Murray got a bit lucky there, because the format was bo3 till the final, not bo5 like a GS, Roger was completely gassed out from the Del Potro match (showing that he's still aging regardless of what people say

), he completely deserved that gold medal but it cannot be compared to a GS win, having to play Djokovic and Federer back to back in a bo5 setting would be really difficult.

One of the things I've noticed about Roger in this US Open swing is that he's not brainfarting, he tends to get a bit complacent and walkabout for a set in most tournaments if he's having an easy lead, in Cincy and the USO he's been brutal, rarely taking off his foot from the gas.

BTW Roger is now 23-0 lifetime at night in the US Open, those conditions definitely suit him.

fed can only be stopped in the semis or the final. and even there they will have to bring their best game.

i cant see anybody else slowing him down with the way he is playing right now.

kerber is going to have to show some guts if she wants this match.

I just saw the replay of Gulbis and Haas match.
Gulbis has changed his demeanor, it's subtle but there.

It appears he needs a little more work but he has the shots.
Serving regularly about 135mph.
Some of those BH's are downright deadly as well as the FH.

I have to get some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's. Later all!!!

US Open 2012 Thursday Interview Federer

It's always interesting to hear this guy speak about the sport, he definitely knows his s**t unlike those clown commentators we see everyday

Clay Death · « **Reply #212 on:** August 31, 2012, 12:47:07 AM »

roger is an intelligent dude arkulari. keep it coming.

i do get tired of some of those broadcasters and have to watch the tennis with no volume at times. mac is getting out of hand for example. he cannot talk enough and its all useless chatter.

Clay Death · « **Reply #213 on:** August 31, 2012, 12:47:55 AM »

see you tomorrow general swish. sleep well.

Clay Death · « **Reply #214 on:** August 31, 2012, 01:01:56 AM »

he looks a lot more relaxed and confident than in the last 2-3 years arkulari.

i think he is going to try to make a hard run for this title here. stupid saturday can make things tricky but i am sure he will do what he can. he is all business.

he has to face the two toughest returners in the game to get his hands at the title which should make the title that much more special if it happens.

its the kind of a challenge one relishes at the very top of any sport. you want to fight the best of the best.

FedFanForever · « **Reply #215 on:** August 31, 2012, 01:42:31 AM »

Looking forward to Harrison/Del Potro and Roddick/Tomic.

Arkulari · « **Reply #216 on:** August 31, 2012, 01:43:27 AM »

he's really relaxed Herc, now he takes time to stroll with the family:

nice pics arkulari. keep them coming.

the girls are dressed near identical too except for the tops (shirts). they are slightly different color.

the shoes and the shorts are identical.

the family has to have some bodyguards back in the distance keeping an eye on them. there is not shortage of sickos in this world.

his girls are really pretty.

not too sure about the tomic vs roddick battle but i am pretty sure that d-pot is going to work ryan over. i cant see ryan getting his hands on more than a set.

how are you seeing it?

Clay Death · « **Reply #219 on:** August 31, 2012, 01:54:17 AM »
