Sergio Garcia Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hewitt takes the final set with ease winning it 6-1. 7/1 at the start of the match was a steal considering his form against JDP this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Skacel Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 I watched it till Hewitt got broken back at 5-5 in the second set. Was a good match up till then. Only downside to Del Potro going out is I was hoping he could perhaps be the one to knock out Novak. Seems like our Andy is going to have to do this the hard way.

Rudi Skacel Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Great win there 7-6 6-2 6-2 Some of the shots were just brilliant. Good stuff going into next week. Should get through the 4th round ok but it gets really tough in the quarters against either Berdych (who has played well so far unnoticed) or Wawrinka who won today in 4 sets, and the semi and final need to explaining.

I still believe that, in normal conditions, Berdych would have beaten Murray in last year's semi-final. I also do not believe that Murray will win this tournament. Utterly ridiculously, I think Federer will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 geez a break lawson. Should have retired about a year ago. Nadal wins this at a canter.

I have come to the conclusion djoko has regressed an his one great season was a bit of a fluke. Well yes: he was bound to regress on that level of brilliance. I attempted to make precisely that point in the aftermath of the Wimbledon final, but no-one on here was having it. Blue and white tinted specs are far easier to hide behind at such moments.

scott_jambo Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'd love to see Rafa and Murray go at it full pelt in a US Open final. Nadal's hard court form has been unstoppable this year and of course picked up his madrid, barca and roland garros wins on the clay. He's definitely back.

Boaby Ewing Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Aye that Wimbledon thread was something else eh Djoko for me is now in a position ahead of fed/del Potro and behind Murray/nadal Think that's a bit harsh on Djokovic. He's only had one set so far this tournament go beyond 6-2. I think he'll beat Murray in the semi then lose to Nadal in the final though. Hope I'm wrong, obviously. A Nadal vs Murray final would be awesome. When was the last time they met in a major? I mind Murray beating Nadal in the semi in either 2007 or 2008 at the US Open, but can't remember many others.

Last meeting was the 2011 US Open semi-final. Nadal won in four sets. Nadal actually beat him in three grand slam semis that year though a lot has changed since then.

To be honest, it's just a feeling I have, the stats don't support it but I just think he has lost some of that magic he had two years ago. Murray is clearly the better player now for me.

shaun.lawson Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Lawson goes very scatter-gun after his ace-in-the-hole Del Potro gets pumped out I went very scatter-gun before my ace-in-the-hole Del Potro got pumped out, I'll have you know. Having been tipping JMDP all year long to win this, I backed off a few weeks back. And why? Because I watched Federer playing like a donkey - playing more like Roger de Courcey than Roger Federer - and I thought: "This is the GOAT for heavens sake. This can't continue". And then I thought back to Pete Sampras also suffering a stunning early exit at Wimbledon, also playing like a donkey during that summer, and being completely written off by everyone... before bouncing back to win one final US Open and cap his glorious career. So that's what I think will happen this time too. NB. Of course it won't happen. It'd be absolutely mental if it did. But hey ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I know how I feel. I thought I would be all and have been in the past when he slipped up but I feel right sorry for him tonight for some reason. I'm not impressed with myself or my reaction at all if that's any better. Doesn't matter what he does, it's just not happening for him tonight. Very strange. Robredo deserves some credit but there's also loads of bizarre ****** ups and unforced errors from Federer.

Rudi Skacel Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Just been looking at the rankings, Roger will actually move up a place to 6th due to Del Potros's early exit and a key one here, if Djokovic fails to reach the final and Nadal wins the US Open then he will be number 1. Its only a matter of time before Nadal becomes number 1 in the world again and he will do so before the WTF in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan and Gasquet are both snapping at Fed's heels to take places in the tour finals. I'm assuming that JWT is injured but if he puts together a few more tournies, there's a decent chance of Fed falling to make the tour finals.
