US Open Day 6: Saturday, August 30

[Correspondent Kiu]

The Young Aussie breaks early in the second set, he had break points.
Then he fires 4 bullets. That game took half a minute.

5-2 can big nick scrape another game..

big stage..big serve, big collapse..go back to aussie and go all big Wednesday on the beach. big comeback, big goose.

I see he said the US Open was his favourite slam. The Aussies will be thrilled.

he said that ? :snigger yes..that sort of chatter won't go down to well back home in aussie.

This is incredible stuff. Winner after winner. Wow.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

He is in a zone. He likes this party.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

2 shanked in/out slice chip fh went wrong lol.

 

[Front242]

Big hold from 0-40 for Robredo.

 

[Front242]

Nice winner by Robredo there.

 

[Front242]

LOL, some 2nd serve ace!

 

[Front242]

2-2 now with that sloppy game from Kyrgios. Could've easily been 3-0 though.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

nick is threatening to go all sweary and rude.

 

[Front242]

Another unreal winner.

 

[Front242]

Drop shot attempt from miles behind the baseline? :nono

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

nick is losing the plot..and his serve.

 

[Front242]

Gutsy 2nd serve ace seals the set for Robredo. As I said earlier, I hope Kyrgios wins but suspect the frustration is already getting to him and Robredo will win.

Kyrgios is a novelty, until the old players figure him out.
His serve is huge and so is his forehand, but BH, nah.
I have seen him in Toronto, he was not impressive at all.

Different week, different tournament. Novak wasn't impressive at all there either Personally I think Kyrgios is the real deal but needs to calm himself down a lot when he starts playing badly or his opponents start playing better. Roger was an unfocused brat at his age too and look what calming himself down did there.

 

[Front242]

Case in point, Kyrgios was up 2-0 and had 0-40 on Robredo's serve for 3-0. Made a bit of a mess of that 2nd set by allowing himself to lose focus, get agitated and his serve and game went to pieces.

 

[Front242]

So much for the bad backhand there.

 

[Front242]

Nice touch. Kyrgios just said thank you to the ball kid there.

 

[nehmeth]

Is anyone helping Kyrgios learn how to use his "tennis brain"?? Some of the choices he makes out there are down right stupid. :nono
