US Open 2025 [Men] - Grand Slam

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak making too many errors at the moment, 9 ufe errors at present
Personally he has to win this match in 3 or 4, Carlos is too physical if this match went 5 sets
Novak box telling him your arent reading his serve as yet?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW Carlos hair is nearly as long as Novak's, I have never seen anyone who can grow back their hair so quick in a week or so

Profundities from the BBC honcho tennis reporter. Dan Maskill is beating his fists off the coffin lid..

I cant take Jim Courier any longer, never liked him as a commentator, we have to put up with him at the AO for many years, I muting him, his biased towards players over rides his ability to look fairly at a match.

no it is not. it's great to practice, but it's better to practice in match setting to, say when you are down on your opponents serve and can throw in a impulsive shot or two.

It’s such a banal truism for him to say “but the match court isn’t the practice court, eh?” It’s a sign of decline in commentary from the days when commentaries actually said something..

First set in the bag. Call on the trainer! Toilet breaks. Phone calls to his mama. Satellites crashing to earth and landing on the baseline. Whatever the man needs!

Actually Novak starting to play better even in Carlos last service game when he won the 1st set 64, still has to cut down on ufe which he made in the 1st set

 

[Kieran]

Carlos needs to stay on top of him. If he wins this set, there’s no way Novak is winning this match. In Oz, Carlos backed off and waited for his opponent to lose.

He lost, instead..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Carlos with 4 ufe in his service game and is broken

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak has won 12 of the last 16 points played in this 2nd set
Novak with a love hold and consolidates and leads 3-0

It’s day one in school, FFS. What a start to the second set

Carlos is human too, remember

And your point is?

It is early days in this SF, I would not be getting too worried regarding Carlos, he can turn a switch and be 'on'

He won a close set and turned the off switch. Puking up his serve as a gift to Djoker is not clever…

Not it is not clever, Carlos has a BP now, he has great instincts

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I still dont think Novak is that confident on his bhand wing,
Carlos breaks back on a 2nd serve from Novak
Back on serve, Carlos to serve at 2-3
Back on serve 3 all, with a sneaky drop shot from Carlos to win the last point

 

[Kieran]

Not it is not clever, Carlos has a BP now, he has great instincts

He has, but sometimes he has too many instincts. When you put your foot on Novaks neck, you squeeze. You don’t give a break cos he’s lethal as sin…

Agree, back on serve now, Carlos placed a sneaky drop shot to finish the point
