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

[kskate2]

here comes the breaker at Kohls

 

[crystalfire]

fed should call it a season. im tired of these stupid loses.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Maybe someone needs to tell Nadal that Fed lost, so he relaxes about not having to make that match a reality .

 

[DarthFed]

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

I wouldn't say no one wants it

 

[nehmeth]

Kohli is playing Rafa tough. I wonder if he saw the scoreboard and took heart at Robredo's triumph. 4-1 in the tiebreaker.

 

[DarthFed]

Looks like Rafa took return of serve lessons from Federer

 

[kskate2]

Suddenly, Nadal has forgotten how to construct a point. Down 4-2 at the changeover

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Come on Kohls!

 

[Tennis Miller]

Suddenly, Nadal has forgotten how to construct a point. Down 4-2 at the changeover

Not to worry. Kohli is no Steve Darcis....

 

[kskate2]

I'm not worried. If he loses it, it's just one set. Kohls would need two more just like it

 

[kskate2]

2 SP's for Kohls

 

[nehmeth]

Wow.

 

[kskate2]

FH error and Nadal drops his first set of the tourney

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Looks like the lower ranked players came to play tonight!

 

[DarthFed]

Unreal, but unlike Roger today we know Rafa will fight back

 

[golds girl]

Can Kohls keep it up for three?

 

[kskate2]

I wonder if Fed losing is affecting Nadal. He hasn't been as sharp today as previous matches. First serve % is low. Not taking anything away from Phil, he's playing great.

 

[Moxie]

Not shocking. I expected Kohlscreiber to trouble. I don't think he can keep up with Rafa, though, and Nadal has stayed very tight with him. I don't think it'll stay this tight from here on in, from the German.

 

[crystalfire]

well rafa wins, hes pretty much making the finals. i dont see any threat. he was going to either way. fed or no fed

 

[GameSetAndMath]

No, Nadal is playing well and losing (unlike Fed).

So, are we having a repeat of non-materializing quarterfinal as in Wimbledon.
