US Open 2012

[The Wengerbabies]

Nadal has pulled out :rose:

May as well give up with real tennis and just keep getting his +1s at the French.

[Cripps_orig]

Predictions

Murray and Serena

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal loses over 1000 points from just that, he's going to be No.5 or something when he stops being dead.

[Cripps_orig]

Whats wrong with him?

Does that mean Murray has a clear route to the final? Or is the draw different for the US Open?

[The Wengerbabies]

Whats wrong with him?

Does that mean Murray has a clear route to the final? Or is the draw different for the US Open?

His knees are fucked.

Murray could play either Federer or Djokovic in the semis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray would have either Federer or Djokovic in the semi-final, the rest is up to the draw. Del Potro is going to be a QF opponent in all likelihood though, if not fourth round.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal :rose:.

A shame that all the top guys won't be there.

He was probably treated by the Arsenal medical team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is on Fed's side of the draw.

Fed vs D Young.
Muzza vs Bogomolov, Jr.
Del Potro vs Nalbandian. :popcorn:

Potential Del Potro vs Djokovic QF. :popcorn:

[The Wengerbabies]

Interesting :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Li Na vs Watson.
Kerber vs Keothavong. :rose:
Robson will be against some pub team qualifier I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Possibly Wozniacki vs Ivanovic in the Fourth Round. :haha: Winner would play Serena in all likelihood.

Azarenka vs Lisicki at that stage too possibly. :popcorn:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Predictions

Murray and Serena

X2

[Master Splinter]

Murray lost to that pub-teamer last year. :lol:

Watson and Keothavong :rose:.


My predictions:

Azarenka and Federer.

[Master Splinter]

Konta qualified for the main draw: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/19377164

Aussie-Brits :bow:.

Aussies :haha:.

[Cripps_orig]

3 british dudes lost in the qualifiers

Ward was one of them

More importantly. will Marray and his Danish partner whose name i cant remember and therefore will call him Bendtner be at the US open?

[Master Splinter]

Marray and Nielsen should be playing at the US Open, yes. Doubles draw available next week.

Singles draws here: http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/draws/ms/r1s1.html

[Master Splinter]

Order of play for tomorrow:

http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/schedule/index.html?promo=subnav

Murray should start at around 17:30-18:00.

Federer should start at around 01:30-02:00.

Watson v Li Na first up on Court 17.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Tennis :bow: best sport ever.

[Master Splinter]

Tennis :bow: best sport ever.

Pretty much.

Good to have a founding member of the GW Tennis Society back on board. Charlie :bow:.

[Cripps_orig]

Tennis is a bit shit until the 4th round/Quarters of the Slams tbh

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Pretty much.

Good to have a founding member of the GW Tennis Society back on board. Charlie :bow:.

No problem.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic and Clijsters. Bit brave on the second one but sod it, it's her last Slam (supposedly) thus I won't need to predict her again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme starts now. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Annabel Croft and Greg Rusedski are next to the practice courts.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watson vs Li Na will be Sky's main match - five other matches behind the red button. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lisicki is up a break against Cirstea. 3-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sam Smith is there. :lol:

Nishikori leads 3-0 against Andreozzi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stosur is also 3-0 against Martic. I thought about choosing Stosur to defend her title but both the singles' players defending their titles? Unlikely tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cirstea breaks back, 2-2 against Lisicki. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori is serving for the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Nishkori takes the first set 6-1. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stosur is serving for the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stosur takes the first set 6-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lisicki breaks and will serve for the first set. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Li Na is up 4-2 against Watson. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lisicki takes the first set against Cirstea 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Li Na takes the first set 6-2.

Watson. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blake takes the first set against Lacko 7-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watson breaks and leads 3-1 in the second set!

[Master Splinter]

Watson breaks to go 3-1 up in the second set!

Li Na has been the much better player though, so can't see this break lasting long.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stosur wins 6-1 6-1.

Martic. :lol:

Muzza will be out on court soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Li Na does indeed break straight back. Fun whilst it lasted.

[Master Splinter]

Do Eurosport only have access to one court?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think so, as do Sky. Sky have the red button but all that coverage is from the host broadcaster (behind the red button Li Na vs Watson doesn't have any commentary). If it isn't the host broadcaster it is some crappy American broadcaster anyway.

Nishikori took the second set against Andreozzi 6-2. 2-0 he leads.

Cirstea took the second set 6-2 against Lisicki. :doh: 1-1 there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pliskova took the first set against Gorges 7-6 (7-4).

