US Open 2012

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes it, 4-0. How on earth he got that initial return so deep is beyond my comprehension.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for David Ferrer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points remaining. Djokovic flukes it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :lol:

:(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did Djokovic do that? :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

Ball bobbles on the net twice. 30-15.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic is serving for the second set, 5-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for David Ferrer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Incredible.

[Master Splinter]

Mister Fantastic :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Wow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh my god. :haha:

Set point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. That wasn't as good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again.

Djokovic's serve has been fairly rancid.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic for the third time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fourth set point. Djokovic is pushing David Ferrer back in to the stands.

[Master Splinter]

All the other top guys would surely have punished Djokovic's serve today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic finally takes the second set 6-1!

[Master Splinter]

6-1 and Ferrer probably should have broken twice. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer smashes it miles long. Can't help with Djokovic returning everything.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Djokovic.

:rose:

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic did break.

1-0.

There are two Djokovics on court I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Router died, stupid thing.

Incredible cross court winners from Djokovic again.

[Master Splinter]

Surely Ferrer can't just keep trying to take Djokovic on in these rallies?

Just do something different.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah trying to outlast Djokovic in rallies is a hiding to nothing today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. David Ferrer on Djokovic's serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Or perhaps not on a hiding to nothing, 2-2.

[Master Splinter]

Us :lol:.

[Syn]

You guys. :lol:

Unbelievable quality of tennis on show right now. The standard is very high. Two heavyweights slugging it out to become the US Open Runner-Up. This is why we love the game.

Come on Tennis.

And Come on Ferrer.

[Syn]

Both these guise could beat Murray if they play like this tbh.

Ferrer is being little bit special right now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Djokovic takes it, 4-3. And his massive balls on show again.

[Syn]

Oh nose.

Fuck this shit.

Ferrer bottling muppet.

Hate this sport.

I'll catch the highlights.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man up. What else is on?!

[Syn]

Genuinely nothing. First day in a while I haven't got annoying shit to do and there's no football or cricket or muzzatron. FML.

Can only see this going one way now. Been impressed by Ferrer though. Seems to be a cut above the Del Potro, Tsonga pubbers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three set points for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Djokovic took it 6-4.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Maybe five consecutive defeats in finals. Muzza might cut himself tomorrow. Let's hope he smacks this microphone headed ****. But he's very good.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic broke in the first game of the fourth set.

1-0.

[Master Splinter]

Peliwo took the first set 6-2 against Broady in the final of the boys singles.

[Master Splinter]

Double break for Djokovic.

3-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stupid internet.

Also, Djokovic is serving for the match, 5-2.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic serving for the match at 5-2.

[Kano]

missed most of this afternoons action.

i feel for ferrer - yesterday was his chance until God screwed him over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Genuinely nothing. First day in a while I haven't got annoying shit to do and there's no football or cricket or muzzatron. FML.

David Ferrer is a more talented BSP really.

Also, yes not a huge amount of sporting choices this week, it doesn't feel right if I don't have two sports on simultaneously.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maybe five consecutive defeats in finals. Muzza might cut himself tomorrow. Let's hope he smacks this microphone headed ****. But he's very good.

Muzza can draw inspiration from Lendl...who then went on to lose his next two GS finals after finally winning one. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic wins 2-6 6-1 6-4 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer didn't have a chance with Djokovic playing like that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I can tell that Azarenka is practicing behind the Sky pundits without even seeing it. :lol:

[Kano]

David Ferrer didn't have a chance with Djokovic playing like that.

he must be cursing the weather. he must've known his chances were reduced when he walked off last night as there was no way novak was going to be that out of sorts again. shame really.

murray is going to have to be absolutely perfect from the off tomorrow, just to stand a chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah if they had moved it to Armstrong it probably would've been worse for Djokovic. These things tend to happen to the best players in their best events though. :lol:

Djokovic hasn't lost a hardcourt GS match since the 2010 US Open final. :wacko:

[Master Splinter]

Murray won't be stupid enough to get drawn into brutal 30-shot power rallies on every point and play into Djokovic's hands.

If both play at their best, it could be really special.

No more terrible weather please.

[Master Splinter]

Broady took the second set 6-2 against Peliwo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Peliwo won 6-2 2-6 7-5.

[Master Splinter]

Canada :bow:.

GB :lol:.


Predictions for Serena v Azarenka?

