US Open - Day 8 - Discussion (Men)

[Carol]

Some day you should think about coming back from Wonderland, Narnia or whatever alternate world you reside in :cover

I live in the real life and that's why I said what I said or are you going to tell me now that Isner played a brillant match? really? then who lives in Wondeland? come on!

uhm, he even highlighted therelevant part: you said that if Isner would have played just a little better he would have beat Fed. this is simply ridiculous. with Isner, matches should always come down to a couple of points, so yeah, we saw two tbs... but really, this was rather close to him being dominated. yes, Fed didn't shine throughout, but he came through when it mattered (even if it meant having to return a 140 mph serve), and rather handily at that.

It's true, Isner played superb, best returns, best half volleys, best movements, I was surprised with his loss ......:exclamation:.......

Carol, you cannot judge Isner using big four, or even big four plus second tier, standards. You have to judge him against his own standards. And with this in mind he played quite well. He has already beaten Djokovic, for example, playing exactly like this. I agree with you, it is ugly...

But, to be fair, he has a good ROS, IMO. The next shot is the problem, and the next, and the next, and the next...

His volley sucks generally. Karlovic has much better volley.
