2015 U.S. Open Final: Djokovic v. Federer

[Riotbeard]

I don't care if I have to stay up until 10 p.m. tonight. I am watching the whole thing!

Smartass

Ok, it's 5 p.m. (I am a time zone back from NYC), it's time to crack a beer and throw on a wife-beater.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

I blame the lack of guinea pigs.

 

[Ilovetennis2]

You guys are wussies! If Murray was in the final, I'd be calling in sick, kiss the wife, kids and cat goodbye, stock up on essentials and hole up in a hotel somewhere that has a wide screen and stake out until the final is over.

Then they start on Monday.

players on court yet at least?

 

[DarthFed]

Hoping it is delayed until tomorrow. Cold and damp would favor Nole heavily.

 

[Mile]

The worst is if you capture 1 set, see your man wining it after what you ge to sleep, then in the morning, checking boxscore - shock.

So better all or none.

 

[tented]

players on court yet at least?

No. They just showed a live shot and the court is still wet.

No. They just showed a live shot and the court is still wet.

Now they're saying not before 6:45 PM

:cover

On the bright side, this does favour Novak. So I don't mind not watching it if that means that Djokovic wins.

 

[Mile]

Not till 1 am here, 7pm US.

Hoping it is delayed until tomorrow. Cold and damp would favor Nole heavily.

Not gonna happen sir!

 

[bajana]

Aren't they supposed to have some 30-minute ceremony before play starts? That's what I've heard elsewhere

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Not gonna watch it so? I don't feel that bad now but the thought of work tomorrow with less than 3 hours sleep is a killer

I might catch the first set. If they start in 15 min at least. If its another hour than Im defintely checking the scoreline tomorrow morning.

I don't know why they schedule such a late start anyway. Even 4:00 PM in NYC is 9 or 10 PM in Europe.

That is because many NFL games have a start time of aroun 1 p.m. and they expect them to be over by 4 p.m. and then show the step-child sport of tennis to viewers.

Yes. Americans love their hoochacha starspangled fireworksjetplanesmassacringofthenationalanthem tributetotheflavorofthemonth before starting anything.

But let's skip it this time.

So they do that stuff at 7pm and start at 730 then?

I would guess they will?

If they indulge in that today, it will end up as the death ceremony of the tournament chair. :devil

I doubt it. They've already paid some "star" way too much money to butcher the national anthem.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

They say Fed is 1-6 when playing against #1 players. Can somebody list all of them?

The cincy win of last week must be the 1. The two losses to Novak at Wimby must be 2 in the loss column. What are the other 4 losses to #1. Should be to Nadal few times.
