I hope you're right but Serena wil probably win. She should be forced to have to play men. Its unfair she gets to play against sweethearts like Kim Clijsters and those 2 blondes who played last night.

Speaking of men, the semis is shaping up to be dandies. Djokovich and Federer made it through. Wont be so easy for Nadal and Del Potro, who are the 2 favorites to win today and join Fed and Djokovich on Saturday.

Oudin got doused last night! That was a schooling the other, more built blonde put on. Sweet little Melanie was gracious in defeat, applauding her competitor and the crowd, wishing her good luck in her next match. Now, only if the Williams sisters would retire for good and be replaced by respectful young blondes like Oudin.

Meanwhile is Roger Federer for real? 22 straight semis? Gunning for his 6th straight title at the US Open...wow.

Gander · #7 09-11-2009, 08:02 PM

No tennis tonight.

Ugh.

Nadal-Gonzalez may have to play as many as 8 sets tomorrow, considering their match could easily go 5 sets (its currently in a 2nd set tiebreak) and the winner plays again in the afternoon against a very hot Del Potro.

Smooth Operator · #8 09-11-2009, 10:34 PM

Yeah, The Great Swiss's consistency and durability over the years has been remarkable to say the least. Would love to see him take down number six at Flushing Meadows.

ESPN reporting that both men's semis will take place on Sunday ... assuming the Nadal match is completed tomorrow.

The U.S. Open has its own asinine scheduling ritual to blame for the delayed men's and women's finals. This scheduling of singles quarters and semis third, fourth and fifth on Ashe is just playing with fire. Before they got the roof at Wimbledon, they always started with the singles on Centre Court by 1:00 at the latest so that if the rains came or the matches took too long, they still got them in. I understand the USTA loves its primetime matches, but put the stupid doubles on Armstrong and make sure you get the singles matches in. Of course today that wouldn't have mattered, but Nadal and Gonzo would've completed their quarter Thursday and there still would've been a chance at a Sunday final. Now it's Monday at the earliest.

I wonder what time the men's final is on Monday? Would it be prime time (I hope)?

Any way you slice it, whoever plays in the final will provide a great match.

I lean towards Fed and Del Potro, and will take a stand that Del Potro wins the final.

Gander · #12 09-12-2009, 03:23 PM

Nadal crushes Gonzalez in the conclusion of their quarterfinal.

The semis tomorrow.

Wonder what time and what channel (with the NFL having games on all day)?

Anyone know if the times are scheduled yet?

Federer and Murray played their final on a Monday afternoon last year. If Delpo plays like he did the last 2 1/2 sets against Cilic, he can beat either of the top two. I don't see it happening though.

I do sort of remember the Monday final, now that you mention it. Was that because of rain delays or did that Monday happen to be Labor Day last year?

I like Del Potro a lot tomorrow and in the final, especially if Djokovich is somehow able to beat Federer.

It was because of rain. The men's final is always the Sunday after Labor Day.

They will try and play the women's semis tonight. I dont think its being shown on TV though, because of all the college football.

Nadal and Del Potro will play at noon tomorrow. I think Nadal will have a very tough time breaking his serve. Nadal's best shot is to keep this thing going a long time and getting into tiebreakers. Should be a great day of sports.

Pretty sure the women's semis will be on CBS tonight if they're played.

Clijsters takes opening set from Serena. Some seriously good tennis going on.

GPK · #19 09-12-2009, 10:56 PM

Wow...what a way to end. Would love to know everything Serena said to the line judge.

Something about stuffing the racket down her throat. It was a bad call, but Serena's a brat and she took her frustration about being smacked by Clijsters out on the lineswoman. A real shame for Clijsters, who is playing out of her mind right now.
