US Open 2012

Azarenka wins 6-1 4-6 7-6 (7-5)! Great match.

Azarenka :bow:.

Stosur :haha:.

Sharapova vs Balotelli on next.

I find it hard to watch her, she is batshit crazy.

Errani/Vinci beat Goerges/Peschke 6-2 7-6 (7-2) earlier. :popcorn:

Rain. SS showing us Agassi - Connors, 89 QF. :wacko: Change it up...

It's funny how McEnroe gets the reputation of being a prick on court and Connors seems to get away with it.

Probably because McEnroe has built his entire post-tennis career on it and dined out the shtick surrounding him?

Connors stepped away from the limelight for the most part and is not really a 'personality' either.

There is that, McEnroe can't help but reference those things every single time. Think he is encouraged to by the goons on BBC's coverage though.

Charlie, they are at Roland Garros I think - well, they're thinking about it anyway.

Also, players are back out on court. Been changed to the schedule so Del Potro and Roddick aren't delayed by too much. Stan vs Djokovic will be on Armstrong after Ferrer vs Gasquet has concluded.

Bartoli breaks and leads 2-0 in the first set.

Sharapova. :lol:

Three break points for Bartoli.

:haha:

Bartoli robbed tbh.

Sharapova got lucky with the call of replaying a point. Deuce now.

Bartoli breaks eventually! 4-0. Double fault from Sharapova. :haha:

I don't think Castle and Barker commissioned all the terrible adverts he's appeared in or his numerous cameos in dreck like Wimbledon.

Sharapova WTF is i with her.

No but they are the ones that plant the seeds of references everytime somebody has a disagreement with an umpire. He doesn't help himself though, it's true.

I haven't watched Wimbledon, I figured it would be a bit shit.

Tornado Black? And a sister called Hurricane? :haha:

1998? FFS.

Tsunami and Typhoon are surely the next ones to come from that family.

Rain stops play again, time for another Boris Becker/Ivan Lendl replay?

Ah shame, showing Muzza vs Raonic again, wouldn't have minded seeing the Becker/Lendl match from 1992.

I'm not as old as Coney or 70-year-old Ach, but someone born in 1998 competing in big sporting competitions is a bit mental.


Rain needs to GTFO.

Play finally back underway and Ferrer beats Gasquet 7-5 7-6 (7-2) 6-4.

Roddick a break up against Del Potro at 5-2.

Two poor misses from Roddick hand Del Potro the break back as he was serving for the set.

5-4 Roddick now.

Roddick v Del Potro into a first set tie-break.

Djokovic breaks Wawrinka to instantly go 2-0 up.

Tipsarevic a break up against Kohlschreiber too, at 5-2.

And then then the rain comes down again. :doh:

The US Open organisers are undoubtedly the worst in the world at what they do.

Robbson was 14 when she started So were the Williams sisters and Sharaposer. Don't see the problem with it.

Bartoli vs Sharapova is first on Ashe. Then Roddick vs Del Potro.

He's saying it just feels weird because 1998 seems not that long ago. He's not saying it shouldn't be allowed or anything. :lol:

Are they on court yet.

Not yet, raining again. :lol:

However I think they did manage to dry the court before the (very) latest batch of rain. Won't be too long away, with any luck.

McEnroe vs Connors 1984 semi-final is being shown now. :lol:

That was a terrible volley by Connors to give McEnroe the third set.

:haha:

Rusedski has had enough of Becker being there - he's trying make him coach Tsonga.
