US Open - Day 4 - Discussion (Men)

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

6-1, 3-0. Federer has won 100% of points on his 1st serve. :speechless:

 

[Kirijax]

Hewitt was match point down I believe but he comes back from 3-5 down and takes the 4th set. Into a 5th. Tomic thinking about his court date maybe.

 

[Kirijax]

It's getting to the point that if if I were a Fed fan I would be bitterly disappointed if he doesn't win the tournament. Just on fire since Cincy.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

yes Federer is playing excellent tennis.

 

[Carol]

My goodness, I've never seen Roger running so much and so fast but that could be two edged sword

 

[Carol]

And meanwhile Darcis playing horrible :cover

Hewitt - Tomic had a dramatic end to it. Rusty broke at 3-3 Bernie, went up 5-4 and was serving for the match, but Bernie broke back, while he hurt his leg. He played the next 2 games limping, but went up 6-5, then after treated by the doctor, he broke again and won.

Looks like Murray will survive. But a needless waste of energy it all I can think of.

No, no it is all needed. Only then he can get a whopping by Fed in SF with a scoreline of 6-2, 6-1, 6-0.

fedster wins 6-1, 6-2, 6-1. playing time was 1hr 20mins.

Fed is playing an extremely smart brand of tennis against a counterpuncher like Darcy..why on earth would anyone play this type of players different ly. Espn did a nice feature on Federer, how he has changed his overall tactics for equipment, coaching and etc. It's amazing how the former 1 player's mentality is to stay with his current team only voice, tactics and etc :nono, yet he feels that he us ranked #8 because of his confidence levels is where it needs to be. What a stubborn man, who most likely will get slaughtered by Djokovic

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Thank god that Dr. Evil lost. If not, we have to watch Karlovic vs. Isner match with about 200 aces in the match. :angel:

He's lucky that when guys get ahead of him they usually self destruct like total muppets. Will never forget the Cilic meltdown against him. Shameful.

Come on, every time a player you don't like is winning, you act like you've never watched tennis before. What happened in this match happens ALL the time and it's nothing new, unusual, or shameful. There's a reason someone like Mannarino never made any noise in slams. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to keep up that level of play when you're playing way above your usual standards against a vastly superior opponent? The mental and physical toll alone is enough to get you back down to earth quickly, and the moment that happens, someone with Murray's experience, wits and skill will pounce immediately. The moment the superior player comes back and wins set 3, it suddenly feels like he's the one who's up two sets to one.

This is similar to the same bafflement you express every time someone makes "unnecessary" unforced errors against Nadal (gee I wonder why they felt the need to go for too much). See Federer, Roger.

Speaking of whom, I'm willing to bet Roger has come back from two sets to love down way more than Murray has. That doesn't seem to bother you nor do you think his opponents are shameful. Julien Benetteau says hi.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Darcis is doing nothing, too easy for Roger

I can always count on Carol to tell me how bad Fed's opponent's played, and on Front to tell me how bad Nadal's opponent played.

It's predictably irritating at this point.
