Serena is still bunning in her oven. Djokovic and Wawrinka shut down their seasons. Murray's hip is still broken. In other words, nobody will watch this trash garbage, and Federer will win his 20th slam at age 36. But he definitely doesn't dope.  http://www.usopen.org/index.html TV coverage is on ESPN/ESPN2/WatchESPN.

New York Times Magazine with a couple of tennis profiles: Monfils: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/24/magazine/usopen-monfils-miraculous-shots.html Federer: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/24/magazine/usopen-federer-nadal-backhand-wonder-year.html Also, here's a somewhat gruesome picture of Petra Kvitova's injured hand, right after the knife attack and now, all healed up. It's pretty amazing that she's back out there playing tennis at a high level.  Jack's Flow fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Aug 26, 2017 |

Jack's Flow posted:Alex Zverev NYTimes profile: For some reason I can't get excited about Zverev at all. I just don't really enjoy watching him play though I can't articulate why that is, I guess some intangibles in the aesthetics of his game. From the youngsters I easily prefer Thiem and Kyrgios over him.

I had forgotten how garbage the US Open radio is compared to the other slams. I'm sure they'll play that advert for a hospital again. e: get rid of the awful main commentator and let Robbie Koenig do the whole drat thing. Sodium Chloride fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Aug 28, 2017 |

I've got a sweet parlay going. 5 legs are pretty easy, Cibulkova/Konta/Stephens winning and Muguruza/Wozniacki winning in straights. The last leg is Sharapova beating Halep, which she's done all 6 times they've played. But Sharapova has only played 1 match since her doping ban and Halep made the semifinals in Toronto and finals in Cincinnati.  If I becoming a degenerate gambler, blame Mayweather vs. McGregor. edit: Konta in the 3rd and down a break though. I thought Krunic could be a tough match if she plays well, but I thought if I went to a third, Konta's quality would come though.

30 minutes to play less than 5 games, Sharapova-Halep has been fun so far. Wish I wasn't going out so I could keep watching Kind of a bad break for Halep to draw her in the first round though.

Turns out Sharapova doesn't need drugs to beat Halep. This might be for the best for Halep, the looming #1 ranking has been nothing but a noose for her

Tennys Sandgren Sue your parents, dude. edit: quote:Halep was one of eight players who had a chance to claim the WTA World No. 1 ranking at the end of the U.S. Open, as she entered the tournament just five points behind current World No. 1 Karolina Pliskova. The last No. 2 women's seed to lose in the first round of the U.S. Open was Andrea Jaeger in 1981. Sharapova moves into the second round to face Hungary's Timea Babos. One of eight. Oh my.

I was going to complain earlier about the rain forcing me to watch Nadal/Lajovic but actually Lajovic is playing really well and this is really entertaining so far. I hope he can keep it up.

Osaka over Kerber was the only underdog pick I made for today's parlay. You could see it coming from a mile away. The other legs were Karlovic, Gasquet, Vandeweghe and Keys, but the first 3 are on outside courts and this loving rain.

Federer loses the first set, start panicking. Solid stuff from Tiafoe. I only know of him cause of the Challenger match he played with the weird sex noises. e: Federer looks like he's steadied the ship. Sodium Chloride fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Aug 30, 2017 |

Well Federer has suddenly started looking like poo poo again. A fifth set in the first round seems like a real poo poo deal. Unless he loses then it seems like a super poo poo deal.
