Official 2012 US Open Thread ( Vol. Kimmy's Last Run)

Eh, rather see Hewitt go far anyway.

 

[shogun]

They have played that Baghdatis clip everywhere 

.  That's how I would take out my frustration.  Seeing that is a lot better than when a player is mad at an official and curses them out and threatens them bodily harm.
Does anyone else have a pet peeve about players needing to use a towel after every point?  You just wiped your face and arms 30 seconds ago, I doubt you built up enough sweat since then to need a towel.  It seems for some players more of a routine / habit instead of actually needing it.

Roddick

Thanks for the photos SinnerP, btw are they yours?

 

[mister916]

Baghdatis fined $770 for smashing his rackets.

Bummer about Roddick, but I'm used to the disappointment with him now. I need a new favorite

You're welcome, but no, they're not mine.  Media pics from Getty or Reuters...
Anyway...

Just saw Lopez win. Guy is fit as hell.

Has anyone heard about the problem with the Vapor 9's? Apparently the two colorways out now mark the courts but nike won't take them back since the marks aren't permanent

 

[Sinner]

^ Have you checked on TT yet? I'm sure there's a discussion about it over there...

Some crafty play by Dolgo and Tomic... both guys are tricky.

 

[gunna get it]

not a fan of Tomic after the crap he pulled with the fake challenge call. Zero respect for him at all



if Monfils pulls off a comeback right now he will have gained so much respect from me...

he's finally fighting thru some adversity instead of giving up

 

[gunna get it]

SMH.

Monfils fought back and then, turned back into Gael Monfils.

Sitting down 15-30/ 2-3 in The 5th set, he tries a baseline between the legs shot

and misses horribly.

Aussie announcer goes " that's your boy" and I just cracked up laughing

THIS.

That was a douche move.  He clearly raised his racquet, and while the ump didn't see it, Dolgo obviously did and it affected him IMO.  I think there was also a call from the fans which threw him off as well.  He clearly raised his racquet, then denied it when the ump asked if he wanted to challenge.  

  No sportsmanship.
Anyway, not watching Monfails, but that's his problem... brain cramps... he'd play a series of amazing shots then top it up with stupidity like that..

 

[mister916]

Hewitt 

 

[Sinner]

That was devastating. 

 

 

 

[mister916]

Damn, my girl Li Na. 

At least it was Kim who beat her.

 

[Sinner]

I think that match did a bigger number on her head than the final last year.  6-1 up in the 2nd set breaker.  Can't lose those leads...
Anyway.

 

[mister916]

That drop shot Fed just pulled off.

Absolutely beautiful.

Cannot wait to see the crowd reaction when he goes up against Nadal.

 

[Sinner]

at Berd... Nothing wrong with Nico's shot.
Aussie fans really giving it to him... and rightfully so.

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Damn, I really expected a better match from Tomic. Vintage Federer, but I still see Delpo winning in 4 sets.
As for Berdych, I can see him still being defiant during the on-court post-match interview, but one of his handlers should have told him to do some damage control before he got to the podium. Dude had that Serena-like, "I'm right and everyone else is wrong and I'm not apologizing for %%*%" expression down pat.

 

[gunna get it]

Byrdech is a Bum.
He lied to, he hit my face... smh shut up

is Lisicki/sharipova tonite?

 

[aepps20]

Berd is a clown. Plenty of players do the exact same thing at the net.
