US Open [Men], 2022 - Grand Slam

[Moxie]

Triple match point for Marin.

And he breaks at love to win the match. So Cilic through.

 

[Hailz]

Concessions! The longer they wait, the more time they have to sell overpriced snacks, liquor, novelties, and other tennis junk!

The match actually did start on time. I just didn't see it on my TV.

Rafa loses focus and lets Ritchie win a game in the 2nd set
Rafa 2 sets to love 60 61

He's sweating now.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Remember at the USO when Ritchie made the SF and threw his socks off at the back of the court....I laughed and laughed
Some years ago of course

That is usual

When I can't find a match, I check the live scores, to see if it's on. ESPN was horrible in covering the AO this year, and they're only doing slightly better with this USO. Just because you can't find a match, doesn't mean it's not being played, and that is their fault.

I wonder if they started to smell.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I have 3 channels here in Aussie and it isnt the AO lol!

The only reason I couldn't find it was because they had it listed under Primetime at the US Open and not Nadal vs. Gasquet. All the other matches are listed with the players names on my TV on ESPN +.

 

[Fiero425]

Looks like a "pity game" donated to Gasquet from Nadal's largesse!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It was 2013 at the USO that Richard made the SF and his hilarious sock throwing episode

 

[Moxie]

Wait til Rafa lets this set get to a TB, just to test my nerves.

 

[Moxie]

No time to let Richard off the hook, Rafa, FFS!

 

[Fiero425]

It is a different atmosphere then all the other majors. I don't necessarily think that is a bad thing. The crowds are always fired up and great tennis fans. They also have fun. I actually like it. I also think a lot of the players like it too. The whole Novak thing has really nothing to do with the US Open itself. It has to do with the US Government not allowing people from other countries in the country who are not vaccinated into the country. That is not a rule or law made by the US Open, it is made by the country of the United States of America. The thing with the airplanes. When you put an event in a city like New York city which is pretty populated I hear there is going to be a lot of thing going on and airports and people moving in and out of the city. They are not going to put the biggest tennis tournament in the United States in some rinky dink city.

I know all this! Just venting and being a $#!t-stirrer! I can't help myself sometime!

Agree, he has to get this over quick smart

 

[Hailz]

Get this done in straight sets Rafa!!!!!

 

[Fiero425]

Nadal was being generous looking so bad the last few games so the fans have something to see before going home!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Can we get back to tennis please?

Come on Rafa you have taken your eyes off the prize

 

[Moxie]

Come on Rafa you have taken your eyes off the prize

What did I tell you? He's going to torture us in the set.
