US Open Day 9: Tuesday, September 2

[Front242]

Well, give Bautista Agut a little credit. There's a reason he's in a QF.

I'll be disgusted if he is. This is a 4th round match

 

[DarthFed]

Roger's level drops out of nowhere but the one chance for Agut to make this a match is in this game. Roger still comes to net on garbage too often, that's what got him broke the game before.

Freudian slip. :blush: :snigger

 

[DarthFed]

Takes it 6-4, he needs to stop messing around with coming to net on garbage, just get the ball to this guy's backhand and blast him off the court.

Looking like double breadsticks for Thiem

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

fedster in/out fh classic.

 

[kskate2]

Thiem gets another game, but Berd goes up two sets to love 6-1 6-2

 

[Moxie]

^ Double breadstick avoided. Obviously, this is a big step up in occasion and quality-of-opponent for young Dominick. And he's recovering from the first 5-set match of his life. He's still learning. It'll be a great experience for him to build on.

 

[Front242]

Gonna head to bed relatively early for once so do me proud and make it quick, Roger. As in this kind of quick..

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Looks like Berdych the Fed Slammer has been making his way quietly through the draw.

For sure. And a little unfortunate for him that Berd picks this tourney to reverse his slumping.

this batistuta agabriel bloke hits hard n flat and its fodder for roger..

could be ideal tune up v skeletor in sf if they meet.

Likewise, you might say that Berdy was a bit lucky to get a wet-behind-the-ears kid to help him get out of his slump and into the QFs. On serve early in the 3rd. It would be nice to see Thiem get at least one closely fought set, even if he goes down in straights.

rogers dad is in a blue stripey t-shirt..looks like a gloomy cold cartoon bumble bee.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

Federer is looking good or what..2 sets up.:celeb:

sir grigor was depressingly poor earlier..when I re-tuned in after a short break the hoped for 4th set wasn't happening. :s

 

[DarthFed]

Roger needs to keep the aggression up. Hit aggressively and RBA is toast simple as that.

 

[crystalfire]

kinda worried if fed plays berdych. ughh

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

lovely..fedster zooms through to his 43rd QF in majors. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek.

 

[DarthFed]

Roger looks good and he knows what's at stake. He needs to boost that career before it is too late. 17 isn't enough and he sure as hell shouldn't have only 5 USO's either.

I think he takes care of Monfils and would be 70-30 vs. Berd. Part of what scares me vs. Berd is he will have only had 1 day match.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Well, give Bautista Agut a little credit. There's a reason he's in a QF.

Yes, there is:

If Roger wins USO this year, no one can say he won it without facing a Spaniard.
