US Open 2018 (27 Aug- 9 Sept).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is on Amazon Prime. :popcorn:

No idea of the commentators so will be a surprise, or probably the same old voices.

Federer would face Djokovic in the quarter-finals if they both get there, of course and I'm not all that convinced with the Old Man at the moment.

Muzza is back! Duckworth for him.

Nadal has David Ferrer in his first round match. :wacko:

Djokovic starts with Fucsovics.

Fed starts with Nishioka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh FFS Rusedski. Why does he always have to be there?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Petchey is there though. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal wins 6-3 3-4 r over David Ferrer.

Pospisil next for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic is up 2-1 on Fucsovics in sets.

30 degrees celsisus plus in New York so on court it'd be worse I imagine.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic won in four.

Federer is up 6-2 and a double break on Nishioka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes the second set 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed wins 6-2 6-2 6-4. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arteta beat Muzza 7-5 2-6 6-4 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer beats Paire 7-5 6-4 6-4. :bow:

Kyrgios next for him. :sick:

[Goonermerree]

Is that all the Brits wiped out in the first two rounds?

[Mac76]

Federer beats Paire 7-5 6-4 6-4. :bow:

Kyrgios next for him. :sick:

Lets hope Kyrgios really gets in the smug git's face and puts him off his game... :ninja::fingers:

[Goonermerree]

Lets hope Kyrgios really gets in the smug git's face and puts him off his game... :ninja::fingers:

Not a Federer fan?

[Goonermerree]

Williams v Williams sibling rivalry!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal was down a break on Khachanov, he isn't now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Khachanov breaks and will serve for the first set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Petchey and Courier doing commentary for the Amazon UK coverage.

I'm happy with that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point Nadal. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant point from Khachanov, set point.

Courier taking about vampires, stakes through hearts and decapitation. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Second set point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bonkers saves from Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fourth set point. Sort it out Putin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Khachanov finally takes the first set 7-5! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Khachanov breaks!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Khachanov was broken back but has now broken again.

He will serve for the second set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal took the second set 7-5.

[Mac76]

Not a Federer fan?

You guessed! :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal won 5-7 7-5 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-3) in the end.

Serena hammers Venus 6-1 6-2.

[Goonermerree]

You guessed! :lol:

I don't like him either.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Keys beats Krunic 4-6 6-1 6-2.

Kyrgios v Fed next up on Ashe. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Early sight of Shankerer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

39 second long game from Kyrgios. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed saves three break points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer holds on, had to save a fourth break point in that time also.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed goes down the line, set point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kyrgios saves it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great slice pass from Fed to take the first set 6-4! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kyrgios whining like a little shit again. :sleep:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed with the drop shot. :bow:

Break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks and leads 2-0 in the second set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ridiculous dropshot from the Old Man. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GOATerer. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer breaks and leads 4-0 in the second set. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Insane movement on the court from Fed.

:wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kyrgios serving to avoid a bagel.

[Goonermerree]

Come on Fed. I don't like Fed much, but I like Kyrgios even less. Can't deny Fed is a great player though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two bagel points for the Old Man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Both saved. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kyrgios holds on, Fed to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer takes the second set 6-1. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three match points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old man Fed :bow:

https://mobile.twitter.com/usopen/status/1036070617089548288

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer is out. :doh:

Djokovic won.

[Goonermerree]

Fed can't go on forever. It's a shame to see him losing to lesser players like this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thiem and Nadal are in to a fifth set.

Thiem took the first set 6-0. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

In to a match deciding tiebreak.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal wins. FFS.

Del Porto surely has got this, this time?

[Mac76]

Federer is out. :doh:

Djokovic won.

Well done Novak, and smug git federer duly eliminated by a better player, Cash says he should retire :haha:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/45415170

[Goonermerree]

Serena through to the final.She's not at her best, but she's still better than the rest. Not good for women's tennis, nor does it look good for men's tennis when the old men are dominating. Though I'd like to see Nadal get a calendar Grand Slam!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Osaka.

Nadal v Del Potro
Nishikori v Djokovic

On tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Del Potro straight away.

:blink:

Jimmy 'change it up' Connors is in the commentary booth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Potro breaks and leads 1-0 in the first set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks straight back. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Connors' heavy breathing on the mic is distracting.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Potro wins 7-6 (7-3) 6-2r and is in to his 2nd Slam final. Well done to him.

Nadal's knee went again it seems after the first set.

Djokovic took the first set against Nishikori 6-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2nd break point for Nishikori!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Shite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds.

Over 25 minutes for only two games in the second set. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks and leads 3-2 in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the second set 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic hammers Nishikori 6-3 6-4 6-2. What a ridiculous point to win it!

