2018 US OPEN

rafa off the ropes

yikes these df's for khach

long point

39 shots, kk was prob too passive

that shapo service return was unreal

nadal kk was a great match

not at all surprised serena is trucking venus

poor venus

rip stan

looks like tsurenko was down 1-4 to siniakova...& won 11 games straight

also that around the net post winner by rog was crazy

nick is only half competing now tho, hes in entertainment mode

fed didnt play v well & didnt serve well, didnt have to

can't stand zverev and his dumb face, plus it seems american media wants to cover his every move to the exclusion of so many other worthy names

thiems dfense vs anderson is crazy

basils bhand is rude tday, lotta winners

kanepi!

raonic/isner inevitably going 5, tho no tiebreaks yet (pity anyone misguided enough to have bet "Will there be a tiebreak played? Yes -5000, if it doesnt come in) o_o

roger down 2 sets to 1, looks off in every way

yeah hes putting it into the net a ton

Mysteriously* waking up at 5:51am to find Millman at MP: maybe I just had to be there for the end of Fed’s career :(

(* not really, GF’s alarm goes off at 5:50)

10 double faults? Served at 6-3 5-4 40/15? Sounds like a disaster tbh.

What’s the longest ever gap between Slams? For Delpo it would be 9 years...

thiem pushing this to 5 is impressive

Goddammit. Missed smash on MP.

great match

After Fed’s fall I was really hoping for a last four with none of the old guard. Del Potro-Thiem/Nishikori-Millman would have been ideal.

Nadal only won seven points in that first set.

well, millman made him work a bit

I'm worried Serena doesn't have any real friends, because a real friend would have talked to her about that dress

serena has transcended all these things

stoked for Osaka, hopefully it's a great final!

I loved the dress. It's like when Usain Bolt turns and smiles at the camera before he crosses the finish line.

delpo chokin away a service game for the first set

So what's the feeling? I'd like Serena to get another slam but can't help feeling that I'd like Osaka to do it as well.

Delpo to win on Sunday would be sweet, but he's never beaten Djoko in a slam and I can see heartbreak.

uk ppl what's the stream you are using for this if any?

*whispers* cric hd dot com

scroll down the list of channels until you find one that'll be showing the tennis, probably eurosport idk

Its on amazon prime in the uk (they got the rights from sky/eurosport)...don't know if that's gonna do it.

Anything to detract from Margaret Court's legacy is a win.

Only seeing this thing through tweets but Osaka is dominating and has won the first set.

Listening on the radio. Epic game 4, Serena breaks!!

What happened with the coaching thing! I missed it!

This is bullshit!

Dude. Serena IS the game. The first thing I thought of was McEnroe getting away with years of this bullshit.

She received a warning for coaching, she denied she was being coached, but the replay showed Mouratoglou was in fact giving some kind of instruction.

Fucking fine the coach.

That happened in the second game of set 2, and she’s been unravelling ever since. Osaka got under her skin big time (with her fantastic playing, I should add)

xp Yes, the game fine is weird

I would burn that place down. With all the shit they put on Serena, especially this year.

Osaka win is totally deserved though

Both of these things can be true.

This was extraordinary. Osaka was ice cool throughout to wrap it up. What a player!!

I need to find out what happened before. we tuned in way late.

Another BP for Delpo, Novak has the answers tonight..

Breaks :-(

god I hate this.

1) “you’re losing your mind” is not remotely in the same league as “you’re a thief” and “you’ll never work one of my matches again in your life.” get real man
2) the video said he was assessed a warning, so if he had already been assessed a warning for coaching and a pint for racquet abuse....

Delpo really ripping a couple of FHs..

30-30 on Djoko's serve..

1st BP and he needs to somehow take it..

fucking hell long.

got it at the 2nd, come on!!

youd almost miss deejs piercing subtlety tbfh

deej, for all his faults, is a genuinely thoughtful person

4-3, Delpo finally in the match. Its a tough level to keep up tho'.

down the line screamer from Delpo for one more bp!

on deuce..it's becoming epic.

another screamer, one more bp!!

long!!

This...goes on...another deuce

jesus lord, nearly 20 min game here. another bp saved.

Djoko holds a 20 min game...he went up to the umpire to ask about the ball change and engaged Del Potro in that...interesting, is all I'll say.

Fairly easy hold Delpo: 5-4

getting a sinking feeling about the tie-break

4-4, my heart can't take this

FH error from Delpo, 2 serves for the 2nd Djoko

2 SPs Djoko :-(

yup, I was right

he had what 7 BPs in that epic game? god fuck this.

He "only" had 3 BPs in that game (8 deuces). 95min, 99pts, what an insane set of tennis. Oh well, it's bed for me. Hope I wake up to an extraordinary story.

alas. Not sure why Del Potro played in a Brazil shirt anyway.
