US OPEN TENNIS Thread! Let the late nights commence.

[Raahh]

New thread for the US open.

Am hoping to get round to seeing some of it, but in the meantime, I am limbering up my refresh finger.

DD2 enjoyed her birthday everyone.

Poor Stan- he has already qualified for London, I think, but the hype after his Aussie win was a bit premature.

Ferrer is having a bad couple of months too

Vamos Rafa!!

Hi Mama :)Yay Rafa. Gulbis has put out Fognini.

On one of the tennis forums there's an article, supposedly from an Italian magazine, that says Pot's wrist pain is back worse than ever. No one seems to know if it's true or not as this seems to be the only source of the info. The last info from Pot himself was that he was hoping to return for the European swing later this month. Have any of you folks heard anything?

on tennis tv earlier they were saying pot is now looking doubtful for Europe, and talking about the delicate treatment he has to have on the wrist.

Oh no, that's bad news mama. If his wrist is getting bad again, after surgery, I don't reckon there's much hope. I wonder where the info is coming from though cos, as far as I can tell, it's not coming directly from him or his camp.

Gilles Simon through :) Brief clip of Rafa and Andy on breakfast tv just now.

Fognini running true to mouthy type again apparently in his match v Ernie.

Ernie pulled out of his match v Klingon due to injury. Pulled out of doubles too. Not sure what the injury is, possibly shoulder related :(

Morning all,
Rafa looking good took the first set 6-3.

They just mentioned pot again, apparently Europe is now not happening but they aren't saying who is saying that, so fingers crossed it's just them speculating.

Wow some seriously bad tempered play from serena.

how does serena (the worst most not apt name ever) get away with it?

I haven't seen match btw but can well imagine the scene.

not respecting others yet demanding others respect HER.

I hate the commentary on Sky.

I have been sick all day, with a pretty bad migraine. I am dosed up with all sorts- and now discover Nadal lost.

my day gets worse.

I still feel rubbish today, and feel a bit spaced out from the painkillers.

Glad to see Djok win,though.

I do like Klingon, so i hope he does well.

Feel for you Raahh I suffer from migraines so can empathise.

BTW why do people say 'I have a bad headache' or 'a terrible migraine'?

are there any GOOD headaches or migraines ? .

I like Klingon too. but like Berdych too.

have the Djocks had baby yet? cant see any news about it.

I usually have degrees of migraine- ok ways are pain only, and a bit of nausea. Going up to constant sickness and paralysis. Fortunately, that is not as common.

Poor Klingon. I had high hopes

As for Djok's baby- surely s/he is due very soon? I'm on Djok having a few months weeks off paternity leave

Evening all. Must be a some sort of correlation between tennis and migraines - I too get them. Hope all sufferers are feeling ok now. Not looking good for Pot is it :(

Djok must be hoping Mrs Djok can hang on til he gets home but I reckon he's playing a dangerous game :) Hope he's got that private jet fuelled up and on stand by.

Well done to Djok, and a grudging one to Nishikori, who i cannot take to at all. Raonic did try, though. Berdych, not so much.

Despite the lack of Slams, Djok is having a solid year, and with weddings and babies, he will hopefully not look back on it as a bad one. Nishikori is just sneaking up on everyone and shouting 'Boo!'

Dogs has disappointed me a lot- he's just not continued where he started at the start of the year. He's just lost to Bustagur

But Vamos!! Rafa- win something before the end of the year, please. it will help my nerves. Although I can't believe it's a year since Shanghai, and a nearly a year since ds went to China!

Murray in the relatively unusual position of not getting a bye in the first round, as he's out of the top 8.

Fognini- gracious in defeat as always!

they've taken away our ball emoticon!

Ha ha, I just came on to post that story, Tardis.

Well that's strange. It worked.

Rafa has appendicitis but is going to play anyway!

Rafa! That can't be sensible though...

Dropping like flies at Shanghai, though.

I still have a throbbing pain in my head- I even went to the Doctors yesterday, which I never do as 'it's only a migraine' .

Anyway, I'm missing everything, which is rubbish frankly, but thought I would bob in and say hi!
