Kvitova. :haha:

Azarenka - Halep is on next.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep takes the first set 6-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Azarenka takes the second set 6-4!

[Kano]

Poor Annabel. We are subjected to that big jawed gimp waffling on inanely and instead of Croft getting her rightful chance for mid-game analysis on a women's quarter-final, she is made out to be an idiot who doesn't get broadcasting rules.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka breaks, 2-0 she leads in the third!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azareka leathered that to save break point. :lol:

Well, the first of them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep does eventually break back though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rain stops play. Bollocks.

[Kano]

Rubbish American builders ruining another Open :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rusedski is a fucking goon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Rusedski School of Punditry - ignore the question you were asked and talk some other shit instead.

[Kano]

It's wall to wall Greg for the foreseeable future.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One of the World No 1 players?

Er.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed - Agassi final from 2005. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan v Anderson moved to Louis Armstrong. No surprise there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka and Halep are on their way out again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep breaks and leads 4-3 in the third set!

[Kano]

They are absolutely hammering the shit out of each other out there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka is serving to stay in the match!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka holds, Halep to serve it out.

[Kano]

At least I don't have to see that fucking Ballers trailer anymore.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Halep!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep beats Azarenka 6-3 4-6 6-4!

[Kano]

Very good match that.

[Kano]

Ah Jesus they're still playing it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan takes the first set agaisnt Anderson 6-4.

Gasquet - Fed is about to start.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great work at the net to break on the third of them. He leads 4-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed spraying winners everywhere. Three set points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All three saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gasquet holds on, Fed to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes the first set 6-3. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan takes the second set against Anderson 6-4!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great backhand down the line, two break points for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer absolutely rips a crosscourt forehand to break, 2-1 he leads in the second.

Gasquet. :lol:

Getting torn a new one again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a dropshot. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan gives Anderson a good kicking, 6-4 6-4 6-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes the second set 6-3, Gasquet double faults to give it away. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks to love and leads 2-0 in the third set. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man with the double break and will serve for the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Feed slaughters Gasquet 6-3 6-3 6-1.

Djokovic vs Cilic
Wawrinka vs Federer are the semi finals.

All four are Slam winners!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Winners count:

Federer: 50
Gasquet: 8.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The weather is a bit shit and likely to be the case throughout.

Sky are having to pad out their coverage. Currently showing the 1997 final.

Rusedski. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now for the 1979 Doubles final to show Fleming. :lol:

[Kano]

Sounds like an immensely shit evenings entertainment lined up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Somehow the doubles semi-finals are due to start but the Women's semi-finals don't start until midnight. :doh:

[Kano]

Oh jesus. Well nothing to watch tonight then. Hopefully God has a night off tomorrow night.

[Kano]

Flushing Meadows now sounding like the missing fifth runway at JFK.

[Kano]

Murray makes it to the final :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Congrats to him. Sick of seeing Judy though.

Women's singles are being held over until tomorrow.

All four semi finals tomorrow - men's to start from 10pm onwards. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pennetta is up 5-1 in the first set against Halep. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pennetta takes the first set 6-1. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pennetta breaks and leads 1-0 in the second set. Jesus wept.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep breaks back, 1-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Halep breaks and leads 3-1 in the second set. Mental match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Back on serve. :doh:

[Kano]

What the? How the hell did Halep let that happen in the first set?

On my way home - is the other women's semi on after or at the same time in Armstrong?

[Kano]

Wow, 6-1, 6-3 Pennetta. All lined up for a Serena cakewalk now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep. :doh:

Back on serve for the Serena - Vinci match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena is now up a break. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena takes the first set 6-2. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rusedski was in full-on moron mode earlier - talking about Seles' stabbing as a reason to why he doubts Graf being the GOAT, the Clijsters Sisters(?!) and three match sets.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vinci break and leads 3-2 in the second set. Please hold.

[Kano]

That courtside in the crowd reporting is utterly pointless and looks ridiculous.

[Kano]

An all Italian final, in New Yawk? Somebody better vet the officials for the game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena serving to stay in the second set!

[Kano]

Vinci giving Serena the type of match Sugarpova never could have done.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And she does so. Can't see Vinci serving this out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful error from Serena, 30-30. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point. FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well saved!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Vinci!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vinci takes the second set 6-4! :bow:

[Kano]

She's got the game but it's going to come down to nerve. She seems pretty calm though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena breaks. Disgusting.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena double faults to give it back.

