Bloody hell Cilic. Couldn't you have just let Tsonga through.

 

[Diprosalic]

i was sure he would lose easily but bageled. jeez

 

[zero_suit]

Shameful

 

[VistraNorrez]

Everyone should be embarrassed that they let Cilic win the US Open last year.

 

[Sax Russel]

Great performance from defending champion Marin Cilic.

.

 

[oti]

you're supposed to take out Novak, remember your training Marin!

 

[MIMIC]

I hate seeing Marin destroyed But on the other hand, it's Novak doing it. I'm so conflicted! lol

 

[John Dunbar]

if you want to look for positives in this nightmare, maybe this joke of a semi won't be enough for djokovic to carry his form into the final.

it's a fool's hope, though. that trophy is going to sarajevo or wherever he keep his hoarded gold.

Mugrin Flukic exposing his overratedness.

 

[sam777]

Cilic isn't going to win so I don't give a shit anymore, I hope Djokovic makes this a quick match so I can watch a bit of the other semi final.

 

[IISANDERII]

I hope this puts to rest the talks of Serena being GOAT. Evert, Navratilova, Graf, Court would have never lost that match.

Even if she won this tournament, she still wouldn't be 🐐 GOAT. An incredibly gifted player for sure, one of The greatest.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Just saw the Serena result, lol.

Don't know if she can be the clear cut GOAT with a result that atrocious. Then again she will still most likely pass Steffi's and maybe even Court's major count so..

 

[SSPssp]

NOOOOOO. Now this is just a bad match instead of a possible shutout masterpiece. Going to stop watching.

Even if he starts slow, it's much harder to beat Djoker in best of five on HC versus a typical masters tourney.

lol

He was on an absolute tear last year. There was nothing overrated about it.

nah

beat Olderer olding and then Kei 'can't play three consecutive matches' Nishikori

 

[oti]

So since this is horrible should I buy Star Trek on PC it's really cheap and a buddy and I want to play a couch coop game and there are so few of those on PC but I've heard it's a bad game so what to do?

 

[zero_suit]

nah

Olderer got severely outplayed. He was never in that match.

Is this the one that was in the Humble Bundle?

 

[greenleaves]

Last year Cilic was painting the lines with every serve. This year he's nowhere close to that.

 

[oti]

Is this the one that was in the Humble Bundle?

I guess so. Wanted to get the bundle but forgot about it.

 

[SSPssp]

I guess so. Wanted to get the bundle but forgot about it.

Yeah, I also haven't heard any good things about it, so I would skip it if you can restrain yourself.

 

[Good Job Bob]

It seemed like everyone was ready to coronate her after this one. Tons of celebs were gonna be there, Graf was gonna be there, etc.

It's too bad because I wanted to see the spectacle of it all.

 

[MIMIC]

nah

beat Olderer olding and then Kei 'can't play three consecutive matches' Nishikori

That is the lamest excuse ever.

Both of his opponents were playing exceptionally well. Cilic deserves full credit.

Did you see how he served out both of those matches? Almost 4 aces on each game

Next year (tying and passing Graf), not CYGS.

 

[Niraj]

Nobody was going to beat Cilic when he was playing like that last year, but Nishikori was playing on one foot. But it didn't matter, he peaked at the perfect time. Though I guess it's hard to say how he would have done against Djokovic...that 13-0 is kind of hard to ignore.

Right now he's too busy trying to calculate in his head how many points he's going to lose once the match is over to really give it a good go.

Only if you count singles, overall she's barely halfway to Court's all time record.

neither were. literally joking if you think us open final is an example of kei playing well. federer's ros was totally missing and kei was barely moving, it's not a surprise a decent server can get free aces off those two

if cilic had met djokovic he would have been destroyed, but kei did all the hard work

 

[Deadman]

It's crazy that being a drug cheat is not the worst thing he has done to tennis.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

What's sad is I genuinely believed in Cilic.

 

[Omzz]

Fuck off cilic

 

[oti]

jesus

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

This is completely sad. Like an SPCA commercial, except there is no Sarah McClaughlin music playing letting me know I need to change the channel.

Trying to decide which of these is funnier

The latter.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

I'm not a big Serena fan but seriously some of you are hating on her because of her attitude and acting like Graf was any nicer?

 

[zero_suit]

Wasn't Steffi viewed as an ice queen, like Evert?

 

[Machine Messiah]

A bagel and a breadstick, what could be finer?

You think Federer's ROS was what cost him the match? Did you even watch it? Cilic was pulling Federer left and right and absolute crushing the ball with every stroke. He did what del Potro did in 2009, but in 3 sets instead of 5.

But of course you have an excuse for that, too.

And just case anyone forgot, this is Novak's second bagel against Cilic this year. Novak is Cilic's Kryptonite.

 

[sam777]

Cilic has mentally gone.

 

[Omzz]

With these bagels and breadsticks cilic gonna have to skip dinner tonight

 

[Sax Russel]

Djokovic should play the 3rd set with a one handed backhand and a two handed forehand, just for the lulz.

 

[John Dunbar]

this would have been embarrassing for a round one match. and i thought cilic would at least do better than tsonga would have.

 

[Niraj]

Is this the worst beatdown a defending champion has gotten in the same slam the following year?

 

[Nemo]

This is just brutal now

 

[John Dunbar]

cilic had like 3 winners to 16 unforced errors in the second, so it's not like djokovic even has to do anything special out there.

 

[Chumpion]

I'm getting flashbacks of Srebrenica over here.

but del potro's us open win wasn't actually a very good one. You know I'm not exactly a federer fan, and i really like del potro, but he didn't really deserve to win that one and it wasn't a quality final, they took consecutive turns choking to each other and the UE count was super high. del potro played *much* better matches that year.

 

[Kensuke]

Cilic is basically beating himself. He can't hit a winner no matter what. Djokovic's defense is amazing of course, but when Cilic does try something it's an UE. Blegh.
