U.S. Open running thread

Has he lost a POINT in this set so far?

Fed's looking pretty darned good here. Don't think Nadal could've beaten him today, either.

 

[spinning27]

BTW Fed's worst year since 2002:

3 Grand Slam Finals, one Slam semifinal, and a fifth straight U.S. Open title if he holds on.

Yeah, that's a dream year for 98% of the tour.

He's an amazing guy. I would love to see him win the Australian and break Pete's record at the French

 

[nafselon]

He's had a tough time closing out these sets this year, he blew a 4-1 lead against Nadal in Wimbledon. Old Raj basically sleptwalked through the set after getting a break up and would just dominate his service games.

I'm doing the Channelsurfing.net thing.

Is the entire U.S. Open on ESPN next year? Or just the stuff that's on USA Network this year.

Hopefully Murray washes that crap off his face now. It is so gross.

Maybe it's what he needs to win.

Nonetheless I love the playing of the Sith theme after Fed won. Clever.

Channel?

CBS

Dr. Phil. Boooooooooo.

Our affiliate did the same thing. We've had a ton of calls.

They ran a graphic eight minutes before the match ended at the end of their newscast telling you where you could watch it.

Just useless.

I believe it's just USA's portion.

great energy inside arthur ashe stadium. grand slam finals are fun, even if it was a monday.

murray grew up a little in that second set but he also ****ed up by losing at 2-2 when he was up triple-break point. he'll be back in a final, even win a few.

federer is a man-child, the lebron james of tennis. i so love his serve returns, among everything else he does at alpha extreme level.

if you ever have a chance to go to a grand slam final spur of the moment, do it. wish i had seen petey l in person.

I'm sure she's a sweet person, but Dementieva's first-round opponent may be the most masculine-looking WTA player I have ever seen.

Very nice girl, very smart. But 6-foot-3 and from the back, you'd think she's a bro. Wears bro clothes, too.

The girl playing Davenport is wearing bright orange underwear.

That would be bright orange CANADIAN underwear, my friend.
Sorry I'm late giving my two cents on all this. Busy covering the tournament. ;-)


Did a ton of blogging, too. If you want pics of your man Marat shirtless during a practice session, PM me. I took a couple or 20 ;-)

(P.S. I used to be ballscribe; suddenly I'm a newbie again with a new name. Not sure how that happened).

Ballscribe, exposbabe, hey you

We missed you!

Vladimir Guerrero's revenge.

God, he's stunning. I want to do very naughty things to him, although I'd settle for just listening to him curse in three languages.

 

[dooley_womack1]

I should really take that pic off the quote; no one will see my joke.

 

[sportschick]

You made a joke? I musta missed it.

 

[dooley_womack1]

Eh, usually the case even when there's no beefcase above it. :-\

Get out of my head, SC!

You're a Marat fan too? I'll have to show you the secret handshake to get into our club
