US Open [Men], 2021 - Grand Slam

[Moxie]

Fantastic kid, just love him. Commies say that he's the youngest to beat a #3 since Sampras? Brad Gilbert calls him "Escape from Alcatraz." Gilbert cracks me up.

To clarify, youngest to be a #3 at the US Open since Sampras.

 

[Moxie]

Surely, the upset of the tournament, thus far. Who can top it?

From Foxsports.com:

”Tsitsipas once again left the court at the start of the fourth set, but his absence was a swift one with both players leaving the Arthus Ashe Stadium and the Greek posting a personal best of 3 minutes 45 seconds in the bathroom.”

On another board, an "OP" asked which of the Big 3 does this kid's game remind you of? I said: "I would have said his mentor on first glance, but due to bigger serve, coming into net more, & timely drop shots, I have to agree that the kid's more like Nole! Very seasoned for 18! Nadal must be very proud of him!" Anybody?

‎I think it's better to hide from the public when you're changing than to pick your ass thousand times during a match in front of millions.‎

I'm sure for you is better to break the rackets and to throw the ball to the line umpire, then he is an "hero". Nah, I rather to see how a player pinching the pants than to go to the bathroom to see through the phone the coach instructions

 

[Carol]

Superb the Carlos' game, hope he can keep the same level on Sunday and of course the next week!

‎Nole is Тhe Hero any way you turn. We are not leaving him for one mistake or two. We are faithful to him. If you feel bad, complain about to somebody else.‎

 

[the AntiPusher]

I guess it not fair to name Carlos A "baby" Rafa ! ;-)

It'll happen eventually!

You are the one who was complaining so that was my answer

 

[Moxie]

Not just because upsets are trending, I do thinkTiafoe, who has been playing really well, does have a chance against Rublev.

‎Wrong. I did not complain, I just weighed in what is better.‎

Are you on medication? There's no part of this kid's game that resembles Novak (especially not an enhanced net game and definitely not timely droppers).

 

[kskate2]

I'm very happy the Kid dispatched TPK. See, like I said before, I don't know why he takes breaks and gets illegal coaching. It's not really helping him whatsoever.

I don't think so. I think Hair Dude is a bit too consistent for Big Foe.

But Big Foe just got the break. Stand by please, caller.

I didn't say it would be easy for Hair Guy, just that he would be more consistent.

BTW before I left after the Osaka match I read a interesting stat,

Carlos Alcaraz has more Top 10 wins in majors than Alexander Zverev....
