US Open Thread (Tennis)

Watched a bit of the Murray match during the breaks of Fat Pets

He got owned didnt he. Didnt have the arshole for it.

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.

Whoever plays against Nadal looks like they need to be conditioned better...

...No but really, he does. He kept taking unecessary risks to try to shorten the points but that strategy will never work against Nadal.

[Nameless]

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.

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.

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.
