Zverev took this loss pretty rough. I haven't been the biggest fan as he can seem kind of bratty and full of himself (put myself up there), but he showed a lot of heart this tournament. He's still only 23 years old, and with some maturing, he'll have chances in the future :)
I was really surprised that he was quite composed in this match and didn't break racquets and all. Maybe because Dominic is his friend, or maybe because he's improved behavior-wise.
I do sometimes wonder what interviewers are expecting to hear from young men and women, who have literally just walked off court with one of the greatest disappointments in their professional career. Do they want an analytical breakdown, first hand, of what the runner-up did wrong or how they could've done better or just rip their guts out with emotional questioning to provoke a reaction? Well done to Sascha for reminding them what he'd just been through and why he doesn't want to expand on that...
I wouldn't do better than Zverev, but there are some guys that can handle wins and losses almost the same way. They just analyze reasons for the result and make their statements. The ironic thing is, that the media and spectators don't like these type of persons and prefer more emotional reactions. Even if they are bad ones. In the end I am happy for Thiem that he finally has won his first grand slam and happy for Zverev that he definitely has proven to be very close to the top and be able to play great serve&volley plus act like a gentleman. Zverev's brand should be the best it has ever been. And if he can continue playing like in the first 2 sets, he will win multiple grand slams, especially in Wimbledon.
a lot of people confuse his confidence with arrogance. he’s clearly put in the time, effort, and work to be better and that’s evident in the two slams this year. if you don’t believe in yourself, who else will? so why would you not believe in yourself?!
I believe you are wrong in all ways about how to speak about yourself and show confidence. He is a bit full of himself, hope he never wins anything till he become humble and speak like Rafa about chances not certainties.
Bilal Attal .... so i take it you walk into any and every situation with a defeatist mindset from what you said. if that’s the case, that’s your life but don’t get mad at the kid because he believes in himself.
@@h8ernot567 I just illustrated how confidence is bad to be out. Confidence must stay in your heart. When it is out with such certainty, it becomes arrogance. Peace to you💙 , that's is never me in the first comment but wanted to make a point
Zverev has 3 masters 1000 tournament wins and a year end Nitto ATP finals trophy. Dude is more than capable of winning a GS one day. Today might not have been his day but man, that confidence to win one is what you need to actually win one. I cant wait until it happens. Congrats to both, I wish they could have both won.
Not to take anything away from Thiem, great win and hard fought, but Zverev is still growing into a big man with a big man's tennis game evolving. His day is definitely coming.
People often forget that Federer had a heartbreaking loss in a fourth-set tiebreaker against Tim Henman at the 2001 Wimbledon championships. In the press conference after the match, Roger claimed cramp was the only thing that stopped him from winning the championship and continued to make the astonishing claim that in years to come he was going to dominate the ATP tour and beat the grand slam record that Sampras was going to set. People thought he was arrogant for making such claims when, in actual fact, he was being humble and honest. Zverev is much the same, and I can absolutely see him winning a whole bunch of slams in years to come.
His maturity and well-roundedness during the match are what made me a fan, and I'm sure it's also what almost made him a GS champion at his first final meet. It gave dom a run for his money.
It looked like a big punch on Zverev’s stomach losing the US Open🏆 by inch against Thiem because he played almost perfect tennis at the first and second sets. Fortunately, Thiem could eliminate little by little his nerves starting at the third set and kept maintaining his performance until went to the tie break and he won it. Unbelievable and this’s an incredible victory for Thiem where he 100% deserves the 🏆.Congratulation Thiem!🎉🎊🎈🍾👍👏
Sasha Zverev is probably the most mature 23-year-old that I have ever seen. His level of maturity is way beyond his age. I believe and I would be delighted to see this fine young man to have a couple of Grand Slam titles under his belt soon. Such a fine player on so many levels.
The only positive I see about this: it was Alexander Zverev's worst defeat in his career, and it will probably will be remain as the worst. He said it multiple times, two sets and a break up, first slam final, not facing any of the Big 3, serving for the fifth at 5-3, biggest chance he could possibly get. If and when he overcomes this defeat, he would be able to overcome any other that follows and start to play a lot more freely in those crucial moments.
