Alro 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 Roddick was bounced last night. After he was broken in the first set, serving for the set , at 5-3, I knew he was done for. Tim Henman was upset, too. It is hard for me to pick anybody but Federer to win it. Agassi is my sentimental favorite and I'm hoping his back will hold up for one last run. Anybody else watching?

notJames 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 Poor Andy Roddick. First he doesn't get to use the nickname A-Rod, and now he gets ousted in the 1st round. I always knew he was overrated. The pretty boys usually are. And it's not like it's not a foregone conclusion that Federer is winning this thing outright. Who can beat him? I personally would like to see him and that new kid Nadal in the finals, but I don't know if the brackets would make that possible. As for the women's side, as long as one of the Williamses doesn't win it, I'll be happy. And if it's Sharapova, I'll be very happy. Now that's good eatin'!

Alro 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 THe draw is set for a Federer/Nadal final, but I don't think it will happen. Federer should cruise to the championship, as he's got a pretty easy draw. Lleyton Hewitt should be his biggest challenge and he's still gotta be hurting from the ass raping he took from Federer in last year's final. I think Nadal will fall in the 4th round to Thomas Johansson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alro 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 I'm going to go ahead and say that Nadal won't get beat by Johansson in the 4th round, as Johansson was upset today in 4 sets. I still don't think Nadal will be playing in the final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2005 If I had to make a US Open Men's Quarterfinal predictions I'd say: Roger Federer (Duh) v. David Nalbandian Lleyton Hewitt v.

Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2005 I was in attendance last night for Pierce vs. Henin-Hardenne and was moved up to courtside for Genipri vs. Gasquet.

notJames 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2005 Super awesome marathon match between Sanguinetti and Srichaphan on Sunday night. Those two 30+ rallies in the fifth set were a sight to see. I'd take that over a Federer match any day of the week. And I would not be upset if Agassi was ousted by fellow American James Blake. If the torch is to be passed, let it be to this outstanding class act. As of the ladies, I will be passing on the Pierce/Mauresmo match. Too much mannish pug-fugliness going on there. Mauresmo looks like Anthony Keidis sans tattoos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alro 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2005 I have to miss Agassi/Blake due to class. The winner of that match is going to the finals. Federer has not been playing to the levels we've seen, but I still that the tournament is a formality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pochorenella 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2005 I also think Federer is taking this tournament, but I'd love to see Agassi nab one final Big-Four Championship, since he's always been a favorite of mine. So obviously I'm rooting for Andre to beat Blake, who I'm indifferent for. So how are the brackets paired up? Does Andre (if he wins vs. Blake) have a chance of meeting Federer in the finals or before that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike546 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2005 Agassi can only face Federer in the finals. Agassi has an easier draw to the finals, while Federer would have to face Hewitt if both make it to the semis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alro 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2005 Federer dropped a set last night, proving that he is human. I still think he's taking the title, though. I would also love to see Agassi win one last Grand Slam before he retires, but Blake has been playing out of his mind. I've got to give the edge to Blake tonight.

Gert T 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2005 Roger Federer v. David Nalbandian Lleyton Hewitt v. Jarkko Nieminen Guillermo Coria v. Robby Ginepri Andre Agassi v. James Blake That's your quarterfinal matches. Look for the crowd to be very loud for the Coria-Ginepri match. Ginepri obviously because he's an American, but Coria did not endear himself to the fans based on his last match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pochorenella 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2005 Funny that David Nalbandian is one of the few players who has a positive win/loss record against Federer. He even has a win over him on a previous US Open but on an earlier round. All wins for Nalbandian except the last two times. Should be interesting, although last night's game saw Nalbandian really lacking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gert T 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2005 Well the US Open obviously would love to see a Federer-Agassi finals. I think Agassi will have a tough challenge against Ginepri, but with Agassi at the majors, you just don't bet against him. And it looks like Sharapova is about 2 wins away from me eating crow.

pochorenella 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2005 No wonder why I love Agassi's playing so much. That match was so fan-fucking-tastic, it had me screaming at my TV set. I was fearing Blake was taking it on 3 sets, but man did Andre rally from behind. I watched the entire tie-breaker standing 2 inches from my TV. Andre is the fucking MAN.
