The Official Tennis Thread (Vol. 2024 US Open)

[rolaholic]

Why is the heat policy only for the women? They don't care about the men? We feel the heat too.

The WTA and ATP are seperate organizations with their own rules. Blame the ATP for not having precautions in place in the event of extreme heat.

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Ugh.. Halep pushed it to a 3rd set.. c'mon Boom Boom!!

 

[otakuant]

The record number of retirements from last week should hopefully be enough to convince the ATP that a rule needs to be in place by 2016's US Open.

Let's go, Halepeno! Not sure how much she has left in the tank, though...

 

[aepps20]

Sabine is an unforced error machine.

 

[otakuant]

72 UFEs.

I think Vika's gonna win in straight sets.

 

[Sinner]

BoomBoom kept her in this... what an ugly match.  

On form, Vika's the fav... but it'll also depend on Simona's recovery... from whatever her quad issue is. 

 

[aepps20]

Halep stays hurt or injured. Vika should win but her stamina hasn't been great all year.

 

[shogun]

vika got that unathletic looking body.

 

[Sinner]

Yeah, she gained a bit of weight when she was out injured... pretty much all of 2014.  She'll need more matches to get back into better playing-shape.  

Kev playing so well. 

 

[slighted]

Murray is playing horribly now. No answers at all to Kev's playing.

Kev just needs to close this out in 3.

 

[adrian1221]

I feel like underdogs have been putting up a fight every match I watched (not to say I've watched a lot)

This dude Murray is playing has a monster of a forehand.

 

[heliumclinton]

I'm tired of them putting the sisters against each other

 

[dmxfury]

Can't stand Murray hope he gets bounced

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

3rd set tiebreak... here we go..

 

[otakuant]

Come on, Andy! I need you to take out Stan in the QFs, then lose to Fed in the semis.

 

[tsamshox]

Anderson/Murray is LIT right now

 

[anaturalwonder]

What a comeback by Andy! 

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Here we go again..

 

[adrian1221]

My gosh anderson what a return of serve on the tiebreak! 

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

What a tiebreaker.. Anderson exorcising demons out there. Congrats on the win.

 

[adrian1221]

Im excited for this fella. He hits so hard and finally made the QFs.

Fed vs Isner next!

 

[anaturalwonder]

What a match! I enjoyed every second of it. If Anderson can utilize his drop shots a little more he would be so much more of a threat. Great effort by both players. On to the next!

 

[dmxfury]

 

[thadangerousmind]

Damn Isner lost that tiebreak with God speed.

 

[adrian1221]

Its incredible how isner hasn't been broken in over a year.
