18. True - the timing seemed kind of weird but it

Fri Aug 31, 2012, 07:41 AM

Aug 2012

was his birthday yesterday so maybe that finally spurred it.

I'm glad too that he's moving on. I always wanted to like him but found it frustrating that he couldn't pull himself together. Maybe it is just a testament to how much better Federer was 10 years ago. He really was so dominant against the others.

I don't think Andy would have gotten the better of Roger much... joeybee12 Aug 2012 #20

Andy? MuseRider Aug 2012 #9

I guess it's because he's the last American to have won the US Open... joeybee12 Aug 2012 #21

I missed almost all of it MuseRider Aug 2012 #10

No, I think there's something physically wrong with him. His serve was really weak (for him). marmar Aug 2012 #11

Thanks. MuseRider Aug 2012 #12

I like him too - TBF Aug 2012 #19

Venus looking really tired tonight..... dhill926 Aug 2012 #14

Yeah, I guess her match against Kim wasn't a fluke... joeybee12 Aug 2012 #26

does it look like a pretty sparse crowd watching Andy's match?? a kennedy Aug 2012 #27

Ryan Harrison lost today. Do not like him. At least he did not break another racket. Logical Aug 2012 #29

I think he's got a snotty attitude...... a kennedy Sep 2012 #30

Andy was like that at Ryan's age. Even Federer was TBF Sep 2012 #31

Didn't know that about Roger...had heard that about Bjorn Borg... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #32

I heard a funny story MuseRider Sep 2012 #34

AGREED, Fabs is really cute! MuseRider Sep 2012 #38

I've always said dumping Brad Gilbert as his coach was Roddick's joeybee12 Sep 2012 #39

You are right, MuseRider Sep 2012 #41

He dumped him shortly after his one and only US Open title... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #42

Looking forward to watching MuseRider Sep 2012 #45

It was kinda awful, MuseRider Sep 2012 #47

Let me change the subject...Sharapova got real lucky... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #50

Great match though. marmar Sep 2012 #53

I'm shocked so far by the other quarterfinal match... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #54

Arthur Ashe needs a roof ASAP ....... marmar Sep 2012 #57

I was going to say it's the only Slam without a roof... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #58

I have felt the same way MuseRider Sep 2012 #78

I think Roger has had too much time off.....He's out of sorts so far. marmar Sep 2012 #59

Not good...I'm turning it off....nt joeybee12 Sep 2012 #60

I'm going to bed - I can't watch anymore either. nt TBF Sep 2012 #61

Awesome match between Tipsarevic and Ferrer..... (SPOILER). marmar Sep 2012 #62

I was watching some match the other day and Pam and Chris were commentating... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #63

I like DelPo, but I really like Djokovic too. marmar Sep 2012 #64

I'd rather him than Murray...but I'd like to see David or Tomas win... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #66

I was surprised at how much he lost focus in that match..... marmar Sep 2012 #67

Also, he's lost focus against lesser players... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #68

I agree - I think RF could win the Australian or TBF Sep 2012 #69

I think Djoker is playing too well this tournament... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #70

That 2nd set between Nole and DelPo was insane !!!! marmar Sep 2012 #65

I am so glad you all are here posting MuseRider Sep 2012 #71
