2015 US Open

[Hank Kingsley]

It was late, and the women's locker room was dark, so Bouchard felt around to find the light. According to the source, there was water on the floor, and Bouchard slipped, falling backward and landing on the back of her head. She went to the emergency room that night. After she was released, there was concern that playing a tennis match would not help her recovery and that she needed rest, the source said.

I know the spin they are spinning.... But you missed my edit.

And you missed the "elbow first" landing bit.....

"The source"..... I'm thinking Hal Holbrook in some parcade?

I should be watching Serby play the other Spaniard but it's recording.

I love the game Lopez had again today. And his interview afterwards was great.

"Who do you want to play, #1, or a fellow Spaniard?" (close enough to the real question)

"Well I don't know how to beat Djokovic. But I want to play #1..." (close enough to the real question)

Never up, never in. I've got my popcorn ready either way. I love a crafty lefty.....

Bautista Agut playing pretty well

 

[bksballer89]

I bought the wrong day this year.

Such a better fucking schedule at Armstrong than that shitfest we had today.

Lisicki vs Halep
Anderson vs Murray
Berdych vs Gasquet

Bought my tickets this year on the wrong day with the bad side of the bracket where there's been quite a few upsets playing....sucks but that's life

WE HAVE A MATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a run to end the set by Bautista Agut

You have to be kidding me.....

And Kerber has a wicked backhand. And that down the line forehand wasn't too shabby either. Was nice to see her smile after 4-5 3rd set..... She is usually very stern faced.

By "without any noise" I meant figuratively. But let us face it few women go by without shrieking. Even Serena Williams especially when she is in trouble shrieks to the point of hindrance but gets away with as what happened during the match with Berthie Mattek-Sands on more than 2 occasions and she was not called upon it. She shrieks to the point of the opponent return and I am surprised the umpires allow her to get away with.

Let's go Vika.

Young vs. Troicki could be fun tomorrow.

So could Strycova vs. Lisicki, and Azarenka vs. Kerber.

All of these ended up being good matches!

 

[nuraman00]

Tight match so far.

Congratulations, Vika! The pundits have written her off.

Hopefully DY can give Stan a match.

 

[nuraman00]

Wawrinka up a break 2-1.

 

[nuraman00]

Congratulations, Vika! The pundits have written her off.

Not Patrick McEnroe, for what it's worth.

He likes Halep over Azarenka in a head-to-head, but says Azarenka would give Serena a better test if they were to meet.

 

[nuraman00]

Young's shoes disappeared from his lockerroom.

He's wearing Asics instead.

More of a fear inspiring grunt than a high endless shriek.

I still don't get the fact Azarenka cuts it short when the shot fails but lets it trail on almost to the opponent returning it if the shot is good. It's supposed to be about power isn't it? Not whether the shot is in or not?

 

[bksballer89]

Donald up a break in the 2nd.

Good matches on both courts right now.

Lisicki and Halep is good as well

 

[bksballer89]

Donald up a double break now

 

[bksballer89]

2nd set to Donald 6-1
