Good morning! Seems like I haven't missed any tennis today.

I like Blake a lot and as an American, I will stay neutral in this match. I will be unhappy if either loses I think. But at the same time, I kind of want Blake to win, just so people would stop the whole "he worships Fed" thing. It's against his self interest to do so and I'll never believe that he would want to have a 0-8 record against anyone. That's just dumb.

Anyways, hopefully we get some tennis soon!

According to nbcolympics.com, there has been a rumor floating around about a tentative start time scheduled for 7:30 Eastern.

Nice job at dodging there, that took some skill. I'm still waiting for you to prove your point. I said that everytime he plays Nadal that the match is on Blakes racquet and as a retort you bring up year to date stats? I fail to see the connection here. Let me show you. Blake is the more agressive player by far! If you were to look at their last match stats you will see that James had a total of 36 winners to Nadal's 25 and a total of 31 UE to Nadal's 13. Now look at those UEs. Yes, he's playing Nadal who makes you hit more shots when you play him hence the high number of UEs from James.


I know that Rafa didn't blow blake off the court and that Blake is a good player. In fact, I'll usually be pulling for James to win against most people. I'll concede and say you're right in this case.

I'm a fan of the loser has to leave town for a certain amount of time. Say 1 month.

a month without Nadal_Freak. that would be a breath of fresh air (however, i doubt if he'd agree to your wager). ;) go blake!

EDIT: when i wrote 'go blake', i meant against nadal not fed. go fed!

Im really torn here, Id love to see James get a medal here, but I'd also love to see Roger turn his season around.....

so far Blake is controlling the pace, points are very short, not alot of rallies

I think Federer has gone from having the best forehand in the world to one of the worst. How many forehand UE's has he made already in the first 4 games?

Are players double faulting more in Beijing or just my imagination? It probably is just me noticing it more than usual.

Thanks for the replies, but unfortunately those links dont work :(
Trying justin.tv but cant find anything there too, o well, ill just read the forums. Thanks for help tho
 
Definitely not the prettiest tennis going on here. Seems like every point ends with an UFE. Blake netting returns and federer cant hit a bh pass to save his life right now.

WOW, Roger is really WILD tonight. If Blake can't make some inroads on this Roger then it is truly Hopeless for James.

I wonder what the total number of forehand UE's is for Federer in Beijing because he's had a ton in every one of his 4 matches so far.

According to the official website, it's as follows:

vs Turnsunov: 19 Winners, 21 UE's
vs Arevalo: 20 winners, 27 UE's
vs Berdych: 18 winners, 32 UE's

Thanks, but I wonder how many of those are forehand UE's?

Oops, he just hit another forehand long. And one more to lose the game.
