2013 US Open Thread

[DuMa]

Its here again and recently Rafa has been pummeling his opponents. Harrison was his latest victim.

Fed playing later tonight and is in Rafa's quarter.

other notes:
Blake is retiring after this USO.
Mandy Minella is absolutely beautiful.
WTA still sucks.

My girl Sloan survived a 3 set tiebreaker.

Sharapova out of the tourney with a shoulder injury.



Favorite on the Men's side is Nadal, who hasn't lost a match on the hardcourts this year. The only person I see beating him is Djoker.

Serena is the obvious favorite on the womens side. She has a possible rematch with Sloan Stevens, who beat her last time they played, in the QF.

let the hatefest bashing over the smallest of reasons begin.


nadal, fed, djoker, murray... if you don't hate one or more of them with a passion, you are obviously not a true sports fan!

one of the biggest tennis matches of all time, the battle of the sexes between bobby riggs and billie jean king, was fixed... according to a sports insider who went public after 40 years of silence.

fixed by riggs and the mafia for $100K in 1973 money.

Djokovic is a turd. I'm cool with any of the other 3 winning. Or even Del Potro again if he can hold it together.

C'mon Rafa, get it done this year

[enayes]

I forgot that Nadal missed the US Open last year, hopefully he feels comfortable enough to play his best. But with his recent results I don't think anyone can say Rafa is lacking in confidence.

Why can't you yanks get a roof? No wonder Wimbledon remains the best.

I wasn't even born. I'd prefer the roof.

While I agree Wimbledon is the best, I believe they only added the roof to center a few years ago. I also believe that Arthur Ash, the largest Tennis venue in the World, would be much more expensive to put a roof over. I think the Wimbledon roof cost like $250mil.

darn janowicz lost in the 1st round .. Bummer!

and i have no one to root for in WTA ..

17 year old American Victoria Duval upsets #11 Sam Stosur.

[DuMa]

Thunderstorm scheduled for all afternoon. All play is halted. Murray is scheduled to play on Ashe tonight but if the rains wipe out play for today, he wont even get to start his first round match until Thursday. tough stuff for the defending champion

[Sarcastic]

They are building a roof soon.
