US Open 2020

[Sin Hombre]

Djokovic is trying a coup in his battle against the ATP within the bubble and with Federer and Nadal both missing, and it looks like both Bopanna and Nagal have signed up to his camp.

Curious if anyone has more color on their decision.

Sumit breezed thru to win the first set 6-1 in 20 mins.

[sameerph]

And he wins the second set after a bit more fight from Klahn at 6-3.

Finish it off.

[sameerph]

Sumit lost the third set 3-6 but is now up 3-0 in the fourth set.

[sameerph]

And he got a bit nervous after 5-0 and missed 5 matchpoints but converted the sixth one to take the match for his first grand slam win.

[R1] Sumit Nagal (IND,122) d. Bradley Klahn (USA,128) 61 63 36 61

C,mon. Nobody in the forum to celebrate our singled grand slam win after 7 years.

Awesome win by Sumit! Clearly, the US Open is a happy place for him after his stirring battle with Federer last year and then getting his milestone first GS win! Hoping to see a strong performance from him in the second round as well

I watched the match in bits and pieces. Sumit played well to dominate his patchy opponent. It's a big deal for Indian Tennis to see a player make it R2 at a grandslam after so many years. Saki probably was the only one who was close enough to R2.

C,mon. Nobody in the forum to celebrate our singled grand slam win after 7 years.

Sumit's win prodded me back into the forum after 4+ months, my longest time away since the forum became a part of my life around 2 decades ago

Fabulous that Sumit won — our first Slam singles win in 7 years — and did so with such consummate ease after a mild hiccup in the third set. Looking forward to Thiem in R2!!

[PKBasu]

The consummate ease of the 61 63 36 61 win is what stands out. Great idea to have played in Prague last week!

[PKBasu]

Surprisingly his live ranking has edged down to 123. Lots of other lower ranked players also winning presumably...

[PKBasu]

Dominic Thiem will be ousted in R2!

Getting to Know: Sumit Nagal

I watched a short highlights package. Two big surprises: Sumit was volleying quite often, and very effectively too; and he has dyed his hair blonde ( )

[PKBasu]

Sir Andrew Murray came back from two sets down against Nishioka to win two tiebreaks and then win the final set 6-4. Venus Williams lost to the 20th seed, sadly.
