Rafa out of the USO...
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 15:22 (eleven years ago) link
:( Not that he's got a great record there or anything.
― pandemic, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 15:33 (eleven years ago) link
It's almost like he has injury problems.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 15:46 (eleven years ago) link
Just bought my tickets for 2nd Monday night session at the US Open. Getting hyped.

Davydenko just quit after double faulting his way to losing the first set 0-6. Seemed to have no physical issue at all.

AAAHHHHH
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Wozniacki lost to her bitch Pavlyuchenkova
If even A-Pav has figured out how to beat her it really and truly is over. If Gajdosova ever works it out Wozniacki may as well retire.

really solid performance from Fish, looks to have regained his form.
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 18 August 2012 00:41 (eleven years ago) link
lol Radwanska pwned by Li again. I like you Aga but with Li and Kvitova playing well I really don't have time to care.

Fed abt to bagel Nole here. O_O
what's going on with Djokovic, he was playing tremendously well against Delpo yesterday.
― Roz, Sunday, 19 August 2012 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
20-minute bagel. Nole won 10 points. All those DFs o_0
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:02 (eleven years ago) link
Looks like he woke up, playing much better now. What a weird first set though.
― Roz, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:19 (eleven years ago) link
Incredible volley from Federer there.
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:23 (eleven years ago) link
so good Rob Koenig actually started reciting from DFW's Federer essay lol
― Roz, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:25 (eleven years ago) link
Nole has been soooo defensive this year.
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:30 (eleven years ago) link
Seriously did he and Murray switch brains or something?
― Roz, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
Nole firing some ridic forehands here.
― Roz, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:43 (eleven years ago) link
Djokovic remembering to hit winners now.
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:43 (eleven years ago) link
Just remembering Nole's history of saving MPs against Fed now...
― Roz, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:56 (eleven years ago) link
Brave of Fed to come into net to save that SP...
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:58 (eleven years ago) link
The old man just keeps winning tournaments, eh?
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 19 August 2012 18:01 (eleven years ago) link
Excellent finish - Fed's been so good at the net all week.
― Roz, Sunday, 19 August 2012 18:01 (eleven years ago) link
The TB was pretty good quality, for a second I thought Nole was gonna pull another escape act after he came back from 0-3, but he missed a routine FH at 4-3, then Federer was the one who served big and took risks like coming into net to save SP.
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 August 2012 18:06 (eleven years ago) link
I think that game lasted as long as the entire Federer/Djokovic first set. The Li comeback continues.
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
i think she just won 10 points in a row lol
― groovemaaan, Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:40 (eleven years ago) link
it's ridiculous, 30min ago she was missing everything
Li being 4-0 up and two games away from the title is a bad memory though.
I don't trust Kerber when she acts like she's given up BUT she does look completely knackered.
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:45 (eleven years ago) link
(Also, this has been a pretty good match. Really great, in the middle.)
Li Na!
First title since her RG win. Held it together so well.
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:52 (eleven years ago) link
thank god
― groovemaaan, Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:53 (eleven years ago) link
My two favourite WTA players titling in consecutive weeks, plus Fed winning too. Love tennis so much right now. The only thing that could stuff this up would be a gross combo of winners at the US Open (i.e. Azarenka + anyone really).
― neil young & crazy town (edwardo), Monday, 20 August 2012 09:06 (eleven years ago) link
This has been a weirdly amazing USO series, hasn't it. Of course it won't last.
― lex pretend, Monday, 20 August 2012 09:21 (eleven years ago) link
Yay, happy for Li - couldn't stay up for her match though what with Eid and everything yesterday.
Not gonna happen but hope some random person wins the USO on the men's side, just cause it'd be cool to have five different winners at the majors (incl. the Olympics) this year. My biggest hope was Del Pony obvs but his other wrist is giving him problems. :/
― Roz, Monday, 20 August 2012 11:50 (eleven years ago) link
now watch, you're going to get Mardy Fish USO champion
― Lil Swayne of Pie (DJP), Monday, 20 August 2012 12:24 (eleven years ago) link
Or Isner. Or Querrey.
― Michael Jones, Monday, 20 August 2012 12:26 (eleven years ago) link
And Stosur oh wait
― lex pretend, Monday, 20 August 2012 12:38 (eleven years ago) link
totally read this as all 10 points won by novak being DFs from federer
listening to kerber talking to her coach down 3-0 in the 3rd yesterday was hilarious. "i'm down 2 breaks and she won't miss any shots and i've lost this now, ciao"
yes she literally said the word 'ciao'

Raonic is your best hope probably
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 20 August 2012 19:18 (eleven years ago) link
although how important is Del Potro's left wrist, really?
You guys...I think Young might be about to break The Streak. A break up in the third against L. Mayer (who is DREADFUL, incidentally but obviously).
― lex pretend, Monday, 20 August 2012 19:45 (eleven years ago) link
He did it.
This is the second 17-match losing streak Mayer has snapped! The other being when he lost to THOMAS MUSTER in his ill-advised 2010-11 comeback LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
― lex pretend, Monday, 20 August 2012 20:17 (eleven years ago) link
Hahhahahaha wau
― Roz, Monday, 20 August 2012 20:32 (eleven years ago) link
as for this: although how important is Del Potro's left wrist, really?
I'd say very, given how he ended up taking the hand off and just slicing everything last week. :/
― Roz, Monday, 20 August 2012 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
LOL @ Roddick's racquet smash on losing the first set TB. Darcis (who is basically like a Rochus redux) twice choked a mini-break lead away but took the set with a fine pass.
Roddick's decline is fun to watch in a way his prime never was :D

item one: JUSTINE HENIN IS PREGNANTitem two: SERENA WILLIAMS IS DATING PATRICK MOURATOGLOU
tennis is not done with its bombshells this year

Sleazy I mean how nice for them.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 13 September 2012 13:05 (eleven years ago) link
idk given that Serena's past bfs include Brett Ratner and Drake I think this is a huge step up
― lex pretend, Thursday, 13 September 2012 13:06 (eleven years ago) link
Predictably, the guy Venus is supposedly dating is hotter.
― neil young & crazy town (edwardo), Thursday, 13 September 2012 13:24 (eleven years ago) link
who is Vee dating? I read something the other day where she told an Italian magazine that she was getting a lot of action from this new dude, and I was all like you go, girl.
sat a few rows from Mouratoglou during a match once and he def gives off skeezy vibes.

Elio Pis, a model she met on a photo shoot for her clothing line. Only photos on the net seem to be rubbish. I saw a Youtube that looked much better but I can't find it anymore (taken down prob).
― neil young & crazy town (edwardo), Thursday, 13 September 2012 21:32 (eleven years ago) link
lol I had to read tennisforum and someone made the crack about "Will Justine attempt to breastfeed" and I laughed because I'm a bad person even though I <3 Justine forever.
