oh ernie, all that hard work to get back on serve then hit the worst volley ever on break point. not coming back from two sets down, boo.

Youzhny/Muller is another one I want to watch but can't, last I looked at the scoreboard Muller had a MP serving at 5-4 in the fifth and now Youzhny is 6-5 up

Isner seems like a nice guy but plz stop showing his matches so much

Ben Rothenberg @BenRothenbergLanguage from Xavier Malisse toward fan: "Shut your fucking face, man. He got lucky. He's not going to be smiling much longer." Oy. #usopen
:o
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:00 (eleven years ago) link
surely an Isner fan deserves worse than that
― groovemaaan, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:04 (eleven years ago) link
anyway it's quite an exciting tb, Malisse has savd two MPs and is hitting great winners. Isner's groundstrokes are so basic
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:05 (eleven years ago) link
...and Malisse nets an easy BH volley to give Isner MP on his own serve
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:06 (eleven years ago) link
lol Malisse eating a tennis ball
― Lil Swayne of Pie (DJP), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:06 (eleven years ago) link
and boom
oh fuck no
― groovemaaan, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:06 (eleven years ago) link
show more of Malisse cursing everyone out, that was great
― Lil Swayne of Pie (DJP), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:07 (eleven years ago) link
Remember when Capriati and Malisse were, like, the classiest couple on tour
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:09 (eleven years ago) link
Gulbis somehow won the third set!
ha I changed to Del Potro/Serra just in time to see Serra net a volley and then launch into a wild-eyed tirade about... obviously netting a volley?
― Lil Swayne of Pie (DJP), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:11 (eleven years ago) link
like he was gesticulating and shouting and waving his racquet at the net, which I guess had the temerity to be there in the way of his terribad volley
I saw Zahlavova-Strycova do that IRL one Wimbledon while her opponent (Paszek iirc?) just stood there staring disdainfully at the madwoman on the other side of the net!
Serra should be thankful to be in the draw at all tbh
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:13 (eleven years ago) link
Pony is basically floating second serves at him and letting Serra hit them out, or acing him
It's kind of funny
― Lil Swayne of Pie (DJP), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:14 (eleven years ago) link
okay I guess Li was down 4-0 in the second set
it is currently 4-3
― Lil Swayne of Pie (DJP), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:18 (eleven years ago) link
a scoreLiNa in one set!
Wussquet is a set down to Mountains, lol
Gulbis is actually trying hard! At the moment, anyway
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:20 (eleven years ago) link
BH DTL winner then drop volley on the stretch from Gulbis to save BPs...
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:31 (eleven years ago) link
Li now up 5-4
― Lil Swayne of Pie (DJP), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:32 (eleven years ago) link
Another clutch hold after saving a BP with a terrific winner from Gulbis *rubs eyes in disbelief*
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:41 (eleven years ago) link
and ANOTHER one :o
This clutch play can't last surely
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:50 (eleven years ago) link
lmao Ernie Gulbis, mental giant. I can't believe I'm staying up for this.
― Roz, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
that Haas service game was a missed opportunity...
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:56 (eleven years ago) link
story of Gulbis' life^
― Roz, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:56 (eleven years ago) link
wow, after having to save BPs all set, Gulbis just does two aces and two service winners.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:57 (eleven years ago) link
OK that was an amazing drop shot. 0-30...
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:00 (eleven years ago) link
SET POINTS c'mon Ernie!
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:02 (eleven years ago) link

― Roz, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:02 (eleven years ago) link
Haas nets a FH, into a fifth set we go!
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:04 (eleven years ago) link
omg
― Roz, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:04 (eleven years ago) link
also lol the last time i looked, pretty sure Kim was up 5-2 on Robbo. It's 5-5.
― Roz, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:05 (eleven years ago) link
yeah and the minute I switch over St Kim gets SPs :(
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
...Robson saves both with big serves!
Gulbis' new forehand grip/motion is crazy
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:15 (eleven years ago) link
ridic drop shot from Haas on BP which Ernie then kicks away in disgust
― Roz, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:19 (eleven years ago) link
ya he's had that funky forehand for a while now. It's working for him though! xpost
― Roz, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:20 (eleven years ago) link
Robson wins a 10-minute game and saves 3 SPs to take us into the TB
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:20 (eleven years ago) link
some of these new adidas outfits are horrible
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:23 (eleven years ago) link
adidas outfits are pretty horrible in general
― abcfsk, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:24 (eleven years ago) link

― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:27 (eleven years ago) link
Brilliant stuff
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:29 (eleven years ago) link
0-30 for Gulbis on Haas' serve...I think Haas has been cramping or injured while we were watching Robson?
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 21:45 (eleven years ago) link
Big FH on the third and Gulbis will serve for the match. ROZ are you still awake!
