OT: The Tennis thread

Definitely didn't see Berdych beating Feds last night - The way Murray is playing, he's gonna be tough to beat (that match aginst Milos was unreal).

I know some are saying the layoff hurt Federer which could be true I guess, but Berdych played lights out last night. Good for him.

By the way, Canadian junior Filip Peliwo (from Vancouver) is still alive in the junior boys draw at the US Open...

North Van's @filippeliwo wins both of his matches today at Junior US Open. Into quarter-finals

Definitely looks like a Murray - Joker final which should be a fantastic match (also would be a rematch of the London Olympics semi-final match won by Murray).

Berdych is 4-1 in his last five against Murray. Don't be so quick to dismiss him.

I didn't realize that, thanks for that info. Berdych did play a great match against Feds and he'll have to repeat that performance against Murray.

Filip Peliwo moves into the junior #usopen semifinals with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Nick Krygios

good fortitude displayed right there.

why did I read that initially as Nick Kypreos?!? Nice work Filip, keep it going.

Peliwo has advanced to the junior boys final, it would be pretty cool for him to follow up a Wimbledon title with the US Open championship.

whatever the result, this should easily boost him to #1 ranked junior in the world.
he is currently #2, his competitor is ranked #13th. I hope he smells blood!
(the #1 ranked junior was out in the 1/4 finals)

Ferrer has to be so pissed off right now. He was taking it to Djokovich & then the rains came. Mens final won't be played until Monday.

Serbian Canadian -- doesn't get any better!

Congrats to Filip Peliwo, he just won the junior boys championship at the US Open - (6-2, 2-6, 7-5) were the set scores.

Edit: Nice write-up.

wow!

His final-round appearance here marked the first time a junior boy has reached all four major finals in the same year since 1984

Murray - Joker final is underway (they're currently in a first set tiebreaker). This has all the earmarks of a classic match.
