Look at all the final concerts of rock bands that were anything but.

Right..., Henin, Clysters and Hingis to name just a few.
Too bad Ferrer couldn't pull it off this afternoon.
You know Nadal's going to slay Robredo any minute....

Growing up in Sunnyside (20 minutes from Forest Hills by bus or subway), my tennis playing aunt took me at least once & sometimes more every year. I saw players like Althea Gibson, Ken Rosewall, Laver, Margaret Court, Panchos Gonzalez & Segura etc. How could I forget Ilie Nastase (since I have 2 adopted Romanian kids).
I've been watching on & off since the US Open began. In HS, I was on the tennis team, but haven't hit in over 10 years.

I never thought these words would come from my mouth: "I love you, Chris"

Indeed: 6-0, 6-2 en 6-2
Well, Suarez Navarro > 6-0 6-0 . I haven't heard of Suarez Navarro, and I doubt we ever will! I'm all for Pennetta winning this Grand Slam, by the way. She's pretty!
I'm "in" ... I only watch the grand slam tournaments.
(I cannot play the game for shit - 'cuz I have approximately zero eye/hand coordination.)

I only went to the Open once as a kid growing up on Long Island, saw Ashe play.

Talking about concerts, I was at the Joan Baez concert at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in 1966 when she introduced a young kid that no one had heard of. He sang 3 songs, "Masters Of War", "With God On Our Side" & "Blowin' In The Wind", and even though his "Freewheelin'" album was a year away, already had those songs written.
After that night and the ensuing articles in the NY Times & Village Voice, more & more people started to be aware of this guy.
The whole audience that night was completely gobsmacked and gave this unknown dude a standing ovation.

Suarez Navarro against Serena on hard courts should be illegal, though she did beat Kerber in the 4th round somehow.Well, Suarez Navarro > 6-0 6-0 . I haven't heard of Suarez Navarro, and I doubt we ever will! I'm all for Pennetta winning this Grand Slam, by the way. She's pretty!
Pennetta is still hot, yes!
Giorgia , Hantuchova, Sharapova and Ivanovic are also gorgeous.

Cibulkova is IT for me! Ormaecha isn't bad either.
On another topic, why on Earth do people who are in the stands watching matches listen to the
commentators at the same time? It's annoying enough often times on TV. It's part of our weird
culture, I suppose.
Add Mandy Minella and Julia Georges to the list!
Of the current ones, I'd take Lisicki.
Forgot about her.

And your point being?
OK then, Kuznetsova for you!
I just discovered that Ormaechea strings her own rackets! Go Paula go.

Murray's out - good, that guy is such a whiner. Hopefully Wawrinka can go all the way!
Yeah, Murray's always been moody & inconsistent.
It would be awesome to watch Wawrinka take down the mighty Nadal.
we'll see.....,
