US Open 2011

[Cripps_orig]

GB had 3 boys in the semis of the boys tournament.

Could this be the next golden generation after the brilliant Bogdanovic, Arvind Parmar, Lee Childs etc era?

[Cripps_orig]

Was it true?

(Genuine question...I don't want to shock you all but I don't really follow tennis)

Certainly seemed like the crowd were backing Federer today until right at the end.

I wouldnt say necessarily against him but the other big name players were more likable than him but as the pundits just said now, Djokovic changed his ways and does this kind of things, interacts with the crowd etc

Lee Childs

The best they can hope for is the Bates/Mottram 'level' (hopefully without the National Front affiliation of the latter)

After he saved the first match point with that 'gamble' return, it was quite weird seeing him play to the crowd - it almost seemed like he'd given up. But maybe that was his way of avoid getting pressured.

Doubt I have the energy/concentration to last the Murray game so I'll bow out.

Come on Tim.

And come on Tennis.

"This is how I see it - Andy Murray in the final on Monday" - Petch gets paid by the hour...

Players are out

Another comfortable win for the Spaniard?

Murray to win the first set and then choke ala Wimbledon?

Can see it happening