In making my pre-tournament predictions I was banking on some pub-teamer catching Serena on one of her dodgy days and knocking her out. With that said, I'll show courage in my conviction by going for 6-4 2-6 6-2 Azarenka win.

(In reality Serena will win 6-4 6-2).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Women's Doubles Final result: Errani/Vinci beat Hlavackova/Hradecka 6-4 6-2!

Errani. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm going for Azarenka too. Mainly becaue I am fed up of Serena winning.

1-6 6-4 7-5.

[Master Splinter]

Broady's stats: http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/stats/day20/8601ms.html

I think he's Wozniacki. But she's not that double faulty.

GB :rose:.

Murray will have to carry them for another 30 years.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

At least his serving is better than Sharapova's.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Players are out on court now.

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Serena.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant shot up the line from Azarenka, deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Serena.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And that is saved too.

[Master Splinter]

Serena did indeed break.

She leads 3-0 now.

[Master Splinter]

Tardy, disconnected Maccy scares me. :(

The world is out of balance.

[Master Splinter]

Azarenka got Serena to deuce, but to no avail.

Serena leading 4-1.

[Master Splinter]

Azarenka being little bit bitch towards the umpire.

[Master Splinter]

Serena leads 5-2. Azarenka serving to stay in the set.

Serena is just Djokovicing the ball from all angles.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three set points for Serena.

[Master Splinter]

Blistering shots from Serena again.

She breaks to love and takes the first set 6-2.

[Master Splinter]

1-6 6-4 7-5.

Close enough.

It's on!

[Master Splinter]

Azarenka breaks!

It really is on.

[Master Splinter]

Azarenka survives a tough service game to go 3-1 up.

She's matching Serena blow for blow now.

[Cripps_orig]

Never heard of this Azarenka dude

Come on Serena

[Master Splinter]

Double break for Azarenka!!

4-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-1!

Azarenka. :bow:

Also, my internet. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Looks like this bint might be decent.

Could she be a threat to the Shazza/Serena dominance?

[Cripps_orig]

Azarenka takes the 2nd set 6-2

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka. :bow:

And she staves off more break points, 1-1 in the third set.

[Master Splinter]

Great play from Azarenka to hold serve.

1-1 in the third set.

[Master Splinter]

Azarenka breaks! :bow:.

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Azarenka. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Azarenka :doh:.

Serena breaks back.

[Master Splinter]

Serena holds and leads 3-2.

Azarenka let her off the hook in the previous game. It could prove costly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sod off Serena.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-3. :popcorn:

[Cripps_orig]

Come on Serena

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Azarenka!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka breaks to love and leads 4-3 in the third!

:dance:

[Master Splinter]

Don't fuck it up this time FFS.

[Cripps_orig]

:doh:

Serena is having a shocker

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena had the chance for two break points on her racquet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

She does however get given one break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just about hit the line. Deuce.

[Cripps_orig]

Listening to the Tennis on the radio is funny

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka holds! Serena is serving to stay in the Championship at 3-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

30-30...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

44 unforced errors from Serena. :lol:

Having said that, Azarenka has got a lot of depth on her shots.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena holds. Azarenka will serve for the Championship. :pray:

[Cripps_orig]

Azarenka serves for the match and arguably the biggest shock of all time

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-30...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Serena. FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That is some save for the first of them.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Azarenka went to the bottle bank....

[Cripps_orig]

Serena breaks back

Only one winner now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena breaks back, 5-5. Fuck it.

[Master Splinter]

Awlful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka is serving to stay in the Championship and force a third set tie-break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

40-30. Brilliant from Azarenka at the net.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Azarenka. Serena trying to annihilate the second serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Azarenka had the open court, hits the net.

[Cripps_orig]

Championship point Serena

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Championship point for Serena. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena wins 6-2 2-6 7-5. Fuck off tbf.

[Cripps_orig]

Serena wins 6-2 2-6 7-5

Azarenka :haha:

Serena :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Predictions

Murray and Serena

Me :bow:

[Master Splinter]

There was nothing in that match.

Well done to Serena.

Azarenka let it slip away though. The mental strength of Hleb.

[Cripps_orig]

My predictions:

Azarenka and Federer.

:haha:

Another shocker from MS

Tis a shame youre not a cricket fan tbh. Could have made it a hat trick of having shockers in sports.