Sampras loss to edberg in the u.s open final turned his career. After feeling the loss, he didn’t want to lose again in his life. It hurts. It’s painful.
I'm sure Sascha will learn a lot from this loss. It should hopefully be a sign of future success to come, because the best players learn from their losses. Domi learned a lot from 3 Grand Slam final losses in consecutive years, and that was what fuelled the determination that won him the US Open. I'm sure both will come out of this as mentally stronger than before.
But you can not be 100% sure. We were sure we had seen many of Roger's worst defeats, including 2008 Wimbledon final. But then Wimbledon 2019 happened. If you are not mentally tough, sports is a real heartbreak. I hope he does improve mentally for his sake. And does not make a mess of his talents like Federer.
Vineet Singh Roger is a champion. It’s difficult for someone to do what he did. There was a decline phase and he came back to win 3 another majors..Many people would have retired at that decline phase. He’d to face insults not reaching finals and getting beaten. It’s difficult for someone who is always used to winning. Roger is great.
Dear Alexander I watched the match and you played really really well I am proud of you. A matter of two points separated you winning the match. There will be many more Grand Slam opportunities for you in the future. Your fan always.
I mean he made it to final and almost won. He will fix his second serve, like he fixed his tantrums, and then he is a force to be reckoned with. Btw: final was more exciting than quality. Nervy all the way
I can understand his disappointment. After leading 2 sets and losing the match with tiebreak. A match is not over until you win. It is very difficult to keep concentrating throughout the match and giving your best, but you have to fight for victory to the end. Maybe he will do it for next matches as he recognizes that he could have done it better.
He is 23 yrs old ....but next time in French open ....many contenders will come .....he will not get that many chances .....but no doubt he has that confidence now
He has improved a lot and his game is getting better and better, sure we`ll see great things from him in the future but mentally he still has a lot of work to do. being humble and give enough credits to his opponents when they are better would help him too
He will be a GS champion very soon, today he lost a great opportunity and Thiem played very well. He has to improve his second service, and then it will be done. He is going to win many grand slams and its gonna be the number one when the big three its gone.

"Tough loss today, but are you able in any way to look at the positive side of things right now?" That reporter needs an award for most creative question of the century so far.
SASHA needs to beat one of the big 3 in a slam to give him that confidence. I mean Thiem did despite not winning those slams (ND at '19RG , RN at '20AO), eventually those hard work paid off for Thiem!
Marjan P thats right, n Thiem has beaten some of em in a slam, that gave him an ultimate confidence and never give up attitude. Sasha hasnt even beaten top 10 players in a slam, if Sasha can beat big 3 in a slam, then that will boost his confidence more
He had no business losing it, he had his chances to win this match, he let it get away, you learn from you mistakes, next time he will know what to do, played well.
Don't let the close loss get to you, Sascha. I'm sure you'll emerge stronger from this like many other players who have learned from their losses to go on to future success. Domi learned from his 3 Grand Slam losses and that's why he kept fighting to the end to eventually get the win. I'm sure you'll have the same success too, Sascha.
Obviously, Sasha was so close, but if you watch his run and the Thiem's one, I think Thiem deserved it more and I am happy for Dominic. I think Sasha has to understand one thing - you can't be a GS Champion only by chance, by your talents, you have to really put a huge effort to that and dedicate yourself. If he continues to work hard I am sure he will be extremely strong and future number 1 for a long time, but he has to sort this out and work harder.
Congratulations Alexander 👏 you did a great job too.. You will win next US Open Champion. Do not doubt it. The love for your parents make me be your fan now.
What a gut-wrenching loss; for either player. Knowing both of their career history you can't help but to wish both could win. I have no doubt that Sasha will win one if not many.
Sasha you did your very best I didn’t expect that is coming but in some point Dominator is more well prepared and determined to get that trophy. Hoping one day you’ll get that too and raise up high in the podium, just trust the process as what nole said and I belived that’s what thiem did.
