US Open - Day 3 - Discussion (Men)

[tented]

Well, yes, the No. 17 seed losing to a guy ranked 56 would be an upset.

 

[herios]

A quick update on Grigor, he is down 0-2 sets with Kukushkin.

What? :huh: Are you watching? If so, what's going on?

No, not watching. Just came home from work, browsed the results and checked the board and saw everybody here glued to Rafa's match, so I felt an update on Grigor would be welcomed.

Nabaldianesque backhand by the little one. Good viewing. I don't mind if schwartzman loses, I'm getting chips and beer for Nadal-Djokovic. That's going to be too good.

Don Diego gets the first break.

LOL, that's about as exciting as the Serena fans who look forward to her playing Maria.

I'm glad you're making the comparison. I think it will get a whole lot uglier than that though.

I'm just giving you crap. I honestly have no idea how Dimitrov is still ranked in the top 20. It seems like he hasn't gone deep in any tournament since 2014 Wimbledon.

urgh, rafa/wafa just got broken my mr mini-man from the andies.

OK, I was exaggerating for effect; you're not.

[Denis]

The schwartzman cc backhand is sweet!

Yes, that's the last GS he got beyond the R16. He's definitely not turning out to be the wunderkind some thought he was going to be.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

sir grigor can recover his rank,,he is a confused balloon at the minute.

 

[DarthFed]

Got to give Schwartzman props for even being good enough to reach the top 100. He's tiny and has zero serve, definitely not easy to make up for that.

 

[dante1976]

Rafael is _______ (i dont even know what to put there ). Luckily for him frodo is even worse... If he gets to Novak (big if btw) there will be pastry all over him

True. For 5'7" (two inches shorter than Ferrer!) he's doing quite well.

 

[ftan]

i am in a meeting..so keep your commentary flowing

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I actually thought Rafa played much better than his recent past in his match against Coric. I thought he will win easily over Shortsman cool. But, it does not look like he is having easy time. I am not watching as I am at work. Hope to see tail end of it.

Make sure you can return the chips and beer and get your money back (as that match is unlikely to happen, IMO).

I think he's 5'7 in stripper heels. If he's 5'7 there's a certain part of my body that's 18 inches
