Watching the junior match on usopen.com. It's funny the gigantic difference in play quality. They also have some weird dj for the breaks.

I was sure he would be dead from his last two matches. Please keep it up.

Nishikori seems to have trouble holding a lead, it's like he needs to dig himself into a hole first before he can find his best game. If he wins this he'll probably end up doing it in five, I can't imagine him not getting broken in this set (but would love to be proven wrong).

Nishikori looks like he's just going to cruise into the final at this point...provided they manage to play two more games before the rain hits. Edit: Unless he only needs one game OrangeKing fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Sep 6, 2014 |

I only got to listen to Djoker/Kei on radio, so I'm watching the match now since you can skip back on the USOpen.org stream. It'll be interested to hear the commentators' bias knowing the outcome. Also: Congrats on #18, Roger Federer edit: CBS stream also lets me seek back. That's going to be even MORE biased.  edit2: ODDS… Djokovic to win 1.13 Nishikori to win 8.4 Josh Lyman fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Sep 6, 2014 |

Hirez posted:As much as I love Nishi (after never hearing of him before some how :negativeman: ) Nishikori has had terrible injury problems which meant he wasn't hyped up as Raonic or Dimitrov. He's made out of glass and a lot of people will see this win as a miracle after two five set matches.

Cilic can't keep this level for a whole match right?  EDIT Finally Fed makes Cilic run a bit. Time to get the break back! fancyclown fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Sep 6, 2014 |

I have always been behind Federer in the battles among the top guys, but I'm surprisingly finding myself pulling for the underdogs against him. Obnoxious crowd over-cheering unforced errors doesn't help either.

He's still Fed, he's got an aura about him but I don't think Cilic is going to pull a Monfils-level choke

Cilic is absolutely destroying the ball with his groundstrokes. He's like Delpo with better movement.

Any rain coming? Roger needs a break I think  and Cilic needs to cool down.

Man Federer always seems to go away from the slice when he plays big hitters. He seems to want to try and challenge them with topspin backhands all the time and that just seems dumb. I mean Federer knows better than I ever will how to beat these guys but it always makes me question him.

This is completely routine for Cilic so far. Federer's terrible. I wonder if he's feeling more pressure now that Djokovic's lost and the title is ostensibly his for the taking.

Roger  Maybe he's just making it dramatic and will wake up in the 3rd set.

Part of me wants Fed to win, only to lose to Nishikori in the final. Can you imagine going through the 1, 2, 3, and 5 seeds for your first major?

Cilic is a huge choker so there is still a way through for Federer... but the match is going fast and something big needs to happen for a momentum change.

That's what I'm thinking. Cilic can't keep this up. But Federer needs to change that shirt. EDIT changing shirt. To another blue/green one though. fancyclown fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Sep 6, 2014 |
