US Open 2012

YESSSSSSSSSS

:DDDDDD

GULBIS: FIGHTER, MENTAL GIANT, CLUTCH PLAYER

oh hey apparently you and Gulbis share the same bday lol

Every time i turn back to ashe, Laura's come back from a break down. I'm liking it.

oh hey apparently you and Gulbis share the same bday lol

haaaa I never knew this. Roddick too. Threesome.

anyone got a decent stream for the robson match? mine just stopped working :/

try this one: http://www.sportlemon.tv/v-4/2/196/v-439753.html

I can't find any working one on the usual sites, am using the bet365 one (which is pretty shit tbh considering it's legit)

Robson a game away from ending Kim Clijsters' career...

thanks Roz

please don't fuck this up laura

this really is impressive from Gulbis, something he would not have done a year ago. maybe being bumped down to qually level woke him up.

oh fuck OFF Kim with that defence

that smash error was brutal

15-30! C'mon!

MATCH POINTS

holy shit that robson shot

MPs!

oh fucking hell Kim

ugh, saved, TB

depressing

oh god that miss ;_;

Robson has a really beautiful game

seriously impressive stuff from Robson here - a far cry from the petulant, sulky mess I saw at the AO earlier this year

incredible winner to get to MP again...

OMG that FH DTL

Amazing stuff. What a match!

wtg robson

Fantastic

i love her

incredible. well done, Laura!

she really played so well - even the defence was better than usual, her strokes were as gorgeous as ever and her serve was on point. but as Roz said the real improvement was mental.

and NO MORE ST KIM, HALLELUJAH

bye kim, no one will miss you!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

so happy for laura robson. YES.

goodbye kim! see you on your next farewell tour

haha u guys and kim clijsters

only issue I see for Robson is her poor speed

is the whole St. Kim thing just because she's a mom?

it's always been a mystery to me

it's because she was always so ~~nice~~

Robson's movement is still pretty bad but tbh even that was better than usual in this match. Her new coach is Zeljko Krajan (who took Safina to No 1 and transformed Cibulkova into a ballbasher) who's a hard taskmaster so maybe he'll iron out her giant lazybones tendencies.

St Kim has always been very keen for audiences to note her halo ever since she broke through.

I'm very confused, I thought Robson was the Brit everyone hated

Who am I thinking of? Someone on the women's tour

Also the ESPN coverage has basically spent all of its time extolling Clijsters' praises since the end of that match, even over Harrison's match. They just asked Lino about Clijsters and now they're asking Sharapova about her.

They ought to call this the 2012 Kim Clijsters Jackoff Sesh.

If Chris Evert says "Kimmy" one more time I may scream

^^this is that St Kimmy thing I have found so awful over the past decade, yes

I find Baltacha fairly grating as GBR players go, dunno if anyone really hates her though, it's not like she's v relevant

oh now that I see that name I think Baltacha is the player I am thinking of; the whole time I was watching Robson I kept thinking "huh why does Lex hate her, she's kind of brimming with potential"

come on Dodig, give us a match

sometimes it is fun to watch Sharapova rofflestomp someone

lendl watching murray is one of the funniest things

they should cut to him after every point
