Just over a week to go til the best Slam can't wait :popcorn:

[GP]

Come on Tim!

[Master Splinter]

Defending champion Clijsters out of this tournament.

Murray to play Devvarman in the first round.

Best Indian player ever.

Draw news: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/14671966.stm

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Murray has a chance on this surface

[Cripps_orig]

Murray will face Nadal in the semis if they get that far.On the womens side, Heather Watson takes on Maria Sharapova.Sharapovas my tip for the title. Unlucky not to win Wimbledon with her just coming back from injury and some man beast pub teamer getting lucky.I'm going for Federer in the mens

[Master Splinter]

If Serena has no injury problems, she will win this one eye closed.

Man Beast Pub Teamer hasn't had a good hardcourt season so far, but should do well and will probably make Ach look like a chump for the 450857866578th time on GW.

[Master Splinter]

Laura Robson qualified for the US Open:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/14658542.stm.

Not a facepalm strong enough to describe that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sharapova serving to stay in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watson to serve for the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One set point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Watson

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And she takes it 6-3.

[Master Splinter]

Great point finished with a drive volley by Watson :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Sharapova breaks again to lead 3-1 in the second.

The bottle job is on :(.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Sharapova breaks again to lead 3-1 in the second.

The bottle job is on :(.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

4-1 to the pub teamer.

5-5 now.

Some incredible forehands from Watson there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

6-5, Watson serving to stay in the second set and force a tiebreak.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don't double fault now...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points for Sharapova.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And she takes it 7-5. Balls.

[Master Splinter]

Fuck.

Sharapova takes the second set 7-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's not a British trait to get balls in court according to Petchey. I imagine that is where we had been going wrong all these years.

[Syn]

Guernsey :haha:

Come on Muzza Rusha.

And come on Tennis.

[Master Splinter]

It's not a British trait to get balls in court according to Petchey.

Did he watch Murray play when he coached him?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did he watch Murray play when he coached him?

I think your answer is in the fact he is a commentator now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Sharapova on Watson's serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce, thanks to HawkEye. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Sharapova.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sharapova breaks and leads 2-0. The grunting was taken up a notch there on that point.

[Master Splinter]

That sitter into the net has probably ruined her.

Time for Heather to man up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

44 unforced errors from Sharapova. :blink:

[KESSLER]

Why does Shara need to scream for a lob shot :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Watson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watson breaks back! Sharapova still leads at 4-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Sharapova. Ah.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sharapova breaks and will serve for the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sharapova wins 3-6 7-5 6-3.

[Master Splinter]

Plucky Brits :(.

Good match though.

[Cripps_orig]

Forgot about this. Shazza :bow:In Watson and Robson, British womens tennis looks decent and the tennis aint bad either

[Cripps_orig]

If Serena has no injury problems, she will win this one eye closed.Man Beast Pub Teamer hasn't had a good hardcourt season so far, but should do well and will probably make Ach look like a chump for the 450857866578th time on GW. :haha:Don't think there's been anyone in GW history who's had as many shockers as you :haha:Especially when you consider you're still a pub teamer in posting terms so that's quite some feat tbhAnyway when does Murray play?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed won 6-4 6-3 6-2.

[Master Splinter]

:haha:Don't think there's been anyone in GW history who's had as many shockers as you :haha:

I'll let you have this one. But I think Kvitova winning Wimbledon trumps everything tbf.

Also, Nasri played centrally most of last season, eh?

Little knowledge of football and tennis. Quite impressive.

[Master Splinter]

Tsonga beat Lu 6-4 6-4 6-4.

Ferrer beat Andreev 2-6 6-3 6-0 6-4.

Azarenka beat Larsson 6-1 6-3.

[Cripps_orig]

Tbf you only backed her in the wimbledon final. Had you backed her all the way like I did with Sharapova then you'd have some credibility.And no Nasri played in the middle for the majority of his good run but making things up to suit your argument is a classic WUM trait tbh and I should know so I salute you for it.

[Master Splinter]

:lol:

At least you're consistent in your silliness. I'm glad of your salute, it's the equivalent of getting a comedy award from Jim Davidson.

Kvitova was a walking metaphor for the amount of shockers one person could have in the space of a few hours. And I did back her after Li Na went out tbf.

For the record, I backed Serena here.

And Djokovic for the men's title.

:good:

[Master Splinter]

Wozniacki beat Llagostera Vives 6-3 6-1.

