2017 US Open Semifinals: Nadal vs. Del Potro

[Moxie]

DP is one of the great injury tragedies of recent tennis. He was going to be the 5th Beatle.

 

[DarthFed]

Well yes. Technically top 500 player in the world is good

 

[kskate2]

No Darth. Biggest choke of Fed's career was losing to disco Tommy here

 

[DarthFed]

Based on what BB? Nothing I've seen

 

[Moxie]

Nearly done.

 

[Moxie]

Bad miss.

 

[DarthFed]

But top 15 is very far from great in an individual sport

 

[brokenshoelace]

I think any of the top 4 would rather play Tsonga or Berdych than DP, even now, any day of the week.

 

[DarthFed]

DP won't win another slam. Not to be harsh

 

[kskate2]

no. I don't suspect he will either Darth. Good result getting to the SF

 

[Moxie]

Nice finish.

 

[DarthFed]

Not sure I'd agree, depends on surface

 

[DarthFed]

Semifinal is never a good result for anyone good KS

 

[kskate2]

Well how much can he expect when his BH isn't firing at 100%

 

[Moxie]

Nadal cuffed that. Pffft.

 

[DarthFed]

This is his 2nd slam semi in 8 years. Berd has been to a slam final and 4 or 5 slam semis in that timeframe

 

[kskate2]

But Berd is a notorious choker. DP is better mentally than him no matter the # of slam SF's

 

[Moxie]

Rafa better serve this out or I'm going to get tense.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Yes, but nobody would ever think Berdych has a shot at winning against the elite in slams except that phase where Roger played like shit and couldn't handle him for some reason.

 

[DarthFed]

Even now Berd scares me more than DP
