2009 US Open Tennis - Men

Monfils is gassed. :(

Appears that way right now...we'll see how he responds in the 3rd, but it better not go 5 for him.

 

[Bucknut24]

I don't think I have ever seen Monfils this tired before this early in a match (even though its the 3rd set, but you know what i mean)

Roger started off strong and looked like he was going to breeze through but he's making a lot of mistakes now

 

[Flocka]

Ya dig.

 

[BB73]

Yeah, Fed was up 4-0 in the 3rd set tiebreak, it looked like the match was about over, and then he lost it.

Right now, it's 6-6 in the 4th set tiebreak.

Now it's over. 8-6 Fed in the 4th set breaker.

22 straight semis in majors.

 

[Bucknut24]

Fed has looked very vulnerable at times, I don't think these last two matches are going to be easy, Novak seems to be playing very well again, and Nadal is playing much better than I expected.

At the bar and espn is fuckng up, can I get a score update?

 

[Bucknut24]

Nadal may have just lost this tournament becasue of the rain...He's gonna have to play 3 matches in 3 days (if he makes it to the final), and just not sure if his body is going to hold up....

question though, if the rain doesn't stop (which i hope it does), and Nadal and Gonzales have to play their qtrfinal match Saturday morning, and let's say Nadal wins the match in straight sets, since he would have only played one set, would they make him play the semifinal match that night??

They just reported that rain is expected for all day Saturday as well. :(

Nadal's up 7-6, 6-6 (3-2 on serve in the second tiebreak), with a rain delay. Was that timely for you? :tongue2:

 

[Bucknut24]

figures, perfect weather almost the full tournament, then championship weekend comes, and boom, all the rain....I wonder when or if the last time a mens final has been played on a Monday?

Right now the schedule for Saturday only lists the Nadal v. Gonzales quarterfinal match.

If they would ask the winner to return and play the semi at night, they would also have listed the Federer v. Djokovic semi on Saturday (which they do not).
So it appears that they will try to play both semis on Sunday and the finals on Monday.

 

[Bucknut24]

yea, just saw that, man, what a mess this is gonna create if it rains again tomorrow, which i think it is supposed to.

 

[gracelhink]

Nadal made quick work of Gonzales, finishing off the 2nd set breaker 7-2 and then winning the 3rd at love.
The semis will be played Sunday, finals on Monday probably under the lights.

Heck of a shot....
