How is the weather forecast, will we see matches on the other courts today?

 

[John Dunbar]

shapovalov another false prophet. rublev is the real deal.

 

[Frankfurter]

Seems to be a bad strategy to be 5-2 in the lead lol.

 

[aronnov reborn]

Finally!! 2/10 on break points

Well does Denis get swept?

 

[Shadowhelper]

Federer said that the difference between normal and under the roof are minimal 🙊

LOL, obviously he's going to say that. What is he going to say, my best performance at the slam was because of the favorable indoor conditions?

Most players downplay the conditions following a win. Feds is the greatest indoor player of all time. Obviously he is going to play better indoors. 2012 wimbledon final, after they closed the roof, the power balance completely shifted and fed won that easy.

 

[Kensuke]

Shapo has had every opportunity in this match to capture at least a set or even the whole thing. He has yet to capitalize. Too much of a loose cannon today.

 

[oti]

Come on Shapo, give us another set!

[aronnov reborn]

Welp. What a disappointing performance from shapo

 

[Frankfurter]

Shapovalov is not gonna sleep well tonight.

 

[Kensuke]

It's over. Busta showed up in those tiebreaks every single time.

 

[Diprosalic]

Busta move

 

[oti]

Never trust a Canadian to get a job done.

The joke was that they're all the injured ones.

Only tears of Shapovalov fans.

If Querrey and Goffin lose their next matches, PCB is in the 8th WTF spot.

 

[sam777]

Nadal plays during the Arthur Ashe day session tomorrow, which is great as I can watch it. Fed is on the night session yet again, imo Thiem vs Del potro should have been on Arthur Ashe it is probably the most enticing 4th round tie tomorrow.

 

[clemenx]

Such a shame he was so unclutch.

 

[Diprosalic]

Let's not be too harsh to a 19 yo.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Shapovalov lost in straight sets? Too bad. At least he'll probably never have to qualify for a slam again.

Joke he had to qualify for this one and some shitty americans got a WC

French open does the same thing with french players, Australian open does the same thing with australian players, and Wimbledon mostly does the same thing with British players but over the past few years they have been opening up the wild cards to players from other countries. Don't know why you have a hate boner for american players.

Yeah, was just about to comment that. Of course the home crowds want to see as many countrymen/women as possible.

The crowd went wild for Shapo, i'm not sure anyone cared for the 120th ranked 23 year old american.

Shapo was incredible in the lead up tournament, it's the us open series after all.

 

[Diprosalic]

Wimby gave him a WC btw.

 

[Omzz]

Tough loss for Shapovalov, sure he'll bounce back

Sure, but I imagine countrymen/women would still get preference.

It's a valid criticism, though.

I get giving WC to young talents and business decisions (sharpova) but to 23 yo nobodies over one of the brightest young talents since Djoko/Murray that also put people in seats is weird to me.

It's not like there aren't quite a few canadians in nyc.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Schwartzman takes the first set!

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Nobody thwarts the Schwartz.

 

[Diprosalic]

Oti's girl Jule takes the second.

 

[oti]

Goerges is playing... well?
What?

 

[clemenx]

Maria taking another year long break after the set 😂😂

 

[Humidex]

A change clothes break?!

 

[Diprosalic]

Sharapova in trouble

 

[sam777]

A change clothes break?!

Players do this quite a lot at the end of a set, since they sweat quite a bit.

Now that's Goerges. Too bad she'll lose to Stephens though. I had such high hopes for Stephens. But, well...

 

[Diprosalic]

Change courts eurosport. We want masha

Stephens is #81 in the world, but has only played 9 tournaments in the past 12 months due to injuries. She's a lot better than her ranking.
