US Open [Men], 2021 - Grand Slam

[the AntiPusher]

Diego will now have to take the 'scenic route' and win in 5 sets,took the 3rd 75...he was down 2-4 in the 3rd set.

No pun intended but that's may prove to be a tall order for the diminutive Argentinian.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

He kind of reminds me of Andy Roddick

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Who calls their child Botic BTW lol! he is from The Netherlands

 

[bokun]

4th training session for Medvedev so far.
Don’t know if it’s positive or negative to reach a slam F without any challenging opponent?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Diego saves 2 MP to get to 5 all in the 4th...Phew

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Diego worked hard to win the 4th set 75...onto a 5th set.I have my money on Diego
With his new hair cut Diego looks about 15 I wish he would not wear his cap backwards....I blame Hewitt for it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This year at the USO it is all about 5 set matches and 18 year olds....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Diego it wasn't in the script to get broken in your first service game of the 5th set?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Can I retract my prediction that Diego would win the 5th set?
Botic will serve for the match 5-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The 11th seed Schwartzman,bites the dust,as Botic Van de Zandschlup wins in 5 sets 63 64 57 57 61.
A good effort from Botic he came through qualifers to reach the q/finals.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Medvedev wins in straight sets over Dan Evan., 63 64 63
Medvedev will play Botic in the q/finals

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

4th training session for Medvedev so far.

I dont think any of the Top 4 had hard draws say to the q.finals,well we did not expect The Young Greek to go out to a 18 year old,.
I think every player would like to spend less time on court in the 1st week,before things get tougher in the business end of a slam,
A draw is only on paper to begin with,upsets can happen,as we have already seen.Personally I would prefer to face a tougher opponent,before a s/final.

 

[kskate2]

No offence who the hell is Van de Zandschulp?

None taken. A qualifier who just got his largest payday ever dismissing Shortman.

 

[kskate2]

He kind of reminds me of Andy Roddick

Don't be so mean MM. No one should remind you of the greatest tennis player named Andy from these United States.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

this botox van der landslip bloke is like that aslan russian player from the ao..
never in top100 but now in qf of a major, though botox is 25 and aslan was/is 27.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Baby Rafa is knocking the yellow off the ball and still loosing to that qualified monster from Germany

 

[Moxie]

Gojo wins the 2nd, but Alcaraz is still fighting him. Broke back in the 4th. Tiafoe comes out hotter v. FAA, and has the earlier break.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What is with these qualifer's at this years USO? Gojo might join Botox as JLB has nicknamed him in the next rd.

I do always think about how we dismiss qualifiers out of hand, when they are generically listed on a draw. But they are the ones who get in early, get used to the conditions, and get some match wins and confidence under their belts. Gojo's is a name we know, even if he hasn't made much noise for a while. It's the 18-year-olds that are really blowing up my skirt, though, I have to say.

I also have not heard from Gojo for sometime either,agree going through qualifers they do have match fitness under their belts
