US Open Day 3: Wednesday, August 28 - Order of Play

[tented]

6-2, 6-4 in an hour. Well done.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

No worries, back on serve...no matter what kind of lead Llodra gets, it will never be safe with his style of play. I still like it though.

I love S&V and loved Sampras' game. It's a dying game these days but I am sure will resurface with another Champion sometime in the future.

Emma, I wish I could share your optimism, but the way the game is going, it is highly unlikely. In fact, I watch some competitive juniors train in my club, and these are the future of tennis, and the time they spend practicing volleys are so miniscule...S&V ? None-existent.:s

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

6-5 for Blake , 4th. set, Ivo serving...40-30. Looks like TB coming up. TB it is...come on James!

This should be interesting. Who do think will get it? Karlovic because of the serve?

Yes, a word filter is in place.

H A T E isn't a rude word though..

what other everyday words that are ok for a 4yr old to use have been banned then. ?? :huh:

is 'B A L L O O N head' ok or will the filter change it to 'inflated rubber sphere' head.

Jesus, the said word is more loaded than a sailor on shore leave...there is a reason it is filtered. I am sure you can find alternatives, no?

obviously yes I can find other words but it still isn't a swear word though :huh:

We're well aware it's not a swear word, but it's often used with racist implications.

Using dislike isn't going to kill you.

you what :huh:..what sort of crazy illogical talk is that ?..that is completely wrong.

 

[tented]

Murray up a break, 2-1, in the third.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

go andy..vamos.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

6-5 for Blake , 4th. set, Ivo serving...40-30. Looks like TB coming up. TB it is...come on James!

This should be interesting. Who do think will get it? Karlovic because of the serve?

Blake played a terrible TB. On to the 5th. set. It was not even about Ivo's serve.:s

 

[tented]

you what :huh:..what sort of crazy illogical talk is that ?..that is completely wrong.

In the US, that word and its variations are used as code for racism.

If you have anymore questions, send me a PM. I don't want to sidetrack this thread anymore.

 

[tented]

Murray up 4-2. Just two games away.

 

[Emma]

Llodra must enjoy playing tennis with Murray, no? And I am sure he wishes he was in his prime then this could have been a very good match-up.

 

[tented]

Paire served for the match at 5-4, and got broken.

 

[tented]

Paire served for the match at 5-4, and got broken.

Fifth set tiebreak.

 

[tented]

All right! Great job, Andy.

Fun final point, too.

So after going up 3-0 in the second, Llodra won a total of 4 more games.

 

[Moxie]

Hilarious finish! Llodra threw his racquet in the air. Great job, Andy.

 

[the AntiPusher]

I think its a very fitting if Blake's career ends with a last visit with the good Dr. Ivo(Evil)

 

[Moxie]

Blake gets the break back! Go, James!

 

[tented]

Bogomolov won the tiebreak 7-5.

 

[ClayDeath]

blake wants to fight on folks.

he just broke dr ivo.

 

[Iona16]

Well done Andy. It was quite an entertaining match.

Night all.
