striking Ernests Gulbis. After winning an up and down 1st set
in a tiebreaker, Federer botched an easy chance for a 2 set to
0 lead when at 5-3 and 40-15, on a short lob smash, he went out
of his way to twist his body to one side to hit it straight to
Gulbis camped in the backhand corner, when the slam dunk to the
forehand side was a much easier shot. Federer didn't look the
same after that for quite awhile, while Gulbis got re-energized,
and Ernie won the second set in a tiebreak and the 3rd set
easily with some strong serving and hitting, especially on his
backhand wing. Federer finally recovered a bit and took the 4th
set eventually, but was delayed when Gulbis mysteriously went
off the court with a MTO with Federer about to serve at 5-2.
Gulbis finally came back after maybe 8 minutes, and played like
a whirlwind, breaking Federer and getting it back to 5-4.
Federer managed to seal the set 6-4, but then was broken early
in the 5th, and that was all Gulbis needed as he served quite
well and maintained the break advantage to the end.

Strange match. I thought for sure Ernie would implode, but he
remained calm throughout. I can't put my finger on what happened
to Rog. It was like one minute he was fighting and the next
minute he seemed resigned. Oh well, congrats to Ernie. Hope he
can keep his mojo going.
And commiserations to the Federer fans, as well.

I knew that stan was going to be in the final.
I was not too sure if he would pull it off in a fashion he did.
basically he coughed up the first set and then simply took the
matters in his own hands.
you can say he spotted djokovic a set and proceeded to snatch
the match anyway.
60 clean winners against the fastest man alive is a lot.
only borg, Federer, and nadal covered the court as well or
better than djokovic in their primes.
djokovic doesn't just cover the court. he blankets it and
engulfs it with his speed, quickness, and his movement.

Well said general hercules. This was indeed an upset. I had
forgotten about this thread. :)
Wawrinka used superior tactics to hit those big winners past
Novak after set 1. In the first set, he was hitting hard almost
all of the time, but a lot right at Novak, and Novak was
absorbing the pace and using it to hit harder at Stan, and Stan
was missing more when trying to go for a lot.
But after set 1, he varied the pace much better, playing possum
type deep central shots without much sting or standard
crosscourt back and forth. Then suddenly he would inject pace
and blast winners down the line often surprising Djokovic.
The other key was that Novak's first serve was excellent in the
first set - something like 78% of them in, and winning 76%,
which made it difficult for Stan to break the first set. But his
first serve deteriorated quite a bit in the next 3 sets and
allowed Stan into the points to do his thing.
1st set: 78% in, winning 76% of those.
2nd set: 61% in, winning 57% of those.
3rd set: 62% in, winning 56% of those.
4th set: 59% in, winning 58% of those.
On the other hand, Stan's serve stats got better after set 1:
1st set: 61% in , winning 75% of those.
2nd set: 70% in , winning 67% of those.
3rd set: 72% in , winning 90% of those.
4th set: 65% in , winning 73% of those.

well said general masterclass.
stan also knew he had to be ultra aggressive. he went for his
shots.
you don't blast 60 clean winners on clay against the fastest man
alive by not being ultra aggressive.
I think stan is also one of those players who can do it all on
any given day. he has the perfect slice and he can volley.
he has the 135 MPH serve. he can take it early off both wings
which makes him dangerous off the ground.
djokovic has met his match. stan is not scared to engage him in
battle.

Re: Masterclass 2014-2015 Upset Picks of the Day (2015 US Open -
Day 5)
DIR By: masterclass

---------------------------------------------------------
Ok everyone, here is the lineup for the seeded players and some
other players of interest in the 2015 US Open 1st round (Day 3).
Just bold the matches (underdog according to
[B]SEEDING/RANKING[/B]) where [B]you think there could be a
potential upset, even if it might be one of your favorites [/B]
Don't worry if your picks might fall through, they aren't
expected to win anyway. So pick away and good luck!
[I]
On Day 5, I'm going to go with Paire to continue his run and
upset Robredo and Agut to upset Goffin on these courts. Out of
the top guys, I think Cilic - Kukushkin might be close. Ferrer
has a one sided H2H with Chardy, 7-1, but is he still rusty, or
is he ready and fresh? Anything can happen with Fognini and
Nadal, as these days we can't be sure which Nadal will show up,
not to mention Fognini who has always been in that category. I'd
be surprised it Seppi took more than 8 games against Novak.[/I]
[B]Day 5 Schedule
---------------------------------------------------------------[/B]
[1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. [25] Andreas Seppi (ITA)
[7] David Ferrer (ESP) vs. [27] Jeremy Chardy (FRA)

[14] David Goffin (BEL) vs. [23] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP)
[19] Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) vs. Sergiy Stakhovsky (UKR)
[26] Tommy Robredo (ESP) vs. Benoit Paire (FRA)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[B]Day 4 Summary: A mix of everything yesterday, some coasting,
some near big upsets, but Murray came back in 5, and Wawrinka
made it in 3 tiebreakers, but there were 2 upsets, with Vesely
defeating Karlovic in the decider tiebreaker, and the
unfortunate retirement of Jack Sock to Bemelmans with Sock ahead
2 sets to 1[/B]

Day 5 Schedule
---------------------------------------------------------------
[1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. [25] Andreas Seppi (ITA) easy win
for Novak
[7] David Ferrer (ESP) vs. [27] Jeremy Chardy (FRA) Upset
picking Jeremy for the upset because Ferrer hasn’t been playing
well.
[8] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. [32] Fabio Fognini (ITA) thinking
Rafa will up his game since he and Fabio had beef the last time.
[9] Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. Mikhail Kukushkin (KAZ) expect Marin
to get through
[10] Milos Raonic (CAN) vs. [18] Feliciano Lopez (ESP) Upset
Feli is better at the net and more crafty I think Milos
typically has problems with Feli
[14] David Goffin (BEL) vs. [23] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP)
thinking Goffin for some reason
[19] Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) vs. Sergiy Stakhovsky (UKR)Tsonga
should be able to overpower Sergiy
[26] Tommy Robredo (ESP) vs. Benoit Paire (FRA)think the warrior
Tommy will pull it out.
