Thiem is in great form on a HC slam Shocked

Nadal-Thiem seems like it will be a cracker

by BusterLfc Mon Sep 03, 2018 2:06 am

Federer was great in his last match too, seems like Federer-Djokovic in the QF could be a good one if they both go through, Djokovic was like 2015 against Gasquet Proud

it was a routine win for him

I still want Nadal-Del Porto & Cilic-Djokovic in the semi's, followed by a Djokovic-Nadal banger in the final

by BarrileteCosmico Mon Sep 03, 2018 2:42 am

Can't believe Delpo just broke. He was toying with Coric all night.

And the first set goes Delpo's way

Why didn't Coric just switch his cap rather than keep complaining about the gound? Thats where most of the sweat was dripping from

by BusterLfc Mon Sep 03, 2018 8:18 am

Del Porto has a good way to SF,Isner is next, if he potentially faces Nadal in the SF that match can go either way, remember how Del Porto pushed Nadal at Wimbledon recently, that match could've went either way, I know it's grass but still, and Nadal has to go through Thiem first who seems to be in great form, he obliterated Anderson in 3 sets.

Can't wait for Thiem-Nadal ffs

If Nadal continues to play like this he won't get through this version of Thiem, he needs to really raise his game if he wants to beat him. But I don't doubt he will raise his game, usually Nadal 2nd week at slam is totally different from Nadal 1st week at slam.

Let's hope Djokovic has another great match today tho Afro

It's going to be between Nadal, Del Potro and Đoković. Federer is too old to compete and will lose to Novak pretty easily, even in straight sets.

I'd love to see a final between Delpo and Novak though. I think Del Potro can win against Nadal but he got owned last time in the US Open final so that could be a mental block for him. He's lost too many to Nadal recently.

by BusterLfc Mon Sep 03, 2018 10:48 am

Yeah I hope Djokovic-Federer will be similiar to their Cincinatti match and that Djokovic goes through with ease.

If anyone can do it outside of Djokovic and Nadal, it's definitely Del Porto. Nole-Delpo would be a good final tbf. Cilic and Thiem could be surprises, but Thiem had to face Nadal so early..

by El Gunner Mon Sep 03, 2018 1:41 pm

I know US Open isn't his favourite hunting ground, and Nole and Rafa seem to be back to great form, but never count out mans. Molenation

by BarrileteCosmico Mon Sep 03, 2018 1:56 pm

Nadal destroyed Delpo in the US Open last year. He has no chance against him if he makes it to semis. It will be Nadal-Djoker imo

by BusterLfc Mon Sep 03, 2018 3:00 pm

Nadal-Djokovic would probably be one of the best finals we had in a long time. It would probably be another one of their classics. Their match at Wimbledon is without a doubt match of the year so far.

Can someone pm me where I can watch the matches online? Rolling Eyes

I don't have access to TV these days.

by BusterLfc Mon Sep 03, 2018 9:30 pm

GOATvak Clutchovic IMO. smoking

Thiem 6-0 vs Nadal in the first set Shocked

I said Nadal will have it hard vs Thiem in this form but he is getting completely destroyed now

I hope Thiem can be more consistent like this on non clay tournaments, he has massive potential

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Sep 05, 2018 2:39 am

Thiem just donuted Nadal! WTF!

by BusterLfc Wed Sep 05, 2018 2:43 am

Thiem is unplayable right now

by BusterLfc Wed Sep 05, 2018 2:43 am

What a *bleep* match so far

This is promising to be a cracking match

by BusterLfc Wed Sep 05, 2018 5:55 am

What a match, 5th set incoming. Proud

Thiem should have won the 3rd set also tbh, he really choked there.

by BusterLfc Wed Sep 05, 2018 7:05 am

One of the matches of the year. Del Potro-Nadal in the SF.

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Sep 05, 2018 12:20 pm

I'm upset I passed out, might need to catch it again on replay

also 5th sets should not be decided by tiebreakers

by El Gunner Wed Sep 05, 2018 12:37 pm

So you want them to play on games like forever like they do in Wimbledon?? disgusting

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Sep 05, 2018 12:49 pm

Yeah. The Olympics match that went to something like 19-17 between Fed and Delpo is one of he most epic I've ever seen. Only reason it doesn't happen is corporate greed.

Del Potro in the final. Nadal retired due to injury.

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Sep 08, 2018 12:43 am

Great 1st set. Shitty 2nd one, felt like watching a wounded gazelle.

Nole seems to be playing with Kei now...

by danyjr Sat Sep 08, 2018 12:48 am

Yeah first set was great although Del Potro choked on a few set points before the tie breaker. Glad he dispatched the grunting Spaniard though.

Delpo vs Nole final me thinks. It'll be a good match up.

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Sep 08, 2018 12:51 am

Yeah when he choked the 5-4 I thought he was done for sure

by BusterLfc Sat Sep 08, 2018 3:43 am

Djokovic beats Nishikori 3-0 and goes to final with Del Potro. I think that match point summed up the match, Djokovic is just on another level right now, he won his last 4 matches with 3-0. Delpo-Nole should be an entertaining final, Delpo is in great form as well. Thumbs up
