Great Photoshop skills, I see a job at Dream Works for you NadalDramaQueen. ;)

I'll put in a good word for you.

I am too lazy to bust out photoshop myself until after the USO final.

Fed d. Djok 7-5 7-6 6-4.

Book it. :cool:

Novak looks like Screech.

Deal with it. :cool:

For a second it looks like Tomic.

So, Screech + Djokovic= Tomic?

Watching the recap on Eurosport right now. Was it that humid during Fed's match? I can't remember ever seeing Federer glistering so much from sweat :p

Did you notice how Young never used his wrist towel and generally asked for a towel on every second point?

Seems so. Even in the other matches, Somdev was glistening. Rogi kept wiping his brow/forehead with his wristband. I first thought Donna had oiled his wrists to frighten Rogi :D

I realize Young burned some bridges and the Mcenroe's are not his biggest fans but Johnny Mac is being a little brutal on the guy. Seems to continually make what, to me, seem like unprofessional comments as an announcer.

I agree. They were very unprofessional the entire match. I'm not a big fan of Mac brothers as commentators to begin with because of the constant, unending verbal pablum that they both spew. But with the history between PMac and Young, I'm surprised that he was commentating yesterday. Maybe because of their history is why he was commentating. But PMac was the better (less mean) of the two in their complete denigration of Young. I hope Young improves and does well just to spite these two.

Well done to everyone who called the win, and to Federer for being a good loser.

lol.

in all seriousness, i picked young in 4. lefty spinny fh + great court coverage = Fed's kriptonite.

Young in 3 was my vote

This is the true final! Whoever wins here will go on to win the title.

That said Donald in 5: 0-6,0-6,7-5,6-4,7-6(0)

DY shocks the World Tonight

The Donald looks zoned in

Not a surprise. If you're not in the top 10, you're a 5.0 scrub who's getting paid too much.

The Don upset. This Federer guy could be a serious threat for the title, now that the top favourite is out.

I think they were being rather honest about DY.

I mean what was up with the slice serve so wide?

On Fed's side, he hardly played. Brought his C game and got a nice workout.

I thought pMac was as well. I hate to see anyone fail on national tv. Regardless of his personality and past mistakes\verbal diarrhea, he deserves to be treated respectfully by the announcers.

Whazzup ? I don't see the Federer vs Phau match in the Schedule of Play, whereas Murray is playing.
Does Rogi get 2 days off or what ?

There is only one R2 match on Wednesday,Murray-Dodig in the evening session so basically everyone who played Monday gets 2 days off.

Yeah, I figured that out a little later. I assume this is due to rain. Does this mean they'll play 2 days in a row ?

It has nothing to do with rain.That`s how they always schedule it.And except the Murray match all of the R2 matches will be played Thursday and Friday.
So basically the first couple of rounds are stretched over lots of days only for semis and finals to be played over 2 days.
