Kvitova down a set and a break.

Where is Cezero & Old Lion?

I've been wondering too.

I feel like Old Lion is going to show up soon this weekend.

And here we go again.

Thanks. Didn't know the Isner match was on.

Turning in now.

 

[nuraman00]

3rd set, Kohlschreiber up 1-0.

One thing I freaking hate about the coverage on Saturday is that between the hours of 6-7 PM EST tennis is nowhere to be found because tennis channel coverage doesn't start until 7 PM. Basically we will miss some of the 3rd and most of the 4th set

 

[bksballer89]

I'm hoping Tsonga/Murray is not on Ashe on Monday so I can get to see it

 

[nuraman00]

Tsonga - Murray 4th round.

My 2nd big prediction will be tested. My 1st big one was Lisicki over Sharapova, which didn't happen.

Hmm. I believe CBS extends it a little past 6 PM EST, (3 PM PST), to at least the next completed set.

But you could be right, I remember this happening in years past.

If this happens today, a major

 

[nuraman00]

Maybe it's a good thing CBS will end their coverage this year.

But wait, you can stream all matches on US Open, for free.

 

[bksballer89]

ESPN I believe takes over next year thankfully.

ESPN/Tennis Channel should control every major.

On what site?

 

[nuraman00]

I just started the stream:

US Open Live Streaming | Video and Radio | 2014 US Open Official Site - A USTA Event

Stream is working, as a backup.

The broadcasters also said Tennis Channel will pick it up at 3 PM PST, 6 PM EST. So we'll see.

Agree.

We need them to take over the FO too. I hate NBC's coverage of it, with their tape delayed stuff.

 

[nuraman00]

5 all, 3rd set.

 

[nuraman00]

bksballer89, did you try the stream?

 

[nuraman00]

BP Isner.

 

[nuraman00]

Ok, tennis channel also picked it up.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah thankfully it's on tennis channel.

 

[bksballer89]

Isner needs this set. How many matches has he won down 2 sets to 1?
