US Open, Flushing Meadows, NY USA - Grand Slam (Men)

[I.Haychew]

Truth be told, the NFL are prickly too. They whine about natural grass, artificial grass, turf, wind conditions in certain arenas, the balls, etc...

With all due respect, I disagree. I do agree that there have been complaints about horrific field conditions (eg. field conditions such as uneven turf, that could lead to injuries, but I've never heard of a complaint of crowd noise. It's just part of the game. What team has ever complained about field conditions at Lambeau Field or Soldier Field in January? Remember the Ice Bowl in 1967 between the Packers and the Cowboys and the Fog Bowl in 1988 between the Bears and the Eagles. Far from ideal conditions, but they still played.

Serve and backhand are just terrible again.

 

[herios]

Maybe Roger wants more practice and could use another sera? LOL

The kid picks it up again, Fed disappears again.

 

[DarthFed]

Special ed Fed right now

 

[crystalfire]

wow 5th set i guess

 

[DarthFed]

No reason to think Fed will win the 5th at this point

 

[Carol]

Wow, this is surprising me, I haven't expected this coming back of Tiafoe

 

[crystalfire]

rafa got a good chance to win his second USO

 

[DarthFed]

^His 3rd sadly

Wow, this is surprising me, I haven't expected this coming back of Tiafoe

Fed gave him new life.

 

[I.Haychew]

And crowd noise clearly affects road teams on offense in the NFL and they are used to it. If you're a pro tennis player you aren't used to hearing so much noise during points.

My response is...Get used to it! By now, you'd think that players would expect it at the US Open.

 

[DarthFed]

This match seems over

Ssssssshhhh, I don't want to hear that anymore, everybody said the same thing in Cincinnati and look what was his result. Anyway Roger has not lost already

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Weird turn of events. I guess Roger has to hold to start the 5th?

 

[I.Haychew]

Whatever

Good argument.

 

[Moxie]

Wow, Frances! I say this completely dispassionately of anything against Roger: I've been hoping for the best for Frances. I still don't expect him to pull off the upset, but he's shown himself up really well. He's never won a 5-setter, for the record.

 

[DarthFed]

Nothing on the grpundstrokes and back to moving like a turtle.

 

[Carol]

My response is...Get used to it! By now, you'd think that players would expect it at the US Open.

And they say that they are already get to used it, it's just the first minutes when they start to play the first match. By the way I don't understand why you are doing so big deal about it, are you playing this USO too?

Oh, come on. Frances is unlikely to have the maturity to win this, unless Roger is unfit.