How about starting the question with “ Congrats on your first U.S. Open Final Zverev...” everyone said “i’m sorry”...he does not need pity, he will be back here again 100%! We need to celebrate this final...a big achievement in itself to reach it....common people. Where’s bill from inside tennis when you need him
So many arrogant and negative comments. For what? Three years ago people laughed that he never got past a quarter final in a grand slam. In AO he got to the semis. Now to the final. No matter what the circumstances. He has 4 years on Thiem. I’m quite sure he will get there within his next four years. Stop judging start analyzing guys.
Dominic played some unbelievable forehand winners and that was critically the turning point. Those shots were not meant to be. But he did some Nadal kind of stuff in pressure moments. Having said that Zverev has looked a very different player in this tournament and should have ideally won this. He is not too far away from a slam on a hard court.
Could be the grand slam turning point of his carrer. Do not forget he already won important tournaments. With his team in the background this will make him stronger. I am surprised how much he matured „ during“ the matches.
Why people even say "he can win a GS", just shuush, if he fixes his 2nd serve he will be almost unstoppable. I have suffered with 2nd serve issues and the pressures it puts on the rest od ur game is just huge. AND he went to 5 sets. He fixes that issue and starts going for winners more he will win many.
5th set in the finals ... 6-6 It just can't get any closer! I can't imagine in ANY way how hard it must be to keep the nerves and hit the ball straight and powerful at that time.
Stop rationalizing with 'Zverev is young, he'll recover'. Being young doesn't make losing such a close match easier. He'll be fine, but he had the match in the bag. Winning when you're young sets the standard for an entire career, eg. Federer, Nadal, Djokovic. Zverev lost in a tie-break - heartbreaking. I wish him imminent success. Thiem, no doubt, deserved to win. He's much older (in tennis terms) and responded exceptionally after losing sets 1 and 2. Congratulations to the champion.
Uh...don't forget Thiem is almost 28. He's blown a few semis and finals by choking as well. I think everyone has forgotten that. How many master 1000s had Thiem won by the time he was 18 or 19?
I had my doubts about whether he could do it in a slam. But this tournament, as well as the AO earlier in the year have convinced me he is past those troubles and will win many slams to come despite this crushing defeat
Your time will come... Learn from these matches and fight for every point. Tame the mental part of the game! Know your opponent's weak point and expose them. That's the key to Djokovic's success to overcome Federer and Nadal.
Sascha (Alexander) Zverev deserved to walk from this court as the winner of the Men‘s Singles US Open Championship 2020 ! He was BY FAR the better player in the first two sets, and he led by a break in the third and fifth sets, only to be beaten in the 5th set tie-break by his cramping legs, through which he was unable to serve properly, and it was primarily through his service performance that he destroyed Thiem in the first two sets. If ever there was a loser who deserved to win, then it was Sascha Zverev on this occasion ! Sascha is a real gentleman, in stark contrast to some of his tennis-rowdy colleagues, who sadly lack both manners and sportsmanship. He is my Number One tennis player, and he will attain that ATP ranking one day as well !!! Fabulous guy !!! 👍👊👏
As great as Federer is, he experienced a lot of heartbreaking loss. In fact I still have nightmares from Rogers last Wimbledon loss to another great player, Djokovic. You have the skill, keep trying, you will get your championship soon.
Thank you Tamora Bynoe for getting it right. He NEVER said ‘ Im definitely going to win a slam’. I can’t stand when people put words in people’s mouths they did NOT say. The difference between what he actually said is vastly different. And people if you can’t get the facts correct then voice no opinion.
For me I think to counter that much hurt for having fallen short at the last hurdle,is to do postmortem immediately of what you should have done to a avoid such a defeat and helps fight any lingering doubts that might get in your way in the future,but then can you avoid cramps when they appear so suddenly?
Torn between the two. Both are exciting players. Dominic seems to give 200% with every shot he plays, probably that gave him an upper hand though in last minutes. Sacha was nervous as he almost had his hands wrapped around the trophy, many slips between the cup and the lip. Congrats both.
It is very unlikely for anyone to win a GS in their first time being in the final- so remember that one step is achieved now the next and final one. Wish you best.
