Re: *The Official Tennis Thread*

And Venus marches on to the final. Should be a good matchup between Venus and Muguruza. I think Venus wins, she is as motivated as ever to win another major and knows that her chances are dwindling. Plus, she loves Wimbledon and had always said that this was the major she wants to wine from early on in her career. Would be quite the story if Venus and Roger both pulled off the wins. It would be 2007 all over again.

    Fed v Cilic for the title on the men's side. Should be a good match up.

    I was hoping this would at least be a little bit competitive. Federer is just absolutely ridiculous.

    I thought Cilic could get a set. I was wrong.

    Fed has to be the favorite at Flushing Meadows, right? Djokovic and Murray aren't healthy. Definitely not a Roland Garros-esque comfort level for Nadal, but I guess he has a chance when healthy. Del Po? Nishikori? Stan? I don't see it.

    The US Open will be interesting with, potentially, Novak and Andy either out or on the mend. (Thought I heard Chris Fowler say the both players were looking to take extended breaks after Wimbledon.) So, as you pointed out, who does that leave to battle Roger and Rafa in Flushing? Cilic has won there before, so don't count him out. Stan is the reigning champ, so you have to include him in the conversation. Del Po and Nishikori are on the radar as well. Outside of that, want to see how the hard court season shapes up in a few weeks to see who has the hot hand heading into the final major.

    Fed and Rafa still dominating, lmao. Cilic, Raonic, and Berdych were tough to watch, no toughness at all. it's 2017 people not 2009, STEP UP. ALL THE REST OF THESE MENS TENNIS PLAYERS ARE BUMS. wish Stan didn't get eliminated so early. give me something.

    very happy for Sam to finally reach a semis though

    That's crazy. I know he still lost, but that's awesome for Tiafoe.

    Tiafoe looks like he could have potential. Don't know a whole lot about him but maybe he's the next American hope for men's tennis.

    Wow, the carnage continues on the men's side at the US Open. Zverev and Tsonga lose last night. Dimitirov goes down this afternoon. Cilic is the highest seeded player, at 5, in the lower section of the draw, with Isner, at 10 ,the next highest seed in that end of the draw. Could very well see a flyer come out of the lower half, or maybe Sam Querry returns to a GS final for the second time this year. The women are little bit better off, but not by much. In the quarter that Sharapova is in, there is really no one that can match up with her. Maybe Sloan Stephens in the quarters, and that is a pretty big maybe.

    It was supposed to two years, then it was reduced to 15 months. She played a few tournaments in the spring, one in Germany comes to mind. The US Open is her first major since her suspension. The French and Wimbledon didn't give her a wild card.

    Sharapova is causing waves to at the US Open, and to just with her wins so far. Wozniacki was not happy that Sharapova got better court placement then her yesterday. And tomorrow, Sharapova is back on Ashe for her match too. Gotta put butts in the seats and keep the TV ratings up.

    Isner and Cilic bounced last night. Bottom half of the men's draw just got that much more open and a golden opportunity for the players left to make a GS final.

    Something definitely off with Fed but he's cruising past this dude.


    Definitely nothing wrong with his serve tho. Dude didn't even face a break point.

    I would have never bet on the possibility of the women's semis being all US women at the beginning of the tournament. Madison Keys still has to do her part tonight to make that a reality, but pretty amazing none the less for US tennis.

    Aussie Open nearing the end. The women's final should be a doozy between Halep and Wozniacki. Winner gets their first grand slam and will be the #1 player in the world.

    Halep Vs Kerber was insane hoping for a final of similar quality. I got Halep.

    Got the Fed v Chung match set to DVR. Planning to sit down with some bourbon after work and watch it. I'm going to dick punch anyone who spoils it for me at work tomorrow.

    Fact. Watched it this morning, knowing Halep had won but knowing how she won. That was an incredible match.
