US Open starts tomorrow and its the last hurrah for Agassi.

[YanksHater213]

wooo i might be going at some point..

 

i expect nothing more than a US Open trifecta from Roger

[jsinger121]

Roger will likely win it but I am curious to see how Roddick plays there with Jimmy Connors as his new coach.

[YanksHater213]

roddicks on fire, he won cincinatti, but its hard to not expect him to have a huge let down. he's playing much better and showing more versatility than his usual baseline pound the ball game which is surprising. he's actually attacking the net and hitting volleys off of shortballs which is somewhat surprising, considering hes never done it before.

 

BUT, i expect him to win at least his eighth of the draw, as his only real threat is baghdatis, and get to the quarters, where barring any upsets he'd play ljubicic, hewitt, gasquet, or my boy novak djokovic, so he'll have a tough match there. but i guess we'll just have to see where the '05 US Open Roddick shows or the 2006 AMS Cincinatti Roddick shows.

[CrespoBlows]

I guess Jimmy Conners gave him some balls.

[YanksHater213]

haha, thats a good way of putting it i guess. thats why he always used to suck, he never followed the ball in. i think he can get back to the top if he does that with much more consistency.

 

edit: by on top i mean 3rd. he's obviously got nothing on federer and nadal.

[Jon_Papelboner]

haha, tennis.

[redsoxrules]

federer wins again and becomes the first player to win wimbledon and the US open in 3 straight years in a row

He's well on his way to becoming the greatest tennis player of all time.

He couldn't hold Sampras' poop, let alone his jock strap.

[YanksHater213]

I'd love to see a Sampras in his prime vs. Federer in his prime (nowish) at Wimbledon.

 

Thatd be mad intense.

[redsoxrules]

federer in another grand slam final , wow did he ever blew away roddick

[YanksHater213]

haha did anyone else witness how bad federer shitted on roddick the other day? i watched the match at 330 in the morning and wow i was impressed, best ive ever seen him play.

[redsoxrules]

and federer wins again , if he can find a way to win the french open he's gonna sweep the grandslam this year

[redsoxrules]

streaks over at 41 .. wow that was a shocker

Federer and Nadal will play on a court that is half clay, half grass... interesting.

[redsoxrules]

nadal wins in a verry close match

 

also it cost 1.63 million to make the surface

[yeszir]

How insanely stupid.

[redsoxrules]

so here we go , federer gets another crack at the french open against nadal , if he can pull this one off it will be the 4th straight slam he's won and will pretty much guarantee him to be the best tennis player ever . il be watching this one

[adam123]

That was a really cool looking court.

[redsoxrules]

great match going on so far ,nadal takes the first set 6-3, federer comes back to take set 2 6-4..

 

EDIT: nadal takes set 3 ..6-3.. way too many unforced errors ( 50!) for federer

 

and nadal wins it again

[redsoxrules]

first day of wimbledon is here... prediction on who wins it all? il have to go with federer on this one

[schillingouttheks]

R-Feds.

[YanksHater213]

your an idiot if you pick anyone other than federer. i heard he didnt even play well today and he still sqaushed that guy 3 2 and 4...

What if they are playing on clay?

[redsoxrules]

What if they are playing on clay?

 

there not , were talking about wimbledon here

[Metropolitan Cowboy]

there not ' date=' were talking about wimbledon here[/quote']

 

 

Then I would take either of the Williams sister in their prime with all of their Predator powers still intact. How the hell are you suppose to play against someone that can just go invisible during a rally?

[redsoxrules]

crappy weather at Wimby so far .... Nadal having problems in the third round against Robin Soderling there in a fifth set tied at 4 a piece

 

EDIT: nadal sqeaks out the win , 7-5 in the final set

[redsoxrules]

semis are set

 

federer VS Gasquet

 

nadal VS Djokovic

 

if it wasent for Djokovic playing in consecutive marathon matches id pick him to beat nadal , unless he can beat nadal in straight sets ...anywho im going with a rematch of federer/nadal

[redsoxrules]

and federer makes it 5 straight , what a great match!