[Cripps_orig]

Just realised Azarenka is number one in the world :lol:

The new Jankovic/Ivanovic/Safina/Wozniacki?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:rolleyes:

[Master Splinter]

They barely said anything.

Bring back Sue tbf.

[Kano]

great match - best womens final i've seen in a long time.

[Cripps_orig]

When does the main event start?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Just realised Azarenka is number one in the world :lol:

The new Jankovic/Ivanovic/Safina/Wozniacki?

:haha:

Womens tennis :rose:

Was a good match, good final but Azarenka shocked me tbh and she bottled it imo nothing to do with exprience and 5-3 she should have put it away. Sharapova or Kivotva would have.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Serena wins 6-2 2-6 7-5. Fuck off tbf.

Not a serena fan eh?

Me :bow:

Said those 2 as well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena can do one, basically.

Men's final starts at about 9:20 ish I think.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

[QUOTE=McNamara That Ghost...;190878]Serena can do one,

[Kano]

i think she appears to be a spoilt brat off the court but on it, she is a fascinating watch.

powerful but quietly intense behind her strong build make her such interesting to figure out on court.

[GP]

She's sure got some balls.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why, whats she done that so bad ot worse then anyone female player.

Apart from glare at line judges whenever they dare to say, give her a foot fault? :lol: And as far as we know, say to a line judge she will kill her? :lol:

Look, I know there is a story of her return from possible death of her injuries but for one, I don't like her demeanour and for another which is more relevant for tennis, I hate seeing outright power dominate everything.

Also Women's Tennis is boring on the whole

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

In terms of entertainment value, the men's game is probably as good as it has ever been....in terms of an open competitive field not so much
Since Wimbledon 2010, no-one out of the exclusive group of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray has made it even to a Grand Slam final....in fact it's fairly a common occurrence for that quartet to make up the semi final line ups as well. I know Murray isn't on the same platform as Nadal, Federer and Djokovic but he's consistently better than anyone else on the tour.
Also there are no youngsters coming through at the moment, the likes of Raonic and Tomic don't look anywhere near the standard needed to compete for majors.
Look how young Nadal was when he won his first major, there is no-one of that age bracket currently or even of 20-21 getting near the business end of Grand Slams.

[Cripps_orig]

Not sure if i should watch the final tonight or not or just follow it on bbc website/radio

Not the same but i cba going downstairs to watch something that might go on for hours

They have raised the bar considerably high for everything; mental strength, playing abilities, physicality, physical longevity. There are still good players on the tour but if they are just short on only one of those areas, they're unlikely to beat those guys - or if they beat one, they won't beat the other.

There's no doubt in my mind that Federer - Nadal is what has pushed Djokovic to go completely mental. Without them, he probably wouldn't be the monolith he is now. And that's the thing, they can keep pushing and pushing each other but eventually they go so high up the scale that it leaves the others with not a hope in hell as it stands. And that's the case for Masters events too, let alone Grand Slams!

However, Federer and Nadal are the most likeliest to go (not that I expect them to for another two years at least yet).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Go down when someone is a set away from winning it. Having said that, it could be a repeat of the Australian Open semi. :lol:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Isn't it basically the two greatest bus-parkers on the tour. Yet it's actually interesting. Tennis :bow:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Bus-Parking?....compared to what.....serve-volleying which has practically been made redundant by the athleticism of the top four. For me it's just good court coverage.

Nadal must have the knees of a sixty year old with arthritis.....it's not good for a player his age to have had the injuries he has had and to have missed the tournaments he has....you look at Federer he's pretty much featured in every Grand Slam for the past ten years. I wouldn't be surprised if he has called time on his career by the time he is 30. Federer could still have a few years left in him but I think he will struggle to win anymore majors....Djokovic will dominate the hard courts....Nadal will own Roland Garros for a few more years and Wimbledon is a toss up between them. It will be interesting to see if Nadal can win seven more grand slams in his career to overtake Federer (assuming of course Federer remains on 17 and for the life of me I can't see where he will pick up another one) I'd like to think not because although Nadal is an exceptional athlete and can wear anyone down, i think Federer is the more consummate all round Tennis player with more variety in his locker.

It was just a cheap reference to these two having brilliant defences, and how it's actually interesting compared to say, Stoke-Blackburn. I like it too. Djokovic is phenomenal.

