Wawrinka is in full energy saving mode. A gentleman will walk but never run... I'm a legal animal, I'm a Stanimal in New York...

 

[Deleted member 231381]

By "full energy saving mode", you mean "ordinary Wawrinka underperformance", right?

 

[Chumpion]

It was clearly intentional. Or maybe he's trying to steal the Kokkmeister's mojo by imitating a koala bear.

 

[Nemo]

I have a feeling Murray Kyrgios is gonna be really entertaining

 

[Simply Sami]

Did Courier just say Hewitt was the opposite of Krygios?

Hewitt was a big idiot too.

 

[Ricker]

Mellow Boris...

 

[Niraj]

This guy is such a character

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Bernie vs Dzhumur is high art right now.

 

[Nemo]

Ok gotta give props for that forehand

 

[Ricker]

Lol,well it was 40 0 so why the hell not

 

[Simply Sami]

Krygios has started well.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

"This is a guy that wears NBA jerseys on his off days so this shouldn't bother him."

 

[Simply Sami]

Brilliant point.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Fun match.

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

"This is a guy that wears NBA jerseys on his off days so this shouldn't bother him."

yeh i loved how they changed subject to avert that controversy.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

One day, Murray will fix his second serve. That year, he will win the CYGS.

 

[Niraj]

That was a nice catch lol

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Harrison just lost the first set to Rajeev Ram. In 2015.

 

[Kotetsu534]

Murray's reaction time on that 2nd serve return was unreal. Can't teach that.

 

[Kensuke]

Kyrgios just can't deal with Murray.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

God, did Kygrios bang McEnroe's daughter and not apologize? Brah will not let up.

 

[Omzz]

Kygrios...chill man

 

[Kotetsu534]

I loved the close up on Lleyton Hewitt's face. It had "What the fuck, in god's name, is he doing?" written all over it.

 

[Ricker]

What a number that guy...some of his antics are costing him points though...

 

[Kifimbo]

God, did Kygrios bang McEnroe's daughter and not apologize? Brah will not let up.

Wasted talent deserves that treatment.

 

[Omzz]

Kyrgios lookin like he doesnt give a fuck. That haircut gonna flatline soon

 

[Diamond]

If Kyrgios manages to channel his crazyness I think it's obvious he's gonna win slams. The future will tell if he really wants to.
Murray looking really good though, like he has during the last four months, not a lot of players are a threat to him when he's in this form.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Rajeev Ram even moves like a relic from the 90's.

 

[Niraj]

This is really a pathetic game after that break

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Murray too experienced for Kyrgios. I'm interested in Hewitt v Tomic soon.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Lol seriously? Fucking hell, Murray.

 

[Niraj]

Wow, surprise there.

 

[Nemo]

Choked it away those last two points

 

[Deleted member 231381]

A little surprised, but Kyrgios is playing really well by his standards and Murray is... still in second gear. I doubt this is going anywhere.

 

[Niraj]

He's crazy.

 

[TheAutomator]

lol Fognini was 1 for 15 in his latest hardcourt matches, and he beats Steve Jonson in 4 sets. Steve Johnson sums up US mens tennis pretty well. Also, the only American man to win today was Mardy Fish, and he's retiring after the tournament lol.

Mardy Fish. What a player.

 

[Niraj]

....unreal

 

[MIMIC]

Nick won a set?! xD

 

[Smellycat]

Nick won a set?! xD

He had chances in the first 1st set too, and a couple of chances in the second to get back on serve, but Murray was too tough.

 

[FrigidEh]

What goes through Kyrgios' mind on some of these points...

 

[MIMIC]

He had chances in the first 1st set too, and a couple of chances in the second to get back on serve, but Murray was too tough.

I was out and watched the first two sets on my phone....with the sorry ass ESPN app. I just couldn't take it anymore. I thought the U.S. Open had their own stream >_<

 

[Niraj]

That was a pretty poor set.

 

[Kotetsu534]

Kurumi Nara is running Alize Cornet into the ground. Cornet's lost three games from 40-0 up in the deciding set and is now suffering from cramps after all the long rallies (I mean, long, gruelling side to side slugfests), and has to break to stay in the tournament.

 

[Kotetsu534]

And Nara does it. Here's a list of all the men's and women's seeds who've been knocked out in round 1:

Men's (3):

(4) Kei Nishikori
(11) Gilles Simon
(16) Gael Monfils

Women's (10):

(6) Lucie Safarova
(7) Ana Ivanovic
(8) Karolina Pliskova
(10) Carla Suarez Navarro
(14) Timea Bacsinszky
(21) Jelena Jankovic
(27) Alize Cornet
(28) Irina-Camelia Begu
(29) Sloane Stephens
(30) Svetlana Kuznetsova

Didn't count Sharapova as she withdrew, and Kvitova is still to finish her match.

 

[Nemo]

What the hell, Kei is out? Damn

 

[RedAssedApe]

is donald young even 6ft? pam shriver looks like a giant next to him. assuming she was wearing heels...

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Ryan Harrison is just absolutely awful. He was standing at the wall hitting moonballs that were consistently landing at the service line. How does he think that is a winning strategy? Nishioka is the greatest crafter of the court I've ever seen though.

 

[RedAssedApe]

that fognini/hawkeye mishap lol

now i know why roger doesn't trust hawkeye

 

[Ricker]

Keys cruising right now,she almost has Smitkova going down almost touching the ground every other point trying to return her shots.

 

[Niraj]

Another women's seed out, Pavlyuchenkova.

Seems like Mardy is doing well, great to see that.