Djokovic 6-0 1-0 up against Ireland's Conor Niland :lol:.

Baltacha 2-4 down against Jamie Hampton.

[Master Splinter]

Also:
Hearing reports that Niland is suffering from food poisoning and threw up as he walked on to court. Not the best start for the biggest match of your life. He's looking pretty groggy out there.

And he's playing Djokovic :lol:.

:rose:.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic through 6-0 5-1 after Niland retires.

[Marc Overmars]

Finally managed to catch some of the action today.

Djok is immense.

What's his form been like since Wimbledon? Still going mental winning everything?

[The Wengerbabies]

What's his form been like since Wimbledon? Still going mental winning everything?

Basically, he won the Rogers Cup and retired in the Cincinnati final against Murray.

He's winning this tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verdasco is through in four sets.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baltacha won. :bow:

Her opponent retired with potentially one game to go. :doh: 2-6 6-2 5-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep knocks Li Na out 6-2 7-5. :doh:

[The Wengerbabies]

Li Na :haha:

China :haha:

[Master Splinter]

What's his form been like since Wimbledon? Still going mental winning everything?

Only lost two matches this year. One was in the French Open semis against Federer. The otther was the retirement against Murray in the Cincinnati final last week.

Says it all really, as they say on GW.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal had another struggle against Golubev, winning 6-3 7-6 (7-1) 7-5.

Murray trying to take down the Asian Clique at around 18:00.

Robson plays Anabel Medina Garrigues at 16:00.

[Niall_Quinn]

Some of the worst golf I have ever seen, tbh.

[Master Splinter]

Sweden's Robin Soderling, the number six seed, has pulled out his first-round US Open clash against Irish qualifier Louk Sorensen due to illness.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/14737001.stm

Medina Garrigues took the first set against Robson 6-2.

[Master Splinter]

Robson lost 6-2 6-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Devvarman is a break up in the first set.

Murray. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Back on serve, 3-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray takes the first set 7-6 (7-5).

[Cripps_orig]

Murray is a break up at 3-2 in the 2nd

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he took the second set 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Venus Williams has pulled out with an unknown illness.

Murray wins 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, 6-3.

[Master Splinter]

Del Potro beat Volandri 6-3 6-1 6-1.

Roddick beat Russel 6-2 6-4 4-6 7-5 and will play the mighty Jack Sock next. Come on Sock :bow:.

McHale beat Bartoli 7-6(7-2) 6-2. Bartoli :haha:.

[Master Splinter]

Berdych beat Fognini 7-5 6-0 6-0.

Federer v Sela coming up soon.

Baltacha plays Kuznetsova at around 21:00.

[Master Splinter]

Stepanek becomes the 15th retirement or walkover so far in this tournament.

Almost as bad as Arsenal's injury list.

[Master Splinter]

Federer breaks Sela to go 4-2 up.

Sela :rose:.

[Cripps_orig]

15th?

Wtf?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's just too hot in New York at this time of year I guess.

Also, Fed took the first set 6-3.

[Master Splinter]

Despite the hurricane, I think it's been stupidly hot.

Alot of players seem to have strange illnesses and injuries at the same time too.

Federer took the first set 6-3.

[Master Splinter]

It just happened again.

Me and Maccy posting almost identical things at the same time is getting far too weird.

Time to join Arsenal Mania tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks in the second set to lead 3-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monfils. :lol:

What a clown.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks again and will serve for the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes the second set 6-2. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed will serve for the match. Far too easy. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed wins 6-3 6-2 6-2. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Federer only lost 8 points on his serve :lol:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That match was essentially a walkover. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baltacha is a break up in the first set against Kuznetsova.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Back on serve now.

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kuznetsova up a break now.

Baltacha. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Kuznetsova took the first set 6-4.

And Baltacha has been broken at the start of the second.

British tennis :rose:.

[Master Splinter]

Ferrero v Monfils has gone to a fifth set.

Five set epics :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Baltacha 4-2 down in the second.

Serena destroyed Michaella Krajicek 6-0 6-1 earlier. She's winning this tbf.

[Master Splinter]

Tsonga just beat Bubka 6-3 7-5 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kuznetsova wins 6-4 6-3.

:rolleyes:

Also, Bubka is a relation of the pole vaulter. :bow:

And five-setters aren't quite as epic here as other Slams what with a fifth set tiebreak.

