Western & Southern Open, New York City, US - ATP Masters 1000

[Moxie]

Theim is getting a bit of a tennis lesson at the moment .

Are you watching? It's not my TV.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It's not on my TV, but Thiem is in some serious trouble v. Krajinovic. I'm not surprised if it was a difficult match, but Thiem looked like he was ready to come into this USOpen swing as the really in-form player.

Theim over plays tennis tournaments to me.

I am watching Novak,but I got a stream for Theim's match though it is not good,it comes and goes

 

[Moxie]

Commentators saying that Novak is rubbing his neck on the change-overs, which is why he bailed on doubles.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak looks pale to me,needs some time in the sun,with sunscreen of course

That's old news. In this pandemic shut-down, there was no such thing as over-playing. I would argue that he just played enough to stay sharp. I expected Krajinovic to be a test, but not a deal breaker.

Oh, and now I hear that Berrettini is through the young Finn with all of the U's in his name.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Krajinovic will serve for the match against Theim 5-1

He's been sunbathing in his private house, according to the NYT. TB for the first set!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yes well done to Krajinovic who routs Theim 62 61!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it is not working lol!

 

[Moxie]

Thiem loses 2 and 1. That's a shocker.

 

[don_fabio]

What happened with Thiem? He was supposed to be most in-form guy and he went down winning only 3 games.

 

[Moxie]

Djokovic cringing a bit on his neck, but it doesn't help Berankis.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Thiem loses 2 and 1. That's a shocker.

Not in my book lol!

Not in my book lol!

I like Thiem, and he's my 2nd pick to win the USO, so spare me a moment, thank you. LOL!

He is my least favorite player on the tour....btw he played 28 exhibition matches across Europe when there was no proper tournaments?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak calls for the trainer

You're not alone in not liking him, but I really will never get that. I don't understand why he's so unlikeable. He has a great work ethic, commitment, and a really strong 1HBH. Please don't tell me it's about Serena.

I have never warm to him,I find him arrogant,I have always felt he over plays tennis tournaments and we have seen it has cost him in finals,where he needed his stamina.....last year's RG is a good example.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak is rusty getting broken twice so far in the 2nd set...won the 1st set 76(2)
Credit to Berankis he played well.....Novak wins 76(2) 64
