That coupled w/Nadal having NO UE's in the 4th set pretty much set the tone for the 5th set. He just turned it up a notch. Isner's serve was jumping off the clay. It's hard to get a read on how today shapes up Nadal's chances cause I doubt he'll see another server like Isner.
And he NEVER will take the next step. I think it was his win over Murray at Flushing Meadows in 09 that had everybody hype about his potential. Since then....idk what he's done since then but it's been a whole lotta nothing!
Del Potro and Dr. Ivo in a fight in the 1st round today
*memories from posting here in 08*
i'll drop my thoughts on the FO since it's my fav GS...
On the women's side, I want Sharapova to win it to complete her career GS but her serve is too damn inconsistent to win another GS imo. I know she changed her serve motion back to how it kinda use to be...
Can't wait for "Super Saturday". I think Nadal should and will breeze through Youzhny in 3. I know his comp hasn't really been stiff this Slam but who woulda thought there would be a US Open where he'd reach the semi's w/o dropping a set and getting broken only once!?!?!?!
I like both of them so I had to stay neutral today. Sharapova and her damn double faulting buried her something serious. Seems like since her shoulder reconstruction, her serving has been off
I thought Stan was going to mail it in after the first set cause you know he notorious for caving in under pressure. Out of Sod, Fed, and Novac, I got a feeling that one of them will fall soon
