pat cash made his tour debut in jan 1981 age 15.

 

[Moxie]

NO! What happened?!

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

surreal......djoko through with a 3rd retirement. world record.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

knee injury.

 

[Moxie]

I wasn't watching the last 45 minutes. Did anyone see it?

 

[Moxie]

Tsonga has been unlucky, in the injury department.

 

[Billie]

Wow I did not want this for Nole. Poor Jo. Must be bad if he couldn't finish the match. Let's hope he recovers fast!!

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

yes..he was limping abit towards the end of 2nd set..

then at 2-5 had doctor on and taped knee..played one game, lost 2nd set. retired.

 

[Carol]

It was already 8 players injured and retired, now there are 9 and Novak seems that all his problems are gone, incredible!

 

[Billie]

Isn't it 10th consecutive USO semi finals for Nole? From 2007-present.

Only 6:26 of play time. This is the strangest tournament in his career, I think.

 

[Mastoor]

We should really have a poll for the semifinal between No1e and Monfils. it will have only 4 reasonable choices:

1. Monfils withdraws before the match
2 Monfils retires in the first set
3. Monfils retires in the second set
4. Monfils retires in the third set

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

this tourney has had a lot of retirements..and pushniaki[s opponent earlier done her ankle and hobbled thru rest of qf loss. in 64mins.

Tsonga retired from winbledon v gulbis a couple years back with knee injury..i think he had an operation on it. if its same leg dunno.

 

[Billie]

yes..he was limping abit towards the end of 2nd set..

then at 2-5 had doctor on and taped knee..played one game, lost 2nd set. retired.

Nole said he noticed Tsonga had problems in the middle of 2nd set.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

Djokovic has voodoo dolly of his opponents and things start happening that seem mysterious. :sith:

 

[Carol]

If this is going to continue the same way Novak is going to win the USO without to play one whole match . Be careful Monfils, Delpo, Nishi and Muzz, hope you are not going to be injured too

 

[Billie]

They are waiting for him in ESPN studio but he is yapping with Ben Stiller, Hugh Jackman and their wives. Come on Nole, hurry up, I have to get up early tomorrow.

 

[Moxie]

Novak went from wrist injury, general ennui, a tough draw...to a waltz into the QFs. Surely he is #1, but, at the moment, he is also one lucky bastard.

 

[Moxie]

And at the end many players are injured but not Novak

Thanks for that. I'll read tomorrow, but, on a skim, he says what we all acknowledge...he lost a match he should have won. Lots of work to do.
