Post Re: The Tennis Thread - U.S. Open 07
After Serena got down the break in the second set it seemed like she just gave up, I didn't really see any great movement from her.

Post Re: The Tennis Thread - U.S. Open 07
I haven't watched a lot of tennis for many years. This is the first time I've
seen Henin play. It's going to be tough to beat her. I like her. Good
attitude. All business, then shows personality in hitting the balls into the
audience with a smile. Bravo! Keep it up.

I didn't care much for Serena's attitude. She looked like she didn't want to
be there from even before the match in the interview. I don't know if that's
common for her. But first impression is I didn't like her.

I like Nadal in this match. I saw him play in his last match and enjoyed it.

I think Serena lost cause she tore her ACL during the match.

At least, that's what Im assuming since she was screaming so loud. Something obviously wasn't right.

You should like Nadal in this match. He is the solid #2 in the world however we'll see how his knees hold up for this match.

"She made a lot of lucky shots..."

Serena never disappoints with her post-game comments.

Henin has to watch out for Venus still, it's not her championship yet. She's more dedicated to her game than her sister, just injured too much.

And I just read, Henin is 1-7 all time against Venus. Though I don't know how much of those were recent, it's still reversed from Henin's recent track record against Serena.

They last met summer of 03 I believe, so there's a fair bit that has changed, but Jankovic has a good record against Venus so I wouldn't completely count her out.

Ferrer just served for 2-1 and choked... or Nadal beat him with beautiful shots, I can't really know, my tv isn't playing it... just watching the box-score. Lucky lucky Rafa though.

This match and the Wawrinka/Chela match earlier today was very fun to watch.

Indeed. One can only hope all the biggest matches are this good, too.

Hmmm... I don't see Federer/Roddick going 3+ hrs.

The hyped up matches always seem to disappoint while the ones that don't get much attention are entertaining.

"But Roddick is fresher since he's facing him earlier this year!"

Yeah, make all the excuses you want guys... Federer will still beat him.

It's a tough match if Federer only wins in 4.

He has that forehand in the first 2-3 sets but then all the serving really tires out that arm and it is no longer nearly as effective.

Yeah I think the Federer-Roddick match will go like his Isner and Lopez one. Roddick will serve all his energy out in the first set and Roger will start off a bit sluggish, then Roddick will get tired and the next 3 will be Federer wiping him silly. Or it'll something like 7-6, 6-3, 6-2.

I like Venus-Jankovic so far. Lots of deuces and breaks. Breaks are one good thing about women's tennis.

That was probably the women's match of the tournament, IMO. I like Venus a lot more than little sis.

Now onto the "main event"...

That third set was very impressive, and I as well like Venus more than her sister.

Let's hope that the semi with Justine is as competitive and entertaining.