Line judges trying to call in serves that don't reach the service box.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-3. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena. :lol:

Pub level of tennis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce on Serena's serve. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a point! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get on with it Serena.

[Kano]

Vinci :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Vinci!

:pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vinci breaks and leads 4-3! Come on!!

:bow:

[Kano]

Now it really comes down to nerve for Vinci but she's seemed really calm throughout this whole thing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here comes the power. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Serena. Disgusting.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena drags it wide!

:haha:

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Vinci.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double fault. :doh:

[Kano]

Those first serves in this game are costing Vinci.

[Kano]

But that forehand :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vinci holds, Serena serving to stay in the match!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vinci to serve it out and end the reign of terror!

[Master Splinter]

:haha:

WTF is going on?

Vinci has a 0-7 record against her.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena just fucked it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Superb at the net from Vinici again. :bow:

[Kano]

That drop shot shows this is Vinci's.

[Master Splinter]

Vinci taking the piss!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three match points!!!!!

[Kano]

Serena :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vinci dumps Serena out and stops her defiling of tennis! She wins 2-6 6-4 6-4!!!! :haha:

Serena. :haha:

Out you go.

Vinci. :bow:

GOAT.

[Kano]

What a way to end it :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://www.wallpapersfacts.com/wp-content/gallery/steffi-graf/steffi-graf-laughing.jpg

[Master Splinter]

:haha: :haha:

Vinci the biggest troll ever :bow:.

Serena was one match away!

Azarenka, Keys or Venus couldn't do it, but Vinci did!

:haha: :haha:

[Kano]

Serena tried to put it but nope.

Vinci may look about fifty but nerves of steel.

Give her the title now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vinci. :haha:

[Kano]

Personality, skills, Serena slayer, where the hell has this woman been??

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Interviewers are useless.

[Master Splinter]

Personality, skills, Serena slayer, where the hell has this woman been??

Hanging with Dustin Brown, Steve Darcis, Bradford City and West Ham.

And winning loads of doubles titles.

[Kano]

Interviewers are useless.

It's a pre-requisite for the job.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bouchard's fall in the shower. :bow:

This may not have happened without it.

[Master Splinter]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/34217634

McEnroe :haha:.

Stick to the men's game, you mug.

[Kano]

Hanging with Dustin Brown, Steve Darcis, Bradford City and West Ham.

And winning loads of doubles titles.
Seedings :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Vinci won less points than Serena:

http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/stats/day18/2601ms.html

:haha:

WUMtastic in every way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena being as charming as usual.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McEnroe missed the match. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hingis and Paes in the mixed doubles final, about to start.

Hingis. :bow:

Old Man Paes. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hingis/Paes take the first set 6-4! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mattek-Sands/Querrey take the second 6-3 though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hingis/Paes win 6-4 3-6 10-7! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic - Cilic is about to start.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic has his ice skates on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Djokovic. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Djokovic break on the third of them, 2-0 he leads in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a backhand down the line.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double fault. 4-0.

Cilic. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cilic went for the dropshot. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic.

Cilic is getting absolutely shat on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the first set 6-0!

:haha:

[Kano]

14 and 0 it is then.

Tsonga was the only one who would've stood half a chance in this semi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cilic is on the board! :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks and leads 3-1 in the second set.

Dear me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic will serve for the second set at 5-1. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Djokovic takes the second set 6-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And another break. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should have got Vinci back out there.

[Kano]

I mean Jesus, this is the number nine ranked player in the world. Utterly destroyed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Cilic. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Outstanding volley from Cilic, he breaks back!

:wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Djokovic, the comeback was a bit shortlived.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic gets the break, leads 3-2. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic will serve for the match. If it was first to six, Cilic would be in the set soon.

[Kano]

It's a shame really. Another four sets and we could've at least had a tie break at this rate.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic annihilates Cilic 6-0 6-1 6-2.

:haha:

[Kano]

:faint:

[Master Splinter]

100% break point success rate for Cilic :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Come on Stan!

Give the tennis world the final it wants.

[Kano]

Stop calling him Stan The Man. And Stan, stop wearing your own t-shirts you tool.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Players on court now. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rusedski says the same thing for the 472874474th time in the last 10 minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan getting attacked by bugs. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah balls Sky's commentary is not in sync again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ah balls Sky's commentary is not in sync again.

