OT: US Tennis Open: The old vs. the ancient.

[RadyLady]

Federer aces his serve, 30 - love

 

[RadyLady]

and wins 4-6 3-6 6-4 5-7 6 - 2

 

[RadyLady]

wow - talk about a major break in concentration...Monfils double faults his way (x 2) into getting his service game broken, and Roger mows him over in the last game and wins the set.

It's 4-6 3-6 6-4 5-7 going into the fifth

corrected

Ms. Peng is suffering marked leg cramps & may need to quit vs. the Woz. The Chinese is down a game & a break.

Shuai's done. Incredibly difficult to watch the last few points. Wozniacki was kind and gracious...

 

[RadyLady]

Serena just mowed through the first set, 6 - 1

on the side...I don't really care for either of their outfits...it's a girl thing

 

[RadyLady]

ESPN commentators are calling it "crush points" when Serena breaks Markarova - which she has done twice thus far in the second set. She should win this easily in a very short while

 

[wire chief]

Andre Agassi, on the occasion of a big beat down, said, "It was a mugging out there".
that's about all Makarova can say. Think the Woz can stand up to little sis?

 

[RadyLady]

Dunno...when Serena is this dominant, it's hard to foresee anyone beating her. She is an incredible athlete who after a somewhat unusual year has collected herself and is playing so strong.
I have seen a lot of Serena, I have not watched a lot of Wozniacki, so I don't know how much of a heart of a champion beats within her, and by that, I mean she has a very gracious heart of a champion, but is it strong enough to beat Serena? I wish I knew. I would make a big bet and wins lots of moola

Markarova won her second service game, it's 5-2 Serena who is serving for the match.

 

[RadyLady]

oooo...Markarova is at break point...and just breaks Serena......

wow...just wow...says a lot about Markarova. Good for her.

I still want Serena to win.

 

[RadyLady]

Serena breaks back for the win. 6 - 1, 6 - 3

Well, Wire..we will find out the answer as to whether "the Woz" can beat Serena in due course.

What I know is you will select a flute solo to usher in the final and it will be outstanding.

thank you. You are so sweet.

 

[Waquoit]

I got back from the football game to find out that Djokovic lost, WTF?

 

[RadyLady]

dunno missed the game. Federer is playing now, and I must applaud his choice of aqua and blue for his gear instead of his usual black. Didn't help his score though and he just lost the first set to Cilic

 

[RadyLady]

already down a break in the second, comes back and wins his next game. It has got to be so hot there I must say....all those folks baking in the seats...

 

[RadyLady]

Now he is down 3-5 in the second, and they have not even played an hour.......Roger well...doesn't look like Roger....

He looks as though he is warming up still......

 

[RadyLady]

Wow - and now he is down 2 sets to Cilic 3 - 6, 4 - 6.

Getting hard to watch. I won't give up, but geezzzzzz......

 

[RadyLady]

Federer practically aced his way through the first game of the third set. Hmmmmmmm

 

[RadyLady]

There is life after two sets. Federer just broke Cilic

 

[RadyLady]

and Cilic just broke back. dammit

 

[RadyLady]

after being on serve, admittedly having to work for his points, Federer just lost his serve again. 4 - 3 Cilic now serving...

 

[RadyLady]

5 - 3 Cilic, Federer now serving....

 

[RadyLady]

5 all, Cilic serving...

 

[RadyLady]

and we're done. Cilic wins 6 - 4, 6 - 4, 6 - 4.

Wow....
