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.

Oh God, I'd forgotten how annoying Castle was.

Shut up Castle!

Tim virtually told Castle to shut up yesterday (or might have been Thursday) :) He is annoying and he can ramble for England but I have come to, if not actually like, to certainly not mind him. I'm not sure what's come over me. Probably my age. I listen to him on the school run as well.

Will any of you still talk to me now I've admitted that? :)

It was something along the lines of 'he's actually playing some good tennis' that got me.

Of course he's playing good tennis, he qualified for the WTF. They didn't just pick some guy off the street to replace Fed this evening.

I don't love Djok as he comes over as being so very, very, arrogant.

Kudos to Murray for turning up & playing in that emergency. After his awful loss to Federer I thought that took real guts.

Seeing Murray sitting with Mac at the changes I really wondered why Andy doesn't try to get Mac as his coach. I reckon Mac would sort him out.

Have you heard the rumours that Fed and Stan had some sort of altercation last night after their match? Mac said in his commentary for ESPN that "something went on in the locker room and it extended long into the night".

Stan got mad at someone in the crowd in the 3rd set of his match and directed some words at them - speculation is that the "someone" was Mirka, and that he said something like "she did the same at Wimbledon".

Hi all, well what a day. I feel a bit witchy as I saw something wrong with Fed after the semi but give him all credit for coming onto the court. Of course, not all of his fans were in the arena as doubles match meant people were still eating, drinking and arriving.

Huge brownie points to Andy Murray for making himself available.

Fed has only withdrawn three times in his entire career, so it must be pretty bad. He has never retired from a match once it has started.

I will be amazed if he plays Davis Cup and almost hope he doesn't and focuses on getting ready for 2015.

Tim never ages does he?

and good on him to have adig at Castle.

Juan, Im ashamed of you!!!!!

Cash was funny, agree hes like a naughty schoolboy with pranks.

Mac ...can never tell if hes being genuinely grumpy or funny!

again, well done ANDY!

yes, talk of Fed copping out as he knew he couldn't beat Djoko, plus rows with Stan.

If he turns up at davis cup I wont be impresses tbh, even tho I admired him for walking on court and sying it, and being Rog he wouldn't normally give up so easily, I ve been thinking about it and whats to lose? hes not year end number one, what would have been the point?

oh dera, Judy went last last out of SCD!she was very entertaining.

kudos for all the Murray family, Jamie was good as a commentator too.

Im sure I saw Mirka Fed on the front pages of the papers last night on the reviews on the news but didn't see a pic this morning on them.

whats going on there? anybody know?

Tardis it'll be the story about her calling Stan (allegedly) a crybaby.

Look what I've got

LOL. can I recommend you get a teapot too, Juan Martin delPOTro!!

you got an ArgenTEAnian mug! sorry, in a weird mood today.

fudge, that was supposed to be in bold!!!! between the **.

And he plays in Davis CUP.

YOu have not 'got' PeskyJuan.

I have 'got'.

He is mine, all mine.

See ya next week - swords at Victoria Station will be drawn!

Just dropping by, as I lost the thread...

Allez monfils

gaaah! nmissed the match who won? France or Switz?

Stan won the first match against tsonga for the Swiss
Monfils beat federer in straight sets to take the second match for France.

Very good Tardis :)

Interesting match results today.

My new baby arrived today :)

I hate cats so I wont congrat you! (Bleeding things, ill NEVER forget the smell of cat piss in my life, plus the local mogs use MY garden to bring their dead rats in).

back to the tennis!

hate it when the other guy never gets credit.

today-doubles, commentators saying Fed won it. erm, Stan was there too, and Fed LOST his match yesterday whereas Stan WON.

same when Serbia won the DC final a few years ago, it was Troiki who delivered the winning matcvh yet they always say it was Djoko.

I assume you're talking about the mog. not the remote .

whats its name, DelCatro? ooh, please give it a tennis name!

The commentators are so biased in dc. I think all the furore at wtf last week between Rog and Stan can only be a bad thing for Stan. I like him, and think he had a point but Rog is the man who can do no wrong apparently.

Yes, the cat is my new baby, not the remote . The remote is bigger than the cat at the mo. I very nearly called him Rafa but had a brief but vivid vision of myself standing on the back step shouting for Rafa. He's called Farley.

Hate the commentators, their bias is ridiculous.
I like Stan but Allez France all the way today.
Congrats juan have 3 myself two girls full of life and a boy who barely moves unless it's to annoy the dog!

Aw. I want one. It would give me a massive asthma attack, but I still want one.

The kitten obviously, not the remote.

I'm insulted that you don't want my remote Clay :) I've never had such a cuddly kitten - he's draped round my neck as I type.

Rog was pretty happy yesterday wasn't he? Understandably so.