Look lets be honest no one though Zverev will win, most expected Thiem to dominate but what Zverev did was great , yes he did mistake so what, he is got to the finals, he got his age at his side, if he continues to play like this, he will win soon. I bet he got more admirers now
It's easy Zverev: Just be on the court the player that you were in the first two sets and after that feel that you deserve to win instead of the opposite.
ArthurMM it’s easier said than done, opponents can improve through the match and tennis is relied on momentum when a match is close. I suggest you try play tennis or learn it before you patronise other people.
I almost stopped watching after the second set thinking it was a done deal. LOlz So tnx Alexander for such a great final. You played amazing tennis during the whole tournament. Other opportunities for an other final will come for sure.
Alex could gain from talking with Vika Azarenka abt mental coaching. Vika is now a completely different person, a zen-calm fearless competitor. Great final, unfortunately his nerves got him real bad at the crucial moments. Like Dominic said, Alex will win a Slam in the future.
His game is almost there he has solved the net game and now he should solve the 2nd serve then it will just be a matter of time to win gs in any surface
I was sure Thiem was done after two lost sets. Real bad luck for Zverev. I really wanted him to win. I cant believe Thiem won the next 3 sets. This kind of thing does not happen often. Its very rare to come back from 2 sets down. Especially in a Grand slam final. Next Time Alex. You Will do it.
Having spoken to him several times at Indian Wells (once for over 15 minutes), I can tell you I will never root for him. He's very self-entitled and egotistical. Domi is the far nicer guy.
Many comments saying he is a brat. I think he has to listen to his coach, his dad or David Ferrer. He has that bratty way of doing what he wants and period. Both finalist were asked for their coaches; Thiem showing great respect for his and Zverev saying I just lost...(because of Ferrer or his dad?) He is so so so talented, but still does not have the head and heart connected to his talent. If he connects mentally with the game and gets more respectful with his coaches, this guy will be; ‘the bomb’!
Seems different!! Possibly growing up. Being an adult and mature does wonders. I can enjoy this when the big 3 are gone if these guys don't have these full of themselves pouty altitudes. Cant stand tsitipas he really is full of himself and seems fake genuine. Thiem zverev Felix even Medvedev i like. Could be fun if they keep it up, wont be like the other 4 consistently semis but fun. Tsitipas is Eugene on mens side.
He lost because he needs to learn to consistently put two serves together throughout a match. After that, he needs to focus on practicing serve and volley, and cross court forehands. Then he will become dangerous. Mental toughness is also his weakness. He needs to learn to play point by point and not look ahead. He needs to learn to forget the scoreline and just focus on winning one point at a time.
@@parkercrossland410 yeah agree, he is "capable" of playing at the top level. Whether he can consistently play at that level though, is still in doubt.
Opposite of his previous couple matches - came out loose and tightened up rather than starting tight and loosening. Had it on his racquet. 1st set Sascha is a future champ for sure, the double faulting pusher version is not
Саша, ты станешь чемпионом, если станешь лучше психологически и ликвидируешь проблемы с подачей. Это просто беда. Полностью проблема не исчезнет, но в решающие моменты она не должна проявляться, а это во многом тебя и погубило. Два первых сета ты играл прекрасно
He played so well in this game against thiem. Thiem is older than him and I thought he deserved to win. Sasha is young and has a lot more time. He’ll definitely win one at one stage. Sash also did deserve the win to
Zverev took this loss pretty rough. I haven't been the biggest fan as he can seem kind of bratty and full of himself (put myself up there), but he showed a lot of heart this tournament. He's still only 23 years old, and with some maturing, he'll have chances in the future :)
Not the loss per se. The situation with his parents. I thought he made that pretty clear in the speech.
@@thembamabona9809 I'm really confused what's the situation with his parents?
14 September
I feel for him. He should have won this match.
I was really surprised that he was quite composed in this match and didn't break racquets and all. Maybe because Dominic is his friend, or maybe because he's improved behavior-wise.
The only player to have announced all of his prize money in AO 2020 for the relief fund, since then I am his big fan.