Three break points for Li Na.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Li Na breaks to love, 4-3 in the second set.

[Master Splinter]

Andreozzi is a true pub-teamer and JSAO's Son is duly treating him like one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blake takes the second set against Lacko 6-2. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sam Smith is obsessed with pointing out how twitchy people get trying to close matches out. I think that's called transference.

[Master Splinter]

Blake :bow:.

If he wins he's got an English mother.

If he loses he's a Yank.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's looking a bit grim at Flushing Meadows tbf.

Also, JSAO's son. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Rain :doh:.

FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And down comes the rain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's hammering it down. :haha:

Wimbledon. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Todd Martin looked about 58 when he was playing.

He looks about 82 now.

US TV seem to have put him in the dingiest hovel available.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Rain :doh:.

FFS.

Just turned over and Saw Fed vs Novak and was like WTF did not know they met in the 1st round.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think in one of the Masters there should be an open draw, well ok maybe open from the Quarter-finals. The organisers wouldn't lose too much of the sponsor's backing then.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That return from Djokovic last year. :haha:

Absolutely ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky are showing the the 1980 US Open final between McEnroe and Borg. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's sunny again. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza is on court in about five minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Bogomolov. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bogomolov breaks and leads 1-0 in the first set.

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

Murray pubbing it up.

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

Worst smash ever.

:haha:

What a match so far :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FFS Muzza. 75mph second serve and it still hit the net!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1, Bog to serve. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Women's tennis :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Murray :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Li Na and Watson are out on court now.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

2-2. :doh:

Pub team players :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza. :haha: Jesus wept.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OMG.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is the worst match I've ever seen.

[Master Splinter]

Li Na with three match points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Li Na wins 6-2 6-3.

Watson. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Li Na wins 6-2 6-3.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Li Na wins 6-2 6-3.

Watson. :rose:

ffs hev :doh:

[Master Splinter]

First service game held :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Balotelli beats Hampton 6-3 7-6 (7-5).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balotelli. :bow:

She's just as nuts as Bartoli.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza breaks, 4-2 in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cirstea breaks and leads 2-0 in the third set.

Lisicki. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza takes the first set 6-2. :lol:

Petchey has stolen Wenget's engine metaphor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bogomolov breaks at the start of the second set, 1-0. :lol:

Net cords, alwful dropshots, smashing it miles away. Classic match.

[Master Splinter]

Georges is in trouble too. 7-6 (7-4) 4-1 down against Pliskova.

Germans :lol:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray had 28% 1st serves in for the first set. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray shouldn't be allowed to progress from this match on the grounds of crimes against tennis.

Also, Goerges and Lisicki would've met in the Third Round I think. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Lisicki, again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lisicki goes for the crouch shot but hits the net.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cirstea holds, Lisicki is serving to stay in the match at 2-5. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Pliskova beats Georges 7-6 (7-4) 6-1!

Georges :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three match points for Cirstea!

[Master Splinter]

Three match points for Cirstea!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two match points remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cirstea wins 4-6 6-2 6-2!

The Germans. :haha:

Dids. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Lisicki :haha:.

Germans :haha:.

Dids :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Nishikori wins 6-1 6-2 6-4.

JSAO :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Bogomolov has won one second serve point all match.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-4 Bogomolov, Muzza to serve.

I didn't think I would be hearing Petchey say 'too good' during this match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacko is serving to stay in the match against Blake.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he does so, Blake to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blake wins 7-5 6-2 3-6 6-3! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray breaks back, 4-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Muzza.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray hits the net, court all there at his mercy. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Murray again. Just get this over with, please.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray takes the second set 6-4. One set away, hopefully.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dodig is taking apart JSAO's third son, Moriya. :rose:

Murray breaks and leads 2-0 in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bogomolov breaks back. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray has cramp. :lol:

This is so poor.

[Cripps_orig]

Not seen any of the match and only read what been posted on here but i assume its fair to say that despite Muzza being 2 sets up, hes having a shocker?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It has been shit. Really, really shit.

Still Murray leads 4-1 now so hopefully it will be over soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is serving for the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray wins 6-2 6-4 6-1.

That wasn't tennis.

[Cripps_orig]

Looks like Murray will play Dodig of Croatia who is 2 sets and a break up v one of JSAOs sons

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sharapova vs Czink is up next.

[Master Splinter]

Dodig is taking apart JSAO's third son, Moriya. :rose:



Third son?

What about Go Soeda and Ito?

[Cripps_orig]

Just seen Murrays quarter of the draw

If he doesnt make the Quarter Finals piss easy then he should be sacked.

