GoodAsGould Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Has been a real crazy us open so far with all the rain, 2 americans made the quarters so that's something. All top 4 seeds made semifinals though, seems like the gap after Murray is pretty big. Hoping Murray or nadal win this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Nadal vs djokivich should be fun, nadal looked banged up in Wimbledon so hopefully this is a better match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Federer was awfully salty in his post-match press conference. It almost sounded like he was pissed Novak didn't sit down and take the loss with 2 match points. He's a POS. This is my favorite: "Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don't know." Stay classy Fed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Lol he just lost a match he was up 2-0, how can you expect him to not be annoyed and a little bothered by stupid questions. If anything djokivich looked like he was throwing a hissy fit because fans were rooting for federer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call it a hissy fit, but the fans at Ashe are always obnoxious and seem to disregard any tennis etiquette. Doesn't help when Roger is playing quick and serving as the crowd is still cheering on the last point. When he saved the 1st match point with that epic return, the crowd was in Djokovic's pocket. It was nuts. And ya, if you've seen any of Federer's interviews after his latest losses, the guy is just a huge asshole. He will NEVER acknowledge when someone outright beats him and he always says the same thing. "My serve was on. My forehand felt good. My backhand was great. I thought I returned the ball better than ever." GTFOH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Well I guess when you were as good as he was in his prime it gets to your head? Djokivich is a great player though and that return on first match point was sick. I've always been a nadal fan though, he is so much fun to watch with his never give up play style. Andy Murray in a couple years might become number 1 player, feel bad for him only one of the elite 4 without a major win.... And yes he does deserved to be grouped with the other 3.

Rowand44 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 First off, let me say that Djokovic is clearly the best player in the world right now, the guy is just flat out awesome. That being said, he was definitely throwing quite the hissy fit today when the fans started to side with Federer. You're a grown man, man up and stop being offended that you're not the crowd favorite. Boo hoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I don't watch a whole lot of Tennis, I usually just get wrapped up in the Quarter/Semi's of the Majors, but that Federer/Djokovic match was the best one I've ever watched. Also, in watching the Wozniacki/Williams match, three things: 1. I really do not like either of the Williams sisters. Or their father. 2. How is Wozniacki #1?? The few times I've seen her she just loses. 3. And maybe this is just me, but I find Men's Tennis FAR superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Murray in a couple years might become number 1 player, feel bad for him only one of the elite 4 without a major win.... And yes he does deserved to be grouped with the other 3. In a lot of ways, Murray and Djokovic are similar, but if Murray wants to be #1, he'll have to overcome the same problem Djokovic did: himself. Murray, moreso than Djokovic ever was even, is a mental midget. He always pouts on the court. He always yells at his box. He'll be up 5-1 in a set and slam his racket on the ground as if he was down 5-1. He loses confidence in himself so quickly. He's a similar defensive player as Djokovic, but he has a better serve (thought not quite the athlete/returner Djokovic is). The other big thing was that Djokovic was able to break through and get that 1st grand slam in Australia in 08 at the age of 21 or 22. Murray is already 24 and hasn't been able to get through Djokovic/Nadal/Federer. And for cereal, Djokovic isn't that hard to spell.

And the answer to #3 has a lot to do with why #2 is true as well. There isn't a legitimate top tier in women's tennis like there is with the top 4 in men's tennis, though it seems that there will be soon since Serena is healthy. There have been a lot of different number 1's in the last few years and that's simply the way it will be for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Nadal needs to work on his game to counter djokivic this offseason, lost to him 6 times this year I think. Oh well good job djokivic, this was your year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
