US Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

Nice! 2nd set to the Italian.

We needed that lol!

I have a feeling both players will have a kit change.

Also, whomever wins the 3rd set will more than likely wins the match.

I do expect the 3rd set to be a long one (50 minutes to 1 hour) as both players will try to grab the critical 3rd set.

Lets serve it out Jannik, your 1st serve percentage is still below 50% which is sub par at this level
Your have been far from your best tonight

He did serve it out, and even the match, but I agree he is far from his best. Serving sub-par and fighting with Zverev from the baseline cannot possibly be the game plan. Take the momentum, Jannik, and run with it! Forza, dai!

I wonder if Charly is watching this match, or fast asleep, my guess he is watching, I read he reads all the score of tennis matches

It is all about Sinner's serve during crucial/tight moments. I am not too worried about Sinner's return of serve because he is a great returner overall.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Wow, back to back easy holds from Sinner and Zverev to start the 3rd set! I did not see that coming...

 

[rafanoy1992]

Here's a half-chance, 0-30, go for the break!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Move your feet Jannik you had 15-30? now 30 all

Zed w/ sone clutch serves saves his serve

 

[rafanoy1992]

A couple of great serves from Zverev and UFEs from Sinner and it is 2-1 in the 3rd set.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik is grimacing on his left leg, he had treatment on it before

He said he'd watch. He reckoned it should be a good match, and he is right.

Frankly I dont think it is a good match, Jannik isnt playing his best,

 

[rafanoy1992]

More than likely Sinner is probably tight or cramping due to the humidity.

Two CLUTCH serves from Sinner to save 2 BPs!

 

[Moxie]

OMG, Cramps?? Good for him to serve the aces now.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik cant push off on his left calf now maybe it is a cramp?

 

[rafanoy1992]

I am curious to see on how Sinner will fare now. Needs to hold right now...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik saving 4 BPs he has had a good test so far in saving BPs

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good tough hold Jannik Forza!
Darren Cahill offering words of encouragement !

 

[rafanoy1992]

It is why I really really wish he can serve like THAT throughout the match! Just imagine if he can serve like that 65% of the match...
