Fed's net game is the only thing that's kept him from being *completely* steamrolled.

Yep. Glad Jo finally put him out of his misery. Worst I've seen Roger play since the final against Hewiit at the beginning of the year. Truly cringe inducing at times... by that mean I was literally cringing every time Roger hit a ground stroke as they could pretty much end up anywhere today.

Still, really pleased for Jo as he thoroughly deserved this. He's been totally on it all week and looks like he's finally regained he's confidence after an overall poor year.

 

[Niraj]

federer losing another final, well i never.

Still though, I'd rather have him make finals and lose than what we got last year.

Yeah, agreed. There wasn't much at all that was redeemable about the way he played today. I hope Jo can actually keep it up and do well at Cincinnati and the USO. It would be nice to get to see him play in Cincinnati this year. I think 2012 he got into a car accident in Toronto and pulled out, and last year he was injured. Fingers crossed :/

Where will this put Jo in the rankings? I'm hoping he can get himself back in the top 10 for the WTF as I'm going there myself this year.

I think they said 10th.

 

[LuuKyK]

That was very disappointing from fed. Tsonga was serving well, but otherwise he wasnt really doing anthing special.

Also lol @ venus getting routined by Aga. So much for her being back.

 

[zero_suit]

Really happy for Jo. He needed this.

 

[Niraj]

Tsonga loses the first set against Youzhny 6-1 :/

 

[Faith]

Tsonga already back to normal mode?

 

[Niraj]

Well, so much for being able to see Tsonga on Friday

 

[Faith]

Wawrinka playing like in Australia. Could win this if he keeps that level up.

 

[Niraj]

Well, so much for being able to see Dimitrov on Friday Berdych is out too, but I don't care about that

 

[perfectchaos007]

That was about the toughest straight set win you can have. ( Serena v stosur )

 

[perfectchaos007]

Bernard Tomic got a wildcard into the US-Open, and so did Jared Donaldson. I'm glad the USTA gave Donaldson a wildcard because he was on his way to winning Kalamazoo until his injury in the quarter finals.

 

[Reyne]

Well, so much for being able to see Tsonga on Friday

Federer still in...

Spoiler

Now watch him tank this tournament...

 

[Wafflecakes]

Lol yeah. One or two points different and Stosur could have won in straight sets.

 

[Niraj]

lol I know, I'm waiting for it. Last year really was stressful because he almost lost to Tommy Haas while I was driving down :/

He's looking pretty sloppy against Pospisil so far.

Edit: Wow, what a shitty game. Gifted that set away.

Edit2: Whew. Pospisil had two really bad service games. He definitely could've won in 2.

 

[zroid]

Fed's putting his foot down now lol xD

 

[Niraj]

Fed's putting his foot down now lol xD

Just couldn't keep it up. Wasted break points from Fed aside, I think Pospisil played better for most of the first two sets (and especially came up big on those break points). Could've easily been a straight set win. I'm relieved

Edit: Wow, only lost one point on serve in the third set. That's awesome.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Historic win for Fed.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Ernests gonna Ernests. Sorry MIMIC

 

[Niraj]

It's nice to see Kuznetsova playing well.

 

[Faith]

Anyone watching Murray? Best points of the year happening right now :O

 

[perfectchaos007]

Anyone watching Murray? Best points of the year happening right now :O

No, but I saw via scoreboard Isner squandered a couple match points. Now Murray has the lead in the tiebreak.

 

[Faith]

Djokovic saved 2 match points, 5:5 in the second right now.

 

[John Dunbar]

robredo had two match points but didn't take. will lose the set 7-5 now.

 

[Faith]

If Djokovic wins the set, he will win the match. But I think Robredo will win in 2.

Come on Djokovic, go home. You are not deserving #1 right now at all. If he keeps playing that bad he won't win a tournament ever again.

 

[Reyne]

robredo had two match points but didn't take. will lose the set 7-5 now.

Nope. Robredo does win 7-5.

Crazy.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Djokovic not in good form going into the US-Open.

 

[John Dunbar]

why couldn't the us swing djokovic show up a bit early for the wimbledon final? sigh.

this joke of a draw was an amazing chance for him to win cincy, though. going to need a ton of luck to get another one nearly as good as this one.

 

[Faith]

I knew that a marriage will destroy your life, but really this way?

Wait until he has his kid.

 

[zroid]

dat Monfils snipe to save the break point

edit: this is a WTA match

 

[Deadman]

Weird set.

e: wow big mistake by the umpire there

 

[John Dunbar]

monfils got robbed.

edit: monfils takes the second. definitely looked the stronger player at the end there.

 

[zroid]

What's Roger raging about...

 

[Sax Russel]

What's Roger raging about...

Playing shitty =P

 

[John Dunbar]

federer got it done. none of the top players are playing too well at the moment, so tough to predict who will win. hopefully wawrinka won't end up stealing another masters title from fed.

 

[Niraj]

*sigh of relief*

So as of now I've got:

Serena vs Jankovic
Radwanska vs Winner of Kerber/Wozniacki
Ivanovic vs Svitolina
Sharapova vs Halep

Wawrinka vs Benneteau
Raonic vs Fognini
Robredo vs Ferrer (I'm assuming)
Federer vs Murray

Compared to the projected:

Serena vs Jankovic
Radwanska vs Kerber
Bouchard vs Kvitova
Sharapova vs Halep

Wawrinka vs Dimitrov
Raonic vs Berdych
Djokovic vs Ferrer
Federer vs Murray

Hope to see some good ones! Looking forward to seeing Fognini for the first time. Hope he does something really stupid.

 

[Niraj]

Benneteau is clowning Stan now lol

 

[Reyne]

And just when you think Stan was gonna goat this tournament...

 

[zroid]

the hell Stan?

 

[Niraj]

Dude just can't find his range at all. Pretty weak match from him to be honest. Once Benneteau turned it up Stan had no response. Benneteau was reading him really well.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Sock and Popsicle are somehow a legit doubles team. I think they are still undefeated playing together.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Fognini are you even trying?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Sock only projects to be a doubles specialist at this point....

 

[Niraj]

Fognini are you even trying?

He barely did. Most life he showed was throwing his racquet at the wall lol.

 

[Wafflecakes]

On court coaching is annoying.

At least limit it to between sets....

 

[zroid]

Mopey Murray vs Fading Federer :^)

 

[John Dunbar]

federer pissing away them break points again.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Fed 0-6 on break point chances so far
