US Open Day 13 Saturday The Men's Semis
First topic message reminder :
Well, it's all pointing to a Djoko-Fed final. But can Cilic or Nishikori spring a surprise ? Interesting that, after Fed, Cilic has won the most matches this season. Kei has had two exhausting five-setters but has not had to play since Wednesday, which should be a help.
Some interesting thoughts on another post about the improvement in Cilic's serving. He'll need to do well in that area if he wants to win today.
I think I'm going to plump for a Nole-Rog final. Should Fed win today it would the first season since 2009 he's reached more than one GS final.

Mirka is looking for the earlier tickets available for Swiss, she sees there is a flight in 2 hours time, she might have passed the message to the papi in between sets.

Re: US Open Day 13 Saturday The Men's Semis
Indeed SB, to back it up, Fed only had a single break point in the 1st set - and nothing since. So it's not even like he's been close to compete for the set... ![Shocked](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_eek.gif)
He needs to get break points if only to dent the confidence Cilic is building up. At this rate, Marin won't even feel the pressure whn it's time to close this set and match...

Tickets? They fly with NetJets, Fed sponsor on a Private jet, an hour notice on a phone

Awesome return to set it up to break back, Mirka signals Fed the tickets are confirmed and kids are leaving for the airport.

In general yes, but their flight is on for maintenance.

Re: US Open Day 13 Saturday The Men's Semis
Come on Cilic, you will literally never have a better opportunity than this. Just one more set.
This has shades of RG'09 - huge pressure on the #2 once the heavy favourite goes out.

Cilic now looks more strong and fit, and it hasn't come at the expense of his athleticism, well done Team Marin

The only way Fed wins this is if Cilic chokes. Of course, Cilic is perfectly capable of that.

83% of Cilic's first serve remained unreturned , awesome work Goran, you have taken the kid to next level.

Cilic's return of serve and DTLFH has been very impressive well oiled indeed.

Re: US Open Day 13 Saturday The Men's Semis
Eventhough I am becoming a fan of Kei, I will stick with the big boy in the final, Cilic to repeat a Del Potro of 2009.

Lydian got everything wrong, he completely gave no chance for Cilic and put Djoko on finals ignoring the presence of Kei, now the two underdogs have come back to bite him.

Re: US Open Day 13 Saturday The Men's Semis
Might be the most miraculous day in tennis history... Surely topples the day Nadal was eventually usurped at Roland by a guy he breadstick bagelled on clay a month earlier?

Just brutal from Marin. Will he show any nerves now? No signs so far; his service games have been rather routine.
Embarrassingly easy to get to this point.

Both Kei and Cilic excelled in returns shunting the top dogs out.
Well played Marin, I will support you till Del Po is back

I did not see this coming; certainly not in this shape. Fed had no clue; he never even looked like he had a sniff of a chance.
Cilic made it look oh so easy.

Wow absolutely magnificent from Marin Cilic. Totally destroyed King Roger. That was Roger's last chance to win another major.
And it's a watershed moment, outside Paris, the other 3 majors are up for grabs next year.

What a day! Well done Marin not letting any space to get into this. It was never going to be easy for Fed, and the Kei victory gave extra wings to Cilic and extra pressure to Fed
It was deemed to be the most interesting slam since a while before it started, it didn't disappoint! No one expected such a final line up (and done brilliantly too - no question which players where best today!)
