US Open

Nole takes the 1st set :D

And an early break in the 2nd as well. He's on course for Sod/Fed
 
He really is a little psycho.

Monfis not doing much, trying to feed of Nole's mistakes mainly.
 
That's one thing that's really annoying about the USO. The wind! Lots of players complain about it.

And it's a double break
 
Monfils is disgracing himself out there. At least try to win and if the wind takes it long so be it. Still needs his head
 
At the end of 2009, Djokovic moved from adidas to Sergio Tacchini after signing a 10-year deal with the Italian clothing company, although he continues to endorse adidas shoes; wearing his signature ClimaCool Genius shoes.

Strange deal.
 
Monfils should have been in the top 5 for two or three seasons now. I am so disappointed with the way he unfolded; he basically relies on his physical abilities, playing a very defensive game with the odd ace. He had it all to be a great attacking type, but no one could harness his incredible potential.

Djokovic is a class act, doesn't hesitate to congratulate the opponent after good points even when he is in a tense situation. The simple claim he flattered to deceive since his AO win does not fully explain why the crowd is never really fond of him; there is something way deeper.

What? Don't say they hate him because he is Serbian.

I agree with Monfils, very defensive player.

About the crowd.. I thought the US fans love him? He has done a couple of on court cameos for their benefit, and I remember a lot of US media really taking to him.

Last but not least.... great win for Nole again. I've learnt to not expect too much from him these days but if he can get to the Final then he has every chance. Good luck to him.
 
Djokovic pissed the fans off after a Roddick match or something, I forget but he made up for it the next match by playing with McEnroe I think
 
Am I the only one who thinks Cibulkova is really hot? Steamy hot? People talk about other tennis players being hot, but she is the only one that I really think is beautiful.
She is just my type.:drool::drool:

Correct.

I think Roddick said something about Djokovic implying that he was milking his injuries and Djokovic publicly took exception to it. The crowd was just backing the American. They love Djokovic and his personality and will continue to do so.
 
I don´t think she´s hot.

I prefer Ivanovic, Sharapova, Wozniacki or Jankovic.

You are not alone and that is why I find it fascinating. I think she is appealing to just a few who appreciate women who look like her.
A lot of men find the above ladies sexy. The only one I will prefer from that list is Ivanovic.
See, Sharapova Wozniachi are just pretty to me. Cibulkova just looks sex.
 
Federer has so much experience with the wind that this game could be over in a flash
In saying that Soderling has a break point:nervous:
Ok. Federer is going to struggle?
Let me be more assertive then, Federer is going to struggle today. Ha that worked, an ace to erase third break point.
Hmm, now advantage Federer and game.
 
Non one except Rafa will trouble Fed I think. Just hope Rafa reaches the final though

Ah right, yeh he's had a few incidents with Roddick. He hasn't beaten him since that rant, lost something like 5 in a row :annoyed:
 
Good morning.

Federer was absolutely majestic yesterday. Hoping for a Fed-Nadal classic. Both are in their best form of the year.

Fed definitely is. Nadal was at his best in Paris :drool:

But this is certainly Nadal's best performance at the USO. He's playing his best Tennis ever in NYC.

Hope Nole takes out Fed though but with his lack of mental strength that's not happening.

Agree 100% petite, with really strong legs and pretty face. Nice rack too:p
 
Youzny breaks Wawrinka in the very first game. If Nadal does get past Verdasco today, Youzny would be a really hard opponent.

Oh well Wawrinka breaks back
 
The scheduling at the USO is a bit of a joke tbh. Tonight Hingis/Kourninova vs Wilander/Cash is on before Nadal vs Verdasco :confused:
 
1 set all now. Youzny takes the 2nd set tie break. The conditions really are horrendous with the wind over here. 68 unforced errors by the two of them in just 2 sets.

Federer hitting 18 aces vs Soderling in this strong wind was a really impressive feat.
 
Absolutely phenomenal performance by Nadal again considering the bloody wind. 7-5 6-3 6-4. In the semis against Youzny now. 3 semis in a row now at USO. Not too bad for his weakest surface eh?

His best chance to get to the finals this now.
