Jannik Sinner vs. Tommy Paul Condensed Match | 2024 US Open Round 4

so often they have to play each other we saw of course TFO and Shelton go at it a few rounds [Music] back Center changed Direction but Center usually pretty comfortable changing direction which is the problem needs to serve well today good back just missing a swing Vol there need to serve well he needs to use veriety on the serve [Applause] [Music] game it's become one of the best serves in Wild [Applause] tennis yeah he's broken 54% of the time this tournament perhaps a more crafty server [Applause] [Applause] yeah something Brin was talking about earlier in the year so used to moving in and out of the corners and looking for that kind of a strategy tomy's maybe a little flatter [Applause] [Applause] what a combination that [Applause] is that's such a nice change he's broken down the four on a couple of occasions in that game it's worth remembering he was a set up on Al carass in that quarterfinal at Wimbledon he a that particular play his balls out of the air great serve Tommy just right on the Baseline there good angle drove through the court look how fast he got that close to the net full on Sprint game love [Music] 13 he's a human torch right now he is lighting things up here we asked him to be offensive with the forehand he can't do much better than that W remarkable it's all Tommy Paul here in this opening set 20 minutes in good just no need to let it go cuz he was in good position just miss judge that a little bit if you're going to air on the side of caution is better and take this shot what a forehand this was what a get from Center you've seen him do this so often finding an angle just using a little wrist in the corner unbelievable ball control 15 [Music] 14 game center [Applause] [Applause] very good all court on show [Music] here latest match played aoriz in Center [Applause] [Applause] this will not bode well if he breaks back again here this is going to give yanic Center a whole heap of confidence and might steal away a bit from Tommy Paul who certainly started this match out in excellent form 11 of the last 13 points is cner game [Applause] indefensible 9 milph more than that oh longest rally of the C by distance keep things neutral and finally draw an error [Music] [Applause] [Applause] tommmy Paul not impressed with that big return right at him just short hop it [Applause] out not up magnificent B Advantage home [Applause] just let's Yanik almost put that over the net that would have been a tough falling [Applause] just yes and I like that pressure initiative come forward and do something with that shorter ball game and uh his team really sort of drove that through he made the choice himself though though 4 L that's the important thing if you want to be one of the best players in the world you have to make that choice yourself nobody can make it for you game the love hold from C then J being great up and down [Music] go stay ahead 305 moving yanic side to side and then finally rushing him a little bit forced him to M time that last that still leaves him with the offs spin serves [Applause] [Applause] oh [Applause] and Tommy walk himself into a position to win it what happened here it looked like he might have just taken his eye off the ball a little bit seemed turned his head there at the last second maybe Center caught his eye what a rally that was [Applause] it's taking a lot for yanic to come back sin drop shot was a relatively poor one but three that Sprint speed incredible stuff could change directional let get our look at it here that's a great forehand to finish it but the back we didn't get another look at it I thought we would that backand set up the point five three C caught the line by incredible that's a huge serve in the moment game end for fabulous opening set R will begin set to [Applause] thought process at the beginning of this match that Tommy Paul needed to make some of these rallies physical he's doing exactly that well as s it on defensively [Applause] again just amazes me how well Center slides on these good number of play made in that game even after losing that close first set hasn't shown us too [Applause] much game a mid B [Applause] [Applause] let's see if Tommy can come up with a t- surf not this is any deeper s's going to get this just look what this one lands doesn't get to the Italian super St from Tommy Paul Game [Music] Center do check it out get your orders [Applause] in that's big up often you see sinner left for dead in this fashion it's a great shot held on to that ball for a second before delivering it crosscourt [Applause] game uh but everybody who's kind of on their own friendly practices but really feels like especially these these three guys were still in this man Paul 15 and Fritz are [Music] [Applause] 1 there's that chip forehand again Nick wasn't it just took that chip down the middle out of play there good pass that one [Applause] 15 stay low maybe you can change direction and get one of those game [Music] s and the second set 15 11 first A6 [Applause] set and [Applause] was lot easier to cover the line when you approach up the line that's a nice play one away to put the seal on the game on some big stages that's Tommy [Applause] last time an American beat a world number one Todd Martin in the final that year body blows there's so many of them Tommy almost able to keep this point neutral but look at this backhand see you later on that still the head stays through the shot so often such a game CER daughter back at home proud of where he is it's Tommy that led first 4-1 Center became came roaring back [Applause] w [Applause] [Applause] not going to get away with that 2 point2 shots before that just left that ball a little too short and allowed Yik to take control of the rally maybe the set the fact he was coming him made it even more [Applause] tricky big hold looking to take us to another breaker reflection might have been the shot here didn't have a whole lot of time to think about it [Applause] though his nose on top of the Net players are enjoying some highlevel success at the net [Applause] game the cner oh what a finish that is round was laid early [Applause] on that's well done just right on top of the net some Sid spin on it to track it away 12 of s 13 points one in the four Court in this set for Tommy Paul impeccable two one the centner [Applause] [Applause] now oh he's got it help [Music] oh what a pass [Music] [Applause] four 18 shot rally here well that forehand pass up the line actually was left a little high but was hit so hard Tommy just couldn't do enough with it quality has dropped barely at all in it this is what the fans came for these players are not leaving anything out there not disappointing a single bit five on out [Applause] and second set world number one delivers maybe even a little bit better obviously a little bit better [Applause] 80s and sometimes even in the 90s on that backhand side game [Applause] how Center got a couple of those balls back into play of Center at 119 just going bigger more often as he comes up with a shot like that out of the corner an angle fastest Ser of the match belongs to Tommy Paul 133 versus 127 from Center so Tommy might have a little bit more in the reserve but doesn't quite utilize it as much as the world number one it's something to think about [Applause] [Music] just bombarded throughout this exchange he almost slipped on that inside out back hand but somehow stayed on his feet threw it up and you never know with the [Music] [Applause] lob that was almost a perfect point from Yanik Center so be of course a big Phillies fan [Applause] against the he's just like a shark on these forehand lurking how did he do this that ball right on the line Tommy could not have hit that shot much better than that all those long levers with his being tall long [Music] arms shrug it off with an ace like [Applause] that game center another day with the first Ser as fired beautiful angle game that's nice and has returned slightly better in the match 15 the 11 but he also has served harder not up the point he's played here again the pressure he's put on he's had to he's had to bring it tonight and he has done for so much of the evening he really has he's forced Center to play even better tennis a he of to call that good one game c makes some inroads but not enough [Applause] what a play the sering volley has been effective that was not an easy volley either I actually got a good strike on it keeps that racket out in front uses the big forehand from Center game c [Applause] couple of nice looking slices we haven't seen that many UND spin shots from Center in this match got [Applause] 1 14 Ju game it's a return to the quarterfinals of the US open1 for Yanik sner what a high quality Affair that was Tommy Paul brought it from the start uh maybe on another night he might have nicked a set wasn't to be Center through in three [Applause]
