Tennis - 2016 US Open

[gigantes]

With Tennis rankings you have to defend your points from the previous year. So when Djoker went out early at Wimbledon, he took a huge point hit. He also went out early at Dubai and Monte Carlo, although I'm not sure what his results the previous season were at those events. I believe Murray has made the final of every tournament this year as well, only losing to Djoker.

i know that of course, but didn't realise murray was having such a deceptively strong year. i looked at tourney wins a few days ago, disregarded the olympics, and assumed all was well. foolish me.

anyway, thanks. if murray does become #1 then i think that's also pretty cool based on how hard he's worked historically and also because it helps solidify the greatness of the big four.

Djoker with a walkover against Vesley who could have been a tough opponent.


Harrison having the match of his career. Not looking good for Raonic.

No idea what was wrong with Raonic physically... he couldnt move. Crowd apparently was shit, too.

Projected Quarterfinals:

Top Half: Djokovic v.s. Cilic, Nadal v.s. Monfils
Bottom Half: Wawrinka/Kyrgios v.s. Del Potro, Murray v.s. Nishikori

DelPo vs. Johnson on Ash. Could be a good one.

How can you not like DelPo.


Such a gentle giant and genuine.

Cilic is sucking hard.. bout to exit..

then Djoker/Youzhny, might be good

DelPo looked great. He's really playing inspired tennis.




Keys with an amazing comeback, down 1-5 in the 3rd set.

wow.. apparently mad meltdown from Osaka.. crying hard..

always fascinating to see athletes tighten up under pressure... something about watching a choke unfold.

Cilic looked lost against fatty Sock dude is inconsistent as the Frenchmen in the tour

[ArbitraryWater]

Youzhny deadass bout to retire, Djoker with another virtual walkover.. tf

Nadal hasn't even been past the 3rd round in the last five slams so let's pump the brakes. I want to see Nadal succeed but right now he's not even a contender for the title at any slam, even French.

Djokovic looks weak, maybe injuries, lack of motivation, off court issues. I don't know but he hasn't been the same for the last few months.

Murray in my eyes is the heavy favorite to take this tournament right now.
