U.S. Open 2009

just because i didn't see a thread about it.

the oudin > sharapova match was one of the better female tennis matches i've seen. oudin is a sick hero

anyways i want roddick to win the males single, and i have a feeling that if he doesn't have to play federer, he's gonna win it.

anyways, comments? predictions?

That tall dude will win.

fuck that. go roddick!

murray obv

I wanna see Federer win 20+ majors before he retires.

Federer all the way baby. So much class. Classiest guy ever.

I hope for Federer but Nadal looked sick strong in the first game (haven't seen anything since then).

was pretty exciting but really really low quality play, especially from sharapova. lol 21 double faults thats gotta be a record or something??

lol

better female tennis matches i've seen

21 double faults

does not compute

i don't really watch lady tennis so i guess it really isn't saying much

i guess the no.1 seed for ladies got upset also though

oudin v petrova right now

Söderling advances to QF! :-)

Waiting for Monfils vs Nadal and Del Potro vs Murray.
GJ Pennetta on winning the match (second set) after saving 6 match points.

federer is about to play

it's on CBS for those interested

glad to see clijsters beat venus williams. would have liked to see jankovic get far again this year, but didn't unfortunately. i am liking Na Li this year tho.

del potro is playing ferrero next. should be a good match.

as always gonna root for federer just cause he's got mad class and is an incredible player.

die andy murray die die die.

rooting for nadal vs fed finals, would prefer nadal winning i think, but god i love roger, as long as andy doesnt win i dont mind.

i kinda watch djokovic to take it (now that roddick is out obv). he played good tonight.

but obv fed is gonna win it now. nadal isn't playing his best so i doubt he'll even make it to the finals, but we'll see how good of a condition he's in tomorrow

so sad about the american men so I want to see rodge podge take it down. And of course Oudin on the women's side. Actually watched her at Wimbledon two years ago when she was in the Girls' tourney.

Murray definitely won't win. He's simply outmatched by Federer, Nadal, and possibly even Djokovic

Murray just lost to Cilic.

in straight sets

Oudin time!

this one seems to be getting far

gogo you

oudin played pretty bad in that last match

good run, or run good?

nadal's match last night was really good up until the 3rd set when milfits was just too tired to really do anything

fed's on right now but i'm probably not gonna watch it because i already know he's gonna win

guess I'm rooting for caroline now because she's hot.

rain delay joke

Go Caroline Wozniacki, first danish player to ever reach the semis of a grand slam, she will go to the finals but lose it to Williams

raaaaaaaaaaaain. prob not til tomorrow but they're hoping it stops raining.

hope nadal takes it down!

the match has resumed

bageled

that was easy

serena is out

Yeah that is great, now Caroline has a chance to win it

did you see how it ended!

that was such a rediculously bad call by the line person, who calls that there.

if she stepped on the line, she stepped on it. how is that a bad call

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA stupid serena deserved it

They showed the unmuted footage after they bleeped out all the profanity. She definitely said something about shoving the ball down the lineswoman's throat lol

look at 41 seconds, she is near the line, but there is no way you should call it when it's a matter of millimeters and the entire match rides on it

theres no way you can tell from that angle...they never had a good angle of it on tv.

why shouldnt it be called? a foot fault is a pretty clear cut rule. she shouldnt get leniency on a black and white rule just bcuz of the situation of the match. that would be unfair to her opponent.

Caroline fan club growing each day

its like calling a foul on the last 4 seconds of basketball/football game... refs will never call it

so anyone think moneyline on djoko vs federer is good? paying almost 5-1 to djoko and djoko federer recent stats is 4-4 , what da flip, total 8-4 for federer but the extra 4 was before djoko being top 10 player

link please

How about this foot fault to end a match? :-P

lol at 5-6 in a tie-break in the final set, pretty sick

nadal is losing right now to del potro

Del Potro's tennis is impressive

fed vs joker right now

U CAN WATCH THE LAST SHOT OF FEDERER-- UNFU**BELIAVABLE gg Roger
The whole stadium was applausing this shot

I have a good feeling about Del Potro for some reason... he looked real good

the wh00sel's vid shows a challenger series which is a really low pro tour and that was the final. so this guy is like trying to grind out a living and this dude pulls a foot fault on match point which he's playing for rent money, LOLOL sickest tilt. what's really funny about that video is the calm quiet announcer.

djoko/federer was such a sick match. really wish novak would have won a set so we could see more. here's the shot of the match and probably the tourney:

On September 13 2009 19:00 JonnyCosMo wrote: I have a good feeling about Del Potro for some reason... he looked real good

hes an animal. def going to be rogers toughest test of the tourney. 6'6 guy with good groundstrokes, sick long reach, good power, good from both sides, dynamic serve and just a killer on hardcourts.

