pettie4sox Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 That semifinal was brutal to watch Mugu just destroyed her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Not a good final for men's either. Â Cilic started weeping in second set. Â Go Rog though. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogua Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 It's hard to imagine any argument against his GOAT status. Just incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 How is it for the last 10 or more years the only names in Men's tennis that matter is Federer/Nadal/Djokovic/Murray, it should be a young mans sport  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fitness level required to be in the top tier of tennis players simply isn't possible at a young age. Not only do guys have to develop all the shots and then develop in the mental side of the game against top players, but they have to be on crazy fitness regimens to survive a 5-set match as part of a 7-match, 2-week tournament. It may never be a young man's game again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I historically liked Sharapova because I thought she was really crafty and dug deep in matches to come back when she was dead on the ropes. Â But I've really hated the way she has handled everything around her suspension. Really comes across as she wants this to be like an underdog comeback tour for her, and I don't know why she should deserve that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really comes across as she wants this to be like an underdog comeback tour for her, and I don't know why she should deserve that.  I think the suspension was pretty ridiculous in length. I've always liked her. Would be better if Serena was playing, in case they met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 03:32 PM) Maria back at US Open  They didn't have a choice but to let her in with all the star power gone. Obviously Serena is out, but the mens bracket is getting decimated now.  Wawrinka, Djokovic and Nishikori were 3 of the 4 semifinalists last year, all of them are out. Federer and Murray are questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Yeah, US open has had a pretty nice run of storylines recently though, due for a clunker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 On the flip side, I'm happy to see some fresh faces have a chance. I don't think he has the fitness yet to win a major, but Sasha Zverev has serious game. He just won two tournaments in a row before losing today in Cincinnati. He'll be a top 10 seed, maybe top 5 if there's that many out of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 It should give some play to the young Americans too, but, if I was going to the open this year I'd be pretty pissed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 28, 2017 -> 07:32 PM) Sharapova v Halep is a hell of a first round matchup  And Maria wins first step. Ridiculous that Halep has to face her. All Maria did for 15 months was work out. It's not like she just got off the bench and the 2 seed should walk through.

Been a great first two nights of first-rounders. Sharapova-Halep lived up to expectations and Federer-Tiafoe was surprisingly great. Even Zverev's match was strangely competitive (although not that good). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Wow. Went to bed after Roger won the 3rd set. I do want a USA contender in men's so bad. Like it was growing up.. I could get behind Tiafoe. Edited August 30, 2017 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GamesToLove Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) I love tennis for the diversity of levels/locales that go along with it, and for the fact that a few times a year the worlds collide. For example... Â I've seen both Federer and Tiafoe play in person. Federer on Cincy's center court, Wimbledon's Centre Court, and just a few weeks ago, Montreal's center court. Â Tiafoe I saw playing at the Challenger in Winnetka two years back. (champion gets $7,000) Â Just one example, it's fun to see how many of those Winnetka Challenger guys show up at the big tournaments, often playing top seeds.

bmags Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 If I could make myself as a tennis player in a video game, mostly for aesthetics I'd give myself Tiafoe's forehand and Roger's backhand. Was fun last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was fun last night. I love Fed, but if we're picking it would be Nadal's forehand and Wawrinka's backhand. I realize Nadal is a lefty and Wawrinka is a righty so that's the same side, but you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
