Flushing Meadows comes alive. The 2008 US Open Thread

Congrats to Serena. If you had told me before the match the rallies would be that long and intense, I would have told you Jankovich would cruise. Never expected that kind of fight from Serena. Jankovich showed heart though and will get her majors in due time. Can't wait for 5 o'clock tomorrow.

I will be watching that match tomorrow, as all of England will too.

Could be a fun day for the UK. Murray actually owns a winning record (2-1) against Federer.

I didn't know this, I just realized it will be ten oclock in the evening, UK time when this match starts tomorrow.

Good answer, I have never been back to England since I left in 78. I hope one day I get the opportunity.

this is completely rude i know, but i have my doubts that Serena is truly 150 lbs

or that Jankovich is 100% human. She's got some Affirmed blood in there somewhere.

I'm totally for the underdog this afternoon...

 

[volfanbill]

i do believe that Murray not calling that challenge will be his downfall.

It is a shame that the player has to stop the play to make a challenge though.

 

[volfanbill]

ummm, just kidding

Congrats to Roger. I was starting to get worried he wouldn't win one this year.