Then come Tsonga most likely, Federer in the Semi and Djokovic in the final

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Third son?

What about Go Soeda and Ito?

I counted Go.

Ito. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rusedski is sweating buckets. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rusedski is a pervert.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Granollers beat Kudla 6-3 4-6 6-3 7-6 (7-2). He will face Blake next.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sharapova takes the first set 6-2. :lol:

She has released her own brand of sweets apparently. :rolleyes:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

She has released her own brand of sweets apparently. :rolleyes:

Wonder what they are called Sour babies/Face like a slapped wine gum.

[Cripps_orig]

Probably the best looking/tasting sweets around

[GP]

Wonder what they are called Sour babies/Face like a slapped wine gum.

It's called Sugarpova :lol:

http://shop.sugarpova.com/

Raonic took the first set against Giraldo 6-3. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berdych takes the first set 7-5. Goffin had so many break point opportunities in that set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ivanovic beat Svitolina 6-3 6-2. She will face Advidsson next who beat JSAO's daughter 6-4 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giraldo took the second set against Raonic 6-4. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berdych breaks and will serve for the second set.

Azarenka is up a break against Flipkens already. :lol:

2-1 she leads.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer breaks and leads Anderson in the first set 3-2. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka takes the first set 6-2. Her scream isn't quite as potent here with the action sounding like miles away from the commentators.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer takes the first set 6-4. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka wins 6-2 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrer takes the second set 6-2. Looking good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hewitt currently two sets to one up against Kamke.

Kvitova on the verge of beating Cornet.

[Master Splinter]

Jonathan Overend ‏@5livetennis (http://twitter.com/5livetennis)


Great rant from Malisse at Carlos Ramos ending with; "same every match, we get 20 seconds, Nadal gets 45 seconds"


Malisse f****** this and that... Not good to hear through on-air mics... "you guys are hilarious" he tells Ramos. Calls a lino a "jackass"

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malisse. :bow:

Shame he'll be going out soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvitova is serving for the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvitova wins 6-4 6-3. Kvitova needs a few night sessions if she's going to do anything significant in this tournament really - assuming it stays sunny.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malisse took the third set 7-5 against Isner.

Me. :bow:

Still trails 2-1 though.

[Master Splinter]

Come on Xavier :bow:.

It is delaying Clijsters v Robbo though.

Which will likely be pretty easy for Kim.

[Master Splinter]

I know Ach's a fan of Marray and Bendtner. They beat Fognini and Cipolla 7-5 6-3 in the first round of the men's doubles.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Potro is on now, against Serra. Nalbandian is injured so Serra is a Lucky Loser, well if you can call it that playing JMDP.

[Master Splinter]

Isner won 7-6 (11-9) in the fourth against Mental Malisse.

Hewitt beat Kamke 4-6 6-2 6-1 6-4.

5-5 between The Robbster and Clijsters. Clijsters was 5-2 up.

[Master Splinter]

Two set points for Clijsters.

[Master Splinter]

They were saved.

Deuce now.

[Master Splinter]

After about ten deuces, Robson holds.

Tie-break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robson takes the first set!

[Master Splinter]

Robson takes it 7-4!! :bow:

She's been out-hitting Clijsters.

[Master Splinter]

It is delaying Clijsters v Robbo though.

Which will likely be pretty easy for Kim.

Master Splinter :haha:.

Robbo :bow:.

[Cripps_orig]

Clijsters is a set away from retirement....again

[McNamara That Ghost...]

My prediction.

:rose:

[Master Splinter]

Clijsters just saved two break points to avoid going 4-2 down in the second.

Playing with Murray has improved Robson's movement and net play.

[Master Splinter]

Robson playing brilliantly :bow:.

She's even throwing in drop-shots :lol:.

It's amazing how she looks like a genuine top player with that improvement in her movement.

[Master Splinter]

Sam Smith gets a name-drop on US TV :scarf:.

[Master Splinter]

Clijsters serving to stay in the.......tennis world.

[Master Splinter]

Clijsters holds. Just.

5-5.

[Master Splinter]

Robson fluffs a smash!

Break point for Clijsters.

[Master Splinter]

Robson survives and Clijsters is serving to stay in the match again.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Robson playing well or is kim playing bad ?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two match points!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

2 match points

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One match point remaining.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

1 saved

[McNamara That Ghost...]

An ace brings up deuce. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's tiebreak time again.

[Master Splinter]

Robson playing well or is kim playing bad ?

