US Open [Men] 2026 - Grand Slam

[don_fabio]

Thank god Alcaraz is back. I really lost interest in tennis last 2-3 months without him competing. So much charisma and the way he plays is just a pure joy to watch. No hate on Sinner, but..

 

[don_fabio]

wasn't able to watch the match. But it seems like Carlitos serve isn't dominant right now. But he's still getting the job done relatively comfortably?

It's true, but it seems to be getting better match by match. Today he showed all the weapons and it was smooth sailing for him.

lol! their dating life? Hasn't bothered others. Look at Safin!

heck, I think it helped Safin. Gave him someone to show out for. Besides he needed to win some slams so he could continue to finance his social life.

Big Foe is on fire against Daniil.

None of the above, from AP and Fed, do I disagree with - but you keep shifting what I'm actually saying. All I said is that I think Shelton is more likely to win a Slam than Fritz. Do you agree or disagree with that? Don't forget that Shelton is 23 and Fritz is almost 29.

I agree that Shelton is more likely, but still for any US man to win one, a lot of things have to break their way. A favorable draw, some heavenly help to take out Chuck and a newly inspired Zed. Plus playing the match of their life in the final against another American. Not impossible, just improbable.

Big Foe is on fire against Daniil.

He sure is outplaying Danill especially at the critical big points in the games.

This is a very strange US Open.. I would think that Ben is a heavy favorite over Stefanos tonight.. Be Careful Ben Sheldon fans.

This Safin in his prime " Safin in Russia is known as the Kurgan as "the strongest of all the immortals" / "the perfect warrior." If the Kurgan wins the Prize, mortal man would suffer an eternity of darkness"

Keli predicted he would he would get better as the tournament progressed... Unless Tommy can reproduce Verdasco AO 2009 vs Rafa, he cant do anything to make the game uncomfortable for Carlito.

Taifoe takes out Danny boy and Shelton is 2 sets to the good vs Tsitsipas.

 

[kskate2]

Tits did good to get this far for the 1st time in his life. I see Patrick is back in the coaching box after cutting Daddy loose.

That's a Legendary players box...For the first time in my life I was jealous and Safin became my Idol 4Ever

Whenever I see Blockx name in print I always have to take a second glance. I must have a bit of dyslexia under the hood. It always computes as "Bollocks" on the first pass.

Dude was named during a severe vowel shortage...

Dude was named during a severe vowel shortage...

That reminded me of a football player; Elvis Grbac of SF 49'rs & KC Chiefs way back when!

 

[El Dude]

Blockx quietly having a breakout year, with a QF in his first year of main entry Slams (1R, 2R, 1R, now QF+). He's also the fourth highest ranked player under 22, in the Race Rankings:

(Through today, but pre-Tien's results) - Race top 100 players under 22:

9. Jodar (19.9)
14. Mensik (21)
18. Tien (20.7)
24. Blockx (21.4)
34. Fonseca (20)
35. Merida (21.9)
52. Gea (21.6)
64. Landaluce (20.8)
83. Prizmic (21)

Fonseca keeps getting passed by other young guys.

Maybe Fils should be included he just turned 22 8 weeks ago... I cant imagine how he is feeling .. he has got to change something about his pre Grand Slam routine.. something isnt working

How does some of these no name players ger these draws ... Darderi.. I doubt anyone have EVER heard of him but his own parents.. I think the bottom half of the draw was way too overloaded .. Sascha has a tough road but the easiest draw since RG...