Definitely arrogant. You can be confident but still humble like Nadal/Thiem. Hopefully this defeat humbles him.

I’m confident Zverev will win some slams at some point. He’s made a lot of progress this year and can still improve quite a bit.
Absolutely gutted for him but super proud of him anyways🇩🇪❤️
Zverev has 3 masters 1000 tournament wins and a year end Nitto ATP finals trophy. Dude is more than capable of winning a GS one day.

Wasn't the biggest fan of Zverev a couple of years ago but icl he has grown on me and matured. He will eventually get slams, no doubt.
Always been a fan and his performance and fight in this Final made me a bigger fan. He is young and will have many chances.

Obviously, Sasha was so close, but if you watch his run and the Thiem's one, I think Thiem deserved it more and I am happy for Dominic.
I think Sasha has to understand one thing - you can't be a GS Champion only by chance, by your talents, you have to really put a huge effort to that and dedicate yourself. If he continues to work hard I am sure he will be extremely strong and future number 1 for a long time, but he has to sort this out and work harder.
Congratulations Alexander 👏 you did a great job too.. You will win next US Open Champion. Do not doubt it. The love for your parents make me be your fan now.
What a gut-wrenching loss; for either player. Knowing both of their career history you can't help but to wish both could win. I have no doubt that Sasha will win one if not many.
Sasha you did your very best I didn’t expect that is coming but in some point Dominator is more well prepared and determined to get that trophy. Hoping one day you’ll get that too and raise up high in the podium, just trust the process as what nole said and I belived that’s what thiem did.
How about starting the question with “ Congrats on your first U.S. Open Final Zverev...” everyone said “i’m sorry”...he does not need pity, he will be back here again 100%! We need to celebrate this final...a big achievement in itself to reach it....common people. Where’s bill from inside tennis when you need him
Absolutely agree with you!
Well said. I thought the same thing.
At least he gets to walk away with a cool 1.5m in his pocket
Yeah not bad at alll for a loss haha
He lost 1.5m
Bee Mars yes and no
@B M-Y it was his. He had it in his hands and yes he lost it. He had it...
asjkaksdj i genuinely thought you meant 1.5m social distancing for a sec
You have all the tools Sascha, it’s all about putting it together and wrapping it up in a nice big red bow ❤️ and serving it to em!!! 💪💪💪
A future champion and I have no doubt in mind about it. Reminds of me Marat Safin.
So many arrogant and negative comments. For what? Three years ago people laughed that he never got past a quarter final in a grand slam. In AO he got to the semis. Now to the final. No matter what the circumstances. He has 4 years on Thiem. I’m quite sure he will get there within his next four years. Stop judging start analyzing guys.
You are deadly right. Internet is full of these neo-moralists mórons.
Dominic played some unbelievable forehand winners and that was critically the turning point. Those shots were not meant to be. But he did some Nadal kind of stuff in pressure moments.
Having said that Zverev has looked a very different player in this tournament and should have ideally won this. He is not too far away from a slam on a hard court.
In gennext big 3 there will be Domi and Zverev for sure,😊
Even though he took 1.5m dollars, can feel the pain of losing the match. I can understand it feels terrible.
Could be the grand slam turning point of his carrer. Do not forget he already won important tournaments. With his team in the background this will make him stronger. I am surprised how much he matured „ during“ the matches.
Why people even say "he can win a GS", just shuush, if he fixes his 2nd serve he will be almost unstoppable. I have suffered with 2nd serve issues and the pressures it puts on the rest od ur game is just huge. AND he went to 5 sets. He fixes that issue and starts going for winners more he will win many.
5th set in the finals ... 6-6
It just can't get any closer!
I can't imagine in ANY way how hard it must be to keep the nerves and hit the ball straight and powerful at that time.
Stop rationalizing with 'Zverev is young, he'll recover'. Being young doesn't make losing such a close match easier.
He'll be fine, but he had the match in the bag. Winning when you're young sets the standard for an entire career, eg. Federer, Nadal, Djokovic. Zverev lost in a tie-break - heartbreaking. I wish him imminent success.
