US Open [Men], 2022 - Grand Slam

[Hailz]

There are some interesting 3rd round matches:

Ruud vs. Paul
Shapo vs. Rublev
Murray vs Berrettini
Nakashima vs. Sinner

I think I am going to stick with the favorites with 3 of them except for Ruud. I am going with Paul over Ruud.

I’m hoping Ruud makes a move this tournament. He has had solid results, but he needs to start winning bigger tournaments and not put in a SF or Final appearance.

Tommy Paul is gonna be a tough opponent for him.

I've got my lucky shirt on for Rafa's match, but Fognini is a shadow of himself, AND when he beat Rafa here, years back, Rafa was a shadow himself in that year. So I'm not worried.

 

[Moxie]

Did they just say that Rafa has a 65% chance of winning this match?! Odds makers are idiots.

Why do you need your lucky shirt on then? lol!

Because I'm not taking any chances with this USO. Rafa is geriatric. Every little bit helps.

Ivashka defeats Hubi the 8th seed in 4 sets, there is a God after all

Rafa is down a break already.

Some vintage Fognini.

Lets see how long it lasts, he always gets up for Rafa matches

Doesn't Fabio usually have some sort of emotional collapse at some sort in his matches?

He is Italian we are all emotional

First set Fognini. Rafa way off the boil. Timing off. Find your way, Rafa!

See? I knew he would be a problem.

Early days

This set will determine a lot. If Rafa can soar back and get this set he will be fine.

Not the start of the match that I expected, RAFA is very rusty. Let’s go RAFA keep fighting!