[Master Splinter]

Kuznetsova beats Baltacha 6-4 6-3.

Murray to play Haase/Van Nistelrooy tomorrow at around 21:00.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrero leads 4-3 and about to serve in the fifth set.

[Master Splinter]

Ferrero v Monfils has been a close five set match, hence the epic.

Ferrero a break up in the fifth.

Also Cilic is crushing Tomic, which is quite surprising.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Monfils hasn't got a clue".

I might have edited that but even so, well said Peter Fleming. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrero v Monfils has been a close five set match, hence the epic.

Ferrero a break up in the fifth.

Also Cilic is crushing Tomic, which is quite surprising.

I didn't say it wasn't an epic. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Ferrero.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monfils is serving to stay in the match.

[Master Splinter]

Cilic beats Tomic 6-1 6-0 6-2.

Aussie tennis :rose:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrero serving for the match. Both men have ran 6km apparently. :blink:

[Master Splinter]

"Monfils hasn't got a clue".

I might have edited that but even so, well said Peter Fleming. :bow:

Monfils is the Diaby of tennis.

Has great attributes and the ability to go into Beast Mode, but has had several injuries and lacks a brain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monfils scuffed it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrero wins 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-4. :bow:

About 4 hours 50 long. :wacko:

[Master Splinter]

Ferrero :bow:.

Will probably end up losing to a genuine pub-teamer in the next round though.

Monfils :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's studio looks so professional overlooking the practice courts. I didn't realise the studio is just basically inside a box. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrero :bow:.

Will probably end up losing to a genuine pub-teamer in the next round though.

Monfils :haha:.

Hope he does well, probably right on going out next round. Would be good to see him remain uninjured for a fair amount of time, for once. As for Monfils...:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's interview with Fed was before the Cilic vs Tomic match. He called it 50/50 (in reponse to doubting how well Cilic might do). :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Federer :lol:.

The new Lawro.

(Tbf, I would have predicted a comfortable win for Tomic. Maybe he was under the weather too?).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's an Aussie (ish), he has no excuse! Well ok he is 18 I suppose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mardy Fish. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

He's an Aussie (ish), he has no excuse! Well ok he is 18 I suppose.

German-born, Croatian heritage, Australian-bred.

Mongrel.

The European part of him wilted.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fish breaks in the opening game of the first set against Jaziri.

Gasquet is taking on Karlovic, that'll be fun for him.

[Master Splinter]

Karlovic :bow:.

Pulis was after him.

Karlovic takes the first set 6-4.

Gasquet :lol:. French bottlers :lol:.

I think Jaziri is in for a tonking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jaziri won a game.

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fish took the first set 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic won 6-0 6-0 6-2. Djokovic succesfully did the hotdog too. :bow:

Fish won 6-2 6-2 6-4.

[Master Splinter]

Karlovic beat Gasquet 6-4 6-2 2-6 7-6(7-4).

Gasquet :haha:.

Wozniacki beat Rus 6-2 6-0.


Mahut v Nadal could be fun.

Roddick v Sock. Come on Sock :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You can't pull the wool over his eyes...

Sorry.

Anyway, Del Potro is doing alright at the moment, took the first set 6-2 against Junqueira.

As for Karlovic, at least playing him in that heat you'll conserve a lot of energy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1905: Sharapova fans, look away now. Pennetta holds serve in game three before forcing the double-break to lead 4-0 in the opening set. Yes, you did read that right. Shazza having a bit of a 'mare so far. Her serve and forehand are all over the shop. She's already made 11 unforced errors to her opponent's two, has won just 33% of points on her first and 43% on her second. Early days yet, mind.

:lol:

[Cripps_orig]

I take it the Tennis will be moved to the red button at half 7?

Internationals on all 4 sports channels

[Cripps_orig]

Murray is due soon

[Cripps_orig]

About to start

Only the 2nd time they face each other

The pub teamer won the first and recently won a tournament as well as being at a career high 40 something in the rankings

Not easy for the Scot this but if the Brit shows up, should be comfortable

[Cripps_orig]

US Open on Twitter: "Sharapova down 3-0 in 3rd set vs. Pennetta. She has 23 winners and 51 errors."

:doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Haase breaks and leads 4-3

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray broke back. 5-5 and he is serving.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sharapova is 0-30 after a double fault, serving to stay in the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three match points for Pennetta. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pennetta wins 6-3 3-6 6-4!