there were a ton of horrible calls by the line judges imo. probably wouldn't have affected the outcome but it must've put djokovic on tilt

I don't think the game vs Djoko was easy.It was quite close in the 1st set and on couple occasions in the later sets.
The truth is that Fed is just unstopable on hard(this is the best Djoko's surface also) so cannot see how Del Potro can win this.
He will be satisfied with his 2nd place Grand Slam finish.Nadal's game sux quite hard vs Del Potro's style but vs Fed he will have alot more troubles

Roger Federer is so awesome. <3 him.

come on woz you can do it! 4-2 clijsters second set.

oh well caroline is still #1 in my heart.

that federer shot is so fucking SICK

Roger all the way baby !

Nadal was injured though...

Big bet on Federer tonight, he'll take it down FOH SHO

it starts in like half an hour, right? :o

It has already started.. Federer 3:0 Del Potro

yeah

http://www.veetle.com/viewChannel.php?cid=4aadf6878364f

stream w/ very high quality (just install veetvl first)

del potro has some nerves and federer taking full advantage of it.

neither players first serve going in very often, this is the time to be pounding your opponent with first serves while the sun is all messed up, once it passes the court it will be easier for returners.

federer wins first set 6-3

its over already lol

this game played right now is pretty sweet

way too many unforced errors by del potro so far

yeah del potro isn't playing his best. probably intimidation factor.

grrrrrrrrr

fed's serve is gross right now. del potro on set point, wtf.

very important tie break now o.o

go federer

Del Potro wins second set 7-6(7-5)

wow he won a set. this should be interesting now

nooooooo

Come on Federer!!

this stadium is fucking huge :D

I think it was Del Potro who stated it's the biggest stadium in the world so he likes to play at the US open a lot.

lol at fed raging at the judge

6-4 3rd set gogo Fed

Federer wins third set 6-4

Game over !!

weee

Was that two double faults by potro?

shitty nerves perhaps?

TID FED!

oh crap, this could go to a 5th set

exciting now ;o

break plz

YES

Now steamroll to victory please

this is so intense

every point matters so much

plz dont break

come on Federer 1 more game, you can do it

Sick intense

BREAK NOW PLEASE

Drama !!!

double fault omg

wtf bad referee

fucking unreal

lol wtf is going on. umpire/judges are really bad this year

can someone tell me what that was about (5-2 point that was out)

NOOOOOO

come on roger!

fuck

i mean what are the rules. isnt federer allowed to question if it was out/in=?

commentator here said they should put the guy that called the ball out as linesmen lol

it's a matter of how much time they have before they aren't allowed to challange

usually they don't have more than 5 or so seconds to decide whether they want to challange or not

yeah but Del Potro takes longer than this all the time and now it isnt allowed so fuck the ref

agreed this ref sucks

pinball how much did you bet on Federer? =)

It was called too late they said on TV. So yes, you're allowed to challenge, but apparently when it's too long in between it harms the serving player, since he has to refocus for 2nd serve or something. The ref said Del Potro had to redo his 1st serve (which is pretty rediculous imo, since it was out). The initial problem was that someone in the public screamed it was out, Fed thought it was the line-ref and stopped playing.

In a previous game, Del Potro claimed that one of the line refs waved that something was wrong or something, and thus didn't return Fed's serve (which was an ace). Del Potro complained and Roger replayed his serve out of courtesy. I'd say Del Potro shouldnt be complaining about his first serve in that tie-break point.

Anyway, final set now, hope Fed wins this.

FUCK

COME ON FEDERER

rebreak pls

i started out this match rooting for del potro cause i figured he needed help to do well.

well i have changed my mind. is it just me or are the vast vast majority of sportsmen from romance language countries WHINE INCESSANTLY ALL THE FUCKING TIME. i fucking hate goddamn whining.

WAR FEDERER

nooo nooo ;o

now its all gone to shit

potro is playing good, and fed is playing subpar (many double faults, 5/22 break points)

i hope he doesn't cry when he loses

hes fucking up so much now, jesus christ

gg

Del Potro played well

gg

gg deserved win,Federer was not playin in the last 2 sets-no 1st service no winners nothing at all

wow, del potro improved alot after first set.
Bad first serve cost federer the match imo.
gg

amazing match

20 yrs old
sicko

roger such a class act

Del Potro played extremely well. Something got to Federer, it was so obvious beginning of the 5th set.
When saying great crowd and all that bs i'm sure they didn't mean the crowd present at the finals. There were some retards yelling at the wrong times. People not familiar with tennis tend to do that and especially in the finals but the idiots yelled stupid stuff when it mattered the most.

so sick -_-
gratz to Del Potro anyway