Robson playing very well.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Robson playing very well.

Well done Laura.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-3 Robson to serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-4. :popcorn:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

5-5

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a shot from Robson! Match point! And on her own serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robson wins! :bow:

When did she become the female Nadal?

Clijsters. :haha:

Me. :haha:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

She does it well done Laura :bow;

Bye Kim

[Master Splinter]

Robson :bow: :bow:.

Murray :bow:.

Clijsters :bow: :bow:.:bow:.

Great champion/person/mum.

She'll probably be back in a few months.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Robson wins! :bow:

When did she become the female Nadal?

Clijsters. :haha:

Me. :haha:


You cannot be serious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

Not really but it was a good impression of his whipped forehand to bring up match point.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You cannot be serious.

That's McEnroe.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

That's McEnroe.

That was the joke yes.

[Marc Overmars]

Robbo. :bow:

Teaming up with Muzza has done her good.

[Master Splinter]

Gasquet beat Montanes 4-6 6-2 6-3 6-3.

Li Na beat Dellacqua 6-4 6-4. She's Robson's next victim.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Robbo. :bow:

Teaming up with Muzza has done her good.

You know Muzza wanted to Smash her back doors in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stosur beat Gallovits-Hall 6-3 6-0. :lol:

She will play Lepchenko next. Winner of that plays the winner of Li Na vs Robson.

[Cripps_orig]

Robson :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sharapova vs Dominguez Lino is on now.

[Cripps_orig]

Anyone staying up for Murray?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think I will be. Having said that I am not expecting this one to go on for longer than an hour.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sharapova is already up a break, 2-0.

[Master Splinter]

Sharapova won 6-0 6-1.

Balotelli beat Oprandi 6-2 1-6 7-5.

Stosur beat Gallovits 6-3 6-0.


Murray currently 6-2 2-0 up against Dodig. He's constantly nailing Dodig's serve.

[Master Splinter]

Murray crushes Dodig 6-2 6-1 6-3.

That wasn't the same guy who pubbed it up against Bogomolov.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ivanovic beat Arvidsson 6-2 6-2.
Jankovic beat Vecino 6-4 6-2, she will face Suarez-Navarro or Radwanska next.

Tsonga took the second set 6-1...he's 4-0 down in the third though. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Almagro beats Petzschner 6-3 5-7 5-7 6-4 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Klizan takes the third set 6-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tsonga is having an absolute mare, 4-0 down in the fourth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Klizan!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Well served by Tsonga.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Klizan. Second match point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Klizan wins 6-4 1-6 6-1 6-3!

Who the hell is Johanna Konta?

Apparently shes some unheard of Brit dudette.

Lost 2-6 6-2 7-5. to Hlebs sister

She was 5-2 uo in the 3rd set as well :lol:

Serena won 6-2 6-4

[Master Splinter]

Konta :doh:.

She's an Aussie who became a Brit earlier this year. She has lived and trained here for a while, though. The Aussie was strong in her in this match.

Aussies :haha:.

Crocodile Dundee :haha:.

Karl Kennedy :haha:.

Skippy :haha:.

Federer strolled past Phau 6-2 6-3 6-2 in 90 minutes.

Jimmy Wang is a Tennis player now?

[Master Splinter]

A sub-pub-team special between Kerber and Venus.

First five games all against serve. Kerber eventually took the first set 6-2.

2-0 to Kerber in the second set and Venus still hasn't held her serve.

[Cripps_orig]

Venus should retire tbh

Or just be a doubles player

Her illness has finished her career

[Master Splinter]

Jimmy Wang is a Tennis player now?

Wang Yeu-tzuoo is his real name but he seems to go by 'Jimmy' now.

[Master Splinter]

Her illness has finished her career

Apart from some Wimbledon +1s, she's been below her best for many years now.

Her smashes today are shocking.

Her serve is worse.

[Master Splinter]

Venus finally holds. :bow: :scarf:

[Master Splinter]

Venus somehow takes the second set 7-5.

What a strange match.

[Master Splinter]

Kerber comes through to win 6-2 5-7 7-5.

That was Murray v Bogomolov amplified.

16 double faults and 60 unforced errors from Venus. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Roddick announced his imminent retirement yesterday, like Clijsters, it will occur when he loses during this tournament.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Li Na vs Robson is on now.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Roddick announced his imminent retirement yesterday, like Clijsters, it will occur when he loses during this tournament.

Feel soz for him seemed like he'd dominate but then came along Feds, Nads and Nov's and Muzza and he never stood a chance.
