Tennis: U.S. Open 2015

Anybody following this? I haven't seen too much of it, but I see that Federer is still on track. Still pulling for him to win another major, although the U.S. Open is probably not the best venue for him to accomplish that. I'd guess it would be another battle between Djokovic and Murray at the end. On the women's side, I'd kind of would like for someone to upset Serena, if only because she's zeroing in on Steffi Graf's record number of majors, and I'm kind of more of a Steffi fan than I am a Serena fan. We had a local girl in the 1st round (Monica Puig)... but she got sent home early by Serena's sister, Venus.

I'm on the opposite end as I want to see Serena get it for her legacy. I loved Steffi Graf as she was one of my favorite players and she put that little sh*t Martina Hingis in her place when she called Graf old but I honestly think Serena deserves it.

Martina Hingis was kicking Graff's ass until her stalker fan stabbed poor little beautiful Hingis.

Murray looks in good form and he does well at this Open.

Serena will make history.

Look at her journey.

I want federer to bounce back but I can't see it happening.

Most people have a soft spot for Federer

Wow.... 1st major upset.
It seems Rafa Nadal has lost to 32-seed Fabio Fognini after having a two sets to love lead.

The only player that got me interested was John McEnroe. I liked it when he would snap and go off on the officials.

I was more of a Borg man and hated the young upstart from USA.

He wasn't the most loved- based on his behavior. As a kid back then- he was funny as hell.

I appreciated McCinroe when he was beating Conners who I did not like.

I was a Lendle fan and Courrier later.

I liked the spanish/argentinian woman that always wore pink and looked sexy as hell... Gabriela Sabatini?

Typical of you to objectify women as sexual objects.

Looks like a Williams sisters showdown in the quarterfinals. I hope Venus makes it competitive, at least.

Down goes Murray

Federer was just sublime again against Isner. He just plays the most beautiful tennis I've ever seen ..... And to do it at age 34, on slow courts (even the grass courts are significantly slower now that a few years ago since they changed the type of grass they use)' with fluffier balls against power orientated baselines with incredible racket technology is just unbelievable.

He has seen off Sampras and Agassi's generation, Lleyton Hewitts generation, Andy roddicks generation, it looks like he's seen off Nadal's generation and now he is world number two in Djokovic and Murrays generation. Awesome.

What's even more remarkable is how he has changed and improved his repertoire and game to meet every challenge.

One of the greatest athletes and sportsmen you will see in this lifetime.

Fedderers style of play is built for consistency and a long career. It is like watching Hopkins beating up a young, hungry and undefeated young boxer.

I hope this was a joke as you are referring to Monica Seles who I absolutely loved. I'mtalking about Martina Hingis aka the Swiss Miss. She came off as a complete brat on so many occasions.

My mistake I meant Monica Seles.

OMG! Serena just got bounced by Roberta Vinci.

:o

Serena Williams' hopes of securing a calendar Grand Slam were ended in stunning fashion by Italy's Roberta Vinci in the semi-finals.
Vinci, the world number 43 and playing her first Grand Slam semi-final, caused a huge upset with a 2-6 6-4 6-4 win.
Williams, 33, had been two wins from completing a clean sweep of all four majors in 2015.
Vinci, 32, will play Flavia Pennetta in an all-Italian final at Flushing Meadows on Saturday.

BBC Sport - Serena Williams loses to Roberta Vinci in US Open semi-finals

Wow! Simone Halep, the #2 seed, got bounced as well. She got trounced, really.
Upsets galore on the women's side.

War Federer!!

The men play later on tonight.

Saw a little of the post-match interview with Serena. I must say..... there's several jobs that are comparable in degree of enjoyment, as far as I'm concerned. Cesspool cleaning, alligator wrestling, disposable diaper bin emptying.......... and interviewing Serena Williams. Especially after a loss. I'd rather get a root canal without anesthetic.

Federer just beat Wawrinka in 3 sets!!

Alright!!!

C'mon Roger! Just one more win!!

Thanks. ;D


Not too many details... just the headlines.

BTW, Roger's looking good. If only he can get past Djokovic this one time. Problem Novak looked unbeatable himself in the semis. Either way... it's gonna be a helluva match. I just hope Roger stays mentally on his game the whole time.

I like the articles that claim her boyfriend rapper "Drake" caused it! They show a slew of sports events he went to- and all of the teams he rooted for lost in grand fashion.


The Drake-Jinks continues LOL!