Del Potro v Djokovic in the final. :popcorn:

Come on Depoitre. Let's not have another Djokovic winning four in a row reign of terror. :lol:

[Goonermerree]

Rafa :crying: :crying: Dunno who I want to win now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osaka is up a double break!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena is serving to stay in the first set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Which she does. Osaka has two chances to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osaka takes the first set 6-2! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coaching violation for Serena. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena has a rant at the umpire saying she'd rather lose than cheat to win.

Replays show the very, very obvious coaching. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Osaka.

More coaching plans needed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena holds, 1-2 she leads, Osaka to serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Phenomenal point, what a winner from Osaka to save break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena breaks and leads 3-1 in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two double faults in a row, break point for Osaka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osaka breaks straight back.

Serena smashes her racquet, should be a point pelanty combined with the coaching.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osaka already up 15-0 in the next service game on the changeover. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena whining again. :haha:

This is some fucking meltdown, saying the umpire owes her an apology, talking about her kid for some irrelevant reason.

Should lose the game. Twat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"You own me an apology! I have a daughter and I have not cheated in my life.

I didn't get coaching. You need to make an announcement that i don't cheat. You owe me an apology. I have never cheated in my life. I have a daughter and I stand for what's right for her. I have never cheated.

And honestly I would love it, love it if we beat them"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Osaka. Stunning.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osaka breaks and leads 4-3 in the second set!

Serena is still going on and on at the umpire, talking about him attacking her character, owes her an apology and he'll never umpire again so long as he lives. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Game pelanty for Serena!!!!

:haha:

What a fucking twat she is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena serving to stay in the Championship! This is hilarious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena calling for the match referee, she is an utter bellend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena is crying now. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's a gender war now!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You are a liar. You will never be on a court of mine as long as you live. When are you going to give me my apology. Say you are sorry.

You're a thief, you stole a point from me"

And she thinks it's not appropriate to escalate the violations?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osaka to serve for the Championship. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two Championship points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osaka hammers Serena 6-2 6-4 to win the US Open and her first Slam!

Japan's first Slam winner!

Serena. :haha:

Fuck off. What a meltdown!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That was possibly the most pathetic thing I've seen in sport. She was utterly disgraceful.

Pulling both the "I'm a woman" and "I have a baby" cards as well.

She's an embarrassment.

Feel sorry for Osaka. One of the greatest moments in her career and it's been overshadowed by that. Phenomenal how she focused herself.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

There are some utter daft people rallying behind Serena now, mainly Croft and Courier on commentary.

Violation, point, game is the procedure when you act aggressively after the initial pelanty.

Osaka. :bow:

All about her now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Role model apparently. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena interview. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"We'll get through this".

WTF is she on?

It never happens to men though!

[GP]

I think that might be the most pathetic meltdown I've even seen in Pro sports.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

She didn't stop there, in the post match press conference she said Carlos Ramos was being sexist. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

You see? Idiots everywhere.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Players are warming up, should be about to start.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Potro's booming forehand. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Potro's forehand down the line. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A tiebreak seems likely.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic after 40-0.

Me. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic does break and will serve for the first set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Djokovic!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the first set 6-3!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Potro getting drawn in to this slice game is such a daft tactic.

Blasting Nole off court is the only hope he has, pain for the wrist or not.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Potro saves two break points and holds, he leads 0-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks in the second set. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Del Potro.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Del Potro. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very wild from Djokovic, Del Potro breaks back!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Potro heeding my advice. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a backhand down the line from Del Potro!

Break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Backhand in to the net. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Del Potro again!

[Marc Overmars]

I’m confused, why are you not allowed to recieve advice from your coach during a game of Tennis?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blasts it, long. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I’m confused, why are you not allowed to recieve advice from your coach during a game of Tennis?

It's allowed on the ordinary Women's tour but I think they want to try and make the Slams about being one on one as much as possible.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic double faults on game point. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Del Potro again!

Please, as this female Umpire will say, 40,000 times.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great from Botovic tbf. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic finally holds, 4-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Potro channelling the Federer shank. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now it is tie-break time!

I get it right eventually. :ninja:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a forehand from Del Potro. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-3 at the changeover.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic can serve it out. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the second set 7-6 (7-4).

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic up a break in the third set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Potro breaks back!

Time violation for Djokovic. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic wins 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 to win the US Open for a third time.

14th Slam overall for this Cyborg. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bonkers to think Federer, Nadal, Djokovic are in my mind the top 3 Slam winners of all time.

Sampras is tied with Djokovic sure but the RG Djokovic has that Sampras doesn't puts him ahead.
