[Kirijax]

Wow. The Bryan Brothers go slamless for the first time since 2004.

Wow. The Bryan Brothers go slamless for the first time since 2004.

That's quite a turnaround, considering they were going for the calendar year GS just two years ago.

It seemed a good support of the crowd for Fish

after 1 point djokovic is winning already.

 

[herios]

I am very proud of Milos to be able to battle through back spasms and come out as winner. He said ion the interview I just saw, he will try to plug along, because he has not played much in recent months.

 

[herios]

I did not know Andreas is serving this hard

Wow. Defending champion getting this little respect is terrible. I guess it can't be helped when you haven't done much except for a flash in the pan Slam but still...

Well, they had a glorious run. But all good things come to an end, atone point.

He played Donskoy, a qualifier, while on the other court an American was having his swan song, and playing a top 25 player. So who WOULD YOU HAVE PICKED to watch? I know, without a hesitation, was going to pick Fish vs Lopez,

Exactly.

I think they did not achieve CGS; is that right?

If I remember right, they lost in the USO SF.

They were in exactly the same position Serena is in: they had won the USO the year before, then won AO, RG, and Wimbledon the following year, needing only another USO to complete the calendar-year GS (which would have also been their fifth major in a row).

And Kirijax is correct: the Bryans lost in the USO SF.

Soooo...are we allowed to theorize about Rafa's match with Fognini or would that be off topic considering this thread is dedicated to day 3 of the US Open?

 

[Carol]

It doesn't matter against whom Fish was playing, the # 20 or 100, it's clear that he crowd wanted to see him and cheer up for him. Cilic? I don't think he has too many followers

So are you thinking that Rafa is going to lose against Fog? I don't think so :huh:

Not this time, hard court isn't the Fog's cup of tea. Nadal should win in 3
