US OPEN THREAD

[Old Lion]

Only a matter of time before Keys starts being a major contender.

 

[bksballer89]

Remember when I said Verdasco would take a set off Rafa at the Open? I meant next year

 

[Old Lion]

I meant in the future for Keys too, LOL

Stour loses to a 17 yr old american

 

[bksballer89]

So 4 seeded men and 3 seeded women went down today

Duval is charming. Good to see a young American do well.

I'm still marveling over Rafa's level of play. Anything outside of his opponent hitting hard to about a 3X3 box deep on his backhand side, and he gains instant control of points, and never lets go. It's a shame that Murray and Nole will have to knock each other out in order to make a final against Rafa, who has literally nobody who should give him any trouble at all prior to the final.

You are pretty confident for a guy who just barely won 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 over Fed and has only beaten him one other time on a fast surface his entire career. Same goes for Isner, who has every chance to beat Nadal.

Janowicz loses to Max Gomez.

Venus in a dog fight. Down 4-3 in the 3rd but she got the break back to get back on serve

 

[bksballer89]

She is gone

 

[Liberal Icon]

She is gone

As I mentioned in another thread, with Venus exerting herself that much in her first game to win, it is only a matter of time before the disease starts calling on her serve.

 

[bksballer89]

This is going to be a late night at the Open. Andy just finished his 1st set and sloane is playing after. Can't see her match getting started until 1130 at best. BTW Blake is up 2 sets

 

[Smart]

Those fans should be fucking ashamed for leaving early on what might be James Blake's final win or final match altogether. Seriously, what a disgrace.

 

[bksballer89]

Murray is down 3-0 in the 2nd.

I thought this would be an easy straight forward ass kicking by Murray

 

[bksballer89]

This has typical James Blake written all over this. Win the first 2 sets and lose the final 3 sets.

 

[bksballer89]

Blake is done. No way he's winning a tiebreak against Karlovic

 

[bksballer89]

Querrey down 2 sets to 0 and is entering a 3rd set tiebreak. This guy is trash

 

[bksballer89]

Down goes Querrey again. I would've been proud of him if he won tonight and lost in 3 or 4 tight sets against Fed

lol

Janowicz loses to Max Gomez.

He couldn't serve due to injury. He served underhanded once. It was hard to watch.
