Nice get there

 

[sam777]

Wtf is Novak moaning for he was doing it earlier for no reason as well.

 

[Niraj]

Damn, 138 mph

 

[oti]

No Novak, don't dare to disrespect AsderaGOAT.

 

[sam777]

Damn, 138 mph

Second serve as well lol

 

[Niraj]

Second serve as well lol

Yeah, that was unreal lol

 

[Brazil]

Shit's getting good.

 

[sam777]

Monfils unbelievably wins the 3rd set crazy match

 

[Niraj]

Things are more interesting now

 

[perfectchaos007]

So much clownery it's contagious

 

[Sax Russel]

This. Match.

 

[oti]

I bet some French undercover agent gave Novak GLUTEN to eat.

 

[Frankfurter]

Novak literally ripping his.shirt apart. This match has it all.

 

[The Last Wizard]

I'm so conflicted, Djokovic is my favorite player but I wanna see Monfils take a grand slam.

 

[Kensuke]

One of the worst matches I've ever seen. Both players look kinda injured. But even then Monfils gifted the first two sets, showing that the clowning stops being funny real quick when you bomb during a Slam semifinal. Then Djokovic sort of collapses, possibly after mentally checking out because he was sleepwalking through the match. I'm sure he's awake now and will end this travesty soon enough.

 

[Niraj]

Monfils strategically going down 0-40 and holding to break Djokovic's spirit. So courageous.

 

[Frankfurter]

Monfils back to clown-mode?

 

[sam777]

Did Monfils ask for Coke lol
Edit: Yep he did

 

[Kensuke]

These unforced errors, yikes.

 

[Niraj]

What a bizarre match

 

[sam777]

Both players are drained

 

[Kuros]

Even if this goes 5 sets it won't be any sort of classic.

Just crap.

 

[Kifimbo]

Both players are drained

I'm probably completely wrong, but it feels like Djokovic is faking this (being drained, not the shoulder).

You're not wrong my friend, there's a reason his nickname on the tour is the Faker.

 

[clemenx]

Seems like I'm missing the worst match ever.

 

[Kuros]

You're not wrong my friend, there's a reason his nickname on the tour is the Faker.

He'll be respected as a phenomenal player when he quits. He'll never be loved like Federer though and some of it is because of bullshit like this.

 

[oti]

Seems like I'm missing the worst match ever.

It's definitely something.

 

[John Dunbar]

shocked to see monfils got a set.

 

[Ricker]

With the humidex factor though its like over 100 F out there right now...not sure what Monfils was pulling in the first set but I dont think either of them are faking right now.

 

[Kensuke]

It's over, thank god. Tennis is dead.

 

[Ricker]

The Torture has ended lol

 

[oti]

Tennis este muerte.

What is this gesture Nole? You're making me uncomfortable.

 

[John Dunbar]

unfortunately tennis has relied on wawrinka once too often, so there is no saving it now. rip.

 

[sam777]

If Wawrinka makes it to the final I think he has a real shot tbh.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Is NY normally this warm in September?

 

[MIMIC]

Well that sure was something.

Just glad Novak is through. I don't ever want to even see that match again. Clowning, tanking, choking, sandbagging. Was truly the embodiment of a shitfest.

But I do think that the humidity contributed a lot to the physical problems near the end

 

[VistraNorrez]

Seems like I'm missing the worst match ever.

Weird is better way to describe it.

 

[Frankfurter]

Is the second SF coming up shortly? Thinking about watching a set, maybe two, but it's already past midnight here in Europe.

 

[Diamond]

It's a shame Gael can't transform some of his showman energy into mental toughness in this kind of match. If he keeps being serious like he has this year he'll have other shots at Slams I think. Not so sure about Novak's form. Could be tough against a good Stan or Kei in the final. But he'll be the favourite, as usual.

 

[Ricker]

Yep starting soon...

 

[Speevy]

It looks like Nishikori won't have his way with Stan on the return the way he did with Murray. It should be a tight match. At least I hope it is.

 

[Speevy]

Good job Kei.


I'm conflicted. I know Djokovic can beat Nishikori much easier than Stan, so I don't know who I want to win.

 

[Niraj]

Good job Kei.


I'm conflicted. I know Djokovic can beat Nishikori much easier than Stan, so I don't know who I want to win.

I think both could theoretically win, but Nishikori is more likely to be off. Idk.

 

[Speevy]

They should give Del Potro Monfils' ranking out of spite.

 

[Speevy]

Well damn. Nishikori is out for blood tonight. Step it up Stan.

 

[sam777]

Good job Kei.

Same here. Nishi breaks in the second.

 

[Frankfurter]

Nishikori playing damn good.

 

[John Dunbar]

early break in the second. now the only thing we can hope for is that nishikori wins easily so he will be fresh for the match that decides the fate of tennis as we know it.

 

[BlindCommunication]

Kei will regret it if he doesn't win this set, Wawrinka has been on the verge of breaking down on most serve games.

 

[Kensuke]

Kei has missed too many break points. If he loses this set I hope he can keep it together.
