2018 US Open tennis

[Jive Turkey 12617]

Damn.  This is tense.

[LonghornGoodfella 114]

Just a wow if we happen to see Nadal and Federer knocked out in back to back night sessions. 

[satyanash 14528]

Thiem not giving in. Incredible stuff

[spystud13 2371]

5 dudes, 1 chick in that suite. 

[spystud13 2371]

Rafa has dueling ball kids bringing him towels. 

[spystud13 2371]

Any of you kids still up? 5-all

[spystud13 2371]

0-40 to Ad on DT’s serve. 

[spystud13 2371]

Wow, what a fucking hold. 

[spystud13 2371]

Breaker for the semis. 

[Napoleon 8687]

I walked the dog after the 4th set tie-breaker and hit pause. 

Didnt catch up with LIVE feed until 2-1 in the 5th set tie-breaker, but I’m back!

[Napoleon 8687]

Indian man can’t watch. 

[spystud13 2371]

Man, this is a great breaker. 

[Napoleon 8687]

Indian man is ecstatic as Nadal takes it to 6-5. 

[spystud13 2371]

Holy fuck, DT blew an overhead sitter for ballgame. Of all the fucking shots to fuck up. 

[IPoopOnWhoop 104]

VAMOS RAFA!!!!!

[Napoleon 8687]

Fucking STUPID slam by Thiem to lose the match. 

Rafa does his best Delpo imitation to absorb the crowd. 

PS- Rafa’s girl gets better and better looking in the face, though her body is probably slowly going downhill.

She is blisteringly skinny. I like skinny, I like Kiki, but she is Skeletor-thin. 

[Napoleon 8687]

When I watched Delpo in 2016 and was wearing an albiceleste striped poncho and waved an Argentina flag, security came over and told me “no flags”. The albiceleste was fine, but no flags. 

Obviously that policy has changed.

Yeah, to keep a good face, frequently the body suffers. Usually the girl gets too thin, but some women need to put on weight to save the face. Either way, it’s sad to see a nice body slip away. 

[perfectchaos007 6672]

John millman has a hot looking girlfriend as well based on what I saw last night. Roger Federer’s wife is......well at least they’re happy 

[Bodowned 763]

Nadal & Fed over the last 2 years have the exact same win %. Crazy stuff.

Osaka murdered Tsurenko, she’s the best chance for a Serena upset.

Already crushed her earlier this year at Serena’s home tournament in Miami

[Napoleon 8687]

Kei Nishikori was up a break in the 5th set over Cilic, but Cilic just broke back down 2-4 in the 5th.

C- 6 4 6(5) 6 3

N- 2 6 7(7) 4 4

I haven't been watching, but they are 3hr 57mins into the match.

Nishikori should have challenged once or twice already (according to the broadcasters) and not it is 30-40.

[spystud13 2371]

Cilic serving @ 3-4, deuce in the 5th against Kei. 

Edited September 5, 2018 by spystud13
Like Nap said.

[spystud13 2371]

Holds for 4-all. 

[spystud13 2371]

Kei breaks for the win. 

[LonghornGoodfella 114]

Glad to see Kei get the win. But he’s going to have nothing left in the tank next round against most likely Novak. 

I would say we’re prolly looking at another Nole/Rafa final, but Nadal has spent a lot of time on court and I think Del Potro has an excellent shot at taking him out.

I shall be pulling for Delpo, along with the Boys from Tandil in Delpo's suite for the match.

Nike is probably wondering why there is an adidas jersey in their box, but he's drowned out by at least 4 Swooshes.

 

[LonghornGoodfella 114]

For those of us a little older, i still miss the old format of the Super Saturday at the Open where they started at 11 am CST and had both Men's semi-finals, followed by the women's final. Obviously with the heat there and player safety, it's better formatted now, but for tennis fans, that Super Saturday of viewing was the shit!

I was thinking about how ridiculous that was sometime within the last 24 hours.

It used to be:

1st MEN'S SEMIFINAL

WOMEN'S FINAL 

2nd MEN'S SEMIFINAL

Then eventually, after some of the 2nd Men's Semifinals absolutely destroyed the winner for the Final the next day, along with the surge in interest in women's tennis, the US Open moved the Women's Final to the 3rd Match. But how ridiculous is it to have a 5 set match end at 8pm+ and then expect there to be a good final the following day?

PS- Madison Keys took the first set of her Quarterfinal 6-4.

[LonghornGoodfella 114]

Yeah I think you meant to say the 1st semi-finalist through destroyed the 2nd one since they did finish late in night. And of course that 2nd men’s semi was the always the better matchup so it usually went long. Brutal 

[Napoleon 8687]

Madison won over Suarez Navarro: 6-4 6-3

I didn't see the first set, but if it weren't for the unforced errors by Keys, I could see her easily winning the second set 6-0.

She was far superior to the Spaniard, but just hit lots of bad shots that were good ideas, just poor execution. Usually potential "winners" that just smashed into the net or went long by 6 inches or more.

Madison can pound the ball, but I don't know if she has the game plan nor the mental toughness to threaten Serena if they both make it to the final.

[spystud13 2371]

 Nope, that’s why we need Naomi tomorrow night. 

[perfectchaos007 6672]

Naomi has some serious demons to exercise against Keys at the US Open. The last time they played was brutal to watch

[perfectchaos007 6672]

Sevastova gave up after losing the first set. shame

[spystud13 2371]

Naomi takes he first @ 2. 

[Napoleon 8687]

The half-black girl is kicking the half-black girl’s ass!

[spystud13 2371]

Alright Naomi, good luck Saturday. 

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

She's adorable.

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

Naomi's message to Serena: "I love you?" 😂

[perfectchaos007 6672]

Yeah that’s a typical Osaka interview. She’s great

[LonghornGoodfella 114]

Nadal and Delpo about to start. I’m pulling for JDP here but I think Nadal having 2 days off to rest will really help him in this match. Either way I expect it to go 4 possibly 5

[spystud13 2371]

Mike Bryan & Sock won the men’s doubles title. First one for Mike without Bob, I assume?

I think slam wise yes. Anyhow good for Sock he has a Bryan in doubles bc he absolutely blows in singles this year 

[spystud13 2371]

Melanie Oudin being a Slam winner with Sock in mixed will never not amaze me. 

[spystud13 2371]

del Po misses a crosscourt backhand on set point. 

[spystud13 2371]

And Rafa breaks for 5-all. 

[spystud13 2371]

del Po finally takes the first in a breaker. 

[satyanash 14528]

Stuck at work in pouring rain... take it home, delPo!
