Was really pulling for Monfils last night he looked like a monster in the first set but then it went down hill. He needs to learn how to keep it together for a full match. Maybe needs to be better conditioned.

Murray chokes again!! Like I said in the Wimbldeon thread, whilst Rafa and fed are fit and have a hole in their arse Murray aint winning a major. Infact there are many people that I give a better chance than Murray, i.e Verdasco, and Del Potro
Watched a bit of the Murray match during the breaks of Fat Pets ;D
He got owned didnt he. Didnt have the arshole for it.
Whoever plays against Nadal looks like they need to be conditioned better...Quote:

To me, it sounds like Roger will win this one for a 6th time in a row.
Why the hell do the Us Open play the mens semi the day before the final?
Murray got screwed with it last year and it looks like Nadal might be the same, stupid scheduling you want the finalists fresh.
nevermind....
Serena got so hood on that line judge last night!
I couldn't believe she snapped like that. Honestly, I thought she was looking for a way out. Clijsters was outplaying her and it looked like she was going to get broken for the match regardless.
As we speak Del Potro is 5-2 up first set v Nadal, i did fancy Del Potro to beat Nadal before the match. Del Potro is the sort of player Nadal struggles with in fast surfaces the only way Nadal wins is with his big match experience or his superior conditioning but blow for blow Del Potro has bigger weapons on this surface, better serve much better backhand more power, only advantage Nadal has is his forehand but Del Potro's is not that much inferior.
Federer v Djokovic will be a great match, just depends what Novak turns up.
Im going for Federer v Del Potro final.
Federer just performed the shot of the century. :o
He's into the final! :cool:

Yeah agreed. She's pretty good player, but she's a real sore loser. Now she will say whatever she can to downplay the significance of the match. It was the same when Justine Henine Hardin had her number a few years ago, before she retired.Quote:

Wouldnt be the biggest upset, i also think that Del Potro is one of the main players now and at 20 is maturing well I think Federer is on top of his game right now and was amazing against Djokovic last night, the h2h is not much of a confidence booster for Del Potro 6-0 in Feds favour but I think you can look beyond that a little as Del Potro is still young and I think now is coming to his peak, similar to how Hewitt matured alot earlier than Federer and was something like 8-2 in h2h with Roger but since Fed won his first Slam he has beat Hewitt I think something like 17 times on the bounce.Quote:

On another note, Federer has made the last 4 of every grand slam for 22 times on the run, that is amazing thats over 5 years!!! People still doubt he is the best ever, to put it in context the best after that is 10 by Ivan Lendl.
I think that is his most impressive statistic, even more than the amount of slams he has won. I mean it's almost unbelievable that somebody could stay injury free (even though he had a period of quite bad illness) and at that level of form without any blip!Quote:

Different gravy innit ;D He said that is his best shot ever!!
just finished watching the whole of fed-djokovic
novak played so well for 98% of the game but just froze at those important moments. Federers forehand is simply unbeatable. You spend 8-10 returns working up to getting him right on the backfoot and he goes and hits a winning forehand as if it was the easiet thing in the world.
Dont give del potro a chance in hell tonight and expect another straight sets title for fed
Another stat Federer has just broke along with the dozens of others in the history of tennis, is he is the first player to make the grand slam final of all four grand slams in three different years.
The guy has only just turned 28 aswell, so if he stays motivated surely he has at least 2/3 slams left in him after this one.
Fed should lnock the stuffing out of Del Monte tonight; I hope he does I can't stand that tree looking stuttering boomba. He's beat that douche like the last 7 meetings so he better not blow it tonight; I don't see how he will Fed is playing some of the best tennis I've seen him play in a long while. Del Puto has got his serve on target though and he's got a very good game, so this could go to some tie breaks; but I'm betting straight sets or maybe 4.
Was funny watching that cape buffalo Serena implode the other night; hahahahahahahaha fukking cow. Should have banned her from the doubles final and the next major, or at least Shanghai. Good for Kimmy so nice to see her whoop on both the hood rats.:woot22:
What did you think of Oudin man you think she could be the next woman American tennis star? I don't usually follow womans tennis much but she had me intrigued with the upsets she had. I hope she keeps it going and really blossoms into something special.Quote:

I think Feds gonna wax del porto in straight sets. I dont' know what it is about Fed but he just gets better as the tournament goes on, he wasn't playing that great in the begining of this tournament then yesterday look at him jesus hes playing like a madman. I think allot of it might be that the further he gets in the tournament his head to head mathup between those guys is always allot higher then say a no body that he plays in the first round so in later rounds he has the mental advantage out the gate.
Tbh I've only watched a couple of matches as I just didn't give a sh#t about tennis right now. Murray FAILED LOLOLOL!!!! I didn't even see who knocked Roddick out. All I hope is that Fed takes it. He'll win several more majors as he got over that hump and now the pressure is off; all is gravy now.
All I know is the women are a joke and I was glad to see Kimmy get the title and watch that big boobed turd have a nuclear meltdown cause she couldn't deal with losing to Clijsters................:LOLATYOU:
Oudin reminds me a little of Chris Evert when she started out. Doesn't have much power, but she has a good baseline game, and can keep the ball in play and wear the opponent down.
Big H called it, great match. It looked like Federer was going to steam roll him at one stage, but Del Potro brought the big guns out in the last 2 sets wow!!
I guess DEl Potro arrived; and is no longer in awe of Fed. He had the game I thought but figured he might just give in to greatness. Well done....now go eat something and get some clothes that fit you gangly goof.
Roger had a nuclear meltdown LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! Juan Martin just stamped his name on the future of mens tennis.
I watched everyday of the US Open but because of the one-day delay and a marriage preparation course, I missed the final!!! WTF is that shit!?
I thought the same thing! How are they fining Serena and speaking of how unnacceptable her actions were yet letting her play in the doubles final?!Quote:

Well I totally missed the match because I was watching my Bills in another heartbreaking loss.
I take it it was a pretty good match though. I wonder if it will effect the way Fed/Del Porto play in the future now that Del Porto has the monkey off his back as far as having that one win against Fed.
