Volleying U.S. Open (Tennis!) Thread...

Oh, I don't think Roddick stands a chance against Federer. Although at some point, by the laws of averages or something, he'll pull out a win.

 

Henin up a set (tiebreaker) and a break on Serena; Henin looking for her third straight win against the younger Williams sister.

 

Beatdown in the second set by Henin, 6-1. Henin seems to be the new "Serena Stopper." That was impressive.

 

Nadal just lost 3r4d-set tie-break to Ferrer ... could be on his way out


Just give Federer the trophy now.

 

So this really is still going on? Isn't it 1:15 a.m. in New York? What's the Open's latest start time on any given day?

 

It's still going. The morning session went really late. The Djokovic match went almost four hours, and delayed the start of the Serena-that foul evil creature match.

 

And Bethanie bows out in style, and she want's TP's kittens.

second night match has started as late as 11 .. this one started about 10:30

I remember covering a McEnroe-Nastase match I think in '79 that went til after 2 .. and featured the expected blow-up with those 2 on the court.

 

Well, so much for that.

 

Nadal icing his left hand and getting knees taped ...
Three hours into this match, he's going to struggle to finish it.

 

Leopard print and black just screams low-key, no?

 

Maybe at Lion Country Safari.
