US Open SF: Medvedev vs. Auger-Aliassime

[tented]

What on earth is going on with Medvedev? He’s self-destructing.

But this is also the best I’ve seen FAA play.

Shot Medvedev..deuce

 

[kskate2]

deep return on SP and FAA can't handle the volley. deuce

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

FAA bad choice of shot?

 

[kskate2]

See what happens when he plays from the baseline? BP

 

[kskate2]

nervous point and FAA dumps serve. 5-4

 

[tented]

Wow! This will get Medvedev back on track. But @kskate2 is right about him staying too far back. On second serves, especially, he needs to move up to the baseline.

I'm about to be hoarse yelling at the TV. What are you doing. Are you imitating Nads who isn't even here?

 

[kskate2]

FAA looks deflated. Energy is really low.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Med is returning from the Jersey tunnel. I don't know why he's so far back.

It's almost impossible to take advantage of him with a service.

Yep

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

These DFs at crucial times in a match are going to kill FAA

I get that. He doesn't have to hug the baseline, but he could meet me halfway. I mean he's back so far he's kissing the wall.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Broken to love?...........dreadful service game from FAA

 

[tented]

FAA in complete meltdown now. He can’t stop thinking about those SPs.

 

[kskate2]

That game is a direct consequence of dumping his serve. He couldn't get out of his own way enough to hold and force a TB. There was still hope in this set.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Shot Medvedev down the line

There’s Novak arriving in his Kate Middleton sunglasses.

I hope the German cleans his clock
