2017 US Open - Flushing Meadows, New York (8/28/2017 - 9/10/2017)

I thought it was an interesting match as how Anderson competed, and fought off break points.

He was in trouble a lot, but delayed getting broken.

Did they have a post match segment with Nadal in the studio? Usually after every major Finals, they bring the winner into the studio.

But I only saw a bunch of NFL stuff on SportsCenter.

Anderson started to miss a lot of first serves in the 2nd set.

I agree that Anderson's first serve helped him in the first set.

he was missing quite a lot in the first set too. he would have needed to serve like a beast to win. for a guy who's @6'7" you think he could have served at a higher percentage.

 

[nuraman00]

I agree. I would rather go to an early round and see a bunch of matches and players than have an assigned seat in Ashe to see one match that may not be great.

I think she paid a good amount for the tickets too.

I would have to know the matchup beforehand, for the Finals.

Last year's Djokovic vs. Wawrinka was one I thought about going, but the flights were $900+.

It would have to be a match like that, for me.

ESPN didn't even give the women's match any kind of attention because it was a college football day. Total BS

she is a big time Federer fan, so she was banking on him making it to the final and winning another major. She bought the tickets waaaaaaay back in May or something.

I knew this would be a short match when I saw the difficulty Anderson had holding serve in his first 2 service games

Yeah the only finals I would have consider going to at this moment must include 2 of the following players:

Fed, Rafa, Murray, Novak, or Stan. You're usually going to see at least a 4 set match if you get any of those 2 players facing each other on a hard court.

Rafael Nadal VS Kevin Anderson | Match Stats | ATP World Tour | Tennis

This was the best I could find for match stats.

I wish I could find a set by set breakdown of the serve %.

I wanted to see what the splits were for each set.

They at least had Sloane in the studio after the match. I watched that.

What state does she live in?

MD

so she went and made a weekend of it and drove up

I still would have picked a different weekend. Maybe Labor Day weekend or something.

friend of mine went to the final yesteday. She said it was not a good match. Felt like a first round match. I am kind of glad I didn't watch it. I saw some of the best matches of the tournament, so I am happy.

Never expected the men's slams to be won by Roger and Rafa this year. So weird.

Nothing to watch in the final. Much better to watch a lamb. Wing slaughtered at the meat shop. Quicker too. Also recommended is watching a Lion take down a Girrafe on Animal Planet. Or in Thirty Days and Thirty Nights you can watch that scene where the Vampire leader stoops down and says "there is no God" before the kill.

Mummy Face Murray better be there in the next slam to get his ass whooped by some nobody!

He's lost in 5 AO Finals. I'm sure he wants to finally get that one.

But they're not good enough.

What happened to Dmitrov, Jack Sock, Alexander Zverev?

Raonic is a veteran now at 26 years old.

Coco Vandeweghe is a veteran to me too. She's been a full time pro for 8 years.

Good post.

 

[nuraman00]

I wonder if Tsonga gets back to a major SF next year.

Or if Cilic can make a run at the AO again.

 

[nuraman00]

I'll root for Tiafoe though. He's fun.
