I just posted something along these lines on another forum lol.

The uproar if one finds an excuse to pull out...

Lets hope the fans don't react like they did at Indian Wells a decade ago.

 

[LuuKyK]

Good, at least now one of them will be out for sure.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Good, at least now one of them will be out for sure.

One of them is a lock for the final though.

 

[LuuKyK]

One of them is a lock for the final though.

Like Serena is not a lock for any final lately...

 

[Wafflecakes]

It would be amazing to see Venus in the final, but I can't say that I want her in over Serena.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Like Serena is not a lock for any final lately...

She may go in with a sympathetic mentality against her sister though. you never know.

if anderson loses this match he has secured a place in the chokers' hall of fame.

Especially after that.

 

[zroid]

DDD

 

[Niraj]

lol wow. Double fault on match point.

 

[zroid]

Anderson lost both sets on a double fault... ouch

 

[Reyne]

Welp... I wanted Dimitrov to win but well... that wasn't pretty. :/

 

[Sax Russel]

Double faults on big points are just awful to watch

 

[John Dunbar]

i imagine these are the kind of matches that can mentally wreck a player.

 

[Diamond]

Smart move from Dimitrov with the challenge on the first serve that touched the net on match point. It probably provoked the double fault.
Both basically handed over the match to the other, but neither could take it. It produced an entertaining ending, I just hope Anderson isn't haunted too long by this forehand on MP at 5-4.

 

[Niraj]

Lopez is Raonicing Raonic

Edit: Tight tiebreak there. Nice job Raonic.

 

[zroid]

point to end the 2nd set was a doozy

 

[Sax Russel]

Look Ferrer I know you probably don't fancy your chances but not like this plz

 

[Niraj]

Sigh.

Edit: Looking good after that initial stumble.

Edit2: Sigh.

Edit3: Federror is making this match closer than it should be. Should've been over in two.

Edit4: Good match by David. Glad Fed pulled through.

 

[Niraj]

Cincinnati draw is out:

Possible quarterfinals:

Men's

Djokovic vs Ferrer
Wawrinka vs Dimitrov

Raonic vs Berdych
Federer vs Murray


Women's

Serena vs Jankovic
Radwanska vs Kerber

Bouchard vs Kvitova
Sharapova vs Halep


I'm going to be there for the quarters, so hopefully I get to see some good ones.

 

[Faith]

Finally an easier draw for Djokovic!

 

[John Dunbar]

who do americans always insist of letting federer play at night? i love roger, but i'm not staying up until 3 am.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Venus/Serena in about an hour.

 

[Niraj]

Serena is being pretty generous.

 

[zroid]

Venus pls win

 

[Wafflecakes]

If Venus advances, she better win the damn final.

 

[MIMIC]

Tennis and alcohol do not mix....at least for me, lol. One of the guys offered me a drink (and I haven't drank in like a year). After about a while, I'm playing a singles set against one of them.

4-4......I start walking over to the grass. Uh oh

I don't know how they do it. They're always drinking out there. They must be alcoholics, lol

EDIT: Oh yeah....Big Sis vs. Little Sis.

Big Sis up a break in the 2nd.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Serena getting pretty pissed. I like it.

Great match.

 

[MIMIC]

All tied up

 

[Niraj]

Venus breaks for 4-2 in the third.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Venus still got it.

 

[Faith]

The sharapova commercial is so annoying!

 

[LuuKyK]

Sharapova laughing in that video thing of Sugarpova going on in the on-court screen while Serena is putting a drama on her chair is quite a troll thing to do. lol

 

[MIMIC]

Awwww....that hug

 

[zroid]

dat flying V

 

[Niraj]

Can't wait for Radwanska to lose to Makarova and waste another great opportunity

 

[Wafflecakes]

Very impressive from Venus.

 

[LuuKyK]

Bye Dramarena.

Can't wait for Radwanska to lose to Makarova and waste another great opportunity

I am pretty sure Makarova will routine her just like she did at Wimbledon some weeks ago yeah.

 

[Niraj]

Tsonga is just looking way too solid out there.

 

[ghstwrld]

 

[zroid]

JWT in beast mode

 

[Reyne]

Dimitrov looks done. Jo too strong today and Grigor is probably tired from coming back from a set down in every match too. Good tournament all in all for him though.

 

[zroid]

umpire looking smug as fuck after that overrule lol

 

[MIMIC]

Oh yeah....Tournagrip is a GODSEND.

The light blue grip that does not slip. Those motherfuckers weren't lying. I Googled to see what kind of overgrip Roddick uses because I sweat just like him....if not more. That stuff is like magic. It's like a Sham Wow for racquet handles.

 

[Deadman]

Only took 7 break points before he got it

 

[Reyne]

Only took 7 break points before he got it

True, but Lopez served huge on most of those to save them. At least he got the break.

 

[Niraj]

Only took 7 break points before he got it

What else is new? Lol

 

[zroid]

Radwanska come oonnnnnnn

 

[perfectchaos007]

15 y/o CiCi Bellis qualified for the US Open main draw today. She's the 2nd ranked junior in the world which is amazing being only 15. Juniors can play the Junior circuit until the year they turn 19.

 

[Niraj]

Radwanska come oonnnnnnn

Tight one for sure lol. Hope she grabs the final but you never know with her :/