Thiem, no doubt, deserved to win. He's much older (in tennis terms) and responded exceptionally after losing sets 1 and 2. Congratulations to the champion.
Uh...don't forget Thiem is almost 28. He's blown a few semis and finals by choking as well. I think everyone has forgotten that. How many master 1000s had Thiem won by the time he was 18 or 19?
you played brilliantly. just lack of luck. you will be many GS winners. wish you well and best of luck.
I had my doubts about whether he could do it in a slam. But this tournament, as well as the AO earlier in the year have convinced me he is past those troubles and will win many slams to come despite this crushing defeat
Your time will come...
Learn from these matches and fight for every point. Tame the mental part of the game! Know your opponent's weak point and expose them. That's the key to Djokovic's success to overcome Federer and Nadal.
Sascha (Alexander) Zverev deserved to walk from this court as the winner of the Men‘s Singles US Open Championship 2020 ! He was BY FAR the better player in the first two sets, and he led by a break in the third and fifth sets, only to be beaten in the 5th set tie-break by his cramping legs, through which he was unable to serve properly, and it was primarily through his service performance that he destroyed Thiem in the first two sets. If ever there was a loser who deserved to win, then it was Sascha Zverev on this occasion ! Sascha is a real gentleman, in stark contrast to some of his tennis-rowdy colleagues, who sadly lack both manners and sportsmanship. He is my Number One tennis player, and he will attain that ATP ranking one day as well !!! Fabulous guy !!! 👍👊👏
Sie sind ein guter Spieler und der grosse Sieg wird kommen. Bleiben Sie positiv.
As great as Federer is, he experienced a lot of heartbreaking loss. In fact I still have nightmares from Rogers last Wimbledon loss to another great player, Djokovic. You have the skill, keep trying, you will get your championship soon.
You should feel very proud , you played an amazing game !
I'm sure a grand slam title is just round the corner
Thank you Tamora Bynoe for getting it right. He NEVER said ‘ Im definitely going to win a slam’. I can’t stand when people put words in people’s mouths they did NOT say. The difference between what he actually said is vastly different. And people if you can’t get the facts correct then voice no opinion.
For me I think to counter that much hurt for having fallen short at the last hurdle,is to do postmortem immediately of what you should have done to a avoid such a defeat and helps fight any lingering doubts that might get in your way in the future,but then can you avoid cramps when they appear so suddenly?
Torn between the two. Both are exciting players. Dominic seems to give 200% with every shot he plays, probably that gave him an upper hand though in last minutes. Sacha was nervous as he almost had his hands wrapped around the trophy, many slips between the cup and the lip. Congrats both.
Tough loss, but I believe you will win a GS!
It is very unlikely for anyone to win a GS in their first time being in the final- so remember that one step is achieved now the next and final one. Wish you best.
Stan Wawrinka and Marin Cilic:”hold our beers”
@@michelegavelli2479 Nadal on his debut takes the cake! Only the King of Clay can pull that off.
Tk Muns yeah, and also Federer at Wimbledon 2003.
Del Potro says hi
M Daniyal Umer oh yeah right, I forgot him too
Look lets be honest no one though Zverev will win, most expected Thiem to dominate but what Zverev did was great , yes he did mistake so what, he is got to the finals, he got his age at his side, if he continues to play like this, he will win soon. I bet he got more admirers now
It's easy Zverev: Just be on the court the player that you were in the first two sets and after that feel that you deserve to win instead of the opposite.
ArthurMM it’s easier said than done, opponents can improve through the match and tennis is relied on momentum when a match is close. I suggest you try play tennis or learn it before you patronise other people.
I almost stopped watching after the second set thinking it was a done deal. LOlz
So tnx Alexander for such a great final. You played amazing tennis during the whole tournament. Other opportunities for an other final will come for sure.
Shasha. I can’t believe you agreed to let him win! What a guy.
Alex could gain from talking with Vika Azarenka abt mental coaching. Vika is now a completely different person, a zen-calm fearless competitor.
Great final, unfortunately his nerves got him real bad at the crucial moments. Like Dominic said, Alex will win a Slam in the future.
