US Open Day 8: Monday, Sept 2 - Order of Play

The moment of truth...

 

[Tennis Miller]

Darth? Darth? DARTH!

Someone call 911. I think Darth had a heart attack.

All along many were saying Darth is overly critical of fed. It looks like he is right.

Federer is capable of summoning The Mighty Fed for a set, set and a half these days against anyone who puts up a fight. Pete dropped to #17, I believe, when he was 32, before pulling off his last USO.

But I don't think this version of Fed could have taken the 2002 USO if you gave him Pete's draw. Roger is sinking like a stone and I would think he'll drop out of the top ten pretty soon. Father Time is giving him a beating...

finally Nadal changes shirts

Hey, it's humid out there.

What's interesting is that in Fed's last post-match interview, they asked him how he felt about meeting Nadal in the quarters and he said something to the effect that Robredo and Kohls are pretty good players but in all likelihood he'll be seeing Rafa in the quarters....hmmm...maybe he shouldn't have been looking ahead so much???? focus on the job at hand.

 

[kskate2]

the 14 hour sale at Kohls is still going strong. Nadal will have to work for this one. 5-5

 

[DarthFed]

I'm here Tented, just had dinner

 

[DarthFed]

Time to bag it for the year, most pathetic loss I've ever seen

 

[Moxie]

No way. Fantastic win for Tommy. No Roger-Rafa QF.

 

[atttomole]

Roger is out. OMG.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Wow, Robredo takes him out in straights, ouch.

 

[kskate2]

Fed looks completely dejected.

 

[Ilovetennis2]

Well then, time to turn the US Open off for me.

Take care folks lol

 

[Garro]

Cannot believe Federer lost to Tommy Robredo at the US Open in straight sets.

 

[tossip]

go Rishar..

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Wow looks like the way things are going the only way they will meet at the US Open Nadal and Federer is if Roger takes a nose dive in rankings and meet in the second or third round which is a possibility given Roger's play as of later.

 

[golds girl]

come on Nadal...no one wants a Kohls vs. Robredo quarterfinal....boring.

 

[britbox]

Wow. I haven't been up long and didn't even watch it. Shocked!

 

[DarthFed]

Fed looks completely dejected.

But he probably isn't, I don't get the sense he cares anymore

 

[kskate2]

what a BH by Nadal

 

[DarthFed]

Wow. I haven't been up long and didn't even watch it. Shocked!

You shouldn't go out of your way to watch a rerun. It's even worse than it looks
