OT: The Tennis thread

[dash]

Milos Raonic has won the SAP Open in San Jose, California. After a great run at the Aussie Open, the 20 year old Canadian captures the title in straight sets (7-6, 7-6).

No, his opponent was not Jerry Seinfeld.

I mentioned him during the Aussie Open. He's got legit skills. Congrats to Milos.

Awesome. Verdasco is a very good player and was on a roll at that tourney. Going to be interesting to see what he can do at Wimbledon. That serve on grass will be lethal.

sweet.

wait, a best of three men's final?

Yeah, only the four majors and other special tourneys have a best 3-of-5 format. The regular ATP events are best 2-of-3.

By the way, Verdasco was up 6-2 in the first set tie-breaker. Milos won six straight points to take the opening set.

OT: Another game for Milos

He's through to the semi-finals at the ATP event in Memphis...

Gets Mardy Fish in the Semis. Love to see him knock the stuffing out of Andy Rod-dork in the final but I have a feeling fatigue will catch up to him tomorrow.

Little bit of a dick move after the match not shaking the umpires hand after not getting that call. Not very Canadian, Milos

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Still on the subject of tennis, Rebecca Marino won to advance to her first ever final. Not getting as much press as Milos, but maybe just as big a future star on the women's side.

^^^

I noticed that as well...I guess there is more to Canadian tennis than Daniel Nestor.

He's just pissed that Obama wants $5.50 from him everytime he flies to the States for a tournament.

 

[puckhead]

on OTR the other day he did the "another game for Milos" line. was pretty durned good.
can't find it on Y.T.

Milos just won the opening set 6-4 over American Mardy Fish...The serve is dominant once again today.

 

[dash]

Fish comes back to take the second set 6-4.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

breaks fish hold serve and he can take it

hope he comes to odlum brown this year

 

[jstewismybastardson]

winner!

unbelievable run for a 20 year old

 

[dash]

Wow...Great point by Milos to win the match (I think Fish got robbed on the line call on the preceding point, but oh well).

On to the final.

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Gotta learn to win that second set though lol. But again great job.

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

It's official, gets Andy Frauddick in the final. Man that poor radar gun is gonna take some abuse tomorrow.
