Zverev has been really solid and Roger has been flat. Maybe he'll serve better in the second.

Oti's boy getting roasted tonight.

You were saying, Schwitzermann?

how did federer lose that point

 

[Niraj]

Should have put that smash away

 

[clemenx]

Zverev looking good.

Hopefully goes to 3. Other than the Nadal game tourney has been bland.

You gonna buy me a Switch if Zverev wins.

 

[clemenx]

Is it me or Fed looks very stiff.

 

[Diprosalic]

You gonna buy me a Switch if Zverev wins.

Why would you want one? No games.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Why would you want one? No games.

Fed isn't showing much game today either

 

[John Dunbar]

old man's back has gone. dream is over, fellas. but it was a beautiful one.

 

[Omzz]

He's never coming back to Montreal again

 

[Niraj]

Something def off with Fed, this is over

 

[Diprosalic]

Not like this

 

[zero_suit]

Something def off with Fed, this is over

Everybody's getting injured this year, huh?

Spoiler

Pray for Rafa.

 

[clemenx]

He isn't moving well at all. Full rigidness.

Hopefully it's nothing serious.

 

[Ricker]

He is probably hurt but trying anyway...his servs are like ,20 km/h slower then usual...or like we say in French,he caught a shot of old this week...

 

[Kensuke]

This sucks. Definitely not playing Cincinnati either like this. There goes #1. Hopefully he at least recovers before the US Open. Man, this year is slowly starting to suck. Almost all the top players are injured.

 

[John Dunbar]

rigor mortis kicking in. he has actually been dead this whole time.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If Fed is injured then Zverev may be the favorite to win this years US Open. Who else could beat him at this point?

 

[Sax Russel]

Yeesh he's not bending at all.

 

[Diprosalic]

If Fed is injured then Zverev may be the favorite to win this years US Open. Who else could beat him at this point?

Cilic

 

[oti]

Dustin Brown.

apparently pretty much anyone since he is yet to make it past the fourth round in a slam.

 

[Deadman]

Hopefully it's just a minor thing. At least he closed the gap in the points race.

 

[oti]

WO IST MEINE SWITCH

 

[Niraj]

Hope it's nothing serious. Congrats to Zverev.

 

[Diprosalic]

Skip Cincy.
Fuck no.1

He'll get it anyway if he does well at the uso.

#Bel20ve

 

[Niraj]

Nishikori is out of Cincinnati. Fed said he's traveling there tonight and will decide on whether to play in a few days.

 

[AoM]

Good win for Zverev.

Given that Federer's won two more GS, I don't really care if he doesn't win any more titles.

But obviously another US Open would be nice.

 

[mcfrank]

Skip Cincy.
Fuck no.1

He'll get it anyway if he does well at the uso.

#Bel20ve

This seems the prudent course of action. Plus, there is no difference between being seeded 1 and 2 in a tennis tournament, so he doesn't need to push to be #1before the uso.

 

[Niraj]

Hearing Fed withdrew from Cincinnati (back)

 

[Bryan1321]

Hearing Fed withdrew from Cincinnati (back)

Made an offical statement.

It's the best option

 

[Niraj]

Yeah, hopefully he'll be good to go for the USO.

Also glad I didn't end up buying Cincinnati QF tickets earlier this year considering how many players have dropped out

 

[RedAssedApe]

old man snake showing he's human

 

[Diamond]

When a good part of the top players are over 30yo, it's inevitable you'll get more and more injury breaks. This US Open is shaping up to be a strange slam, very curious to see what will happen.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Not that he's too much of a threat but just to add to the withdrawal pile, Gael Monfils also pulled out of Cinci.

 

[Diprosalic]

What if i told you last year that Nadal is the only one left standing in the fall of 2017.

 

[LuuKyK]

US OPEN gave Maria a MD WC.

I hope she is fit to at least play one round.

 

[John Dunbar]

ferrer managed to continue his impressive streak against federer, so it will be interesting to see if gasquet can do the same against nadal. still needs two more to catch up with the spaniard, though.

Personne ne bat Gasquet quinze fois d'affilée !

 

[perfectchaos007]

Nishikori is out for the rest of the year

 

[Milchmann]

ATP should just cancel the rest of the season after the US Open.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Kerber loses her 2nd round match in Cinci. The only reason she gets past the first round these days is thanks to 1st round byes

 

[John Dunbar]

i wonder if that failed smash will cost tiafoe the match. zverev not playing well though.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Tiafoe just beat Zverev in 3 sets. Zverev era cancelled, Tiafoe era begins!


edit: to be fair to Zverev he's coming off 2 straight tournament victories. Now he can rest fully to prepare to make his first deep run in a slam.

 

[John Dunbar]

wouldn't be surprised if zverev fails before the quaters at the us open. he has won a bunch of titles lately and might be somewhat tired, but not yet been that impressed by his overall play.

The Kerbs just taking a pause after last year. All according to Planungsvorbereitungsgedankengang.

Tiafoe beat Zverev? That's just... wrong. But why did Zverev play anyway right before the US Open to begin with?

It's a masters 1000 event. All players have to play it. Next week is an ATP 250 event that most top players skip to train/rest for the US Open.
Huh, so Alex Zverev shares a birthday with Hitler. I didn't know that until just now when I saw his birthday. Thats rather unfortunate

Ah yes, they have to. He could've just use some excuse though, right?
