It wasn't that great of a match. It makes me think they need some kind of compromise, like a tie break when it reaches 18-18 or something. There was a point in the fifth where they were just too tired to react and make good returns. No matter how tired most pro tennis players are, they can...

Wow. No excuses from Federer in the interview. Very classy as usual. He admits that he should have lost and was just lucky.He said his opponent played really good and kept him neutralized for the first 3 sets.

LOL @ that one line judge getting LOW and really dramatic.

I think he will play until he is injured or can no longer win slams. He wants to put a big slam gap between himself and Sampras so he will be the GOAT for as long as possible.

HAHA! Perfect timing for that pic. Also, what's up with ESPN's pic of Murray that they keep showing? He looks overly photoshopped with perfect skin like a model or something. If it didn't have his name beside it, I wouldn't recognize him. WTF would they do that?

English isn't his first language (I think). Even though he speaks it almost perfectly, he might not realize that he is coming across as cocky.

The rule is fine how it is. Stop being ridiculous. Stepping on the line to serve can be the difference between an ace and a ball going into the net. We don't see it called very often because it DOESN'T HAPPEN very often. Pros have done this their whole lives, and know to keep their foot...

If a shot is coming deeper than I expected and I have to take it way early, I get a better shot if I bend my knees to get a little lower.

Delpo is a good guy. Complaining about the cup on that serve was the only thing that annoyed me. I'm a huge *******, but think Delpo absolutely deserved it. That being said, I think this was one of the most poorly handled US Opens ever, and some people in the USTA need to resign or be...

That was rude of Dick Enberg to not let Del Potro speak to his Spanish speaking fans when he asked. And the second time, he finally let him speak but told him to make it quick. What an *******; let the champion speak for a minute.

Not to mention threatening them with a deadly weapon by holding the racquet in the manner she did. Imagine a baseball player threatening an umpire with a bat. He would be gone for the whole season.

Yes, the pros who are weak minded and feel the pressure are more likely to make a mistake like sliding their foot during a serve, and they must be called on it. That is why it happened on a big point, because of the pressure of losing the 5 previous points. BTW, there is a press box directly...

The part of her she making contact with the ground is the widest part of the shoe. I guess it is possible that she turned her foot beyond parallel with the baseline, but we will just have to wait until USTA or someone in the crowd posts the revealing pics.

Also, she only foot faulted because of the pressure of the whole crowd being against her. You see, even though she is American, the US Open crowd hates her because she is black. Only once she is dead will they realize how great she was at tennis and show more of her matches on TV. (see her...

I bet a pic comes out today that will put this to rest. There were hundreds of cameras there, so surely someone captured it.

I can't believe the first 2 people thought that might be serious. You wouldn't know sarcasm if it shoved a ball down your throat.

Even if your shoestring is touching the line, it is a foot fault. Hawkeye cameras are in the tops of the stadiums. Foot fault cameras would need to be much lower so they can see what part of the shoe is contacting the ground and what part is not.

Look, tennis is about self control and mental strength, especially on crucial points. Serena was feeling the pressure and pivoted her foot (which she does not normally do), putting the side of her foot on the line.

Just found this quote from an interview: "I'm pretty sure I did. If she called a foot fault, she must have seen a foot fault." Source: http://ballhype.com/story/i-m-pretty-sure-i-did-if-she-called-a-foot-fault-she/ --- And you idiots saying it doesn't matter if it was a foot fault need to...

Actually, this thread is called "Was it a foot fault?" Which is why I anxiously await pics that conclusively show that it was. There was so many cameras out there, so someone had to get a shot of it. I hope today the pics begin to surface.

No high res pics from the sidelines yet? And no poll option for "inconclusive?" Serena foot faults all the time, and I see no reason to doubt the line judge's call here. Feet are MUCH easier to see than a fast moving ball, and they get close line calls within 2mm correct over 80% of the time...

SICK rally at 15 all!! What a winner overhead by Sod!

I agree, but women gripe about wanting the same pay as men, so they would probably gripe about this being sexist as well.

Weird. After watching it full screen, it appears that he scratches his butt before raising his finger. I can't tell 100% if it's his middle or index finger. Maybe it was an innocent gesture, but it sure appears to be a flip-off at first glance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP9U7_pktpg&fmt=18 I think NYC should cite him for obscenity and the FCC should fine his @$$ as well. SPOILER the score can be seen in the corner so I posted this here.

No one wants women to play 5 set matches. It would turn off the viewers, bore the crowds, and make tourneys even longer. The only logical option is to reduce their pay. It will be interesting to see how many viewers the women's final had vs the men's final. Even though the men's final falls on a...

Here it comes!! Whooooo!!

I saw this one too. It was like a baseball player trying to steal a home run. He over head sliced it without even looking back and it dropped in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hp-EArV6s8

My vote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll7SCg-tZ08&fmt=18 Watch the ballgirl duck! I also liked his between the legs VOLLEY against Henman at the US Open 2 years ago I think.

I think they will be 98% behind Federer. Djoko was out of line saying the whole crowd didn't believe his injuries. Roddick is the one who said it. Then, it could just be poor English and he didn't mean it that way.
