Bring on the US OPEN

[rocky b]

Wimbledon with all its rain delays ruin tennis. The fact that the men will have to play 5 matches in 7 days to reach the final is a joke. Fed has this wraped up with Hass droping out. I cant wait for the US Open and watch a match without 4 rain delays.

I agree, the rain sucks.. but what can you do? Mother Nature cannot be controlled...

 

[edmondsm]

She can't be controlled but she can be effected. With heat changing the tennis at the Aussie and rain ruining it at the French and Wimby, get used to global warming killing the sport.

^that was funny, man^
Great shot of Rochey there.

I agree, the rain sucks.. but what can you do?

Maybe schedule some matches on Sunday and start before 1 pm in the first week?

 

[Nadal_Freak]

I agree. Wimbledon is a joke. Time for a fair slam.

Ruins tennis? No, it just postpones it, pisses people off, and then hits us with a few jam packed days of the highest quality of tennis played today. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[LeftyServe]

In the '03 US Open, didn't the rain delays add up to about a week of missed play? Ferrero ended up having to play 4 matches in 4 days to reach the final.

Or when Sampras won when he had to play late night sessions against rusedski and haas after a couple of days of rain.

Yes, Wimbledon is a joke this year (even 10 year old could see the advantage of palying on mid-sunday). Their scheduling is just crap.

But I love Wimbledon and it does have the fairest spectators out of the 4 slams.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Its too bad for the rain but we have so many cry babies here.They are athletes, they should know how to play 3 straight matches.Also i believe the final wont be played on sunday.Most of the crying has been from some Nadal fans.

Man you have really short memory. At the last US Open, we got all the way through the first week and to the middle Sunday, and by then because of rain delays Safin had only played one match!!!!!! Yes, go back and check, everybody was whining about that tournament too for the same reasons.

Yes I did rain that year but Wimbledon is every freakin year. I take a morning off to watch some tennis and all I see is rain. The quality of the tennis will be crap having to play 4 matches in 5 days. The Aus. Open is they only tournament that got it right with a roof.
