up against Frances later

Taylor’s girlfriend can “insta” it.

I actually want to see Ben Shelton win today. He might not beat Djokovic, but I am very curious on how the young American will play against Djokovic.

It will definitely be better than what is Fritz producing right now!

No. PE ..Sinner would have blasted Foe off the court IMO..Sasha Zverev was committed to keeping Jannik penned to the baseline..they ran each other's junk into the concrete last night.. Foe takes too many mental breaks during the match which you CAN'T vs Novak! Trust me both players especially Sinner is feeling what Clubber Lane predicted before his fight vs Rocky Balboa...PAIN

What a dumbass selection of shots at 15-40 by Fritz

 

[the AntiPusher]

And he pays dearly for taking that one point off mentally

He is 0-7 against Novak for a reason. Novak’s biggest opponent is the heat and humidity, certainly not the sunken eyed Californian.

I agree. Fritiz or Tiafoe. Shelton might still be a little green, but I think it would be fantastic for him. He’s the only one of the Americans I see with potential to upset Novak.

What a dumbass selection of shots at 15-40 no by Fritz

And Dorothy asked Taylor, what do you want most?