You mean you don't mute it? :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I can't bring myself to watch sport muted, sadly.

I think it has been sorted out now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor return from Stan on a second serve. Break point also.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed holds on, 1-1.

Cilic. :haha:

Both players already doing better than him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SABR!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for the Old Man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks and leads 2-1 in the first set! :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Stan the Man :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Stan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All three saved.

Stan doing the reverse SABR. How far back was he?!

[Kano]

Stan blows it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serverer to the rescue. 2-4.

[Master Splinter]

Stan the Man turned into Murray on those break points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a point! :haha:

4-3.

[Kano]

Fuck off Lenny.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan serving to stay in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he does so, Feederer to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double fault. :lol:

One set point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes the first set 6-4! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Federer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan holds, 0-1 he leads.

[Master Splinter]

Arrest him!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crazy forehand winner from Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Federer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All three saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan volleys in to the net! Adv. Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Another booming serve from Stan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Fed. :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again!

[Master Splinter]

Stan the man not currently executing his game plan with the elan we know he can.

Clan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan holds on and leads 2-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three more break points for Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks to love and leads 4-3 in the second set!

[Master Splinter]

So Djokovic in five on Sunday?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer's games are just stupdly quick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan serving to stay in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

JesusFed making an appearance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three set points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan shanks it to give Fed the set 6-3!

:scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

16 winners to 3 UE for Federer. :wacko:

[Munchies]

Maccy updates :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We see footage of McEnroe for some reason.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks, 3-1 in the third set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point again. Stan just needed the court to be a bit bigger in all dimensions.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Federer. He will serve for the match!

[Master Splinter]

Federer using Action Replay cheat codes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer gives Stan a good kicking, 6-4 6-3 6-1!

In to the final for the first time since 2009. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

This was like when the Invincibles team went to Portsmouth in the FA Cup in 2004 and gave them a good kicking and they applauded because it was little bit exceptional.

[Kano]

Murray and Peers lose the first set 6-4.

[Kano]

And the second set goes the same way, 6-4. :rose:

[Kano]

Fake Beyoncé opening up proceedings.

[Kano]

One break each so far, 5-4 Vinci, Pennetta serving.

[Kano]

6-5 Vinci, Pennetta to serve, tie break looking likely.

[Kano]

Mini break to Pennetta, 4-3. Vinci breaks back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pennetta can serve it out.

[Kano]

Pennetta breaks again, 5-4, back on her serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points for Pennetta. :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Pennetta takes the first set 7-6 (7-4).

[Kano]

First set to Pennetta.

Quite a timid first set, neither really going for it.

[Kano]

Beautiful shot from Vinci :bow:

[Kano]

Great point.

[Kano]

Really hotting up now. Some great shots coming into play. Vinci spraying it around but Pannetta defending very well.

[Kano]

Pannetta breaks, 2-0 and serving.

[Kano]

Pannetta saves a break point and leads 3-0.

[Kano]

Pannetta breaks again, 4-0.

Vinci :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:(

At least Vinci saved tennis.

[Kano]

Vinci breaks back! Can she..??

[Kano]

4-2 Pannetta.

Come on Tim!

[Kano]

Apocalypse brewing over New York.

[Kano]

No Vinci can't. 5-2 Pannetta at the sit down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vinci serving to stay in the Championship.

[Kano]

Three Championship points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done to Pennetta.

Vinci. :(

[Kano]

There it is. She deserves that, rock steady throughout the entire match.

[Kano]

This is what happens when the usual faces don't show up in the finals (of any sport). Something a bit more genuine and less cynical.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pennetta retires? Not a bad way to go out really.

[Kano]

Just imagine the Serena fawning that would be going on right now, the usual 'gracious' speeches before sucking out more acclaim. That was a great way to end a final and a career.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It favours Djokovic if it is windy?

2012 final anybody? :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hingis/Mirza beat Dellacqua/Shvedova 6-3 6-3 in the Women's Doubles Final. :bow:

Sky's programme for the final is on in a minute.

[Kano]

I think Greg might be seeping a little bit he's so excited.

[Kano]

The Artist v The Machine coming up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rusedski must think he is pressed for time. Quickest sentence construction in the world.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ballers is still a thing.
