Djokovic might be tired after the last match, so we'll see.

 

[Speevy]

I usually say this about Murray, but Fish deserved that loss.

 

[clemenx]

Ah, Berdych couldn't serve out the 1st set.

Aaand he falls apart. Very lame.

 

[rando14]

Lame.

 

[Sax Russel]

What a disappointing day. An uninteresting first SF and then I had my hopes pinned on this one being exciting, but Berdych decides to screw that up >( Oh well, GO NOLE

 

[clemenx]

Go Novak!

He looks like Federror these first games.

 

[Sax Russel]

Come on Nole! Find a little bit more life!

(and then win the US Open too >_>)

 

[clemenx]

Djokovic has looked very tired since the start Hope he finds another gear for the 2nd set. This is rather boring but it's Murray's fault, lol.

Djokovic 7 winners 20 UE
Murray 4 winners 7 UE

Awful.

He's definitely not well physically, what a shame.

 

[Diprosalic]

i expected him to lose in this tournament, although earlier to semi-tank for the USO.

 

[MIMIC]

lol Djokovic awful in this match. Struggling to win points, let alone games.

Murray to his credit is just chugging along, doing his thing.

 

[rando14]

Yeah Djokovic has looked tired this whole match. Already down a break, not looking good.

 

[Diprosalic]

Yeah Djokovic has looked tired this whole match. Already down a break, not looking good.

i just noticed that my stream is way behind lol.

 

[clemenx]

Boo this tourney. Another retirement.

 

[MIMIC]

Just heard that Djoker retired

Djokovic should have just skipped Cincy.

 

[zero_suit]

Murray avenged his loss at Rome.

 

[Diprosalic]

just makes me appreciate federer even more, dude never retired during a match and he did , what djokovic did this year, for years.

 

[rando14]

Ah what a disappointing final, but I hope Djokovic is okay. Needs some R&R before he takes the US Open I guess.

 

[Sax Russel]

Damn, he could have waited another minute and maybe had a massive rain delay, lol... He's probably way too out of gas for just a rain delay to fix though, *sigh* Oh well, hope he rests up well for the Open

Nah, he would've lost anyway. He was down 3-0.

 

[chessnut]

That last game in the first set was a big blow for Djokovic. 1 point away from forcing a deuce, and if he won the game it would've been 5-5. Oh well, I just hope he's ready for the US Open.

 

[Nemo]

Didn't watch the final, but hearing he retired is horrible to hear. Hope he'll be fit again by US Open

Murray must feel pretty bad as well winning like this

edit, shoulder injury? Damn, he better have stopped before it got real bad, recovery in a week might be hard

 

[Hootie]

more like JOKE-ovic, amirite or amirite?

 

[Speevy]

Andy Murray is all fired up now, it's gonna really suck when he loses again.

 

[chessnut]

more like JOKE-ovic, amirite or amirite?

not as good as: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qlo9-SfcxQ

 

[Wes]

I didn't see the match, was Djokovic laboring before he retired? The scoreline suggests Murray was just about besting him.

 

[clemenx]

This women finals has been better than the mens open!

Masha! She still can't serve for shit, lol.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Pathetic match. Verdasco Nadal worst match of the year so far.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Pathetic match. Verdasco Nadal worst match of the year so far.

you need to stop being ashamed of your football program at UNT and support them in college football GAF.

 

[d+pad]

Pathetic match.

Which one? The men's final or the women's?

RE: the men's final -- I think it's all sorts of wrong that Novak quit when he did. I'd rather he defaulted the final entirely than retire with Murray staring at the finish line. Oh, well, what can you do?

I agree, BTW, that this kind of thing should make folks further respect what Federer and even Nadal did before this year (i.e., play and win a ton of matches in a single year).

As for the women's final: Ugh. On the one hand, you have to give props to Sharapova for having the guts that she does. Most players would have folded completely after choking the first set away like she did today. Instead, she soldiered on and somehow pulled off the win. On the other hand, though, she may be the stubbornist -- in a bad way -- player I've ever seen. Who the hell goes for a huge first serve on break point after having already hit two DFs in a game? She sure has guile and will, etc., but not always smarts.

Ah, well, she has three Grand Slam titles and I have none, so I guess it's easy for me to criticize

Anyway, the US Open sure is going to be interesting. Novak and Serena are still by far the favorites, IMO, but even they are surrounded by questions. It'll be very interesting to see which two players walk away with the trophy in three weeks...

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

We are out of the high school stadium now!!! I'll see you in the thread, been lurking there all offseason.

 

[MIMIC]

U.S. Open draw comes out at 12pm EST (iirc).

I wanna make the U.S. Open thread. ^_^ It's been a long time since I wasn't banned during a slam! =p

 

[Diprosalic]

i just wanted to aks who's gonna open the USO thread.

Nadal - Federer
Djokovic - Murray

please.

 

[Peru]

I'm absolutely exhausted after the three Slams this year so I don't know how much energy I'll have for this Open.

 

[Diprosalic]

no way, slam weeks are best weeks. i haven't missed a single federer GS match.

 

[MIMIC]

Djoker preparing for the U.S. Open:

[Diprosalic]

i like that he's such a goof-ball. i think it's great for the sport after the two classy and humble guys. this is what tennis needs a bit more excitement.

 

[Peru]

Well it doesn't help that no slam goes the way I want it to.. I'll get sucked in again, though.

 

[Diprosalic]

oh yeah, this year wans't that great for me either. as a federer fan winning is every thing that matters.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I make US open thread this weekend. No later than Saturday morning. Cuz I got glandular fever like Fed.

 

[Peru]

I think MIMIC is first in line.

agreed, as much as I like Federer, he's just a boring person

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Damn. Maria looks amazing.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Hurricane probably gonna mess up the Us Open like the past few years.

 

[Diprosalic]

ugh yeah, federer is fucked

 

[ghstwrld]

Women's draw
Men's draw

 

[tycoonheart]

Hoping for Tomic vs Federer in the 3rd round.

Lets see what the Aussie kid's got.

 

[The Last Wizard]

oh yeah, this year wans't that great for me either. as a federer fan winning is every thing that matters.

As a Djokovic fan it's been great

Hurricane probably gonna mess up the Us Open like the past few years.

I hope not, last year we got screwed by the wind and then the final with the rain delays

 

[Smellycat]

I don't want to jinx Federer, but his draw looks good through the quarters (I don't see Harrison, Cilic or Stepanek beating him) then he might be facing Fish or Tsonga. Fish would be a crowd favorite, and Tsonga has beaten Federer the last couple of times. (he is injured though...)

I wanted a Federer-Nadal SF and then hopefully a Federer Djokovic final. But the draw is always rigged for a potential Federer Nadal final.