Sharapova. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tiebreak time in the first set between Haase and Murray.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray has gone to pieces in this tiebreak. Two set points for Haase.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray flukes one via the net. One setpoint remaining on Murray's serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haase takes it 7-6 (7-5).

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is down 3-0 in the second set.

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray broke back. It's 4-2 now though. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is serving to stay in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points for Haase.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haase takes it 6-2. Murray has completely gone to pieces.

[Cripps_orig]

And that is why Murray should not be mentioned alongside the big 3.

Cos when they have shockers, they still manage to come through and hardly lose to pub teamers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Murray on Haase's serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray breaks and leads 2-1 in the third set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is serving for the third set at 5-2 up.

[GunnerFan4Life]

COME ON MURRAY

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray takes the third set 6-2.

[GunnerFan4Life]

get in there my son!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray breaks at the start of the fourth set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible smash from Murray, Adv. Haase.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Poor from Haase now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Haase. Great shot there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray holds, 2-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haase smashes his racquet up, 3-0 down. He's a bit of a nutter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal leading Mahut 6-2 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray serving for the bagel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray takes the fourth set 6-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray breaks at the start of the fifth set. Haase throws his racquet down again.

[Cripps_orig]

And that is why Murray should be mentioned with the top 3.

When all is looking down in the dumps, he turns it around.

[Cripps_orig]

Mahut retires at the start of the 3rd

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray breaks again and leads 3-0 in the fifth set.

[Cripps_orig]

Feliciano Lopez next for Murray

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haase gets one break back, it's 4-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-3 Murray leads, Murray to serve.

:popcorn:

[Master Splinter]

Pennetta :bow:.

Pub-Teamer :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haase. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haase is being controlled by Djokovic I think.

[Master Splinter]

And that is why Murray should not be mentioned alongside the big 3.

Cos when they have shockers, they still manage to come through and hardly lose to pub teamers.


And that is why Murray should be mentioned with the top 3.

When all is looking down in the dumps, he turns it around.

Which piece of Ach WUMming will hold true?

:popcorn:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Haase.

:faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining. Wild shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's 4-4!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah, the run might be over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Murray.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray breaks and will serve for the match.

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-30...

:doh:

[Master Splinter]

Van Nistelrooy will dine out on this for a while.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray flukes one to bring up match point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray puts it long! Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Haase. What a point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haase nets the second serve. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point Murray.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's in on review!

:haha:

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Murray again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray wins 6-7 (5-7) 2-6 6-2 6-0 6-4! Great last set, the third and fourth were terrible.

[GunnerFan4Life]

YESSS!

[Master Splinter]

Roddick beat Sock :(.

Federer v Cilic could be good.

Davydenko is in for a good beating.

[Master Splinter]

Tippers takes the first set against Berdych 6-4.

Wozniacki a set up against King. 6-2.

Scheepers takes the first set against Camoranesi 7-5.

Dettori :lol:.

[Master Splinter]

Seems like Berdych has retired at 6-4 5-0 down. Tipsarevic goes through.

Another one bites the dust :rose:.

WTF is going on?

Nadal's knee to explode by the end of the week?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wozniacki won 6-2 6-4.

Federer vs Cilic is on in a minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schiavone takes the second set 7-6 (7-5).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Cilic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. All of Cilic's break point chances were on second serve. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed holds. 2-1. Cilic broke his strings. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One remaining. And again on somebody's second serve. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks and leads 3-1 in the first set.

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another retirement. Granollers this time, against Ferrero who was winning 6-1 4-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cilic serving to stay in the first set at 5-2 down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he does. Fed serving for the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes it 6-3.

:bow:

[Master Splinter]

Andy Murray on Twitter: "Is the 18th pull out in the us open telling the tennis authorities anything?? No?? Thought not..."


Murray to be taken outside and shot......

He also seems to be a Bendtner fan, judging by his tweets.


Ferrero :bow:.

Good to see him doing well.

[Master Splinter]

Looks like Grosjean is going to beat Scheepers now.

[Master Splinter]

Pires beats Scheepers 5-7 7-6(7-5) 6-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schiavone won 5-7 7-6 (7-5) 6-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Fed holds. 2-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points for Cilic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One set point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cilic takes it 6-4!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Great dropshot from Cilic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]