This was painful. He was so close.
His game is almost there he has solved the net game and now he should solve the 2nd serve then it will just be a matter of time to win gs in any surface
I was sure Thiem was done after two lost sets. Real bad luck for Zverev. I really wanted him to win. I cant believe Thiem won the next 3 sets. This kind of thing does not happen often. Its very rare to come back from 2 sets down. Especially in a Grand slam final. Next Time Alex. You Will do it.
He can win but after some time
Not to shabby though for runner -up .One step to the champion ,learn it from it ,moving on ,there always tomorrow .right ...right .
What to learn. Next time he will face. Shapovalov, Medvedev, and tsitsipas, then Alex he can be ready .
Having spoken to him several times at Indian Wells (once for over 15 minutes), I can tell you I will never root for him. He's very self-entitled and egotistical. Domi is the far nicer guy.
Many comments saying he is a brat. I think he has to listen to his coach, his dad or David Ferrer. He has that bratty way of doing what he wants and period. Both finalist were asked for their coaches; Thiem showing great respect for his and Zverev saying I just lost...(because of Ferrer or his dad?) He is so so so talented, but still does not have the head and heart connected to his talent. If he connects mentally with the game and gets more respectful with his coaches, this guy will be; ‘the bomb’!
He's so handsome.
He was more handsome before 😥
@@nandanams863 Oh no, I think he look better as he get older.
He didnt loose this match .. He only learnt
Seems different!! Possibly growing up. Being an adult and mature does wonders. I can enjoy this when the big 3 are gone if these guys don't have these full of themselves pouty altitudes. Cant stand tsitipas he really is full of himself and seems fake genuine. Thiem zverev Felix even Medvedev i like. Could be fun if they keep it up, wont be like the other 4 consistently semis but fun. Tsitipas is Eugene on mens side.
How many winners did he hit?
He lost because he needs to learn to consistently put two serves together throughout a match. After that, he needs to focus on practicing serve and volley, and cross court forehands. Then he will become dangerous.
Mental toughness is also his weakness. He needs to learn to play point by point and not look ahead. He needs to learn to forget the scoreline and just focus on winning one point at a time.
Ur saying that like he's not already dangerous and a threat. I agree with his weaknesses, but when he's "on" he's able to challenge anyone's level
He came back two sets down to love in the semifinal. Mental game is not his weakness. Thiem simply was able to out play him at the end too
@@parkercrossland410 yeah agree, he is "capable" of playing at the top level. Whether he can consistently play at that level though, is still in doubt.
Of course you will Sasha! Sooner rather than later.
He will take a few Slams. Zverev has all the tools. Today luck favours Thiem. It was THAT CLOSE!
I was rooting against him bc he seemed bratty but he's a nice kid. I just think Dominic deserved it more this time.
"I do believe that I will be a Grand Slam champion at some point!" Not if Novak is there.
Novak has said before of Sascha that hopefully he can surpass him
on the bright side if he's not, then he can put himself in there
If he will be able to play consistently like he did in the first two and a half sets today, he's got a huge chance to beat the top 3
Novak won’t be there (competitively) in 2-3 years
Opposite of his previous couple matches - came out loose and tightened up rather than starting tight and loosening. Had it on his racquet. 1st set Sascha is a future champ for sure, the double faulting pusher version is not
It feels like cookie monster is one of the journalists 😆
He blew it. He had it an choked. Too bad, but he really had A LOT of chances to WIN. hats off to DT on the comeback
Medvedev and tsitsipas still have to prove their status as seeded U.S. Open contenders.
He's got a few slams in him.
Wath is the biggest player who Zverev beat in this US open ?
Саша, ты станешь чемпионом, если станешь лучше психологически и ликвидируешь проблемы с подачей. Это просто беда. Полностью проблема не исчезнет, но в решающие моменты она не должна проявляться, а это во многом тебя и погубило. Два первых сета ты играл прекрасно
He played so well in this game against thiem. Thiem is older than him and I thought he deserved to win. Sasha is young and has a lot more time. He’ll definitely win one at one stage. Sash also did deserve the win to
