US Open [Men] 2026 - Grand Slam

[the AntiPusher]

Rise of the Sissypuss!

Seriously, though, do y'all remember what a beautiful player he looked to be, back in 2019-22ish? So much promise. It really feels like that second Slam final loss to Novak at the 2023 AO nailed the coffin on him becoming a top tier player. In a way, he's sort of in the Nalbandian category...I don't think his peak level was ever as good as we saw from Nalbandian at his very best, but definitely in the "should have been much better" group.

Anyhow, it is hard not imagining this as any more than a glitch in the Matrix, and/or Fils coming down off his Cincy high. But you never know...

I was tryin to see this coming with Tis but not against Arthur Fils.. Did you @El Dude see the match? What happened to Arthur's game today?

I did not. I'd be interesting in hearing anyone's impression.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Biggest win for Tits in a long while. Fils must be upset after his Masters win.

Seems I remember someone on this board saying Djoke could go out despite his draw.

@El Dude @kskate2 Is this the tournament of the Lost Gen.. or will it be someone from the Americas--North, Central or South dammit .. Someone from over here needs to win this thing and end the drought

Stan wasnt ready to play in the open. my concern was that he went home and broke his training regimen for a few days.. Too bad it had to end this way

Even w/ a proper training regimen, I wouldn't have taken him over Babycakes.

No. It will not. I already told you who's winning. The only person that knows how to win slams. We already had a surprise winner this year at RG, I don't see that happening here.

What about @MargaretMcAleer and your bald headed step child Zed.. he knows how to win a title with an asterisk ..jajaja

What is shocking to me is that it was to Tsitsipas, who has an abysmal USO match history, Sissy has never gotten past the 3rd round in his whole career.

And probably won't do it this year either. Next match against Lloyd Harris and if he makes it past that, then likely Lehecka.
