Sep 2012

It went 5 and Roger won 7-5 in the fifth...it was the changing of the guard and even the commentators noted that. Roger fell to the ground on match point but then jumped up quickly, knowing he shouldn't keep Sampras waiting...apparently the snowbank incident worked!

True - the timing seemed kind of weird but it TBF Aug 2012 #18

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

He was never my favorite player.....He could be such a petulant ass on court sometimes, but.... marmar Aug 2012 #13

Today's Spoiler... joeybee12 Aug 2012 #8

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

He's good... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #36

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

Spoilers... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #44

Looking forward to watching MuseRider Sep 2012 #45

Yeah, what was up with that? joeybee12 Sep 2012 #46

It was kinda awful, MuseRider Sep 2012 #47

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

From the limited info provided by Justin Gimelstob, it seems...... marmar Sep 2012 #49

Sad about Mardy, hope he's ok TBF Sep 2012 #48

Looks like Mother Nature is going to wreak havoc today. marmar Sep 2012 #51

Yes, and a spoiler... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #52

Great match though. marmar Sep 2012 #53

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

Every time I watch her play and see her odd mechanics......... marmar Sep 2012 #55

I guess that match has officially been put off until tomorrow... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #56

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
