2017 US Open - Flushing Meadows, New York (8/28/2017 - 9/10/2017)

I don't think anyone has won it by playing 4 5-setters.

Five Set Slam Matches - Tournament

 

[Vegas]

Todd Martin 1994 Wimbledon (Won 4 5 setters)
Nicolas Lapentti 1999 Australian Open (Won 4 5 setters)
Albert Costa 2003 Roland Garros (Won 4 5 setters)

Useless Isner loses on straight sets. The Arthur Ashe venue given to his match was a completely wasted endeavor. If Fed has to play one more five setter in the next round he might as well just quit (and retire).

 

[Old Lion]

Querry at least got his shit together after a bad first set.

We will have a first time finalist coming out of the bottom half of the draw

Yikes these matches on Ashe been extremely long. Night session will be pushed back.

We're approaching 5 PM and we still didn't complete the first 2 matches. Rafa match doesn't start until 515 at the earliest if he's lucky.

Radwanska and Coco are on serve in the 3rd right now

 

[bksballer89]

Day session just wrapped up.

So when is Fed gonna get to the courts? At 11pm?

You do realize how this process works right. They had to clear out the entire stadium as those ppl had day session tickets and im almost certain there was an huge crowd of those with night session tickets waiting outside to get in.

Considering the night session usually starts at 7 pm, i can't imagine how long that line was

Business side of the GS begins today. Round of 16

 

[Smart]

This half of the men's draw is such a shitshow. Pouille's the best player, Querreys playing the best, Rublev has the highest ceiling, and Carreno-Busta is the most solid. I just can't imagine any of them as slam finalists. I think the top 5 players left are all on the other side.

 

[bksballer89]

Gotta feel bad for fans who bought tickets to the night session tonight at Ashe several months ago. I'm sure they thought they would be seeing Rafa, Roger, Novak, Andy, or even Stan. Instead they get Querrey lmao

 

[Hs0022]

Suckers! They can all thank ( or curse ) murray's fuzzy arse for that!

 

[bksballer89]

Venus made the 2nd week of all GS events for the first time since 2010.

Yeah for sure. He's only 18. He will be fine.

That's your problem. I never use ESPN for scores. I go to the tournament website. Much better to use.

Albert Costa 2003 Roland Garros (Won 4 5 setters)

None of them won a major though. That's what I meant. No one who has won 4 5 setters won a major.

Why can't he do something that's never been done before? (Or any other great player).
