The Official Tennis Thread (Vol. 2024 US Open)

Serena just hasn't played well at all this year. Maybe father time is finally catching up
 
And now for the main event!

Here we go!

Damn Federer washed that guy pretty quick. I was gonna switch over to that match after Serena won and it's over.
 
When Ana comes to the net she has a shot. Needs to serve and volley more on some Stefan edberg grind
 
Noooo... her net game isn't good enough!  I'd say throw in the S&V occasionally to mix things up, but stick with her baseline game.  Sabine's good enough to pass her so charging the net might prove to be too risky. 
 
You want her at the baseline vs Sabine's power? I think that's playing into her strength

More power, yes... but not the consistency.  Ana's been more consistent over the past few months.  I think she also moves better than Sabine. 
 
That power is going to kill her just trading ground strokes today.

Every time she attacke the net (minus one pass) so far, she has won the point
 
Auf ghet's Sabina!

Need to keep mixing it up with these drop shots and not getting caught out by Ana's slice. Good play by both girls so far though.

Looks like they're gonna call it off

Fools... Centre Court was free, yet they decided to schedule this on Court 1... 

Obvs Sabine wants to continue, while Ana wants to change.  Remember, if it gets too dark Hawkeye won't work... plus they'll have to come back on Monday. 
 
Yep, no play on Middle-Sunday!

It got ridiculously dark yesterday during the Berd/Cilic match... no Hawkeye and low visibility.  Center Court was free... I just don't get it. 
 
Play suspended... geniuses... Center Court has a roof with light!

Most annoying thing is that this only suits the other girls in the draw more than it does Sabine or Ana.

Oh well, at least we can watch the football.

Indeed.  What's so frustrating was that it could have been avoided. 

EDIT

One of the most ridiculous forehands you will ever see.

Takes "running around your backhand" to a new level.  The ball was tailing towards him.

Good returning by Ana there... had the momentum... then the rain, of course...

Tricky for Sabine though... warm-up, then to serve at deuce!!!
