US Open 2018, Flushing Meadows, NY USA - Grand Slam (Men)

[atttomole]

One would think Roger is running out of ideas.

 

[Moxie]

Roger looks pissed and stubborn.

2 out of 20

He hasn't changed anything though. Awful net play, and poor drop shots.

 

[atttomole]

The Millman is having fun.

 

[El Dude]

2 for 20. That's 10%.

 

[DarthFed]

3 straight in, we are up to 5 of 23 this game, WOO!

 

[El Dude]

Two 1st serves in a row.

 

[Fiero425]

2 for 20. That's 10%.

He'll rue the day if he didn't break with all those chances! He's done! :whistle:

 

[DarthFed]

And he holds. Man if you can't break when a guy serves like that, it's really sad.

 

[El Dude]

Darth, your feed must be quicker than mine.

No its not, not when that guy is Federer.

 

[DarthFed]

Two 1st serves in a row.

I think he ended with 4 in a row for 6/24 which is 25%

 

[atttomole]

Not typical of Roger to serve a single game for 14 minutes.

Sorry, I will stop posting so quickly.

To be fair to Roger, I think he's doing exactly what he should be doing: Not giving up on what he does, trying to get his form back without changing anything drastic. This match is essentially a "gimme," so the point is to hone his form, not to mess with his game plan before facing Novak.

I was in the middle of a point and had to change the tense of my statement from present to the past! :whistle:

I disagree, on top of the serve being gone Roger missed a bunch of easy volleys too. Milliman missed a lot of makable returns on 2nd serve BP's

 

[El Dude]

Haha, no worries at all. I was happy to know he held.

At age 37 and in this heat even Millman isn't a given. I do like that Roger has stayed aggressive and that was also the case in Cincy. The problem is the execution and sometimes questionable decision making.