I think he will win in five tonight, unfortunately.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Last 5 quid I had in my Paypal account tbh, thought I might as well send it to Sky Bet.

could have given it to me, when i say thank you it wouldn't just be an automated response.

That said i am being a bit disingenuous.....he's got a chance.....but fact is I don't think he's played that well this tournament and he's had for me a far easier route to the final than Djokovic. I think if Berdych hadn't gone walkabout mentally in sets two and three.....i think he'd be playing in the final tonight not Murray.
Of course we can all go on about how close the semi was between Djokovic and Murray in Melbourne this year, but was it really that close.....Murray fought back really well after going a set down to go 2-1 ahead....but Djokovic absolutely blitzed him in the fourth set and for me despite breaking back there only ever looked like one winner in the fifth set.
Don't get me wrong I don't think Djokovic is at the same level he was at the start of the year, but neither is Murray for me......certainly no where near the form that brought him Olympic Gold......i think if this match had been played at the start of August I'd actually make Murray clear favorite to win....he was in the best form of his career and Djoko was stuttering along.....but despite a dodgy serve against Ferrer yesterday Djokovic looks in fits and starts to being near his best where as Murray has been misfiring all over the place.
Don't get me wrong he has shown remarkable fortitude this past fortnight.....he was in a bind against Feliciano Lopez and served his way out of it in the fourth set, very few people are capable of winning a set at 5-1 down but he did it against Cilic (who let's be fair completely crumbled after that) and to come back to win the tie break against Berdych from 4-1 down when the big Czech was clearly firing on all cylinders again was also impressive, but it's been very intermittent there has been flashes of Murray at his best combined with the Murray who dropped his serve twice in a row to Alex Bogmaolov Jnr and Feliciano Lopez....and being absolutely pulled apart by Marin Cillic for a great deal of the second set.
My point is a lot of these errors have come about through concentration lapses and complacency, with the exception of a tornado strewn first set and a low first serve percentage against David Ferrer...Novak Djokovic hasn't shown any such lapses....and has by defeating Del Potro and Ferrer respectively seen off two of the games' biggest hitters.
I think Murray needs to win the toss and serve first, because being on the back foot constantly against Djokovic will wear him down and i think he will need to take the opening set if he wants to win the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I've been thinking Djokovic will win in three sets.

that rally was ridiculous. novak is an amazing athlete

murray looking good so far

The wind + Murray slowing it down is not giving Djokovic anything to work with at the moment.

Impressive Murray can slow down the wind

[Syn]

It's coming home, lads.

Stay calm and ghel on.

Come on Muzza.

And come on Britain.

This will without a doubt be the best thing any Brit has done all summer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic pummels Muzza with that serve.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

you'd think with it being on clay it would be quicker but it seems slower

weird camera angle too

[Kano]

Impressive Murray can slow down the wind
fergie must've had a word with god this morning

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The wind is just making the ball float.

Its not on clay

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

The wind is just making the ball float.

same with the camera tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Djokovic!

[Master Splinter]

Murray :doh:.

What a sitter.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Its not on clay

that is true. i should really stick to talking about things i actually know about. then again that probably isn't much tbh.

argument still stands though, hard court > grass but it doesn't seem so.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a point! Djokovic breaks back.

[Cripps_orig]

Djokovic breaks back

Whoever wins this set wins the match

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grass is faster than hard courts which is faster than clay. They're all a lot closer than they used to be though.

[Kano]

novak is starting to dictate now, andy moving deeper and chasing

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Its not on clay

:lol:

Fake tennis fans :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic has activated Beast Mode with Massive Bollocks add-on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did the line judge miss that? Clearly out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds to love after nailing one up the line. Muzza serving to stay in the first set.

[Kano]

How did the line judge miss that? Clearly out.

he should kill her

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

[Kano]

murray needs a big shot to really spark him

[Kano]

another of those will do it

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray holds, 5-5.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Muzza :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

WTF Muzza :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another love service from Djokovic.

[Kano]

man this is tense

[Olivier's xmas twist]

6-5 Novak, Muzza serving to stay in the set.

[Master Splinter]

The numerous break chances passed up are likely to catch up with Murray now.

Djokovic to enter Freak Mode at the end of the set?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

30-30...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

An ace. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza holds. It's tiebreak time.

[Kano]

nicely done. keep that level for the tie break

[Cripps_orig]

Tie break time

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brave from Djokovic, he has the minibreak though.
