Fair to say you @MardyFish were better player 2day but tennis is crazy sometimes.Pleasure playing u 2day and always.The very BEST in ur life

Aww.

Pretty wild how, despite his leg not working toward the end, Mardy able to position himself early so well and rip crazy winners. Sorry to see him go. One of the good ones, as they say. Go rip em up on the PowerShares Tour, dude!

Great read. I never knew about Mardy's struggles.

damn kontaveit bagels brengle in 3d set to advance to play venus

loser of this genie/cibu match has to forsake their neon kicks

great first set.
simultaneously surprising and unsurprising that these 2 have never met before

Goffin retires with stomach flu that is apparently going around, Djokovic's draw becoming one of the easiest I can remember in recent times.

really admire Raonic for giving it his all down two sets with a bad back

i forgot who sands was for a sec but now that i remember she is terrible

so of course it will be who serena loses to

nah we've been through this with serena 20x this year

obv yea but idk

mr. mattek-sands is a huge dude

with a huge wad of tabaccy lol

serena would still have to be like what 50-1 to win this yea common pattern

or i mean beth would be those odds

tf is with this chick's hair

goodness, who could have seen this coming

serena dropping a set is just a favor to the usta for the buzz

fognini seems much more interested in blasting low-percentage winners than he does winning this match, but it's pretty entertaining nonetheless

super sick break just there

that point just there where he stood inside the baseline and ripped 3 straight 100 mph backhands without moving his feet was hilarious

this strikes me as the natural progression tho when 2 clay ct players meet on hard court and its best of 5

fognini has 43 winners and 40 UEs in 3.5 sets lmao

dude is out there just blasting away

hope fabio pushes this to 5th set

damn fab

^^

A+ net play from foggy all match

whoa, nadal has never lost up 2 sets?

50/42 winners/UEs for foggy now

fabio be steady crushing

the crowd gasps @ fabio 4hands is dramatic and expressive

sick dip from rafa

this match is so good

little gamesmanship from fab returning that long serve right back at nadal on break point

total brick of a game by foggy

yeah

jeez no one can hold

that serve looked wide

wow great touch

5 straight breaks i think?

damn fab cant close his service games

holy shit that pt

fab is hitting more errors than rafa is winners

wow @ this game

that swinging volley and then the drop volley...

I saw about 5 minutes of this in a bar last night. What has Robert Redford got on his head these days?

Also I bet Boris Becker still has awesome thighs.

great tourney imo

didn't know pennetta and fognini were dating/engaged, that's cool

anyone who missed the late nite fab/nadal match shd check out @ least the last few sets. I mean I saw it and I want to rewatch it

petition for 50% fewer shorts of stoic celebrity coaches tho

um hello thats why hes a celebrity

Having congratulated myself at getting the kids to bed by 9:40, the rain delay totally ruined any chances I had of streaming this so I was left with fitful dreams in which Federer went 6-1 6-3 up, only to wreck his ankle stepping on a stray ball. Woke at 1:45am to see (through my ScoreFlash phone app only - no video) that Fed was still capable of walking, but actually a set down. Woke again around 3:15 to see Djokovic go a double-break up in set 4. Drifted in and out of sleep as Fed mounted his comeback. If he'd taken any of the bps in the last game I may well have sat up and tried to find a stream on the laptop, sleep be damned.

Looking fwd to the roof next year - though the USTA will probably go with 8pm local Monday night or something idiotic for the men's final.
