[sid]

Are thay trying to knacker up the defending champion chances.How come Murray has to play on the 3rd day @ night,USO could not organize a piss up in a brewery.

lol wut :huh:

HIS MATCH IS IN THE EVENING SESSION ????..

lets hope the weather forecast tomorrow is ok.

That's what thay said on tv before the Heather Watson match.Does anyone know the weather forecast tomorrow?

 

[Moxie]

Well, luckily the weather looks good and chance of precipitation very low all day and evening.

And I'm embarrassed to say that the USO is terrible at scheduling the first week. :blush: Used to be Rafa always getting the Wed., esp. when he was #2...that's one of the reasons I got tickets for tomorrow.

u.s. open organizers are famous or infamous for shafting the clay warrior for years.


he got the last laugh anyway.

now he is the biggest draw on the planet. and he has a u.s. open title in his back pocket.

And Janowicz lost way too early for my liking

It's particularly shocking because he's got better shots than Nadal on hard courts.

I'm feeling the wink in your comment, Broken. As one of the few perceived potential threats to come out of that quarter, I'm not sorry to see him go, though I don't think he'd have really threatened whomever comes out of the Nadal quarter. A *soft* quarter just got softer.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Awesome first point in the Nole-Berankis match.

 

[Riotbeard]

Nole is cruising!

 

[Luxilon Borg]

Awesome first point in the Nole-Berankis match.

I'm expecting Serena/Schiavone II here. Joker ain't wasting time.:angel:

 

[Luxilon Borg]

Something seriously wrong with Donald Young. He does not get wild card. He does not
complain about it. He plays qualifying tournament. Wins three matches in a row and
gets into Main Draw and today in the first round he defeats Martin Klizan and that
too with a score line of 1-0-1.

How do you explain this? Is he growing up by any chance.

Excellent post! Maybe he finally figured out nobody gives a damn anymore and you have to earn it?????
:clap

 

[golds girl]

What's up with Dmitrov? Seems like he and Sharapova are declining in lock-step???
Did anyone see the match?

Ummm...maybe they are worn out?

Especially when one uses the Cali dictionary of tennis talent.

A slam semi followed by a pathetic first round duffing is typical of the wannabees.

Jersey Boy has to walk the walk. That cocky persona has to be earned.

Yeah, Cali did imply that Rafa couldn't match JJ strokes and etc.. BTW.. where is Cali.. He got a lot of "bills" to pay this past few weeks on the board.. Has Cali turned Aussie and gone Walkabout!!:laydownlaughing:laydownlaughing:laydownlaughing

Here is my theory on Jersey. His game is considerably different from that of
most players. It is made up of huge serves and excessive drop shots. As a result,
his opponents who do not do any scouting will be in for a rude shock and will
lose quickly before they can adapt. He basically broke in by reaching the final
of Paris Indoors Masters last year. Now that it is almost an year since then,
everybody is aware of his game. So, the novelty is worn off and people are
able to deal with him.

Gents, take it easy on JJ. He had a back injury today , a bad one. He actually served underhand at some point. So whatever his issues are, this loss is not because of those.

His low percentage play and melodrama have worn thin.

When he is hitting his spots, of course, it is exciting.

Eh, I go by the old Aussie philosophy. You NEVER come to the court with excuses. They would say if you are FIT, you PLAY, and if you are NOT fit, you DO NOT PLAY.

Save the hanky...

There is something to be said about that philosophy. On the other hand, there is also something to be said about going out there, knowing you are not %100 but still giving it your best shot. I am sure Aussies would dig that too, no?

No, they would not..unless it was a Wimbledon final. Not even close.

Funny, I don't remember Connors, Borg, Mac, Lendl, Becker, Sampras, Agassi, all the way on up to Joker, Nadal, Fed "hurting themselves in the gym" two days before a slam.

I see playing it fast and loose here. Jersey boy better get professional.
