Re: US Open 2008 by FOD(m): 6:55pm On Sep 06, 2008
Federer wins! 6-3, 5-7, 7-5, 6-2. He awaits Murray/Nadal

To be honest, Djokovic didn't look well throughout the match.

murray is playing one of the best tennis the tournament has seen.

he is killing nadal.

the 3rd set will be fire.
Re: US Open 2008 by Nobody: 7:23pm On Sep 06, 2008
congrats Rafa. Its been a great yr but even a champion loses sometimes . . . the run is over. smiley
Re: US Open 2008 by Nobody: 7:41pm On Sep 06, 2008
Pls update me,has that boy beaten nadal?
Re: US Open 2008 by bagoma(f): 7:43pm On Sep 06, 2008
hey david, has the match ended already?  sad
Rafa lost? angry
Re: US Open 2008 by bagoma(f): 7:49pm On Sep 06, 2008
@ darefestus,
i'm sure you'd like for Nadal to lose, that way your Fed wont have to face his bogeyman.
i would have love to see a nadal/fed final. the Us crowd would have loved that best too.
anyway, let david confirm if my guy has lost. let me check on d net here too. (here on ESPN they are still on the 2nd set)
Re: US Open 2008 by dinozzo(m): 7:51pm On Sep 06, 2008
play has been suspended, thank God tongue
Re: US Open 2008 by Nobody: 8:04pm On Sep 06, 2008
Game not yet over folks. Heavy rain has suspended play, its 2 sets to Murray, 3-2 to Nadal in the third.
The rest will benefit Murray the most and he will win. I fancied Nadal in a marathon 5-setter but . . . its all well, the boy has tried.
Re: US Open 2008 by FOD(m): 9:11pm On Sep 06, 2008
The rest of the match between Murray and Nadal will be concluded tomorrow. The women's final has been shifted till tomorrow too.

It's a pity the men's final will be played on Monday as a result of this postponement  sad. Will I have to skip work on Monday?
Re: US Open 2008 by Nobody: 9:42pm On Sep 06, 2008
It was important to stay grounded. I knew the tough times were going to arrive.

-- Roger Federer
, A year ago in the U.S. Open final, Djokovic led 6-5 in each of the opening two sets. In the first, he held five set points. In the second, he held two. He capitalized on zero, prompting this postmatch one-liner: "My next book is going to be called, 'Seven Set Points.' "

But Djokovic is no longer as inexperienced, nor Federer as invincible. This time, Djokovic seized his third set point, returning a 121 mph serve and watching as Federer stepped up for what should have been an easy shot and rushed a forehand long, Those remaining in Ashe cheered for both No. 2 Federer and No. 3 Djokovic, to be sure, but there was more support for the reigning champion.

Maybe that's because they remembered what happened Thursday night. After beating Andy Roddick, Djokovic drew merciless boos by lashing out at the American, taking him to task for making light of the Serb's series of medical issues earlier in the week,

Or maybe the fans simply figured Federer needed an extra push during what, by his so-special standards, has been a sub-par season.

He has 12 losses, more than in any entire season from 2004-07.

He has only two titles, from minor events, his lowest total entering a U.S. Open since 2002.

He faces the possibility of going through an entire year without a Grand Slam title for the first time since 2002 -- this from a guy who won three of the four major championships in 2004, 2006 and 2007.

There was this hanging in the balance, too: Had Djokovic won this rematch of last year's U.S. Open final and gone on to take the title, he would have surpassed Federer in the rankings, dropping the longtime No. 1 all the way to No. 3.

"This was a big match," said Federer, who is chasing Pete Sampras' record of 14 career Grand Slam championships. "I knew it from when I saw the draw.",
Re: US Open 2008 by rasputinn(m): 2:39pm On Sep 07, 2008
I wonder what Rafa Nadal will be doing now,I hope he's not sleeping,he should rather figure out a way to counter Murray's annoying game plan kuz I must see him @ the finals against the Fed express.
Anything short of that,then the us open is closed in my book
Re: US Open 2008 by Nobody: 2:46pm On Sep 07, 2008
i'd prefer Rafa lost now. Less points to defend next yr.
Re: US Open 2008 by iice(f): 4:19pm On Sep 07, 2008
4th set, Federer leads 3-2,,

Now i am sure you don't know what you are talking about, abi i lie?

I was talking about the murray / nadal match undecided

nwayz, hopefully the battle continues later. Dunno if i'l even watch it so tired already undecided

Who cares what they would luv to see,if they like make them build person with the Serve of SAMPRAS,Technique of AGASSI,Power of BERG,Defence of NADAL,Cunningness of DJUKOVIC, Federer is going to beat them together,to be a champion you must be ready to play the best, thats what ,Analysts say, BE COOL
